Progress With Unity Podcast #205: Barnsley and Brighton reviews, Cardiff preview

It's that time of the year, dear flavour text reader. From this point onwards, Wigan Athletic could descend into that pit of rabid social media keyboard warriors at a moment's notice. A mere victim of circumstance, the unfortunate Jakob Haugaard has already been tossed in there with his peanut butter gloves and shredded contract cash.

This is almost like commentating on the fireball that's about to strike earth. "And here it comes, the final blow to all humanity, just as the Mayans predicted all those years ago. To everyone listening, I'd like to say... screw you, you ungrateful swines! You never leave any comments on my Facebook posts or..."

*KABOOOOOM!*

Progress With Unity Podcast #204: Rotherham review, Barnsley and Brighton previews

Aww, isn't it May yet? This season ought to have ended a whole month ago - not sure I can bear another four weeks of increasingly dubious defensive screw-ups. King Joyce's brickhouse backlines (pictured) might have been excessive, but at least they worked... sort of.

Mind you, with goals like these, who needs defenders? Now, if only these Powell, Gilbey and Obertan chaps played for Wigan...

Progress With Unity Podcast #181: Brighton review, Caldwell GONE!

At the club many years, witnessing many managers pass through those certainly-not-for-the-stout Deedub turnstiles. Covered many kilometres across the Robin Park surface, which has been replaced over twelveteen times in that period.

Who'd have thought that Phoenix and Blue would be sacked, eh?

Well, I haven't seen them lately, but then I have been arriving at my seat five minutes late due to being too fat for the turnstiles.

What's that? Oh yeah, this podcast is actually about the axing of unpopular video sharing website Vine. Or something.

Also: apologies to All Gone Latics for stealing their exclusive on P 'n' B.

Progress With Unity Podcast #180: Burton and Leeds reviews, Brighton preview

Adam le Fondre winning Man of the Match instead of Dan Burn? There's a conspiracy theory for that.

Of course there bally well is - there's a conspiracy theory for absolutely anything you could care to mention. Dan Burn's sudden upturn in form? That's due the extra sprouts in his diet, of course. How else could he have cleared that 40-yard strike from his goal line but with fart power?

And what happened to that long-awaited statue of Dave Whelan? Well... because it was made out of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, a group of passing chocoholics kidnapped it from outside the West Stand.

Send me tinfoil to make a new hat and I'll reveal even more next week... *hic*

Progress With Unity Podcast #125: Brighton review, Wolves preview

You know that phrase, 'you're only as good as your last game'? Well, the PWU Podcast likes to take that in the most literal sense, booking the morgue when we've lost as opposed to ordering funfair tickets when we've won. And this week is no exception - even when staring relegation in its ugly, pimple-infested face, a first home win in eight months can make you invincible.

You're in for the ride now, dude... there *is* no turning back.

Progress With Unity Podcast #124: Fulham and Millwall reviews, Brighton preview

Who will win the relegation... well, you know? (c)Bill Nicholls

Well, Cald might have conquered the Kop, but the New Den proved a lot harder. With two red cards from two games, one might even dub him... Cardwell. What, you say the press beat me to it? Curses!

Mercifully, we're coming to the end of this season, and there's a certain amount of relief in the Book Cycle studios. Just think - in three short weeks you'll be toasting Dave Whelan at his celebratory dinner and you can forget all about Rosler, Coyle and their co-conspirators that 'got us into this fine mess'.

So cheer up, eh? One day they'll write a book about all this and you'll read it with a glow in your heart.

Progress With Unity Podcast #104: Fulham and Brighton reviews, Bolton preview

Aha, so *that's* where Albert Crusat went... (c) Paddy Patterson

It's only taken us 104 episodes, but Progress With Unity have finally coaxed an away supporter into the cauldron that is Studio PWU! Boltonian Stu is joined by Wiganer Adam and the regular panellists to discuss Owen Coyle, Coyle, Krispy Coyle and Owen... and you'll be very pleased to hear it is not the Michael variety.

Get ready for fireworks! Quite literally, since we couldn't get them to stop letting them off while we were recording. Oh well, at least you'll have something other than us to listen to when the conversation inevitably drifts towards matters non-football. Not that we ever let that happen, oooh nooo.

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Adam, Rob, Mick, Dan and Stu

Progress With Unity Podcast #103: Derby review, Fulham and Brighton previews

PWU: good old fashioned family entertainment

Those anger management classes have done wonders for the PWU panellists. Turns out only a spell locked in a dark room with the 2013 FA Cup DVD could quell the rage committed to tape seven days ago... well, that and a healthy three point medicinal dose. I promise we've all calmed down now, so it's safe to listen in public again. But listener discretion is still advised, because I can't guarantee this edition will be completely free of Incredible Hulk moments!

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Pete, Rob and Dan

Progress With Unity Podcast #77: Brighton review, Nottingham Forest preview

Don't be scared! That weird warbling noise is just the Progress With Unity Podcast team recording their weekly chat about bad refs with added cheesy Owen Coyle jokes. Thankfully there aren't many of the latter this week so listen in confidence... but watch out for the jump scares!

(Not really, we wouldn't subject you to such horrors.)

This week's phantom flan flingers: Barry, Gareth, Rob and Dan

Progress With Unity Podcast #76: Cardiff and Barnsley reviews, Brighton preview

Have Latics really played 43 matches this season? We might not be able to sell the television advertising space of a Premier League club, but at least we get to see more football, which, after all, is what being a fan is all about.

(Stares at Premier League table longingly.)

This edition is something of a covert Coyle post-Valentine's love-in, so the hardcore Roslerites may want to cover their ears.

In Studio PWU this week: Barry, Gareth, Paul T, Dan and Mick

Progress With Unity Podcast #65: Brighton review, Derby & Zulte previews

December's almost here, and you know what that means - more games for PWU to moan about! How exciting.

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #64: International roundup, Brighton preview

With a whopping eight participants, the PWU podcast is not short of banter in a supposedly 'fallow' period of Latics action. You see, there are international appearances to mull over and loan transfers to preview as well as the usual stuff including StatMan and RefWatch. And don't forget the forthcoming Brighton game!

In Studio PWU this week: Barry, Greg, Gareth, Rob, Jack, Mick, Paul T and Dan
