lovely and positive well done mate

Eh? Unless you hadn't noticed you Pollock, this is a thread about fish references, sorry if you didn't get the joke.

I'm sure Shez will Findus a replacement for the Right Back Perch, if anyone can fillet he can, he has done it before when Eardley has been away with Whales.

Bearing in mind Eards is suspended, I'd expect it to be Kelvin.

Looks like we will get battered again then!

This lad might just be the answer, looks like he has an eye for goal as well.

"Feed the Fish & he will score!"

after yesterday think a PLAN A would be a start !

I think it was more like the F Plan as that performance stunk.

What about 'Send in the Clowns' as sung by Barbra Streisand

I'd try a calculator instead of your Hong Kong book of Kung Fu next time mate...

Actually smart I meant 2 goals in 3 league games.

Using a calculator as you suggested I worked out that in the League Cup Dean scored 0 goals & the rest of the team scored 0 goals v. Rochdale 0-0 (pens don't count) & Burnley 0-3.

Also Smalley was subbed at Half Time at Rochdale as a tactical switch because Davies got sent off.

He was also subbed at Burnley after 67 mins.

In the FA Cup I worked out he scored 0 away at Cheltenham but adding up the rest of the team's contribution I worked out we actually scored twice as we drew 2-2. In the replay I didn't need my calculator as I could work it out in my head! He got 0 again! & so did the others.

Today's rarely wrong Chron match report by Tony Bugby posed a very interesting question.

"Deane Smalley was handed a rare start, his first since the FA Cup defeat against Cheltenham Town in mid-November, and he hit Athletic’s winner"

"From the resulting corner, the ball was cleared to Smalley who sent a screamer into the top corner from outside the penalty area. Given his ability to hit the ball so cleanly, it is a mystery why he has found the net only twice this season."

ermmmm well that certainly is a mystery? Lets see I'm no rocket scientist but if I just consult my Hong Kong book of Kung-Fu could it be the fact that this was his first appearance since mid-November & that prior to last night's game he had made only 2 league apps (12sub) 2 FA Cup & 2 League Cup? hmmmm Could Be!

Yes surely 2 goals in 3 games is just not good enough, no wonder he lacks self belief.

I know Freddie played at Wembley but I Can't remember if he ever scored a goal?

Prick!

John Thompson: Latics Leg end

Oldham apps: League 6 (sub 1)

FA Cup 0 (sub 1 well 2 mins at Everton)

League Cup 2 (sub 0)

Oldham goals: 0

Oldham Broken Noses: 14

Good luck John!

Blue Square Premier?

I was having a clear out at home yesterday when I found a piece of paper. All that was written on it was the following :

 

Port Vale

Mansfield Town

 

Stalybridge Celtic

 

Blackpool

Luton Town

 

Cardiff City

 

Leeds United

 

I have absolutely no idea why I wrote these names down or how long ago I did it. However, I'm sure that there must be a Latics connection. Anyone got any ideas?

 

It's been bugging me all day!!!

Is it a list of clubs Darren Byfield hasn't played for yet?

I wanted to name our little girl 'Sheridan' but I changed my mind as I didn't want the missus screaming 'Get Sheridan Out' in the delivery room.

LaticNik on the otherhand, have you got any kids?

Even better than the goal itself was the fact that we actually scored from a corner.

How often does that happen?

No wonder he ran the length of the pitch to celebrate.

There's only one Mark Allott...only one Mark Allott.....

He used to be :censored:e but now he's allright..... walking in an Allott wonderland! Lol

Why have 100's of coppers on duty but only have 1 of them directing the traffic?

The Great Escape? It would have been quicker to dig a tunnel in the time it took to gettaway from the Galpharm. Is this the worst ground in the country to get to & from?

There could be a lot of congestion around the ground on Saturday.

Might be an idea to take this, I spotted it in Aldi, Galpharm Decongestant Spray?

Welcome back Craig! I hope you continue your goalscoring form & settle back in quickly. As Shez points out the whole point of a loan is to get players fit & back in form, thats exactly what has been achieved. Now everyone needs to get off his back & get behind him & the rest of the team & show them that this club & its fans are worth staying for & taking them up where we can play alongside & beat massive clubs like Blackpool, Bristol City & Doncaster.

The guy who bit the bullett was West Ham's company secretary Graham Mackrell.

The whole business smelt a bit fishy to me.

Shez Out!

Fancy loaning out the frost covers at this stage of the season to local non-league club Stalybridge Celtic. It beggers belief! Surprised Doncaster haven't tried to hijack the deal though?

Celtic, who have not had a home fixture since November 11, are feeling the pinch financially so are desperate to beat the freeze so that their local derby against Hyde United goes ahead on New Year’s Day (3pm).

Not many teams will go to London Road this season & come away from Fratton Park with a point?

My mate at work is a County fan (he has seen every game that Davies has played for them so far) last night he texted me at 22:01 "U can have davies back. He is a bone idle lazy c**t"

I got the feeling he was not very impressed with his workrate?

What about Short Latics careers that you wish could have been even shorter than 1 game?

Andy Goram v Cardiff (nuff said)

Ian Ironside v Grimsby (I thought it was Raymond Burr nuff said)

Also whatever happened to Lance Cronin? He came on as a sub for 5 mins? v Chasetown in the FA Cup
