Johnny and Andy delve deep into the fortunes, and mis-fortunes, of two of the biggest clubs in world rugby league. Wigan warriors won all 4 trophies on offer in 2024 but have already lost one of them this season and look to lose another... but will they go on to win the grand final?St Helens won the WCC in 2023 but its been far from their 4-in-a-row triumphs for Paul Wellens's men. Do they have any chance of success this year? do they have a coach next year? and what has happened to them in our own opinions.

In Episode 24, both Hull clubs suffer home defeats. Hull FC were beaten 13–6 by St Helens in a performance where they failed to create any real attacking chances. Over at Craven Park, Hull KR lost 14–8 to Leeds — only their second defeat of the season — missing the opportunity to pull further clear at the top with Wigan also losing.

After a short spell as a punk rocker, Limahl found fame with the band Kajagoogoo after responding to an advert in a music magazine in 1982, where the then named Art Noveau were looking for a new lead singer. The following year he left the band – but quickly went onto find his own success as a solo artist with his hit “The Never Ending Story”. His early ambitions, growing up in Wigan, were for a career as an actor and he even toured in production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Lee & Jamie breakdown the historic 16-10 victory against Wigan in SLRD15

At first I thought it was somebody standing there having a cig and I was seeing the cigarette light up as he smoked. A little orange light, so I slowed right down and I realised there was nobody there. And I remember thinking who ever it was must have been really tall? At the point where I was thinking this through I got this feeling to look to my right, I did and I saw this pitch black figure in the shadows standing next to the style. I turned to it and just looking at it but it looked like a dog standing up. https://www.facebook.com/DebHatswell/ https://www.youtube.com/@deborahhatswellbbrinv https://www.tiktok.com/@deborahhatswell?_t=ZN-8wZb7xdYibm&_r=1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/deborah-hatswell-bbr-investigations-cryptids-paranormal-unexplained-events--2840337/support.

Lee & Jamie welcome Neil Davies to the podcast to preview Wigan (H), this coming Friday night!

We're going up north – or actually, the north is coming down south to Bristol. You've probably clocked by now that there's been a massive Northern Soul revival in the city, so we thought we'd unpack what it's all about.This week, Neil talks to Levanna McLean and her mum, Eve Arslett. It started when Levanna began doing Northern Soul dances during lockdown. Her mum filmed it, they pushed it out on socials and it blew up. They've featured everywhere: from BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour to the New York Times.They then set up the Bristol Northern Soul club night. It kicked off at The Assembly in Old Market and has recently moved to the Eastville Social Club – an historic working men's club in an Ikea car park.So, why is a scene that started in the sixties taking off in Bristol now with a whole new generation? We try and unpack all of this...Bristol Northern Soul on HeadfirstLevanna McLean

Brian van Winkel has aroused himself from his slumber and he is suffering from a severe case of builders' crack but has invented the successor to MTV so all is well. Do you enjoy making music?

The rise of Ai videos has got the guys worried (again) so Richard asks the machine what Brian thinks about Pink Floyd...and he makes a huge surprise confession!

Stuart Maconie – broadcaster, prolific author – has a brilliant and original new perspective on the Beatles. His latest book With A Little Help From Their Friends identifies the 100 people who had the greatest impact on their story, from the inner circle to bit-part players – schoolfriends, girlfriends, managers, muses, support acts, advisors and exploiters. It's immensely entertaining – and revealing, even for obsessives like us. Look out for these in particular … … memories of his Mum taking him to see the Beatles in Wigan when he was three. … the Shakespearian supporting cast – “we know the Othellos and King Lears but there are a lot of Rosencrantz and Guildensterns” such as Marsha Albert, Melanie Coe, Pablo Fanque, Mr Mustard and the night with the poet Royston Ellis that inspired Polythene Pam. … villains of the piece who might have been misunderstood like the Maharishi and Allen Klein. … what Derek Taylor shouted at Peter Blake at the Q Awards. … the full extent of the Beatles' American merchandise catastrophe. … the “moving and spooky” sensation of standing on the spot in Woolton where John and Paul first met - and its repercussions. … the Sliding Doors moments and why no other band merits this kind of depth and detail. … the hoary redundant old saw about John v Paul – “guerilla genius v slick vaudevillian” and how Peter Jackson's Get Back made us all fall in love with them even harder and deeper than before..… the regrettable question he asked McCartney about Gerry & the Pacemakers. … the tragedy of Jimmie Nicol – “being a member of the Beatles, even briefly, was the nearest equivalent to going to the Moon”. … the impact of Paul's life with the Ashers on the band's intersections with art, theatre and poetry. … how the ‘Oldies But Goldies' album broke the band beyond the Iron Curtain. .. why Penny Lane is like a Play for Today. … and the greatest song the Beatles recorded. Order With A Little Help From Our Friends here: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/with-a-little-help-from-their-friends-the-beatles-changed-the-world-but-who-changed-theirs-stuart-maconie?variant=54870051815803Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Hosted on Acast.

