Progress With Unity Podcast #193: Brentford review, Man United preview

Mummy, take them away! Why do the wide eyed men with cameras follow everything vaguely associated with the words 'Manchester' and 'United'? And while we're at it, why did they ban bad language at farting Salford Media City?

Those loud-mouthed and bushy-eyebrowed Wigan Athletic podcast men can stay as long as they promise never to film their episodes, or indeed utter the words 'screwed' or 'blast'. They should use more gentlemanly language!

Are the cameras gone? Good, now my boss won't know I'm bunking off work to write this flavour text.

Progress With Unity Podcast #192: Burton review, Brentford preview

Two wins? Blinking heck, maybe Joycey is our king after all. Something incredible is definitely transpiring - Morsy the Sweatband Ranger and Callum 'The Mac' Connolly recently arrived in Lankisher with pixie dust on their toes and halos on their heads.

"But Mr Flavour Text Writer, Latics just faced the only two Championship teams in worse form at this point in the season."

Shurrup and write 'believe, and not just because that banner above the Grand Arcade told me to' on that blackboard precisely 88 times. Then iron my shorts.

Progress With Unity Podcast #178: Brentford review

Note: This week's flavour text has been postponed as the regular author is currently under investigation for 'irregularities' involving placement of Penguin biscuits within the PWU fridge. Because he didn't notice the hidden camcorder, he was caught switching mint flavour Penguins with the inferior orange and regular flavours after the other panellists had gone home.

In his absence, the following timecodes have been provided by Google Timecode, a new piece of technology that scans over 17 and a half sources of data including average number of spammers per blog post to provide 100% 50% accurate descriptions.

Progress With Unity Podcast #177: Preston and Wolves reviews, Brentford preview

"Wow, Preston's only just finished and the Brentford game is mere minutes away from kickoff! This Championship thing is passing us by far too quickly for my liking.


"In fact I'll have you know I was born on 1 July and will be drawing my pension in two months' time. Life's all too short when you're a fruit fly like me, eh?"

*Is flattened by extra large fly swat

Can't turn back that clock, Marty. Onwards and Beewards...

Progress With Unity Podcast #127: Brentford review, Emmerson Boyce tribute

You know that thing where podcasts traditionally look back upon the season, taking in the highs and lows (or, in our case, the lows and lows) of a campaign past? Well, this might be the last podcast of the 2014/15 season, but there's none of that here. Wouldn't it be much more appropriate to celebrate a Wigan Athletic legend with a... surprise party? Oh, yew betcha pardner!

Status of potential PWU summer special: uncertain. Status of Emmerson Boyce: inebriated (possibly).

Have a very Merry Summermas!

Progress With Unity Podcast #126: Wolves review, Brentford preview

Hmm, what's that great, grey beast with tusks blocking the exit? Hey, does this mean we don't have to leave, and we can stay in the Championship? Wow, this post-FA Cup dream does have a happy ending after all!

Wait, you're saying that was a dream too? Talk about a nightmare within a nightmare... and I still have to shift that blasted elephant in my room. Ah well, where's that XXXXL Pooper Scooper...?

Progress With Unity Podcast #102: Brentford and Millwall super-review, Derby preview

Live in-vision editing at Studio PWU.

If you only listen to one episode of the PWU Podcast this season, make it this one, because any semblance of self-control has been cast away on a rather blue breeze. Rosler supporters might want to cover their ears for the next sixty minutes, because that cutting criticism locked in a cage following Mr Coyle's departure has been unleashed in a tirade of angry four-letter outbursts.

With that in mind, dare you last the full hour? Go on, do it...

Around the table this week: Barry, Dan, Mick, Paul T, Rob and Gareth.

Progress With Unity Podcast #101: Internationals review, Brentford and Millwall previews

"Who dug those trenches in the road? I'm gonna ring the council about this..."

PWU spoils you, it really does. First we granted you a week off for the internationals, and now we present a full hour-long show even in the absence of any domestic football to speak of! As usual, there are 101 somewhat relevant topics (ohh, see what I did there?) to discuss courtesy the general public. Speaking of which, erm, best to move on quickly...

Around the table this week: Barry, Rob, Greg, Paul T and Mick
