C.O.JONES

Ah yes, Humble Pie with the excellent Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton. I seem to remember that they only had one hit though.

I'll keep my hopes up and say none.

Unsworth OUT! Enough said.

Good post. Let us say for example that we got promotion at some time in the future with Dumpty Umpty (which is not going to happen) what type of football would he produce in L2, same shit, different league?

Perhaps Dumpty Umpty will play him at centre half?

He likes the pies

4-4-2 or 4-2-4 or Dumpty Umpty gets the push.

You can throw Hope in too, can't keep him just because he runs about a lot. Puts a shift in but not that good.

Agreed!

You don't play wingers with 4-4-2, you play wingers in 4-2-4 like Joe Royle used to do.

That's definitely 8 at the back then, Fondop on his jack jones up front and Tollitt further left than a political wing. Don't forget about a footballers I.Q. If brains were gunpowder most of them wouldn't have enough to blow the gaiters off a battle dress budgie so stick to 4-4-2 a system most of them can cope with.

Agree that Fondop will benefit with coaching from Jeffers but he needs to be more mobile and less like a post box. What he would benefit more from is somebody playing along side him and I don't mean wide, I mean more like Frankie and Stitch used to play, one off the other. As for formation, with this squad it has to be 4-4-2.

No I'm obviously not.

On chances created yesterday it should have finished 5-1 to Chester, funny really as that was the Latics formation, I'm not counting midfield as we didn't have one. Every throw in we won went backwards and usually ended up with Norman who then rolled it to Maynard who then passed it sideways for someone to hoof up to Fondop who moved like a mobility scooter on a cobbled street. Lost the ball as he was on his own and when Chester had the ball we never at any time pressed or won the ball back. It was a shambles from start to finish, shite tactics and formation and to add insult to injury, Burgess (who should be playing for the under 12's) was added to the debacle.

Perhaps you've had worms for the past 56 years?

4-4-2 with these players but Gardner plays sideways and too deep and the boy child Burgess couldn't beat a carpet so get rid of both.

Wow, I'm surprised it took so long for Sunderland to find out that the championship was way above Winchesters level, poor Shrewsbury.

Neither of whom could pass the ball as well as those previously mentioned.

Alan Groves-excellent, Simon Stainrod-brilliant, Bobby Johnstone- outstanding. The first player I saw at Latics who reminded me of Bobby Johnstone by passing the ball to a forward fast enough to beat the offside trap on a consistent basis was Ozzie Ardiles when we played Spurs in the cup. The next was John Sheridan, not seen one since.

Her dad got fined a fiver or some ridiculous sum for not getting her to go to schoo.

Don't kid yourself, him and Chappy had some rare friday nights out.

Thank you and bloody well done to Frank and all the people who helped.

Talking to an ex Latics manager last week and he seems to think we will be relegated again, didn't give me any specific reason why though.

Worry not boys and girls, Salford will be played off the park. Whelan will win all the tackles in midfield, Stobbs will rule the roost, and Hope will get 6! Wow, I'm sure I just heard a pig fly over our house, or was it a fat lady warming up?

Could we claim that a couple of ours were concussed before they came on?
