Thank you for listening to the b.b.c. Local radio on the internet unfortunately the current programme on the mic over stadium bridges recovery continues apace they look for one and Warrington to be one Glossop wanting to know typecast is all say they're not quite over the nearest makes no difference is now a confirmed full time so well done to Glossop you've won by 2 goals the no right you can talk about any or all of those subjects we're here till 6 got the ball rolling We've got Steve and all we need now is 10161228 double to double 5 stave that was an easy watch was it not an awful lot of finesse out there no not all the lines and distances of the back 4 as I thought contributed to it being a tight game it was always going to be that way I could see that after a couple of minutes but with but line squeezed right up to the halfway line when they were attacking so I felt like on this halfway line 22 we got here at Rochdale Jimmy and again throughout the middle 3rd there was sometimes 181920 bodies all around the same space where the ball was so there was naturally lots of confrontation lots of physical counter and I have to say rather have just got a few more bigger plays than Rochdale and the I they came out on top physically at times or they stopped Rochdale progressing in trying to get back into the game by either tackling or fall in Rochdale did their bit as well physically I also wish that the yellow cards but it never allowed for a football match and in the end to me it's actually been decided by a play goal of which to rather and could have easily scored from 4 or 5 we've had is in the penalty area so there wasn't much in the game a couple of our chances in the 1st up or rather in which way the money's to craft in such a hard game from the set plays and the 1st contact of the ball that's how the game was won and that's how rather modestly play their football. So let's go to the other game that we've been covering for you today Paul Rowley is of course our of wig. Reporter. Paul obviously I've been following Digital Radio 3 parts on the road never to be sniffed it's not and it was a magnificent performance by we're going to brilliant goals from down burn who in the 1st half have cleared off the line what looked to be a certain go. Before that was at Birmingham City last season a brilliant things from him and then Lee Evans was sent off 3 minutes later on the 54th minute for what looked to be a head butting incident on that front so. That she got the free kick he retaliated to a tackle from from and that means we're going to have 4 red cards already this season Paul will not be happy with that and so we confound the cells then. Down to 10 men but then to power the enigmatic Nick Powell. Now on 74 minutes his 6th goal of the season and the assist was from the goalkeeper Jamie Jones and then later on for was involved in the incident that led to the Red Card Harve the deficit so very tense game for going after that but it means they've narrowed Srodes biggest lead at the top of the table and that is their 4th away were in of the season so a lot of spirit for Wigan Athletic a lot of fire and I think that that performance was one of those that you will remember for some particular time because of the the red card right Steve. Paul just mentioned the name and he used the word enigmatic I always suck about it. Because when he's played well he looks real player number No quite. A lot you know which is part of the thrill because there are so many players that come through academy football these days you play still young player Jimmy there are almost you can you can go to any game across the conscience see so many plays the same straight away if you didn't perceive that Paul you go to a game you'd spot him in a minute the way the way he conducts himself the way you roll in this just everything is elegance. At times because sometimes you can't be relied upon to stay fit play well who can who else can do that in the professional game very very tough so you have to just persevered with natural talent that sometimes goes missing and I'm sure from monitors in teammates they'll think it goes missing bit too often for their liking but for the supporter of seeing something different I don't games like today under those who are today the obviously that is the top score initially used to go to this league some would say the Premier League player certainly a championship player technique a new skill and he's praying it gives you the impression he doesn't look football we don't we don't know don't know him well enough. That leaves something of every game which is probably a mixture of disappointment frustration and absolute elation at times right Paul you watch Nick Powell week in week out. Discourse I mean. The curial I mean he can be anonymous at times and he has been injured and that's been the problem I mean maybe it came to early for him when he was playing for Crewe Alexander scored at Wembley I seem to remember as well signed by Alex Ferguson to manage to not have a 6000000 pounds maybe it went to his head but he's such a gifted class and you know he played for get in the Europa League let's not forget because he was originally signed by but I mean Coyle in the season in the Championship after they were relegated from. But he's just one of those players he's just absolutely brilliant on the ball and provided that you know east and that's the problem he's now played 11 matches this season never finished a game of being very much managed by Paul Cook in relation to this because you know he is injury prone he does go down the law and let's be honest with you he is targeted to remember Graeme Barrow He was can take a manager last season saying to me that he felt that a lot of opposition players know that he makes Wigan Athletic tick and he is sometimes some of the over the top tackles that he's faced have been pretty horrific to be honest with you but he's got great talent and I think he's got the ability to do it but maybe sometimes in his head he may not yet have grown up probably but he is only 23 Paul it seems to me that the bigger the game the better the player those type of players will always be adored by supporters and anybody if you will to a player I will forgive frustration is disappointments on the work I think Steve I have some bad news to say on this glorious day for going off let's take a lot of older