Progress With Unity Podcast #113: Blackburn review, Huddersfield preview

The Big Draw. (c)Bundesarchiv

Question for you all: when were you this happy with a draw? Was it when King Edgar Davids pulled that magical ball from the velvety bag of wondrousness? When you won a tenner on the Lotto last Saturday? When you, er, drew the curtains to block out the glaring sun?

Those Progress With Unity blokes, by contrast, are never happy. Only when someone brings us free cake and biscuits do we crack smiles through mouths crammed with cream. Which is not that often, hence the return to Charlie Brooker mode of late.

But you'll be pleased to hear that this week's edition is the most positive so far this year. A juicy Championship point does tend to have that effect on you, I find!

Progress With Unity Podcast #109: Norwich review, Watford preview

This pic was requested by the PWU crew. Merry Christmas!

The panellists are restless - some more so than others. My bottom, for one, spent the best part of 62 long recording minutes (including the naughty bits that were cut out) shifting around in its chair. Like Latics, it struggles to find a comfortable position, and I think it might be after Christmas before it settles on a long-term resting place.

Wait, did I really just compare Wigan Athletic to my backside? Jim Royle, eat your heart out.

Progress With Unity Podcast #105: Bolton review

Rosler the Goat is about to embark on a wild ride.

Mr Whelan has spoken: Rosler shall survive the international break... probably. But will it be lonely this Christmas, without Uwe to hold responsible? Potential scapegoats must file their applications right now, for it will take PWU at least a month to negotiate the forest of admin - who will be the source of seasonal jokes on those there small time weblogs? Listen now and know.

Progress With Unity Podcast #56: Zulte Waregem, Ipswich and Man City reviews; Watford preview

An extremely busy week for the Progress With Unity Podcast regulars has seen them clock up a combined total of almost four miles. I'm not sure what happened to the other 500 or so, probably still riding around aimlessly on one of those 2 Euro Bruges buses.

Back in the croissant-less U.S. of K, Wigan's equally arduous trip to Robin Park was sweetened by an unexpected 2-0 victory. We shall gloss over the performance, and indeed the glorified friendly at the COMS on Tuesday evening in favour of an in-depth look at this weekend's contest with Watford.

In Beech Hill Book Cycle this week: Barry, Rob, Gareth, Dan, Paul K, Greg, Paul T and Mick.

Progress With Unity Podcast #50: Man United review, Bournemouth and Doncaster preview

Hmm, did something happen at the weekend? Oh right, there was some friendly or other at Wembley. I forgot because by and large Wigan forgot to bring along their game with the Thermos and four pack of cucumber sandwiches.

But the Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast team aren't here to dwell on past inglories. Two tough Championship games in the form of Bournemouth and Doncaster beckon, so this certainly is no time to start sulking. To the bananamobile!

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #49: Barnsley review, Man United preview

Last week Barnsley, this week Wembley stadium... again. Is it all just a dream from which we have yet to wake up? Probably, but let's enjoy it while it lasts. Sunday presents a perfect opportunity to do the Wembley double over Manchester, so bring it on!
