Not on official site for me?

It took ages but it's just appeared for me

He wasn't sacked for this either. The sacking process was already started when the club found this...

Yeah, the article contradicts itself - states we sacked him for it then a couple of paragraphs later says we'd already sacked him and "were later informed...". Basically 2 completely unrelated facts, although it may have dissuaded him from appealing. 

Is this the right room for an argument?

Not much chance to consider this but let's go for:

Queen

Gazza

Bruce Forsyth

Clive James

Frankie Muniz

Jimmy Greaves

Ian Brady

Shannen Doherty

Prunella Scales

Cliff - 3rd June

EDIT: Forgot a captain and Cliff

That's awful news mate - can't imagine how hard that's hit you, especially after your new start. Wish you all the best pal, keep fighting

Terry Pratchett's gone apparently. He was on a few lists.

He was on mine.....last year

Not picked up a winner yet - shocking week so far.

Horses to avoid tomorrow are

13.30 - Vautour
14.05 - Sybarite
14.40 - Ma Filleule
15.20 - Zarkandar
16.00 - Un Ace
16.40 - Champagne James

Haha, that's a brilliant article. "rash, emotionally-charged" is a lovely way of saying he lost his head and dived in

Sly - if it's true that this signing is by Corney and Owen as per press reports and that LJ wants no part of it - I would chamge my vote to NO - always trust and back LJ football-wise but not directors interfering with football matters - what on earth does Barry Owen know about football?

About as much as he knows about PR...

No idea of the sources for the Independent piece but that's some assault on Johnson's personality - digs at his strength of character and communication skills seem very harsh and personal

Right, initial list for this year - may be subject to change

Sam Simon (cheers pukka!!) - Captain
Mohammed Ali
Fidel Castro
Pele
Ian Brady
Clive James
BB King
Bruce Forsyth
Jimmy Hill
George Bush Snr

Spartacus - 30th June

If the incident had stopped after the first retaliation then there's no issue - two alpha meatheads trying to intimidate each other and Hohaia must have known he couldn't throw an elbow without getting a slap in return. To then pin an unconscious bloke down and try to smash his eye socket in is a dick move and deserves jail time.

County 1 - 4 Latics (HT: 0-2) Forte 5716

Swindon 1 - 2 Latics (HT: 1-0) Poleon 6125

I always thought people exaggerated how backwards SYP were until a few years ago when one tried to physically drag me onto a train to Manchester at Doncaster station, despite me being alone, sober and with no colours on...oh and explaining several times that I live in :censored:ing Edinburgh....

Preston 1 - 2 Latics (HT: 1-0) Forte 12346

Latics 4 - 1 Orient (HT: 2-1) Clarke Harris 4325

He's c.30 years old. I was in 6th form with him at Hulme. Not spoken to him since school but he was sound, very intelligent (head boy at Hulme from memory) and a massive Latics fan. I've heard sporadic updates on him over the years and seems to have done extremely well for himself. Just the kind of person we should be getting on board to move the club forward in my opinion.

EDIT: To echo longtimeblue, considering we were at school together that CV makes me feel like the world's biggest waste of space!!

Do I detect a note of resignation in ending mid-table?

I thought I'd use a meaningless, end of season game to try out a new tactic. Turns out it won me points for the half time score but it might need some refining for the title tilt next season

Gutted for him, even more so after seeing Lee Clark celebrate like he'd just made it 2000 games unbeaten

Latics 10 - 0 Notts County (0-0) Rachubka 10,000

Latics 2 - 1 Sheff Utd (0-0) JCH 5016

Balls. If only I'd stayed in the beehive..