Wigan Athletic fans will remember the name Ian McNeil He was the manager of Wigan when I started watching them in 1968 the 1st manager in the northern Premier League he was then sacked in 1970 replaced by Gordon mill but he came back in 1956 to become the manager that took them from the northern Premier League into the Football League I have to tell you the sad news today Ian who's been suffering from Alzheimer's disease in Aberdeen for the last few years has died at the age of 85 and I know your dad Steve knew him very well and he will be distraught tonight. Tells a story about myself I don't remember this from school crying when I found it been sucked it we're going to flood. You know with. People. It's probably. Best wishes on a speedy recovery to the wife of Barry's press officer. Christine is not too well at the moment said Golden our thoughts are with the football it's already walk past 5 o'clock up but it's going to say you through till through till 8 o'clock with music from the decade that was the eighty's. I'd like your thoughts and memories personal memories if you have the. Age of 881 of England's finest ever footballers if you want to talk about the week most of the way that we watch international football certainly seems to be changing and you should be the ultimate accolade now think Plaza likely to achieve more with the clubs and they do with the country I can remember Steve. No one said to me that he would crawl a broken glass on the sands a nice to support. In those days playing for England was a Cobol club Well if you play for your United or Chelsea that's probably not true any more it is a no probably not the way the Premier League has gone in the money for an influx of players and coaches and managers of course but you know I don't want to talk about I still want to believe that the 3 lions in the Wembley Stadium the old Twin Towers as it was still carries as much. As it did because it's every young boy's dream to play for your country but. Realistically if you were still in you've got more chance of winning some would sit in your putting Yeah for sure and that's probably you know more than the bread and butter these days that would be a lazy phrase you know it's more than life changing in a week. So yeah a save up but hopefully by the time the tournament comes around we'll all be whipped up again and not to be disappointed and it will carry as much hope and excitement as I was done previously albeit that it just seems to be drifting. About with. Them Home and Away fuel. Watch them to. It wasn't the best game of football of of the say in the crown or the arena but your talk about Rochdale season today on where you expect them to go that's fine if you want to talk about Bobby Charlton or England but it has been national non-league day in football today and if you've been to a guy especially if you normally go if football Premier League level you thought you did you tell when the waters of non-league today I'd like to know how to experience and doubt whether you enjoyed the football whether you enjoyed the all round experience or 161228 double 2 double 5 going to talk now to Jordan Sims no Jordan resulting in match season inclusion officer so it be a big day for him today because I know he had a lot of initiatives going on down must play NY Jordan High doing Ok I am sorry I wasn't that's a day I don't get a chance to go to altie on a Saturday Normally if I get a chance on them midweek and I mean I've always banging the drum for non-league football but I know that you had all sorts of special mission tips today so I was it worked out for you well we had a foreigner win which you know it always helps Jordan definitely helps here yeah so it's been really good. Basically Are we willing. To keep how well we would want to nationally to showcase our work so what we do on today's we've launched our inclusion strategy which is demonstrating what we do already as a football club and in our plans for the future and we've also got our guest of honor today was Mr nothing. Was involved enough. In you know great you know altering in a couple weeks ago. Right yeah of the ultimate Muslim Association and he was our guest of honor and we've we've been talking to him how we can link communities when the football club and the Muslim Association we also have a diverse a special 1st thing he would want today. One of those ships was present. In the Muslim Association so we've got a wheelchair enclosure that's planned for a couple weeks time and hoping to launch the really successful a we had a mini pride truck that's right came down. And had live music Yes been a really great I have to say as well or not just by getting the all to drill because I'm on a you're on a real life vice president isn't just a day thing with all 3 because my son Joe was quite severely autistic he was a school call picked in template. All Chickenfoot ballclub their association with picture and what they did for Joe school was just phenomenal so I do think ultra. Globe is very very good community involvement anyway Jordan a reason why we want to Jamia make it wider make it more public to the community so we get more community of well more volunteers as well I mean. We had a lot of his call Daniel is Gus because he painted the game of the game was on. So he's in the wonderful pictures that I painted it lives a much is going on so you know. This is a we've tapped it with disability charities to reach out the day we try to get involved in different faith groups l.g.b. See community so we're trying to bring as many much as a greater also has been See involved in the football because he'll know as well as anyone else football is a. You know it's great bringing communities together absolutely and did you get a decent turnout today we did we got 94 on the gate but we guess we have a 1000 which is fantastic. For the league was playing in as well. I don't think you know be in that league loam have got a good feeling to me Walter Jordan National League north a week all. Right but no no Steve s. Alongside move that if I would it comes to football I've got a clue what I'm talking about just to stop it no doubt. Occasionally a lot of copyright every dollar to get I mean. Great squats together so sore fingers crossed we celebrate Hopis right Stevan Laval's you well yeah obviously we were with the weather when you don't. Like Stockport County blink