  1. Walk into any bookies and they should take you up on that bet!!!!
  2. Just logged on to my betting account with Corals and the ESPN logo is next to the Latics v Liverpool game!!!!! Might have been added to the schedule by ESPN but they haven't got it on their web site yet. anybody heard anything?
  3. Do you think the odds on a draw should have significantly shortened then ??????
  4. Nah, can't see it! It would have been on the official site
  5. I queue from 5:30 am and got my tickets at 9:05. They are not restricted as they are on Open Sale!! If you are in the Main stand I suspect that the 2000 or so tickets left will be in short supply when you get to the window!! I did hear that we have an option on another 3000 ticvkets in the upper tier but that the club would have to buy all 3000 up front from Liverpool as they beleive that they will sell out anyway!!!! Good luck
  6. I'll be there, with my eldest + I'm bringing my boss (a Wycombe fan) and his lad!!!!!! That will be half the away following I reckon
  7. "Overall I think the comments so far about a 'paper thin' squad is about right, so that injury, suspension of a loss of form from a couple of players and we have nothing to compensate for it." Not sure if the paper thin squad hasn't already been tested. We have so far this season lost Furman, Mellor, Morais, Parker and Black through injury and Mvoto for a games suspension. I would have thought that Furman, Black and Morais and possibly Parker would be considered starters and we have coped quite well and indeed got better as we have gone on. The first few games were not brilliant but we have got going now and more importantly we have seen a set of strikers who can score goals. In comparison to the start of last season where we were served up a mixture of Tounkara, Feeney, Kelly, and sometimes Taylor up front we now have strikers who are scoring Kuqi, Reid and Smith albeit Reid has been relying on a free shot from 12 yards up until last Saturday. If you add in Josh Parker who I beleive will be a star for us this season. The Kuqi factor is something we haven't really witnessed since Wijnhard came to us in my opinion. Not only a goal scorer but an old head who will / can bring on the younger, less experienced players not only in technique but in attitude as well. I think dickov has played a blinder to get Kuqi here and was prepared to wait as long as it took to get him! Well done Paul. The midfield to me is the weakest area where the "paper thin" comment is justified and this is where we have suffered this year already. Furman is a big miss and I don't think we have adequate cover for him. We have seen too many games this year where the midfield has been taken by the scruff of the neck straight from the kick off by the opposition and it has taken us 20 minutes to grapple it back. Rochdale, Stevenage spring to mind at home. There have been games where we haven't managed to get it back at all Colchester for example. Wesolowski is a decent addition and i think that when the Furball comes back those two will form a decent partnership. Centre Halfs, generally stronger than last year with the Hazell cock up factor removed. There isn't much pace there but was there even when Hazell was partnering Mvoto ?? Kieran Lee has been strong and consistent in my view with the left back slot again proving difficult due to injuries, although Mellor has proved that he can do the job he isn't a natural defeder and we need him to be more creative up front. In summary I think our squad whilst smaller than last year, is generally stronger and has the ability to be more consistent than last year. I'm going for a top half finish with a sniff of the play offs a possible. Up the Latics.....
  8. For reliably good speed I would recomend Virginmedia Broadband. I've never had any trouble with speed in Royton.
  9. That's how I understood it too Gaz. Unless £20m quid comes in from another source (extremly unlikely), other than the sale of the land that BP sits on, then the new stadium would have to be built elsewhere! It's a simple equation unfortunately.
  10. Does anybody know what the prices are for the Blackpool game on Saturday. I've tried to find them ont he official site but can't
  11. OMG....I hated that programme!!!!!!! Bad memories
  12. A large part of the old BAe buildings is let out to Kitbag.com, part of the Findel chain. I doubt that this site is a viable site anyway as there would be demolition costs to incur before you could start.
  13. Just had a mail from an Accy fan at work who says: "Apparently Cisak wasn't at the 1st day of pre-season training today, a lot of people think he's finalising a deal with your lot." I think the fact that Stephens has gone may allow compensation to be made avaialble to Stanley... Could be a good addition in my humble opinion.
