Wigan 2-2 Millwall: If you’re gonna do it, do it properly
Today’s post is rated 15 by the LBBC (Latics Board of Blog Classification) due to violent situations. And before we proceed, JWAW would like to point out that it doesn’t condone lashing out, at least not when the ref’s looking your way. Still here? Really? You gotta be crazy… Many more one-liners like that and […]

Oldham 1-1 Wigan: Lactic fantastic
Hmm, Latics vs Latics… wait, this could get very messy indeed – we require a non-controversial naming convention here. I can only use ‘Oldham’ and ‘Wigan’ so many times before Google Penguin (or whatever it’s called now) relegates this post to the seventh page of search results. With 100 results per page. A few seasons […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 136: Autumnal equi-detox
Yesterday was the first day of autumn, and it really doesn’t surprise me. Because even though Saturday’s game played out under sunny skies, the DW surface betrayed the true time of year. Minds were cast back to Septembers past, with pitches soggier than a slice of toast covered in a particularly runny bean sauce and […]

Wigan 2-1 Fleetwood: Job’s a gudgeon
When I heard Latics were playing Fleetwood Town this weekend, I thought, “my cod! What a brilliant op-perch–tuna-ty to embellish my whiting with some crappie puns”. Fleetwood is famously the fish and chip capital of the north, and since David ‘Frites Haute Cuisine’ Sharpe has a much-publicised soft spot for upmarket fried pollack, I thought […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 135: Type ‘casting
I’ve got some great news for you – Latics currently lie second in the most important league of all, the League One Top Rated Pie Championship! I suggest we drop this footballing nonsense and switch our entire production line to the good ol’ meat an’ tater in a bid for the prestigious Holland’s Pie Cup. […]

Port Vale 3-2 Wigan: Welcome to the jungle
Interpretation can be a simultaneously dangerous and wonderful thing. It is much like a front tooth in that most people have one, and no two gnashers are in the same state of decay. And that’s the sort of thing we love… the challenge of analysing a press conference banner, that is. The actual ‘Laws of […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 134: New term Blues
Yesterday was class photo day for Form Group DW at Latics Comprehensive. If this particular school is like every other, we can safely assume that the shoot overran by seven hours, causing all curricular activities to be postponed. As happens every year, a group of delinquents set off the canteen fire alarm and blamed it […]

Chesterfield 2-3 Wigan: Cleanout
Electricians and plumbers the length and breadth of Wigan Borough can finally rest easy, for Latics’ overworked transfer window washing machine has now been shoved to the back of the garage for a well-earned rest. In the past few months, 24 pairs of blue and white socks have been fed into its welcoming mouth only […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 133: Transfer Windows 3.0
If you hold on for just a minute, we’ll tell you all about Wigan Athletic’s transfer deadline day activity… I’m waiting for the clock to tick past 6pm. You just know those pesky rival podcasts are readying a swoop for Progress With Unity’s talented youngsters before the football blogging transfer window ends, so we’re going […]