and you've missed it last year really really you know embedded in. There but they're obviously sounds like they're making the right progress to bounce back which is great I'm steady bridge as well cause they start at the dead dog of the start of the season but put a few wins together now yeah hopefully they can continue but they shouldn't be struggling in the late they're in there's no way to go good go good support behind the scenes infrastructure good close up again. There's growth elsewhere so for to see United 2 that we've talked about often is such a sea that So what's happened to self it obviously stopped for Staley Bridgeport they're all capable of mounting part but going to talk to Phil Brant a 2nd before the game we were talking quite extensively about nonbelief Well I know your money coach he could it's been in the league football a very high standard are you a fan of normally Steve definitely if I've got a bad game to go to midweek I go most often to go to see you know to because of Col I've got friends that look you know again it's like you sell to me I can get through the games in the northwest and be well looked after so I do enjoy going and honestly if I've got to spend Saturday or Tuesday with a league fixture to go to or to be involved with I don't stay in I get myself out get to know a little of it well me and you Doug went to l.t. a Couple years ago only to. Let him in anyway Steve and today it was a good day for the mention didn't. Study bridge will for one and you had your tie on in the. Let us know I did have a child because if you're going to post seats up to be honest I prefer to just sit in the main stand because I like all the crap that goes on around you at non-league football right Phil Brown and why have you been again remind us what Celtic. I mean really well for one it sounds like it there was a good game story. They were saying there and the indications are newschool the winning goal when we stop. Against 8 lines superbly today is on fire but in doing playing football again you won't mind me saying it's a little bit overweight. Now and a chat with him before the game is really enjoying himself Oh you've just reminded me of beard you Dad went down to cover that day and if you remember Steve the play off final stop still in Jim Gannon and I think Phil will but Bill promised that to save the world while on the day you looked at and you look at what's gone on to do Steve you to thaw 5 years to now to see it will be in the Championship because the average age was about yeah that would have. Major shows if you take your eye of the ball you know you look at the bottom 2 teams now in the Football League not quite you know our area as such but within an hour and a half mile in Chesterfield in League One the last year now the bottom 2 spots in League 2 got clubs like Leighton or even the conference Luton were in it and it bounced back Wrexham honestly if you take your eye off the ball it can be just as happy is winning the habit can be losing it can drift interest and it can not be stopped sometimes but still view remember well cause your association with stop or not was a good side when a well yeah I mean eventually the players went on you know so concerned to kill himself so. You know young Roddy was in and around the side. Come on Logan to be fair on the day one player playing today it was only apply to Dale for a while but you know they've all they all went on. And went to a much better level and unfortunately the following season the wheels came off at the club and and then they are now in the conference now it's done it stays dry is dead like a blink of an ice just it just seems to happen and it's gone so Phil did they get paid numbly Davy obviously got a terrific result federative get a decent turnout. I've not been mislead for some of the I would say it was certainly a bigger crowd than they were expecting it was a life like you say in the main stand listening to the crack at the not only grounds because it's all the regulars in the you know them very funny lot you know the older people especially we've got some great stories to tell and. A decent crowd. You know a good performance all around lately on set NASA just dominates the game and it is insanely concrete a clean sheet because where they are at the moment you know Khloe in a way and get them selves back at the table goal difference and stable tell you. You know the 4 goals they were 4 goals on a clean sheet would have made a much bigger difference and I know Steve. Only like Tom because come the end of the day. In terms of the teams that went down and altie and stayed the bridge Stalybridge didn't have a great star all to go slightly still simply poll fly now so would it be reasonable to anticipate they're likely to be in the mix. I think I said cheerily and say he had made the comment Kingston knows this to be you know was next question really well and I think. He's going to sell with people around in the middle of the division now I'm surprised at the level of football Staley bridge play today because it was a brilliant So watch and really entertaining football the not. Hoping for the best actually playing lovely wants or short ball so it wouldn't surprise me at all that if Staley bridge catch fire and stop. Physicians Well said Phil I'll speak. To the Editor of the non-league magazine who's been watching the bridge but for once I still got just over half an hour if you want to talk football which Staver the former manager former Manchester City coach. Paul roller who's been watching Wigan since that was an apprentice and if your talk about Bobby Charlton 34 memories of a man in a pub I watched him play in a testimonial game not even a testimonial a friendly game with some businessman against the Manchester United 11 and would have been well in the sixty's and he still moved across all Trafford as always result castors all football topics out there to be talked about 61 to 2 a double to double 5 because of the 6 o'clock before you know it so ready to. Leave the radio man just travel update. Well we have the football traffic from Rochdale and failed. Our opening 10 minutes for the boxing in Manchester Arena it's been busy on the most who are just getting nice the end. There was an accident between 16 Pendlebury and 17 press which now cleared Interfet will ease on the anticlockwise scientists Alain closed and broken down paths again on the m 60 but anticlockwise Swinton's change 15th.

