PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 101: Car crash radio
Pay no attention to that suspicious bulge that makes the PWU rug look a bit like Santa’s ever-growing pre-Xmas sack. It certainly is *not* the plans for an open forum we attempted to sweep from public view… that discarded paperwork is simply a year’s worth of travel receipts to Beech Hill Book Cycle. But next […]

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 […]

Wigan 0-1 Millwall: Hearts at home, minds elsewhere
At times like this I wonder whether the Football League fixtures really are computer generated, or if they pay a little man to sit at his desk with an unsharpened HB and Filofax. Do they lock him in his office without breakfast or an emergency supply of Ovaltine, forcing him to quickly scribble down roughly […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 82: Pre-Pre-Wembley Edition
I awoke this morning with thoughts of Wembley running through my addled mind, visions of McManaman wheeling away to scenes of great jubilation in the top tier. But with a couple of monster Championship encounters first up, there’s no time for the bittersweet symptoms of cup fever quite yet! Since two home games precede the […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 67: Radio Ca-Ca
Progress With Unity toasts its second new manager in the usual fashion – with a pint in the Springfield. Yep, after last week’s torrent of criticism aimed in the general direction of that bloke we’ve already forgotten about, the team have been unceremoniously banned from their usual Book Cycle studios! Don’t worry, much like… [insert […]

Millwall 2-1 Wigan: Crumbs of discomfort
So the Coyle experiment is over, but at what cost? Forget that horrendous run of results, it’s the veritable pigeon’s banquet of Krispy Kreme doughnut crumbs spread across the DW upholstery like a light sprinkling of snow we should worry about. Very seasonal, but a pain to remove without a whole DIY store of jet […]

PWU Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 66: Shortsman’s Last Stand
Question: What does it take for Progress With Unity‘s latent anti-Coyle sentiment to emerge? Answer: Three straight losses and an instant sacking. Never has so much vitriol been directed at an individual since the Head of Pies on the DW concourse decided to replace their Poole’s stock with Holland’s. Blasphemy! Apparently we never wanted him, […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 41: On the Road Omnibus
A surprisingly subdued edition considering the events of this past weekend. Perhaps Wednesday evening’s result put a dampener on proceedings, or maybe it’s the FA’s questionable decision to ruthlessly push the cup final kick-off time back to 5:15pm? Nah, the real reason is the fact our sadly neglected open top bus has unfortunately rusted in […]

Millwall 0-2 Wigan: Is this the real life?
To relieve some pre-Wembley tension, I took a walk round Wigan town centre on Friday lunchtime. Far from taking my mind off the game, the scarf sellers bellowing ‘get yer Latics flags ‘ere!’ from every street corner only served to remind me how dear the Wigan public hold a Wembley away day to their hearts.
