Bournemouth 2-0 Wigan: Scooby Uwe In: The Curious Case Of The Phantom Fixtures
Perhaps the most exciting news from this weekend is the shocking confirmation that ghosts do indeed exist. Nope, I ain’t talking about the not-at-all fabricated New Mexico police station CCTV footage of a shadowy figure that made the mainstream news on Saturday morning. I’m referring to the ‘phantom matches’ that have totally drained Wigan Athletic […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 97: Turn it off and on again
All I need is the PWU show, blasting on the radio… well, mp3 player. Hmm, doesn’t quite have the same ring as Mike Rutherford’s original lyrics, but get Phil Collins singing and it’ll be fine. Stick it in between the 5-minute slap bass jam and wine glass chorus that takes up the record’s whole second side. […]

Huddersfield 0-0 Wigan: Statman and lobbin’
Hey, fancy a John Smith’s warm-down? Nah, neither do I – the thought of hot beer doesn’t necessarily appeal for some reason. Plus it’s work in the morning and I can’t risk marrying a lamp-post on the way home again. Best forget all about it and stick to the bog standard post-match rant. A-but first, […]

Blackburn 3-1 Wigan: Just like watching Brazil
Strikers, who needs ’em? You hand over the remains of your copper jar to fund their bus journey to the DW Stadium (or in this case, Ewood Park) and it’s the midfielders and defenders that grab the precious goal bonus. Which, considering the world’s current economic climate, is probably one individually wrapped mint chocolate ‘acquired’ […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 96: International breakdown
Another potentially slanderous edition of Progress With Unity welcomes the return of domestic football, covering the three most important podcast topics: sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Or, in this case, cock ‘n’ roll (b’gorrk). Taking a break from biscuit jokes and Holt jibes (well, kind of), the team chalks up a record number of […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 95: Disneyland Delights
After three weeks of fighting through the Central American jungle, the remaining members of the Progress With Unity Podcast, led by Major Barry ‘Dutch’ Worthington, have finally destroyed the evil lurking within. As the predatory Michael Mouse is now caught in a man-sized rat trap, those members held captive at this twisted Disneyland resort are […]