People that's closed in both directions at the junction of Talbot road and Grange Hill Drive the mold with road traffic lights and that he's being diverse along. Happened there in terms of public transport we have some. Mining delays on a few lines on the Metro Link so worth checking before you travel that's your method of transport the Saturday in thing if you can a date is there when he's holding you back and it's I want to fix 19093649 weekday afternoons with actually what's coming up this week Gary from the Christie ends tells me about the new album saying strings and models and former 1st lady of France Kala Bruno tells me about how multifaceted life and the music. Lead history. So now to everyone you know especially standards I send them as if I wrote They're in my ears and in my heart such a long time you know. There's even more music for now the music business is a hard enough business that if you don't believe in what you're doing is just going to be too much of an uphill battle but the end of my life I want to look back and think I gave it every try I could he want weekdays from new b.b.c. Radio Manchester. B.b.c. Radio Manchester spoke. To hear from 2 local manages it revolved in today's football short it will start week a killer scene is still side. But rather I'm here today I'll wish you through today's results will hear from Keith but if you want to talk football you still got about half an hour maybe a little bit less a 16122 a double total 5016122 a double 2 double 5 and yes you can talk about today's you know restricted to them if you want to talk about all the football related topics Mr Staver happy to talk to you over the next half hour or so so if l. Want Rochdale Mill Road the room wants gone thought we're going to Wigan absolutely flying in 2nd place at the top end of the table in the National League Michael Steele top of the table. This morning and still top of the table they've beaten eps fleet by a goal to nil National League North mixed bag locally in one hour a gate to top of the table and stretching their lead over sulphide City who was surprisingly beaten 32 home by Lemington Darlington one Stockport one a north better be united 3 f.c. United 3 it was trophy day today Cleethorpes be high to warm mostly Skelmersdale by 3 goals to one Albion born Droylsden one Prescott Cable's 3 Trafford warm Ramsbotham 3 Colwyn Bay Neil Stockbridge park steals one athletes in Cole you is 4 and Tadcaster nil Glossop north and 2 in the Premier. 4 nil now which lost. One nil Aston United 152 Mikel over Staley bridged 41 Warrington one home to one against which has been national non-league day today we miss your team out phone bill Rice a media city and I'm sure will how did your team to the list just think about who's going to watch Chelton and West did pretty day on national something to do with dogs that much anyway I'm not quite sure how that game panned out see if we can find out before we knock on the 6 make way for Stuart Barrett bringing you music from the eighty's but you still got time to talk so don't be shy 161228 double to double 5 and I've been watching rush to lose one home to rather than today it was chalk it was attritional it was very physical and I cannot remember any stage of the 90 minutes even a semblance of breaking out these things are sent to try us these are post months thoughts of Dale post Keith we're not playing football in it which is a problem. If you just look at the last 5 minutes of the game with the 2 callers today had a. The opponents stay Davis across buffer Moneta. We it's been effective enough in France a goal and. It's probably spoiling performances because there's not an awful lot wrong with it before we see it sometimes money you know what a game you look at a performance and think we're in trouble you we're in trouble on social ball we need the find your rhythm and pull the chances away when we get a chance. To go in the 1st stop in the 1st stop. But the goal it's a catalog of maybe saw why. Negative mistakes troll. Feel whether it's a free kick can all you know. That they put into the box is going to play just you know. For a call which you think is that of a corner we should be you know 2nd a goal kick and that is just and. You know posed and you know one of the players that I was young you know was responsible for mocking you know. It's just a negative. Many You know and sort of performance is a more than acceptable you know the team performance today you know like sets ball . The goal. Vicky cupolas of the games. It's. The big contentious debates in. Things we've in the game this small detail you know whether it's picking a player in the box which supporters will see a deal say the referee not particularly good games. You know the big things within the game that they think I see the much much effect. Smaller things which are the big details and we've got to get them right whether it's the 1st. 2nd phase we have to be a more responsible one when you know. Because. The structure seems pretty. Good for a while it was from set play. We have to get the other side of the game right and the players every single pleasure for scoring goals. Sounding a little bit deflated but I think the game Steve didn't you said before the game whenever you expect to see school I did score into. The Stephen Davis spends most of his time facing the wrong way as a number 9 a big target as he tries to be by 2 people in the body of the ball is common in what you are facing the wrong way to such a hard job the only Alan Shearer Les Ferdinand to absolutely must that it even to this day really. Had to sit in Keith Hill's favorite 433 formation on the left wing you don't know on the right wing the central position but when it's a 433 which sometimes turns out we just want from. You know each chosen the most physical want to jump to Stephen Davis and with that left as he tries to score from 25 yards sometimes on realistic and you're right they never worked anything into the penalty area like a top 10 or even a scruffy looking goal there was no chance of that today Keith mentioned a little bit of success from set plays but that sound rather got there on those 3 of 4 rather m f it's from set plays where they could have scored themselves rather I'm just completely out to when you're a manager and you tell your team