Brighton 2 Wigan 1: Hau My Gaard
Happy Poundsavah Chocolate Egg Day, dear reader! As all good parents know, this is the day you can start buying your egg-shaped confectioneries as they’re heavily reduced in price following Easter Sunday. In honour of this fact, here’s a sugary teaser: if no country or individual can legally lay claim to any part of outer […]

Wigan 0 Brighton 1: Gullverised
In he strides, brazen as a drunken nudist with a flashy new haircut. He carefully selects a single packet of rust flavoured corn snacks from the shelf before spinning on the spot and winging his way to safety within seconds, ill gotten gains secured for another day. This is the life of Gary the Gull, […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 125: Don’t leave me hanging
To continue the theme established in last week’s podcast (to the tune of Johnny Cash’s 25 Minutes to Go), Latics’ death sentence has been halted… for now. The executioner has been momentarily distracted by a lone voice from the crowd – in this instance, the Football League and their ten-volume rulebook. But those cheeky scamps […]

Wigan 2-1 Brighton: Chowing down on Colonel Cald’s secret sauce
Thumbing through my inbox this week, I was delighted to discover a ‘personal email from Gary Caldwell’… correspondence from Superman himself! Sadly I only got a brief glimpse before accidentally deleting it along with fake tax rebates and false promises from Ugandan princes, so I couldn’t tell you if it was indeed written by Gary, […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 124: Feeling better yet?
Every now and then, we are reminded that football is part of the wider entertainment industry. For all the Bong fu going on at Tuesday night’s game, the man most seriously injured by the Battle of The New Den was Shaun Williams, who stubbed his toe on an advertising hoarding. Aha, those kids at school […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 104: T’B of T’Bang
Nope, I ain’t gonna do it again. Just because Friday’s T’Classico is LIVE on BeeSkyBee’s frivolous Friday Night Football, I won’t stoop so low as to cart out the big Americanisation stereotypes, mainly because I reached the end of my US Commentator’s Idiom Dictionary shortly after Halloween. And please don’t ask me to start at […]

Brighton 1-0 Wigan: Beam me back (to 2006), Scotty
It’s only on a bitterly cold south coast Tuesday evening you realise that winter has truly struck. Not that I was anywhere other than Wigan tonight, but if the Falmer Stadium is anything like my house I’m sure they’d have been cursing the lack of cavity wall insulation. Apparently mud huts aren’t eligible for British […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 77: Don’t cross the streams
The Fab Four of John (AKA Barry), Paul (Rob), George (Gareth) and Ringo (Dan) present a ghost bustin’ edition of the RefWatchCast. In tribute to Egon Spengler, who sadly passed away this week, the [Beep]les break out their Proton packs to engage in an extended spectre sucking session. But don’t worry, we’re not going to […]

Brighton 1-2 Wigan: Lies, fruit flies and Ceefax statistics
Oh, I just noticed there was no Wigan game on Tuesday. A good job, because I don’t fancy learning the result from a poorly constructed tweet again – it’s like Ceefax but with more errors and a distinct lack of colour clash. You know, that makes this afternoon’s showdown on the south coast our last […]
