Millwall 0 Wigan 0: Alternative match highlights
This week coming to you from the Beamback Enterprise AKA the South Stand lounge. A superb strike by the back of some guy’s head… or at least, that’s the way it looked from where I was stood. Why do the tallest guys always sit right at the front? Jussi Jaaskelainen passing a goal kick into […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 158: Quantum Leap
We would like to wish goalkeeping coach Mike Pollitt a very Happy 11th Birthday for 29th February. Since such occasions only arrive every four years, it is an event to be celebrated… with a thumping 3-0 victory over the Farnworth Flyer’s former side. Oh, didn’t you know? Polly was benchwarmer for the Saddlers at the […]

Millwall 0-0 Wigan: Motoring into Mid-Table March
Melicitations, merry mentlegen! It’s Mid-Table March here at Meshuga Mel’s League One Discount Motors, and do we have the delightfully demented deals for you. [Theme from mid-90s UK TV game show ‘Trivial Pursuit with Tony Slattery’ begins to play.] Can I interest you in this sturdy 1985 Nissan Peterborough? Ah, maybe this weekend, you say? […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 157: Don’t look up
We shouldn’t really talk about the FA Cup, seeing as Wigan are no longer part of this year’s competition. But I can’t resist – the nostalgic lure of summer 2013 looms large in my nostrils like the fragrant aroma of fresh pigeon droppings. Hey, it reminds me of Haigh Hall, okay? Observers of Man City’s […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 137: You gotta know when to Oldham
Crikey! We’re barely into October and the Jose Mourinho squad rotation is already creeping into Captain Cald’s team sheet composition. I like to think he sits in front of his Brother typewriter and painstakingly constructs them with one finger, letter by letter… because that’s certainly what I would do. In fact it formed the central […]

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 […]

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 […]

Millwall 2-0 Wigan: Bong fu fighting
Well, wasn’t that a great gesture? The kindly powers that be have provided a very special plaque for those individuals braver than I, the ones that travelled precisely 217 miles to watch Latics los- I mean, er, to watch Wigan play on a work day. Back in Darkest Lancastria, many more collected at the DW […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 102: Wigan’s turning (the air) blue
Before you boot up this week’s edition of the Progress With Unity Podcast, I must warn you to perform a 25-point check of your home/place of work/the bus you are travelling on right now. Ensure all windows and doors are firmly closed and that no fragile glassware or small animals are in earshot, because regardless […]

Wigan 0-0 Millwall: Virtual inanity
It isn’t often I get to see a game that doesn’t feature Wigan Athletic these days, but on Sunday afternoon I made a point of watching the Stoke-Swansea Premier League match. It *did* mean forfeiting lunch due to my habit of spraying my TV screen with half-chewed mashed potato when the ref gives a dodgy […]