look I'm of the stripe for the 1st 5 minutes trying to get into the game turning into a football match they did it for 95 minutes they were physical if they couldn't fairly be fouled rushed out it does well with yellow cards or planting and it just didn't so a great game to watch to me but what we should see is what we know we play with Keith and Rochdale that d.n.a. If you like they can play they can score goals to come play better than they did today but the opponent as he called them. One of the biggest clubs in League One and you'll be disappointed I know on Monday when he starts again well I know you play football that are not on paper but when you look at the team sheet and you've got Stephen Davis in at the side you've got quality like Hendo don't. Cause that be a few goals off those or you can say you know the No I obviously today not anywhere near the goals to get credit is finished they were nowhere near the penalty area there was no time on the ball for them to work something individually Well we'll see a line squeeze right instruction. Line was squeezing right up so the game was played right through the right in front of. The game was a war of attrition and it was just fouls body contact aplenty and it just never turned into a football match and once rather got their nose in from they were keen to extend they just wanted to spoil even more and that's what they did and look go in with a clean sheet and 3 points there was a lot of guile in the game no Steve. Allen It was a nice set the tempo of the game very well yeah and I'm not sure the Cullen comes as Benaud with illness I think you know when he was a shadow of himself he was nowhere near. As he knew as well we are you struggling but you can only slot is a good player and he had very good player thing and he will come again I'm not sure he was helped today by the lone player Williams that played mostly central which just all should Callen camp slightly to let me feel Keith pushed him on a bit in the 2nd so the balls from the back when Rochdale are starting off which normally goes to that deep middle players know McCallum camps were going to Williams who looks go to but I think Callum didn't really benefit from being just slightly over to the left and not get much ball of the Rochdale but lets the stoplight right when it's. Going to find out what happened game with the dogs today but while she's been on from Sulphur he said just say that yes England haven't set the world alight like they have qualified for the Wilco piece of cheese what matters and we. Should get behind our national team I think well should we do get be on the national team pool isn't quite the thrilly used to be when it was so clearly a step from football because there are probably 2 or 3 teams in this country now who would beat England more often than the dilution to the I guess I've always wanted to do well I have to say though Steve qualifying for tournament. When they get there to make a picture of it yeah they do and I don't know can't speak for God. But I'm sure his when he goes to bed and gets up in the morning you know in using the uniform he's objectively seen so many of the sofa. You know throwing it up wide open to entertain He just wants to win nice but he's playing players he would argue I'm sure play Russia better play still in a play Ali when he got suspended you know you know I play them and I want them to express themselves I just think it's the way the game has become to me so cautious the picture is like a carpet obviously Wembley always has been but it's in the best condition it's ever been pristine I love to just careful everything gets past inside and backwards and slow and you just wait for an opening but I was just a very grateful are still in England supporter that we look like we've got one of the best number 19 we'll football the moment bull Let's talk about if you should get beyond the England side or you bought the departing glint would you rather watch you club side than England when you see England's game is on the telly or if someone offered you a ticket to go and watch England at Wembley do you get excited about it because when we were kids that would be your absolute dream for someone to say my Also much England play today or if someone said is the ticket go and watch England you'd go absolutely but listing I'm not sure people get quite the same throw a no that is a dedicated court of supporters who follow England Home and Away if you're one of them hear from you if you're not bothered I'd like to hear your viewpoint as well please 016-1228 double to double 5 we've tracked him down. So for those people who didn't hear you before the commentry games where you've been today made to point out both been wrong to say what the jury in the sky is gay and it was a cracking game actually really really really open the last couple of games down that it's finished 5 and today a lot of folks say Social all the dogs in the phone has not paid the 3 quid to get in the got 50 payroll it's not so bad for a like an put you were say in the your guestimate of the crowd you were hoping for 25 did you get it. Blix 25 well cyclic state we got to 29 in the end that's the official count anyway the other big parade of the dogs. And it was very entertaining but it breaks almost a show world record I think this special records for dogs or an event something like a 1000 times that Park in Boston for the baseball game football non-league football over in the u.k. . And so it would set a new market $29.00 and we're going to try again next year but it was great all the dogs all the owners will sail in a lot normally come in they'll be back. I'm glad you enjoyed your day and your underestimate the crowd because if you go to if you're an to supply in 25 and you got 29 that's not 20 percent mark. Yeah I know it's not say about is it that said humans there was a lot more humans and dogs there was that I reckon maybe 50. Can when you consider the weather I mean it was absolutely bobbins before kickoff really really had the showers people made the effort they came down that they want to support non-league they want to support the local club as well west it's really in charge and one of the all signs that they're really embraced the local community and they want people to come down on the day I mean all kinds of initiatives to get down there and help people down at the time. Just