A quick quiz to take your minds off the shambles - no looking them up.

 

Which countries are the following teams from? All have played this evening in the Europa League.

 

1. F91 Dudelange
2. FK Qarabag
3. RZ Pellets WAC
4. LASK
5. Oleksandria

I knew one of ‘em

Been away...….but I think I know the answers:

Luxembourg/Azerbaijan/Austria/Austria/Ukraine

It's only because I have a Ukrainian/Austrian background.

Goalkeeping coach and Failsworth lad.

Anyone know him?

I will say one thing for Urko though. He has surely the biggest pair of shorts seen on a Latics player since the 1914/15 Div 1 runners-up team.

Found in Gerrard's locker.

I was talking to George Williams' dad in my local this afternoon who said George's leg is fractured and that FGR are looking into making a complaint into the tackle with a view to getting the ref and/or EFL taking retrospective action.

I have no idea about the rules but is this a viable proposition?

Having not seen any of the friendlies apart from dodgy high(low)lights so I cannot comment but what SHOULD our starting 11 be AND what WILL our starting 11 be?

Baxter wasnt fit but was still our best player last season.

I can think of at least 5 who were ahead of him as best player.

Best bit part player maybe. 

Signed this morning according to Latics Twitter.

Who he?

Do we have a best 11?

Thanks for the offer, but I struggle with mid-week matches.....Cambridge away will most likely be my first game but I will definitely catch up with you.

I think there would have been takers for the event. The Vloggers and the Birkett's of this world would have lapped it up.

 

From my point of view, I've been to about 5 now and they all say the same. Ain't wasting my time with another, whether it be Banide or whether it was an English fella. Did think at the time it was a strange move to put him on a stage answering questions when his English seems sketchy at best (admittedly from the one interview I've seen*)...

 

*YER ASSESSMENT OF YER SQUAD...

I'm sure Roy would help with any translations.

Correct Michael.

 

Although, to be fair my comment was aimed more at the lack of basic ability of the foreign legion. 

Still a tad unfair, we've had more than our fair share of domestic dross., plenty of whom were signed by domestic managers.

Gonna be a busy lad Murray,not only having to teach the kids but also many of the first team to play football  

So you've no faith in our new head coach and his assistant, I take it?

To be fair this could be a way of channeling resources into the first team - he will be first team manager/coach/ pitch side ornament before the end of season and still on youth team wages 

Bluddy Hell...….you mean he doesn't get youth team manager wages???

Same as every year really, if we have a bad bit of weather it will look like a bog again, needs some major work which is at least five years overdue.

The problem is beneath the subsoil. The ground is built on seriously dodgy Victorian landfill which doesn't allow for natural drainage. Water 'ponds' on the landfill.

I feel that Al's believes you can pluck Edmundsons out of thin air when we all know thats highly unlikely, for every Edmundsons there are 20 mcnivens it's a flawed tactic. Especially as we have no youth coach or set up. It shows another lack of understanding and a extreme naivety.

There is a youth setup, it's just not got PW in charge. You don't think a couple of dozen spotty teenagers are sitting around playing on their phones?

Can I add boring to your list. Are u not old enough to let this obsession that me and shuck are one, go? What would u like me to do, to disprove it or for you stop banging on about it. We both love shez, that's pretty much where the comparison ends.

You can add whatever you like, sunshine but I'm far from the only one who makes such comments and nothing you've said thus far has made want to change my stance.

Would you care to comment on the question of the scholars now?

Well two halfwits make a whole! Sadly I'm not even sure your a half. Sad grumpy old man!

Is this an admittance that you and the other halfwit are one and the same? 

Sad...no

Grumpy....yes

Old.... getting there.

Now, about your comment on the kids.....on the basis of what experience exactly do you feel you have greater knowledge than the Lemsagems and the Academy staff?

Zzzzz

Aww bless......must be very tiring for you having to think for two halfwits.

This isn't good its pathetic!  He thinks he will just keep pulling Edmundsons out and selling them for a profit. There is a lot more to it than giving someone a contract. You earn a contract, not just given one.

Do you believe this crap you post or is just to get a reaction?

I'm guessing the Lemsagems have a bit of experience in spotting talent at an early age. 

Had a quick look at Swansea's first team and there are 3 gks listed so no chance of getting on the bench there. At least here, he stands an outside chance of a first team game, i.e. paintpot trophy.

On loan as second choice is an odd one?  Surely  Woods is No.1. 

That depends on his position in the pecking order at Swansea. He may have been 3rd or 4th choice in which case, a year at BP could be considered a career progression or career killer.
