PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 84: More Pointless discussion
To make a Wembley sandwich, you most certainly require a delicious filling. Once you’ve developed a taste for the place you immediately crave more, and Easter Weekend provides an early chance to pilfer some Wembley-flavoured butty paste from the (portable) fridges of Reading and Burnley. Or, failing that, a couple of egg-ceptional chocolate treats at […]

Wigan 1-1 Arsenal AET (2-4 on pens): Reality check?
“You see that FA Cup and you want to get hold of it, you want to kiss it. There’s something about it that’s magical.” — Dave Whelan on the little tin drinking vessel. There’s little doubting just how much yesterday’s game meant to Wigan Athletic fan, player and chairman alike. The bodies that took to […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 83: A home from home
Considering what’s to come on Saturday, it’s surprising that the Progress With Unity Podcast team are heavily cheesed off. Or maybe it isn’t, seeing as Tuesday night’s excuse for entertainment will most likely take until Saturday morning to erase from the memory. See, the infamous Mr Spink Before You Theek strikes again! But we aren’t […]

Wembley Week Special: Pages From JWAW Text
That grandiose title might suggest a juicy week of freshly-squeezed opinion pieces here at JWAW, but don’t hold your breath – you can bet I’ll have exhausted my supply of Wembley-related quips by tomorrow lunchtime. Quick, Dave, pull up a bunch from last year so we can shamelessly rehash them! You may have noticed a […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 45: Pleasure/Pain
Good evening, podcasters! I hope you aren’t in too foul a mood following the events of Tuesday evening, and have enough energy to enjoy this week’s Progress With Unity. The FA Cup win is no doubt a sweetener, and the thing you will remember until the day you die. Once I recover from the disappointment […]

Arsenal 4-1 Wigan: From adulation to rele… er, the R-word
Not to be a party pooper, but I feel I must interject at this point. Remember a time long ago when we all cared about the league? Nah, me neither. I don’t think I quite emphasised the importance of the Swansea game to Wigan’s Premier League survival. Hey, we all had other things on our […]

Progress With Unity Latics Podcast No. 24: When is a penalty not a penalty?
Decimated by man flu and fallout from (admittedly muted) Boxing Day celebrations, the Progress With Unity team crawl wearily back to the studio, aspirin in hand, for a bit of post-Xmas musing. Excuse the occasionally clipped, slurred speech as we frequently had to be revived with piping hot tea and whisky just to make it […]

Wigan 0-1 Arsenal: …and I feel fine(ish)
In anticipation of the impending apocalypse, I gave away all my worldly possessions –yes, my clothes, my boots and my motorcycle– and went to sit on a large hill to watch the fireball barbecue us all. The Daily Mail, who published the above picture obtained from robots from the future, promised it would be more […]

Progress With Unity Latics Podcast No. 22: End of the World edition
As the predicted end of all human civilisation –henceforth to be known as ‘The Massacre of the DW‘– rapidly approaches, the Progress With Unity team reconvene to scrutinise another slightly disappointing weekend over a Christmas whisky or two. Spirits are quickly raised, however, by breaking news that the Boxing Day bananas will be allowed entry […]

Arsenal 1-2 Wigan: Labile Latics kings of the counter
Latics may still have been savouring the sweet scent of victory over the Champions elect, but they headed into this game with on-song Arsenal full in the knowledge their survival race was far from over. With other relegation-threatened teams having failed to make much ground on Saturday, however, this was essentially a ‘free hit’ – […]