support. The club in any way. Lots of people got up today and. Not go shopping will bring the kids down as well and it was absolutely fantastic really really good atmosphere down there. From what I understand it's been chilling story across the country as well crowds op people been injured recently football for the 1st time fingers crossed the going to go back into shape. Well you know it's a dream that we've been together down the keyboard is a very different experience points one well we're even if you go and you don't like it at least you get a chance to find out. Well yeah exactly it's not like going to watch an England game you mention always a moment ago a Nikken based on the respect you know you the game live and I it was you got from the best players in the world the struggling to string a few passes together. You get as well in the late football but the passions they're not trying it's more of a case of the going for it they don't really care so much if they're making mistakes that form the not game title or money supply non-league football the players down the West is. A monk still be another margins 50 quid and I think that's probably a stretch that they play for the love of the game and you can say that when when they're out there the kicking a ball about that often form doing it what it means the world it means the world for the small army of fans that they've got that as well that's the thing I mean United say when the Champions League the Premier League the they win the f.a. Cup It means the world to all their fans but when the knock which count is late it still means absolutely everything to the fans of West it's been child always goes on to win it this year but just before I let you go perky Let's talk about the very top or devnull Milli football because I don't know about you know I'm getting quite a thrill out of say Michael Steele top of the National League I saw it I am not sure seen the schools that I saw don't allow the horns of a absolute by a goal to know oh that they found such they went off the field or been doing things this season they haven't been staying long in Saint or anything like the been grinding out these victories by the goal they went down to it's r.k. a Few weeks ago saying right down the bottom just about they went to guys Leon over the same right down the bottom last week one by 2 goals to one Jimmy she win a game of football by as long as she somehow managed to get over the finishing line and that's what Michael Steele that they were in at the moment the just doing a north. Only you know but it actually got to be. The way to play you know when you come to. Have a safe trip oh Michael still those intrigue me Steve Clarke remember when somebody Michael Rowe was the manager and I was over there to do an interview with the because of where they are people most issue they've got loads of money because it's just around the corner press period old really adds some Me and he's own inimitable way says if we so post be so rich. You know put down we'll blow high street sponsored a match pull Well we know we did that and he says you know you see he created we don't disrespect anybody before him but the real bounce around us field. Quite the same what we were when we last year they are on top of the conference you know the there's always something about the you know they never seem to lie down and go to snow which is great and they'll get quite close to going out of business and financial couldn't you know been a manager because if you're City if you're Pep Guardiola and you say look at me jigsaw and I'm missing 2 pieces that full black got the 2 most expensive pieces a jigsaw in the world if you're just asking. To square one at the start of every season because you don't know if you've got any money to offer anybody you come to yeah I think a lot of the play was based around the win play last year with Danny Rowan McRae down the road went to Ipswich McChrystal went to Barry it was only short lived the things that wrecks him know so again non-league like he said before about Comet Ison of see United the sulphide lads will be doing if they have your rebuilding seems almost done you will if you want to you know obviously city for years just got to it now with Liverpool used to win the league in just up to one of the season no only teams in money there's obviously a core Captain perhaps but it just turned over a player. Some time so that's also a credit to these managers of what you have to do with recruitment. The. Music from the. Football if you want to get your voice in the mix. Minutes we are going to hear from. We're going to talk about whether he thinks. I think you will. And if you talk about. Time. Travel. Down the road we have the football traffic from. Home games today also the summer. Be busy on approach. Elsewhere on the m 60. 5 because of broken down between. May remain after that. Because of another broken down time between change and the road 15. Is the inside lane again. There was an earlier accident on the m 60 a bit further along around 16 Pendlebury 17 press which but that seems to be easing now and also Kings way through with. Still closed and slow Because been axed in this happened between tell the road and molder road traffic is being diverted a long road to get around that particular incident but if you can. Give us a call please I want 993649 Welcome to get inspired by the so here are the 26 miles thanks. Sport is looking for the 20. 