Listen Now

Jimmy, Alan, Ian and Luke are again joined by Macca, BarcaJim and John Coyne for more festive fun and games, that don't quite go to plan.  What more could you want to make your yuletide skip along merrily than a convoluted theme, football(ish) chat and seven chaps slowly slipping into inebriation?  It’s like every family do you’ve ever been to, except it’s not. 

In which Jimmy, Alan, Ian and Luke are joined by three ghosts of podcasts past to welcome in the festive period and give a nod towards Christmases past, present and yet to come.  Join us on the first, and definitely most sober, of our three-part Christmas special as we try to avoid talking about Jimmy’s elephant in the room and Luke’s drink choices by finding out what our guests, and their football teams, have been up to in lockdown.

In which  Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke try to cut through the "Fake News" of the takeover, celebrate Halloween in true TPAN style (i.e. over a fortnight late) by revealing some skeletons from their closets and then try and find us a new Centre Half for Saturday afternoon because we could really do with a clean sheet.

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris, Ian, Luke and Sean get together like giddy school kids after two months off coming in to find they've got a cool new teacher. Or something. Find out exactly who our new owners are, whether we're capable of working out who are most handsome defenders of all time are and whether there's anything else to talk about at the moment (SPOILER - probably). Two hours of the usual banging on about stuff and nonsense that, maybe, contains too much bloody football.

Still socially distanced and fighting the internet postcode boundaries, Jimmy returns to the podcast to talk about important stuff like what he's doing on his summer holidays and which Wigan Athletic goalkeeper was the most handsome. Because there's nothing else to talk about... for nearly two hours.

With Alan still in the driving seat, is it any wonder that he, Chris, Ian and Dylan take a meandering journey through current events at Latics. As well as our usual, ill-informed football opinions, we take team to lift the lid on Dylan's attempts to become Wigan's very own Poirot

Alan, Chris, Ian and Luke mourn Jimmy's absence by talking about... well you can probably guess

Locked down at home and locked out of the ground, Jimmy, Alan, Chris, Ian and Luke catch up with Huddersfield Town, and WN6er, Tim to try and get in the mood for the return of f... so... foot... erm that thing we used to have were people run about, cry and sometimes kick balls at each other

Socially distant and socially awkward, with all that's going on, you'd think they'd have nothing to say, you'd probably be right. Jimmy, Alan, Chris, Ian and Luke zoom in to talk shite about all the important things in life.

"You do realise there's no football on?" "It's just an excuse to lock yourself in the dining room and drink beer, isn't it?" "You do know that no one is going to listen to four blokes drinking beer and talking about nothing, don't you?" Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke get together by the magic and mystery of the internet to... well, we won't spoil the surprise.

In which Jimmy, Alan and Chris play the three Masketeers and brave (computer) viruses to get some content back on the internet. Contains as much moaning about illness as it does football, which isn’t as bad as it might sound.

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Luke talk around the elephant in the room waiting for someone to scream "COOK OUT". There's New Year's resolutions. Made up stats, TV and Brexit flavoured train tapas. Oh, and V... A... effin R. Of course there's way too much football.

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Ian ignore the fact that IT'S NOW XMAS to moan like billyho about the current state of affairs at Latics as well as asking THE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS like "name a worse substitute than Kal Naismith" (sorry Kal, it's not you, it's us)

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Ian vie for your votes, in more than one way. We catch up on all things Latics, as well as allowing us some flights in the cause of #content. We really do need to get back to the pub.

In which Jimmy, Alan and Ian chat shit for hours (ish) whilst Chris catches 40 winks in his Yorkshire bolthole. As well as catching up with the international week and all things Latics, we finish off our chat with Mark Hayes as he runs through his time as Ashton Town chairman.

In which Jimmy, Alan, Chris and Ian get together by skype in a vain attempt to pull something together that is worthy of the second part of our interview with Mark Hayes, in which he talks about Joseph's Goal and a few other things besides.

In which Jimmy, Alan and Ian schlep over to Rugby country to chat with latics fan, amateur football chairman, landlord and charity fund raiser extraordinaire, Mark Hayes.
