  1. If I invented a time machine one of the first things I'd do would be to go back a couple of weeks and put a poll up on here asking for latics attendance predictions for Bristol City away. Then I'd buy an almanac etc.
  2. Apparently we were long ball merchants under Joe Royle.
  3. But he's not one of the main first 11 surely? Winchester is. So you've said we're one short on the first team but then said you'd replace a sub. Although it's a moot point really, there will always be better players out there than we have.
  4. The Forte one at Doncaster looked hugely soft on tv, but I was right in line on the day and it looked a definite pen. As we don't get massive slow mo close ups at this level you can't really say with certainty either way.
  5. That's exactly how I read it. It's a positive article if anything, there are contingency plans in place if the inevitable interest in form players becomes something more concrete. No talk of us looking or having to sell.
  6. 5th vs 8th and Lancashire derby vs 10th vs 18th with no connection at all. Makes sense.
  7. Or what if Wilkinson scores a hattrick tonight which gives him a confidence boost to go on and score 30 goals for us this season?
  8. When I see a Latics result I'm happy if we've won and gutted if we've lost. Are those emotions reversed for the anti-JPT lot?!
  9. I'd agree with Mr Tulsehill. If you need to use a spoon then you just aren't skilled enough with a fork. Was it an Italian waiter, or a waiter in an Italian with a believable accent?! I've got Italian in my family a generation or 2 back and we don't use spoons. You'll be telling me he advised eating pizza with a knife and fork next.
  10. Not sure about your first question, but I'd love to know about Coventry and how they kept within the limits based on those crowds. Their club shop must have been always well stocked with beach towels.
  11. That's exactly what it'll be. Probably where Ebanks-Blake joining came from and that twitter-verified signing of Leon Clarke in the summer.
  12. Our annual trip takes us to Frankfurt next Easter but Eintract are away at Bayern Munich unfortunately. Will be local lower league games instead.
  13. We go every easter to a different city and Union is definitely the best match we've been to. Brilliant atmosphere.
  14. What I like about how we're playing is that we're on this unbeaten run with a lot of clean sheets without being an overly defensive team. We're looking to win games. Often when you have teams that are defensive, become hard to beat and don't concede many goals it's quite a jump to suddenly change that style to try and score goals. Seemingly we're not all that far off and maybe a tweak here and there to tactics or 1 new player might do it, rather than a disruptive change in overall style.
  15. Their second was pretty much top corner but because of the angle would have hit the middle of the net. Plus the power was incredible.
  16. Paul Murray scored a cracking long ranger against someone sometime.