Fresh off France's Six Nations win, I sat down with my old mate Shaun Edwards for a rare, wide-ranging conversation.This isn't just an interview — it's two lads from Wigan catching up after decades walking very different, but strangely parallel paths. Both of us came up through rugby, through hard graft and old-school values. But over time, we've both had to evolve. As coaches. As leaders. As men.We talked about it all, from the early days and the systems that changed the game, to fear, fatherhood, grief, and what it means to lead with heart, not just tactics.Shaun opened up in a way I don't think many have heard before. And for me, this episode felt special.We get into:Why Shaun hates losing more than he loves winningWhat fear can teach you and where it can fuck youHow he sees leadership and masculinity nowThe shift from hardness to softnessCoaching at the highest level, and what really drives performanceIf you're interested in what makes a great coach, a great team, or just a good man, this one's worth a listen.The Making of a CompetitorGrowing up in Wigan, and early life lessons from his dadWhy grief became a driving forceThe difference between rugby league and union — and what it taught himCoaching with FireThe early years at Wasps and WalesLessons from working with Gatland, Farrell and coWhat still motivates him after all these yearsA Brother Beyond RugbyThe early days of my friendship with ShaunWhat we've learned from each other and where our paths crossed againThe moment he started embracing softnessLeadership that LastsWhat players really need from a coach todayThe evolution of Shaun's leadership styleWhy presence, empathy and intuition matter more than ever

The muppets look back at Wigan v Wrexham and TNS Women v Wrexham Women. Cover the latest Wrexham and Cymru news and look forward to Two massive Wrexham Easter games, at home to Bristol Rovers and away to Blackpool.

Very rarely does a goalkeeper make four assists across an entire career. Ederson has achieved it this season alone. The Brazilian racked up his goal-providing quad in Man City's 5-2 win over Crystal Palace, marking this as the most successful-ever season for assists from goalkeepers in a single Premier League campaign. Fellow Brazilian Alisson returned for Liverpool to remind everyone why he's the best in the world in a 2-1 triumph of West Ham, while all manner of questions continue to be raised over the goalkeeping dilemma facing Manchester United. In the EFL, pro debuts were made by Luke Hutchinson (Crawley, on loan from Bolton) and Taite Holtam (Gillingham), Sam Tickle reached 100 career appearances at Wigan and Luke McGee played a huge role in Tranmere's remarkable comeback in a League Two basement battle at Accrington.

Enjoy a quiz? Andy in Wigan and Jason in Bury St Edmond's certainly do, how did they do?

1:40 -Reflections on Sports Psychology and Personal MemoriesSimon Moore emphasizes the growing recognition of psychology's importance in sports, noting its benefits for both players and staff. Michael Wright engages Simon with a series of questions about his childhood sports experiences, prompting Simon to reflect on his early admiration for Mick Shannon, a footballer who inspired him as a young Manchester City fan.5:45 Reflections on Historical FascinationsSimon Moore discusses his early interest in Alexander the Great and how it led him to consider studying ancient history. Although he did not pursue that path, his fascination with historical figures continued into adulthood. Michael Wright adds that he is more interested in modern history, while his wife is captivated by the Tudors, highlighting the diverse historical interests people can have.8:06- Memorable Sports Moments and Team PrinciplesMichael Wright prompts Simon Moore to share standout moments in sports, leading Simon to mention the playoff final against Wigan and his admiration for Klinsmann's playing style at Spurs. Simon describes Klinsmann's exceptional positioning and foresight on the field, which left a lasting impression on him. Michael adds a humorous note about Paul Dickoff's obscure quiz trivia related to his career.12:00 -Understanding Psychology in Sports and Corporate SettingsSimon Moore emphasizes the role of enjoyment in sports, citing examples from interviews with players like Schmeichel. He outlines his extensive background in psychology, including his work with animals and his current focus on helping sports teams and businesses understand audience needs and team dynamics, particularly in relation to motivation and communication..19:10 -Understanding Decision-Making in Sports and BusinessSimon Moore elaborates on how human decision-making is often driven by emotional responses rather than logical reasoning. He categorizes individuals as either risk-tolerant or risk-averse, highlighting how these characteristics influence their engagement in training and performance. Moore emphasizes the importance of tailoring communication to meet the needs of both types of individuals for better outcomes.33:25 -Navigating Change and Ego in Team DynamicsMichael Wright and Simon Moore explore the psychological barriers to change within teams, particularly the clash between long-standing members and newcomers. Simon points out that both sides often operate from a place of ego, leading to resistance and conflict. They suggest that exposure to new ideas and collaborative problem-solving can help bridge the gap and foster mutual respect.39:33 -Team Dynamics and Performance Feedback in Sports AcademiesSimon Moore expresses concerns about the time and effort required to adopt new practices in sports academies, highlighting the difficulty of juggling multiple responsibilities. He notes that effective team dynamics, characterized by clear communication and a united front, are crucial for building trust and confidence among players.

