Progress With Unity Podcast #158: Bury and Millwall reviews, Peterborough preview

We would like to wish goalkeeping coach Mike Pollitt a very Happy 11th Birthday for 29th February. Since such occasions only arrive every four years, it is an event to be celebrated... with a thumping 3-0 victory over the Farnworth Flyer’s former side.

Oh, didn’t you know? Polly was benchwarmer for the Saddlers at the start of the 91-92 season... at the ripe old age of 5. No wonder he never made an appearance for the club!

We’d also like to thank the Beamback Gods, who blessed us with a fighting 0-0 draw at the Lions’ Den. Never will a scoreless game be so well remembered by so many, not least Sam Morsy.

Roll on Peterborough and the rest of the final dozen, baker’s man! Preferably with jam.

Progress With Unity Podcast #157: Walsall review, Bury and Millwall previews

We shouldn’t really talk about the FA Cup, seeing as Wigan are no longer part of this year’s competition. But I can’t resist – the nostalgic lure of summer 2013 looms large in my nostrils like the fragrant aroma of fresh pigeon droppings. Hey, it reminds me of Haigh Hall, okay?

Observers of Man City’s crushing cup defeat to Chelsea may have recognised two familiar faces – those of Tosin Adarabioyo and Cameron Humphreys-Grant. That’s because they played for City 18s against Wigan at Stade DW just a few short weeks ago! My, how they grow so fast.

Meanwhile, the ‘magic of the League’ continues to excite Progress With Unity’s panellists more than it bally well should. Are you ready for the mid-table marathon that is Feb-Mar 2016?! PWU says: bring it on with a side of French fry pie.

Progress With Unity Podcast #137: Oldham and Millwall reviews, Walsall preview

You gotta know when to Oldham...

Forget two card draw, how about two draws and a (red) card? Yep, screw exposition: that one sentence is my PWU Podcast description this week, because you don't get much more succinct than that.

Did ya hear me? That's it, so just download the episode and find out what's inside. Hey, it wouldn't be right for me to spoil your Christmas present, would it? ;)

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 #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

Progress With Unity Podcast #83: Leeds and Millwall reviews, and Another Wembley Special

Let the above image be the final reference to last week's fixtures. From half time in the Leeds game, our minds have been 200-odd miles away in a big stadium somewhere in the north west of London. But our bodies will rejoin our brains at The Wembleton soon enough, for the FA Cup Semi Final beckons. Bringiddon.

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

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 #67: Millwall review, Maribor & Bolton previews

Progress With Unity welcomes you, and indeed Uwe! Phew, I think I've worked some of that out of my system... wait, who am I kidding? PWU listeners can look forward to many more farmyard animal jokes, as long as they aren't consigned to the overflowing trash can of deleted content. Quick, hide that bin before Denis Norden pilfers it!

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

Progress With Unity Podcast #66: Coyle post-mortem; Leeds, Derby and Zulte reviews

We're normally a reserved bunch on the PWU Podcast, at least when it comes to criticising our own manager. But all professional integrity is banished as Owen 'Predictable' Coyle gets a terrible 'baller king', as that BBC Leeds commentator said on Five Live Sports Extra the other night.

This one's a must-listen as things get a might fractious...

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

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

PWU40: The Big Pre-Wembley Bash (and the QPR game, maybe)

Here it is, the edition you've all been waiting for! The Progress With Unity Wigan Athletic Podcast is 40 episodes old, and what better way to celebrate than a jolly boys' outing down to London? Around the table this week are enough guests to make a football team (granted, with a man or three sent off), and there is plenty of jovial light-heartedness. And why not? Wembley beckons...

On this week's edition: Barry, Dan, Gareth, Rob, Mick, Paul T, Paul K, Greg and Ray Mathias(!)
