Progress With Unity Podcast #128: A chat with Emmerson Boyce


In this constantly shifting modern football environment, to spend nine whole years at one club is an achievement to be celebrated. Emmerson Boyce must have watched over a hundred players arrive and leave in that time, all the while acting as a reliable anchor, the man to manage a thousand squads, Mr Wigan Athletic.

Progress With Unity is humbled to present an hour-long chat with Boycey, covering the the FA Cup, Europa League and what the future holds for Sir Emmerson. Whatever happens in the next month or so, I, for one, have been honoured to watch the great man at the DW (and the JJB) for nigh on a decade.

Cheers, Boycey!

Progress With Unity Podcast #127: Brentford review, Emmerson Boyce tribute


You know that thing where podcasts traditionally look back upon the season, taking in the highs and lows (or, in our case, the lows and lows) of a campaign past? Well, this might be the last podcast of the 2014/15 season, but there's none of that here. Wouldn't it be much more appropriate to celebrate a Wigan Athletic legend with a... surprise party? Oh, yew betcha pardner!

Status of potential PWU summer special: uncertain. Status of Emmerson Boyce: inebriated (possibly).

Have a very Merry Summermas!

Progress With Unity Podcast #126: Wolves review, Brentford preview


Hmm, what's that great, grey beast with tusks blocking the exit? Hey, does this mean we don't have to leave, and we can stay in the Championship? Wow, this post-FA Cup dream does have a happy ending after all!

Wait, you're saying that was a dream too? Talk about a nightmare within a nightmare... and I still have to shift that blasted elephant in my room. Ah well, where's that XXXXL Pooper Scooper...?

Progress With Unity Podcast #125: Brighton review, Wolves preview


You know that phrase, 'you're only as good as your last game'? Well, the PWU Podcast likes to take that in the most literal sense, booking the morgue when we've lost as opposed to ordering funfair tickets when we've won. And this week is no exception - even when staring relegation in its ugly, pimple-infested face, a first home win in eight months can make you invincible.

You're in for the ride now, dude... there *is* no turning back.
