  1. Maybe Jagger has left the Stones and joined the Bunnymen?
  2. There was a report on the BBC website yesterday that 3 girls taking part in the race had their boat rammed by a marlin. They plugged the hole in the boat with an empty champagne bottle, which I thought was pretty cool! Just shows the hazards that Frank and all the other competitors might have to deal with, quite apart from the physical challenge.
  3. Whoever he is, he seems to have a distorted view of reality, at least when it comes to discussing Latics.
  4. Team: Man City? And you want a fee? Is that to pay your FFP fines (some hope)?
  5. BO was guilty of a few things, but I would hope defecating in the stands wasn’t one of them!!
  6. Great post As many of us have long known/suspected, we are the biggest underachievers in English football over the last 50 years, and here’s the sad confirmation: http://www.skysports.com/share/13041555 So yes, as you say, enjoy it!!
  7. That’s a big call. The table never lies - we’re 6th for a reason and it’s surely not because we’re inferior to the majority. Maybe you’re referring to our style of play in which case as L1F has said, at the moment MM is working with what he’s got and thankfully is producing results. Three wins in a row (which we don’t manage that often!) - if we can keep that run going these players will grow in confidence and will get better. When were we last able to celebrate being at the top end of a table going into the New Year? Enjoy it and keep the faith!
  8. Correct, it seems. https://www.nottinghampost.com/sport/football/nottingham-forest-mull-of-kintyre-2410393
  9. I only tried rowing (on water that is, not Concept II) once in my life, at university. So back then I was young, and pretty fit - played football regularly, squash, went running. I still remember being physically exhausted by it, the hardest thing I ever tried, and I was in a boat with seven others! The thought of rowing the Atlantic single handed, at 73, and doing 50 miles in a day is just mind boggling.
  10. On a similar note, I always think that the way the pitch at Old Trafford falls away at the ends is unnecessarily risky. A player going full pelt down there could get badly injured.
  11. When the song came out originally I wasn’t impressed by it, but once we adopted it it became indelibly associated with home games for me. To this day when I hear it I’m transported back to Boundary Park in the 70s !
  12. I didn’t realise bulb can be used as an insult! I’m not taking sides between you and mcfluff, but that post had me laughing!
  13. He was vastly overrated by some. Just because his successors have been mainly poor, does not make Lee Johnson a good coach.
  14. Yes, but in Tricky Ricky’s day there were no smart phones and no social media. Assuming it’s Reid’s first offence (with us) then I’d be happy to see him fined and back in the fold, on the understanding that if he commits another then he’s out. But if Mellon does freeze him out, Reid only has himself to blame.
  15. Who knew that Grinch was a Latics fan? We are blessed beyond measure.
