Progress With Unity Podcast #199: Blackburn and Birmingham reviews, Bristol City preview

When searching for M People's proverbial hero, you were looking at Omar Bogle, weren't you? Or maybe Gabriel Obertan, perhaps even Mickey Jacobs or Bilbo Grigg.

But Danny Burn? Nah, nobody expected him. The man everyone hated until the real scapegoats made themselves known. The man whose "feet can't keep up with his knees". The man with the Marty McFly haircut (above).

So for once, I'm going to say it without fear of my flavour text writing career being destroyed: I am a Dan Burn fan and proud of it. It is up to you, society, to deal with that.

Progress With Unity Podcast #198: Forest review, Blackburn & Birmingham previews

The DW Stadium pigeon UFO conspiracy lives!

Before we continue, it should be noted that this week's edition of the Progress With Unity Podcast was supposed to be recorded LIVE at the Joyce Fans Forum. Unfortunately this event did not go ahead as aliens landed in the DW centre circle, kidnapping Sharpy and 75% of the Wigan Athletic backroom staff. Then, a repeat of the 2013 FA Cup Final magically appeared on the South Stand bar projection telly and everyone forgot all about the forum, aliens and indeed where they parked.

...Nah, not really! I *knew* my Mini Cooper was on Robin Park because I wrote its location on the palm of my hand.

Despite this cancellation, Book Cycle Studios thankfully kept Wednesday night free in case of UFO invasions. Thank goodness for that, eh?

Progress With Unity Podcast #97: Blackburn and Huddersfield reviews, Ipswich preview

That can't be McManaman because he's shooting! (Badum tish)

With all this talk of missed penalties, you might think this is a podcast about the England national team. But stuff international matches, because the aftermath is invariably disastrous for Wigan Athletic, regardless of who was or wasn't on last week's plane/bus/trike to Interglobia!

Never mind, for the multimedia televisual extravaganza that is Monday Night Football beckons. I would enjoy the game on telly, but, er, they won't let me take my CRT TV through the DW turnstiles.

Progress With Unity Podcast #59: International break review, Blackpool preview

The bright lights of the big ci- erm, town beckon for Wigan Athletic and her followers. The majestic northern seaside resort of Blackpool conjures nostalgic memories of donkeys and rollercoaster rides... and that's just the football. Heh, see what I did there? I hope you did otherwise I'm not doing my job correctly. Just fuhgeddit and listen to this week's 'cast...

Progress With Unity Podcast #58: Maribor and Blackburn reviews

It isn't often Latics win two games in a row, so savour this edition! I only wish they sold such things in jars, though admittedly the debate wouldn't be half as good if you're winning every game. Here's to many more... losses, I suppose.

Progress With Unity Podcast #57: Watford review, Maribor and Blackburn previews

A world record nine participants are in Beech Hill Book Cycle to preview another historic match in the history of Wigan Athletic FC. Talk of fluctuating results is quickly brushed aside as the prospect of two big home games looms large. Can't wait.