1 song. If you know. Them now and they could be walking down the red carpet at this year's Sports Personality of the Year awards. On. Slash. B.b.c. Radio just as. I. Write let's say as we move towards a conclusion of sports program head to the lofty heights of 2nd place. Rather well under the stewardship we're going to hear from Paul Cook himself in a couple moments time but Paul Roll is our we can report or watches I'm home. We visited before today's. About sustaining the challenge do you reckon now you've you have seen Paul Cook in action you've seen the resources. You were expected to be right in the mix at the end of the season absolutely even though it won't say that at this stage understandably does play things down but you know they've won 6 out of 7 now the 2 points behind Shrewsbury they're the joint top scorers they've got the joint tightest defense and the downside is they've had 4 red cards a season I gather Paul is making no complaints at all about that he must be worried though about the disciplinary record for Wigan Athletic but as I say this is their level as it were at League One and I think they can at the way they're playing very well at the moment but the spirit is good as well the team spirit is good and that's something we didn't see for the most part last season certainly under Warren Joyce It was the same when they went down from the Championship 2 seasons before that and. As a say they just need to maintain this but hey Jim we're only a little. Recalled way into this he said I know but you know what it's like Paul it creeps up on you we talk about the new season and then all of a sudden you are to call the way through and then it's Christmas and you know and I know and Steve knows suddenly the season sure out from under you and we are down to the wire and if you rather hopeful. That number red cards pull out we're going the physical side down on the pole not necessarily I mean there in the day of the season it was I was surprised that Callum elder was sent off one of the red cards was after the game by Ryan Culkin of rather naively. Arguing the referee and Dunkley was sent off against Portsmouth when the opposing centerfold went down a little too easy I think you'll be annoyed at the statistics in that respect but overall I think he must be pleased with the way the team is performing although he when they they when he doesn't get overexcited when they lose he doesn't get depressed and I think that's absolutely the right frame of mind to be in but the 700 we can fans who conquered the way out of this ground a little 45 minutes ago highly delighted they've made the trip today so if your talk about Wigan and whether you think they will sustain the promotion challenge them I know it's a bit early to be talking about promotion certainly made a very very good start you still got juiced about time to get yourself in the mix on 0161. 5 and don't see the instant I would talk about this I want to hear about this be part of it pick up a phone call is 01612202 pull to double 5 you say before Steve you know Polk well. If experience. He's always seen whenever I listen he talks a lot of sense to me yes a lot of enthusiasm he's effects use to be around. You can tell he loves football. Bummed around him he's built up over the years. He's got warningly and Richard Sunni's added with Anthony Barry you still young. But I think obviously. That can be quite hyper because the law of the game is that they're winners and I think that's what the team made about Lee Evans not quick and that's possibly why he's getting sent off for tackles and not because he's so competitive that's possibly why is playing in League One I don't think Morsi think he's the same but the you know the so competitive on the sideline to so competitive on the pitch I heard Keith ill before the game you can only imagine we're going to so competitive Monday to Friday in training and that's what the best teams. Definitely breeds that encourages it because that's what you like I did say he's very very fair as well as look you know for and we were good enough to be him in a much that he was very very humble afterward so that made me realize he got to class about him well if he wants to win and take your eyeballs out for an hour of at the same time afterwards very gracious it brings me about players what you think about this lot what you think about that you can tell he's always thinking about the job in the game and obviously that's great but I have to say behind the scenes David Sharp. Growing like it like players do they grow with the job Jonathan Jackson who seems to be on a real firm sensible set in which allowed all the things just to just to take care of itself on the field and if you've got good players who want to win of a chance of doing it to me you are steeped in Wigan and you know loads of people and you know as I do from all the years of covering football when you walk through the door of a club you can have a feeling never an atmosphere about the place some part of it is the thoughts of the club you know when the club feels right when you walk in so we can just feel right at the moment absolutely and it didn't undermount and it didn't under Warren Joyce It certainly does now I mean it's always a good thing I think when an old player comes back as manager and he always works for Wigan in the shape of Gary Caldwell in the shape of. Paul Jewell and in the shape of Roberta Martin is simple cook is maintaining that tradition but I suspect and today's it's surprising they say 300 game as a manager has it's like a row. It was for a while in northern. Ireland and also he was a manager of Southport for a while so he's clocked up normally goes well I think is a very promising manager I love the way he he fronts up things when things are going they haven't really gone badly for we can but I think he's been absolutely magnificent so far but the same my thoughts today are with one of his great assesses in MacNeill died at the age of 85 a man who brought the likes of Peter Horton Frank Corrigan John Butler No warden Joe he can to work in athletics in the Football League days in non-league football he brought in Dennis Ray's Billy Sutherland Ken Morris. Slugger as he's known and Jim Fleming and when he went to Chelsea's assistant manager he identified these players Kerry Dixon Steve Clark Pat Nevin and David speedie had a great eye for talent and sadness today at the death of a funny enough Jim is 1st victory in the Football League on a Saturday while Neil November October 19th 78 if against Scunthorpe today's opponents Well I have to say I was soon as you mentioned a few years ago Paul it's probably more years ago than it feels like but I. Do we can and Steve's dad Fred would have no night the people that the man from St Bernard solved the Gore slogan modest Now there is you know him Steve look at oh oh oh gosh you thought about me is a carrot sort of people he is I saw his debut for we get him and we'll sign we know what you are Elvis Presley in person or should be I mean he never gets old a light ray Mathias they don't seem to age it's all Gary robotized stuff a port in the Arctic I would have thought both great guys as well but Kenny Maurice's a fullback came from town his dad you'll remember was Johnny Morris who played for Manchester United so