Progress With Unity Podcast #171: Blackburn and Birmingham reviews, Forest preview

In any game of football, there are three possible outcomes: home win, away win, draw. In mathematical terms, this gives you a 1/3 chance of winning.

But mathematics is, of course, nonsense. If it were so reliable, we wouldn't need a stat man to correct its mistakes.

Cue Fantasy Football style chants of 'Statman! Statman!' from the gallery

However, the troublesome law of averages seems to have applied itself to Latics' first three games of the season, which have included one win, one loss and one draw.

As tribute, we now present a special edition of PWU Win, Lose or Draw! And heeeere's your host - Barry Slattery...

Progress With Unity Podcast #87: Blackburn review, QPR playoffs preview

(c)Keitei at Wikipedia

Please welcome a brand new addition to the Progress With Unity Podcast team, one Ali 'Ballet' Al Habsi. You may well have heard of him - he's the guy that escorts chickens from Ewood Parks in his spare time. He's also going to be keeping two clean sheets on Friday and Monday... we hope.

Right, I think it's time to dive shoulders-deep into the mud, don't you?

In the studio this week: Barry, Gareth, Rob, Dan, Mick and Paul T (and Ali Al H)

Progress With Unity Podcast #86: Blackpool and Birmingham reviews, Blackburn and playoff previews

No, wrong type of playoff, fool! (c)2O at Wikipedia

Ladies and gentlemen, we did it. Now let's go out and do it again... three times! Wigan Athletic's near faultless FA Cup record stands us in good stead for this, our first playoff venture in over a decade. We've almost forgotten what it's like... spoiled, we are. Kids today, eh?

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #82: Bolton and Leicester reviews, Leeds and Millwall previews

Just like Dave Whelan recently took control of Chonkin' Feckle for an early Cup Semi Final tune, Dan takes the reins for the Pre-Pre-Wembley Edition. Hey, you can't accuse us of being league-centric! Or perhaps you can, as we don't really talk *that* much about the Arsenal game. Just roll the tape, John...

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #80: Ipswich and Yeovil reviews, Watford and QPR previews

Uh oh, is that the Latics emergency ambulance approaching? I wonder who's on the club doctor's ever-growing waiting list this week - perhaps one of the many supporters wounded by wayward shots? Perhaps Uwe hurt his foot kicking the changing room wall after a last-minute goal from Yeovil robbed Latics of a ninth straight victory? And will I ever end a sentence without a question mark? Answer: nope.

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #79: Man City and Sheff Wed reviews, Ipswich preview

In the immortal words of The Legend Matt McCann, there just ain't no stoppin' Wigan Athletic! These Progress With Unity podcasts are incredibly easy when everything you touch turns to that cream from Maryland Gooeys, the only thing that might be described as better than watching Wigan at this point in time.

Time to start writing that Cup Final song, methinks... hey, wait a minute! What does Neil Warnock have to do with this post? Ah well, I thought it was quite funny, so yeah.

In the Springfield this week: Dan, Gareth, Helena, Paul T and Mick

Progress With Unity Podcast #74: Charlton review, Huddersfield and Sheffield Wednesday previews

Tch, flipping typical. As the Progress With Unity 'casters emerged from the team coach to record this latest edition, irate passers-by cast rotten fruit in their general direction. See, Dan, this is what happens when you correctly predict a scoreline! Oh dear, the streams have been crossed...

If you aren't a fan of semi-obscure references, let's just say you probably won't want another hot dog after listening to this episode. At the very least, be sure to finish your tea first.

In the studio this week: Barry, Gareth, Dan, Kathryn, Greg, Mick and Rob

Progress With Unity Podcast #69: Birmingham, Burnley and Derby review, MK Dons preview

January already? Uh oh, the season starts here so it's time for the Progress With Unity team to take it all seriously again. Hahah, fat chance o' that! Welcome to a whole new year of irrelevance and irreverence with the PWU Podcast, still the most popular Wigan Athletic fan podcast on the web.

(Well, it's the only Latics fan podcast but don't tell anyone!)

Around the table this week: Barry, Greg, Gareth, Paul T and Dan

Progress With Unity Podcast #41: Cup Semi-Final & Man City review, West Ham preview

Wembley was great fun, but there is unfinished business in the league. The Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast team cast a critical eye over the Man City game before performing intricate tactical of analysis of this weekend's opponents West Ham.

Chatting this week: Barry, Dan, Gareth, Paul T, Rob and Greg