Meanwhile, Manchester City face a huge game in the Champions League as they take on Real Madrid in the second leg of the playoff round, 3-2 down from the first leg in England.

Sammy is joined by Dan Cooke on the Thursday Club as they take one last look back on a win against Wigan. As a reward for surviving a trip to the north-west, Fulham have drawn Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup and there are mixed feelings. Premonitions of a majestic victory over Man United at Old Trafford is the optimistic option in comparison to the perhaps realistic expectation that Fulham will yet again succumb to a frustrating 1-0 defeat. The road to Wembley is never easy.In part two, Sammy and Dan look forward to a tough fixture against Nottingham Forest at the Cottage. Assuming that Forest players and fans have recovered from an 11pm finish in Exeter, Fulham will have to change their mentality to face a Nuno side that have had an incredible season so far. The question still remains of whether Pereira or Smith Rowe should appear on the start sheet and if Muniz's February form should be given a chance to flourish.They also answer some of your listener questions. Should Alistair Mackintosh be the main focus of Fulham fans' anger or should they be looking further up the business ladder? Is Castagne's form faltering a little too much? And, Sammy and Dan make their head vs heart predictions for Fulham's final league position and FA Cup run.--SHOW-LINKS:If you enjoy Fulhamish, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.

Fulham secured a place in the fifth round of the FA Cup, away in front of 2,000 travelling fans at the Brick Community Stadium. Jack Collins is joined by Elizabeth, Dan and Jack Kelly as they look back on a job done against Wigan to keep Fulham in the competition.It was not the smoothest of wins over an average League One side but two Brazilians saved the attacking show in the north-west. Two Muniz goals mimic a similar February period for him last season which will hopefully see a continued purple patch to last the rest of the season. The team reflect on similar star performances from Cuenca and Sess as they appear in Silva's heavily rotated starting eleven, and there is a mention of another poor performance from Fulham's substitute goalkeeper, Steven Benda.In part two, they answer some of your listener questions. Should Sess be considered for the left wing? How does Berge remain so press-resistant? Who would they like Fulham to draw in the next round of the FA Cup? And there is a return to the Alistair Mackintosh debate after the travelling fans strongly demonstrated a desire for change.--SHOW-LINKS:If you enjoy Fulhamish, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.

After a quiet transfer deadline day evening, Sammy and Jack debate whether there perhaps should have been a bit more action from Fulham. Should the club really be re-signing a 36-year-old Willian and should we be seeing the entrance of the right-back that Silva asked for?The Premier League takes a break this weekend to make way for the FA Cup fourth round and Fulham make the trip to the north-west to face Wigan. It's not the most cheery of stadiums to visit as Wigan are in the promotion places for the 'most miserable' fans in League One, despite their pie fame. Sammy and Jack consider whether there should be some rotation of key players, especially Robinson and Iwobi who are facing relentless game time. It should be a fun tie at the Brick Community Stadium that hopefully sees Fulham begin a 2025 FA Cup run.In part two, they answer your listener questions. Is the fan base a little too grumpy at present and is some perspective needed? Have Fulham finally broken their third shirt curse and exited the slump? And Scott Parker rears his ugly defensive head again as Burnley eye-up the EFL record for most clean sheets in a season, but is he really that bad?--SHOW-LINKS:If you enjoy Fulhamish, please consider contributing a small amount monthly to help pay our costs.