he final them Yeah absolutely and they I think trances the kids both the City and United. Newspapers actually for the almost the advertiser the circulation manager agr. Character arrived in $6069.00 sadly a little too well once they made the football labor a player with their combine harvester a tackle at fullback which used to happen in non-league football and I'm sure it still does to be honest with you put one of those people want me in Paul you know you've met him don't you you do and I mean as a one of those great characters that were going after that he had of the s. And you need people like that because to be honest with you after the Premier League days a lot of the the big names will pass the Alston and people that go home to their homelands but people who still stick around from those great days like Kenny Morris and Denny stories who are still around these days and attend the matches know as well who. Brought to Wigan Athletic Northern Ireland and got called up into the night or not he was the model he was the man from to ban and the age of 26 in a game against Portsmouth in 969 a pretty terrible tackle from Derek Derek showers and he never played football again and it was such a sad thing but funny enough no went on to manage manage otherwise he managed to Ashton town in Ashton to make you feel he also managed the supermarkets in inherently and I know as I always said to him that's where Dave Whelan started after said no it's a bit before your time Steve these poor people are told we go big. You can see why you choose huge soft spot for we can cause. We're talking about serious characters here yeah and it's great obviously to start you know with the news but obviously on the same day you would talk about we can progress in at the top of the league just slightly sure of the top because of Shrewsbury We've also gone to the style to consult about whether they are to apply for reelection and to go into the Football League and you mentioned sort of players like Tommy go and others so we're sad day for. Us to just go down memory lane primitive listen it's just gone 6 if you want to make a point you can still text or tweet you can even it's maybe just squeeze a phone call but you're not to be quick on your 161. Double to triple 5 if you text and double 3 Start your message with. Pomo give you the credit or you can tweet p.p.c. . P.p.c. Support so we can and they are 2nd in the table courtesy of one of the terrific away went. With goals for burn and for a visit of ascending off day one on the road post thoughts of the post the sense enough to pass effect on the game where you felt we were just we started the 2nd half really well we scored a goal. Chances and possibly score more goals in this and the last changed the dynamics of the game make no mistake about it but a very good side to some very good players all over the pitch very experienced in management like myself no we're not young managers no more than. Enough to place the tightest defense in in a division of a 2nd Thyssen a division some people at a kick off my expected to be full of drama but that was the complete opposite but we're quite open with our play and we will always go away from home and tuck you know we genuinely feel that's how we like the game to be played every manager's got his philosophies on football so we think we'll always be involved in games and 2 teams want to engage in a game you know very strong side to many teams over the season and when. We would obviously had them in the league today gives us flip Philippon and we were headed in the mobile I think. Such a long way to go in itself we get excited we also going to towns are excited 66 wins in 7 that's that's very good fuel to go and it's football did you know you that you always a minute or 2 away from a disaster we've all been there but we've got a good group of players and you know what we can open any vision which is due to the quality of caliber of play we've got today we felt enough time we should have been in the lead you know we played well enough and what you think we would win is today on the reflection of the game to try if it goes down stand in skipper want to turn and finish from him I'm. It's just an accident. As a professional you know not such not not is he just a good player he's just as good a lot and I think when you get good players it always more the better when you get goals like that you see what it means to the supporters who travel to get in great numbers and we've obviously had the disappointment of being delegated pull you know at the minute allowed to do the best to give the supporters of the left that makes them believe in. Sending off any complaints about. You know he's done wrong by me players we all make mistakes and not just in football in life and it's. Absolutely magnificent player. From the mistakes. That his teammates he will be the last person in you know football to do the. Southend get a bit of rest and preparing to refer to where where we just keep. Challenging you know the very strong team another good manager but a manager more and more experience the games that all equally difficult in this league will enjoy tonight as we always have a common preparing of.

On the Romit in Wigan one away 21 at Scunthorpe Michaels feel absolutely by a goal to nil to stay top of the National League in the National League North disappointing day for Seoul thought they were beaten 3 home by lowly Lemington if you couple that with the fact that top of the table. To one person not a great day for Bernard and Jarmo morning Darlington one stop or one north better be 3 f.c. United 3 and in the trophy hide lost mostly worn Droylsden Drew Trafford were beaten. More as did Atherton call you this and as did. Up north and next up then. Through the next 2 I was with music from the album but tomorrow. And this Saturday with a pick of the football. For Richard what is going to have his goal is going to occur so put the scoring. Full rather of a lighter. Because the other end of the corner from the left hand side and he's just past the outstretched left of the Josh Nonis and that goal has come up on the 58 minutes Rochdale No rather me I said was. His date. With the captain's armband for the day he cleared off the top of the very goal a turn in Spain. Past the former keeper jokes. Scunthorpe United. With this. Penalty. But. Thick skull of the same is it. Hard
