Progress With Unity Podcast #206: Cardiff review, Reading preview

Don't believe all you read on unsanitary small time Internet weblogs - Blackburn and Bristol certainly aren't about to be deducted 10 points each for irregularities involving the illegal acquisition of mint flavour Penguin biscuits. Such stories are sent from alternate universes where Gaz Caldwell and Boycey didn't lift the FA Cup in 2013.

...Yeah, in that reality, Angelo Henriquez jumped in front to snatch it from their grasp before running 200 miles back to Old Trafford... on foot. Some say the trophy is still hidden under a Manchester bridge where Angie 'put it for safe keeping' and forgot to collect it the next morning.

But that's also a reality in which Latics are still sitting mid-table in the Premier League. So which universe is it gonna be? Choose now!

This week's surprise special guest: Paul Kendrick from the Wigan Post!

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 #117: Charlton and Cardiff reviews, Blackpool and Norwich previews

It's actually going upwards, but they cropped the pic incorrectly. (Courtesy NASA)

I don't like this month's pre-occupation with a certain unlucky number. We just had Friday 13th and there are 13 league games to save Wigan's Championship season. I ate thirteen Holland's pies at last night's game and have taken precisely 13 trips to the bathroom since 1300 hours.

On the other hand, thirteen is my father's lucky number, and he's also a Wigan Athletic supporter. On that basis, I reckon we can expect 13 wins between now and 13 May 2015. Hey, this Championship stuff is easy, isn't it?

Progress With Unity Podcast #116: Reading review, Charlton & Cardiff previews

Welcome back from the PWU-designated February holidays! I hope you had a Happy Friday 13th and not a single bloke in a ski mask slashed you across the chest with a large blade.

If anything, this has been a fortuitous time for lucky Latics, who finally managed to scrape three points from a one-pointer for the first time since last year. I know that's only two months ago, but eight weeks is a long time to be skulking around Kenny Loggins' relegation zone.

Where's Wally-style task for this week's show: spot the negativity and win 13 smashed mirrors delivered to your door by black cats.

Progress With Unity Podcast #93: Charlton and Cardiff review, Blackpool preview

Sometimes you just have to let off some steam, something inside you that's been building up for hours. Ever since you had that curry for tea, in fact. OK, I apologise for being so infantile, but after a hard week watching Latics, nothing beats going to work on a Saturday... wait, did I get those the wrong way round? Probably not.

Hit the play button on that mp3 widget and scream along with us, why doncha?

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #92: Reading and Burton Albion reviews, Charlton and Cardiff previews

May these bananas represent Wigan's thus yet unripe team.

You join us smack bang in the middle of a Latics partybus tour! From Burton, we now head on down to London then Cardiff on our summer tour of the country, so care to join us? We're aiming to test out the pies of each and every motorway burger stand en route... and there's some football in there as well, I think. I dunno, the Progress With Unity team usually deal with that sort of thing - I'm just the (poor) copywriter.

In the studio this week: 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 #75: Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday reviews, Cardiff and Barnsley previews

Ready your provisions! There's a lot to rifle through this week - two match reviews, two previews and exclusive interviews... all on the day of the Uwe Rosler/Jonathan Jackson fansites' forum! It's probably a good idea for me to stop wafflin' so you can get listenin'.

Oh yeah, and the full Rosler chat is coming soon. Keep thine eyes, ears and bananas peeled.

In the studio this week: Dan, Mick, Rob, Gareth and Paul
On location at Christopher Park: Barry and Greg
