Would love either of them in our team tonight ! Was there for Wylde's hat trick at Rotherham and was a great finisher - but has to be Stainrod all the time, best player I've ever seen in a Latics shirt and a real showman

Simon Stainrod away at Blackburn?

Happy if stays like this

This would be exactly my team as well I think

Replacement bus is only between Liverpool and Birkenhead should only add about 20 minutes on a Saturday, train ok from there on to Chester

First time back at BP for over 3 years, was really looking forward to it - what a let down. Won't be back again in a hurry

Hoping to get to my first home game this season so it better had be!

I'm on the Wirral as well - thought I would be the only one (am in Heswall)

Couldn't have gone better, Chesterfield and Colchester losing, Shrewsbury and Fleetwood drawing with each other, Doncaster playing.

Worst time was November 1980 when Simon Stainrod sold to QPR

Yes I was in Chaddy that day, still can remember it

He will be Prince of Wales before he is King - of the United Kingdom, you idiot. Not been a King of just England since 13th century !

Good call,for me too

Redfearn please

As a Latics fan living on Wirral made my season too ! Puts our own poor season into perspective, so let's stop all the moaning. Fair play to Ronnie Moore, how ironic his team sent them down

I was there,1979 I think it was. It was on his debut when he scored from an almost impossible angle no one else would have had the audacity to try. What made it better was it was at Ewood Park where we never won and probably haven't done since. In my 45 years of watching Latics this goal gets my vote every time!

Definitely Stainrod v Blackburn

Let's hope today is the day he finally signs and we can start thinking about the rest of the team and an important match on Saturday. To add my "two pennies worth" I originally was against Evans signing but have come round to accept it more now if it happens. This is not a sexist comment but merely an observation that my female family members and work colleagues whilst obviously not condoning any of his actions without exception believe he should have the right to ply his trade again and if that is at our club so be it. I have supported Latics for over 40 years and won't stop doing now, I hope to be around to continue to do so long after he has gone elsewhere !

Remember for the power of Beckett's shot which nearly broke the net

Draw for both is best,but if have to prefer winner - MK Dons and Barnsley

Still remember the 5-0 because was so different to our terrible record there before that.Think their manager was sacked straight after the match?

Funny looking back I've been watching Latics for over 40 years and 2 of the 3 best goals I've seen were scored by Simon Stainrod,his debut against Blackburn away (1979?)and home against Preston (the following year?) If only we had a player like him now crowds surely crowds would come back to BP.The other best goal was Adam Griffin's on Celebration Sunday
