This would certainly not happen if City were still in the Championship / League One

its awfull news, i thought something was amiss when john gilder wasnt at b.p. on saturday, but they had reporters at other games like stockport. i will have to send them an email as i have been a big listener on radio manchester for what seems like forever. if a goal is scored you hear about it first from john gilder. if this isnt reversed, then i will not listen on saturdays, as i am not interested in united city or bolton or wigan. i am quite crestfallen.

I nipped into town at dinner and popped into WhSmith as there's not alot else to do in Rochdale. I noticed Colin's book on the shelf so had a gander in the index for the bits about Latics. Not alot in a pretty heavy book. 4 pages or so.

 

The first part is when he was manager of Notts County and he mentions that something was said by some West Ham about how they are just in the back and here for the party, or words to that effect. He says it really riled him and before the game he laid into his players and demanded not to end the season with an anti climax and a whimper.

 

It worked and he goes on to mention how the entire ground is celebrating as the news that Wednesday are 2-1 up at Boundary Park and 'the title is won'. There's a big gasp as Oldham equalises before the ground once again erupts as all of Upton Park thinks the game at BP is over with word going round that the final whistle had indeed gone. Warnock congratulates the manager and gives a cheeky consolation about losing that day. Then he tells of the horror that was Upton Park as the ground became distraught at the shock news that the whistle had been for a penalty to Latics, it had been scored. The final whistle had gone and Oldham won the league. He said it was purely because of him that we won the league and that he's told Big Joe many times in the past that it's all because of him and that no other team bar his Notts County would have been West Ham at Upton Park that day. (having seen wednesday against us that very day, i'm pretty sure they would have)

 

In the next part. He mentions that he didnt have a good time at Oldham. He got on very well with Hardy and Alan had told him he would be getting an extended contract. He says it was the final game of the season away at Grimsby where he realised that wasnt to be true. He says how Jepson scored and he looked at our fans in his words 'going mental' and then to the directors box and not one of them cheered - one infact had his head in his hands. He then told his wife that he figured he wasnt going to be offered a contract.

 

He also mentioned about getting relegated saying it wasnt his fault. That we were already doomed by the time he'd arrived and no one could of saved up from the drop.

its a wonder the shop assistant didnt say to you, ARE YOU JUST READING THAT BOOK OR BUYING A COPY. LOL.

People really should read the topic first. Summat like 50 million jokes have already been repeated

guy in a chinese restaurant calls over the waiter. ERE MATE THIS CHICKEN TASTES RUBBERY.

 

 

FANK YOU FANK YOU says the waiter , WILL PASS COMPLIMENTS TO CHEF.

I used to until my mate got a car where he could control every window from his door, he thought it was funny to see me panic,

electric windows killed it for me lol.

i would say its a good idea if you are playing well generally away from home. bit like showing off really.

i think you may find gregan and crossley are the problems in the dressing room.

gregan more than likely as he comes across as being the big i am,and i think shez has his hands full with that.plus the younger players will be too scared to say anything to him as i imagine he can be very overbearing.

i may also be talking hornswaddle,but something aint right in there.

dont think they are scared of him, someone in an earlier post said they lipread eardley telling him to shut up etc. in the macclesfield game.

My mortgage is with northern rock but we are stil s**t

if they go bump, does that mean you wont have to pay your mortgage back?? hmmm worth a thought.

No, I'm not talking about Sean Gregan - it's a comment about Hazell from a Spireite on the Chesterfield fans' message board.

if it prompts gregan to move his ass a bit more , then it cant be that bad a signing. LOL.

thats just rubbish - wot da ya think then - odds on we draw leeds

 

when is the next round??

-------

surely we will draw hartlepool, esp after the recent result.

leave him alone - he's quality and we should back him rather than alienate him from the club

 

ricketts / davies / hughes
