Progress With Unity Podcast #197: Preston and QPR reviews, Forest preview


Hello; I am not your small time flavour text writer. He can not be with you this week as he is currently under investigation by the BPB (British Pie Board) for irregularities regarding pre-match pastries. He is said to have advocated Galloways over the obviously superior Hollands, a claim he outright refutes. But following his role in the Penguins in the fridge incident of 2016, such accusations must be investigated.

I have been told to 'write something silly' in his absence, but my nature forbids such foolishness. Hence, the following timecodes have been written by that friendly robotic chap Google Timecode once more.

Have a nice day, pie-munchers.

The mood is changing quicker than the North West weather in the PWU studio at the moment.

A draw and a defeat leave us all dreading what's staring us in face after a little bit of euphoria last week, well that what it's like being a football fan, up one minute, down the next!

We have a look back at the Preston and QPR games, penalty decisions, bookings, goals and other talking points whilst Adam gives us his run down on his visit to Loftus Road, a tale of two halves by all accounts.

Just where are we at the moment, we have a look at the Latics form under Warren Joyce and ponder if we can still pull it around.

We finish off with a preview of the Forest game this Saturday and Si gives us the latest odds on a goalless draw.

Progress With Unity Podcast #196: Fulham and Wolves reviews, Preston and QPR previews


Evenings suck. I have no idea why anyone would record a podcast after 7PM, let alone host a football match. It's dark, cold and everyone has gone home to watch repeats of Hammydale or Botheration Street.

PWU (or at least your flavour text writer) is wholly in favour of the Wigan Post's decision to drop 'evening' from its name. Not due to the above, but because this local publication now appears to be named after the South Stand goalpost Charles N'Zogbia struck as he netted the winner against Arsenal that time.

See, I told you it was a football paper all along!

We're kinda buzzing this week, a win is a win

We start off with a Fulham review, poor stats making us tired?

Reece Burke loaned out to Barrow, that's a bit of a shock, we thought he'd have been challenging for a place in the team after his early season showings.

Wolves review, nothing like an 88th minute winner, get in there Jake Buxton.

Preston in town on Saturday for a derby game, could be a cracker this one, Rob entertains us with tales from the 'Diary of a Ball Boy'.

The games are coming thick and fast, away at QPR on Tuesday, Rob entertains us with tales from the 'Diary of Keep Ball' on a previous visit to Loftus Road that landed him in trouble with the law!

Next up we hear about Max Power and David Perkins' road trip on Tuesday, these two are the new Max and Paddy.

Progress With Unity Podcast #195: Sheff Wed and Norwich reviews, Fulham and Wolves previews


Despite the fact some football might have been happening, I am going to hijack this PWU flavour text in the name of pastries once more. Ohh yessss, it's time to pander to those well-worn stale-otypes!

Wigan-Norwich pastry review 2017

Good: Free [brand name removed] pasties outside the East Stand. There were plenty remaining when your flavour text writer arrived at 7.30pm.

Bad: No pasties (or anything at all) left at half time in the concourse. Apparently the caterers were fired on the spot.

Solution: Re-open Sharpy's as a gourmet pasty restaurant. C'mon Dave, ya know it'll be worth it!

Have we found ourselves a new hero?

Sheffield Wednesday review – what a dull game

Norwich and Omar Bogle at the double, more like it and signs that we could actually get out of trouble, if only we would play with intent.

Can we stay up Steward Hart asks? I think we're split 60/40 on this one.

Fulham at the weekend down by the river, preview.

A Valentine treat for the Black Country, the Latics are at Wolves on Tuesday, preview.

Progress With Unity Podcast #194: Man United review, Sheff Wed & Norwich previews


That's it, lads, show's over! Now that afternoon at the Theatre of Broken Dreams has been forgotten like those 1,001 astounding ideas we think up just before we fall asleep, you can also forget about Wigan Athletic for another four months.

...Or maybe not - you Sly Sporks Snooze guys will be back on Friday evening, won't you? Well, I hope you have your Wigan Pier and Wigan Casino stock footage ready. Oh, and don't forget Uncle Joe's, Heinz spaghetti shapes and meat and tater pies!

Never mind, just roll that tape labelled 'Transfer Window Nonsense', would you? Yeah, I know it's the same one we play twice every year but with the player names digitally altered. You do realise we're on a budget here?

So much to cram into just one hour this episode, Man U, Transfer Deadline Day, snakes alive, Sheffield Wednesday, more snakes on Tuesday with Norwich in town, wow

We start with a quick look back at the FA cup game at Old Trafford, Man U 4 Latics £1m+

Transfer whirlwind day, just what was going on? Quite exciting on the incomings and a one word goodbye message to Yanic from Gareth.

We're back on the telly on Friday when Sheff Weds are in town, with Callum McManaman in tow.

Big clash on Tuesday with Norwich at the DW and a certain Mr Wildschut, we'll leave it there.
