Good evening, good evening! Welcome back to Catchphrase with me, Roy Yacker. Before the break we saw Uwe lose all his prize money with a few incorrect decisions, but that's the way the game works. Grant Holt, Andy Delort, Oriol Riera and everyone else in the audience, you're all back in play for the next round - The Pre-Christmas Elimination Challenge! Who's gonna lose out? Let's find out right now...

Progress With Unity Podcast #106: Rosler out, Mackay in & mini Middlesbrough preview

'Ullo Dave, got a new gaffer?

So I guess nobody expected that one, eh? England beating Scotland 3-1 and not a Shaun Maloney free kick in sight… shocking. And to make it worse, they’re closing the Tudor House!

Well, we don’t normally have a lot to say during these international break editions (and you know that's a bare-faced lie), but regular listener D Whelan of Poolstock has kindly given us all something to talk about. That's right, Donny Whelan from Wigan Road has sent us a ten-page document of factual errors and mistakes since PWU's inception some two-and-a-half years ago...

(Enough of this barminess, just listen to the show.)

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Adam, Rob, Greg, Mick, Dan and Paul T

This week's chat is centred around the appointment of the new gaffer, Malky Mackay, whether you agree or not with the decision by Dave Whelan to give the Scot the reins at the club, he is now the man in charge of team affairs.

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the appointment and this is debated by the regulars plus Greg Farrimond who joins us fresh from the press conference.

Contents: Intros: (so much for an) international ‘break’ (0:00); exclusive: Statman sacked Rosler! (1:30); a surprising appointment? (6:20); shock pseudo-soccer presser starring Greg F (10:20); Statman speaks & Paul’s Mackay factfile (20:00); the youth vote (28:00); number one candidate? (35:30); ‘too good to go down’ (40:30); WAFC Fans Advisory Board (47:00); Middlesbrough mini-preview (49:20) including ‘predictions’ AKA wild stabs (50:50)

Progress With Unity Podcast #105: Bolton review

Rosler the Goat is about to embark on a wild ride.

Mr Whelan has spoken: Rosler shall survive the international break... probably. But will it be lonely this Christmas, without Uwe to hold responsible? Potential scapegoats must file their applications right now, for it will take PWU at least a month to negotiate the forest of admin - who will be the source of seasonal jokes on those there small time weblogs? Listen now and know.

The crew are back in the studio this week, no game to preview with the international break but still much to discuss

We start off this edition looking back at Friday night's defeat to Bolton at the Macron, an embarrassment is how Rösler described it, he wasn't wrong.

We have a listen to Rösler's post match interview and try to come to terms with what is going one at the Latics.

Dave Whelan gave the manager his public backing also this week, was he right to? We appear to be split.

Contents: Hasty intros (0:00); Bolton post-mortem including less than enthusiastic Statman (0:45), 20 seconds of positives (1:20), tactical scapegoating (6:30) and Rosler’s post-match apology (9:00); Magical Martinez (17:25); trusting the chairman’s judgement (day) (20:20); how long does Rosler have left? (29:30) including Chairman Mick asks: what would you do? (31:40) and bring back Jackson and Atherton! (41:00)

Progress With Unity Podcast #104: Fulham and Brighton reviews, Bolton preview

Aha, so *that's* where Albert Crusat went... (c) Paddy Patterson

It's only taken us 104 episodes, but Progress With Unity have finally coaxed an away supporter into the cauldron that is Studio PWU! Boltonian Stu is joined by Wiganer Adam and the regular panellists to discuss Owen Coyle, Coyle, Krispy Coyle and Owen... and you'll be very pleased to hear it is not the Michael variety.

Get ready for fireworks! Quite literally, since we couldn't get them to stop letting them off while we were recording. Oh well, at least you'll have something other than us to listen to when the conversation inevitably drifts towards matters non-football. Not that we ever let that happen, oooh nooo.

Around the table this week: Barry, Gareth, Adam, Rob, Mick, Dan and Stu

The crew are joined in the studio this evening by dad and lad duo Stuart and Adam, Stuart is a Bolton season ticket holder, whilst Adam is a Latics season ticket holder, a tense time in their household this week!

We start off this edition though with a look back at the pulsating draw with Fulham and the disappointing defeat away at Brighton, what a shocker of a season this is turning into.

We have a good chat with Stuart about Friday nights visit to Bolton and get the lowdown on Neil Lennon, squad rotation at the Macron and who we should be wary of.

Contents: ‘Explosive’ intros (0:00); (fire)cracker of a Fulham review including inflammable Statman (2:30); Brighton rock n’ droll (14:00) including sparks will fly: resting Fortune for t’Friday showdown (19:40) and Mick’s penalty box knocks (28:00); depressing standings update (29:00); T’Classico: ‘impartial’ Lancashire derby preview (31:00) including Spot The Lineup (45:30), bring Ali back (48:35), RefWatch (53:20) and pyrotechnic Rosler’s Last Stand?
