Asking Latics fans not to over react is like asking the people of Oldham to come to games. It just won't happen no mater how much it frustrates us

Can't buy a goal at the moment. Apart from the major cock up for the goal i think we were good and deserved better. We gifted the the win. We need to stop playing a man just behind kuqi, no matter who it is it just doesn't work.

Stars tonight on our march to glorious failure. Another massive game already! Especially as it looks like the stars have most of their team out...

 

Play you twice in three games BJ... Could only be one point behind you in 10 days!

We're gonna grind out three 1-0 wins . We've got no chance of making the post season, we still have to play the canucks four times and the sharks 4 times. thats 16 points lost already

Massively unfair that.

Perhaps, he wasn't poor but he didn't stand out to me. It was a very frustrating game though so i may have skipped over his good plays. I'v been fairly pleased with him over the last few games where he's been playing out of position.

As for the Clarke deal someone mentioned above, i don't think we need him back, if Diamond isn't going to be out very long Tarkowski is more than adequate as a back up.

We didn't play too badly today, but frustration is the word, there were so many instances where players made the wrong decisions with the ball and it cost us. Scapuzzi looked clueless unfortunately. Every time he got the ball he went down a blind alley and had no idea what to do with it. Kuqi again spent most of his time coming deep to get the ball and so it was hard for him to get into scoring positions. I'm yet to see anything from Smith that shows he is capable of playing at this level but i have patience for him, it's a big step up he's taken. Adeyemi was average at best, Parker had a bit of a stinker apart from a couple of nice moves. Cisak and Wes were both good, Simpson looked one of our more likely threats as per. Don't have much too good or bad to say about Taylor, didn't really mind him taking that shot rather than squaring it. Lee was good, Black wasn't bad which is more than i usually have to say for him. I was really impressed with Tarky today, thought he was our best man after Cisak. M'voto was solid. Morais played a decent game and responsible game, no complaints about him today.

I haven't thought much of him to be honest, wouldn't mind keeping him if we can afford it because he's another option but i won't be too bothered if he goes

It's been quiet in here for a while now, how are we all feeling at just past the half way mark?

You don't need do answer Big Fin, we know how you're feeling. Traded Perry yet?

Elton John? Really? Surely he'd be playing Wembley not BP?

Any of them for me as i wouldn't go and see any one on that list but i'm sure there are lots of people that would.

I made a mistake on the topic, I mean Latics

lol i know, and the leafs aren't doing too great right now anyway. As far as Latics, yes it's getting a little concerning in the league. The cup runs are great but we need to make sure we're committed to the league

err no the leafs are doing alright

I don't think he can be blamed today, he had no support and had to constantly come deep for the ball effectively turning our formation into 4-6-0, i don't rate Scapuzzi, his first touch was poor today

He's been diagnosed with the early stages of lymphoma, terrible news. Apparently they don't know how this is going to affect the tour they had planned but the new album is going ahead as scheduled. Get well soon Tony!

The moment we scored and the two minutes of having the lead made the whole thing worth it for me, you live for those moments as a football fan and they mean a lot to us who don't get to see many of them. Totally agree that the score means nothing, very proud of our team tonight. Lets get to Wembley!

They'l end up in the Evo Stick premier league like halifax and chester. Not a bad league really, my second team are on their way to being relegated from it

I bought one, a late christmas present to myself

How this man remains the captain of our nation is completely beyond me

I'l be buying one, i'm happy to show off my nauseating man love for Dickov

Me and Dave are due our annual visit to Phoenix I think, once I'm back from London. JSS/BJB you're more than welcome to join us if we can get it organised.

I go every week anyway so let me know if you're going. The bloke who sells programs is a Latics fan as well. He always wears strange hats. For a moment i thought you meant Coyotes, which is a bit of a trek.

Been a bit quiet in here recently, is it because you guy's can't watch any games on TV?

First royal rumble of the season on Friday BJ! I'm going for another last second Selanne winner ;)

Yep, looking forward to it, although i have to say i'm not confident on this division road trip. Whilst we've been winning we havn't been playing well at all and any team really worth it's salt should expect to beat us at the moment

Stuff like this is why i wanted Jamie Benn on my fantasy team

Terrible defending but still awesome

Well the Stars have gotton off to an unnervingly good start going 4-1-0 and winning our opening 4 home games for the first time since our cup winning season. Is it a sign? No, but it's encouraging. Also, this fantasy league is pretty good

Stars v Coyotes last night was the most boring game of hockey i have ever witnessed. Two teams built defensively with little offensive threat, both trying to grind out a 1 nil win. Awful to watch. On the upside my fantasy team are second

They've been doing the same old shtick for years now and it's boring. It's become a almost parody of it's earlier years. certain bits are worth watching but on the whole it's a poor product and that's why they cut it down an hour

I didn't see it either, i heard mention of a dickov VT but it never appeared
