Wigan v Queens Park Rangers match preview with Ed Jones [PWU Podcast]
Ahh, remember this game? It was supposed to be played aeons ago, but due to broadcast delay, only reaches our screens this evening. Except it isn’t being shown on television but in real life at the (re-rebranded) DW Stadium. Aw, they don’t show replays in the real world! Heh, much like Sky Sports’ coverage of […]

View From The North Stand: Peter Bell of AFC Bournemouth’s Cherry Chimes
Seven short months ago, a whole division separated Wigan and Bournemouth when they drew swords for an FA Cup tie spread over two matches. On the pitch, however, the teams were far more evenly matched than their respective statuses might have suggested. The then-League One side, in the midsts of an unbelievable run of league […]

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 […]

Ladies and gentlemen, it is within sight. In less than two days’ time, Wigan Athletic will be playing their part in English football’s greatest sideshow, the FA Challenge Cup Final.

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 43: Sea you on the other side (of the relegation zone?)
I don’t normally apologise for my post title puns but in this case I shall make an exception, because that one was bad enough to make you choke on your early evening prawn sandwiches. Much like the first goal on Saturday, then. As you might expect from a weekly Latics podcast, the Tottenham game is […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 42: Indecisiveness prohibited
The seeds of apprehension planted last week are beginning to sprout into saplings of nervousness. After such a devastating weekend, can you blame us? But spirits are relatively high considering Wigan’s current situation – maybe it’s gallows humour, or the knowledge that we could be just a few minutes from glorious, glorious Wigan time at […]

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 […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 40: The Big (Pre-)Wembley Bash
Here it is, arguably the greatest week in the history of Wigan Athletic football club. At stake: a place in the FA Cup Final and potentially Europe, plus all the meat and potato pies you can stomach! Alright, I fabricated one of those prizes in the name of ‘comedy’, but you have to admit the […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 38: The April Fools
With no Latics game to discuss/moan about, the Progress With Unity team are in buoyant, upbeat mood ahead of another ‘big game’ of cliché proportions. Savour the atmosphere, for I doubt you will hear jokes as good as this until Wigan are mathematically safe and/or in possession the FA Cup. And I’m not entirely sure […]

Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast No. 36: Cup fever
Spring is in the air, and it can only mean one thing – Wigan Time! The Progress With Unity team are jubilant following an outstanding weekend in Liverpool, and struggle to wipe broad smiles from their faces as they discuss those five magnificent minutes that demolished Everton. Any nerves ahead of the latest in a […]
