Progress With Unity Christmas Quiz 2016

 Clue: quiz does not contain Donervon or Yanic.

Four years ago, Progress With Unity hosted a gala Christmas function complete with snacks, flimsy party hats and a Latics-themed quiz. It was attended by many prominent figures in the Wigan Athletic community… and Mr Barry Worthington.

But that was over in the positively archaic Studio 1. This year’s PWU do took place in a genuine Swedish sauna… round the back of the Book Cycle. Yeah, I never knew it was there until the party either! Funny how I didn’t even think to look before now.

See if you can beat our expert panellists with this test of your Wigan Athletic knowledge. Questions provided by All Gone Latics ‘journos’ Dan and Liam, so you can direct any inaccuracies squarely at their moping mushes.

How did you do? 

1-3 points: Alright there, Coyley?

3-6 points: Have yourself an extra helping of meat an’ tater this New Year.

6-9 points: You’re better at this than I am.

9+ points: Cheater! I’m going to revoke your Google access. 😛

We all love a good quiz to test our knowledge, there is no better time for quizzes than over the festive period, so here at PWU Latics podcast HQ we have recorded a 'special Latics quiz' for all the Latics fans to pit their wits against Big Baz and Raucous Rob as they go 'head-to-head' in the final podcast of year.

Now I'm not promising a classic, nor even a factually correct quiz, after all the question were compiled by Debatable Dan, but it is a quiz and a Latics quiz at that, so sit back, get your finger on the buzzer and join in with the fun that simply oozes from this episode, if you beat either of us then please let us know, in the mean time Happy New Year and all the best for 2017.

Progress With Unity Podcast #189: Ipswich review, Rotherham preview

"A fair tackle." -- Officials

Diego Maradona punching past Peter Shilton in the '86 World Cup Final: legal. Thierry Henry placing the ball at his feet before scoring the goal that dumped Ireland out of the 2010 World Cup Qualifiers: legal.

Branislav Ivanovic gut busting Shaun Maloney just seconds before Chelsea broke to score a winning goal... which was offside: all above board and ratified.

Keith Stroud awarding a penalty against Dan Burn just for existing: you'd better believe that stood up in a footballing court of law (unlike that attacker stumbling into the penalty area).

Conclusion: football is utter nonsense, so for 2017 I shall be switching to competitive kerb-ball. And that, dear reader, is your Christmas present!

We're back in the studio this week for the PWU Christmas party.

We scored at home, two goals, but still lost to a poor Ipswich, it's definitely tough at the bottom.

We take a look back at 2016 for the highlights and low points, the high most definitely outweigh the lows.

We finish off with a preview of the Boxing Day trip to Rotherham, a massive game for both clubs.

Progress With Unity Podcast #188: Aston Villa review, Newcastle and Ipswich previews

  
Contrary to the first two teams in the post subject, it certainly isn't Premier League Week here at PWU. Get with the times! We're in 1996 already, geez.

Unseasonably mild evenings offer the perfect opportunity for an al fresco edition of Peedubya live from the burger van outside the South Stand. Yep, we literally stood around in a circle with a voice recorder while the wind blew through our ears.

(Well, *I* didn't because I was stuck in a traffic jam outside KFC.)

Our resident podcast editor has applied noise removal techniques, but sadly could not do anything about the rubbish spewing from our mouths. Hwahaha!

Progress With Unity Podcast #187: Derby review, Aston Villa and Newcastle previews

Short on time? That's a convenient coincidence, because we have just the gimmick for you. Starting this week, your flavour text writer will be providing one-sentence summaries of the PWU episode(s) in question. And this week, that sentence is:

"Warren Joyce lost his pants."

There ya go - now you don't even need to listen! But I'm still going to write timecodes to cover the unlikely event that you have over 30 seconds but less than 2 minutes to spare.

Only kidding, I haven't even listened to this episode yet. Let me know what happens, will ya?

0:00 Twilight Zone intros
0:30 Derby deconstruction with Si's softly spoken Off The Terrace report (1:30)

10:30 "It's all your fault, Marcus Wildschut"

20:00 Aston Villa preview: Brucey's Frustration Game
23:00 Si's Oddschecker and mildly apprehensive predictions (apprehensictions?)

Derby review, stats, Si's of the terrace report and Warren Joyce on Yanic.

FA Cup draw, how inspiring Forest at home, we talk a bit of FA cup gibberish!

Next up it's the Villa preview, this comes in on 20 minutes.

Newcastle are in town next Wednesday and we preview the game, this comes in on 33 minutes.

We were the best team in Europe, now we are just a one in ten.

Progress With Unity Podcast #186: Huddersfield review, Derby preview

"Three large salads, you say? Who orders salad from McFellaini's?!"

Hypocrisy, hmm? To those who claim your small time internet flavour text writer had been brainwashed by the Roberto and Caldwell Co., I say this: you're darn right. And goodness knows it needed a thorough scrub, because there was some *really* mucky stuff at the back of that brain.

While I won't write about Calds again (probably), I'll continue to reference the 'Martinez fallacy' (possession does not always equal success) ad infinitum.

In other words, PWU welcomes its new shorts-wearing, Owdum accented, (possibly) Bovril-swilling, mega defensive overlord... with a great big custard pie to the face!

Only kidding - he can have all the Victoria sponge in my pantry if he keeps feeding it to Yanic.

A fantastic three points gained at Huddersfield, grit and determination the order of the day and the indisputable pace of a certain Yanic 'Ostrich Jockey' Wildschut.

We have the customary stats and Si's off the terrace report, then the debate about just where we are at the moment under Warren Joyce.

Derby are in town on Saturday, the Rams, along with ourselves, are the divisions low scorers, so will we be in for a goal fest? The panel seem to think not.
