Ref perhaps wasn't too awful but the assistant on the building site side missed the most blatant handball in some time for me!

Latics doctors are volunteers who just help out on match days as I understand it (having shadowed one of them whilst in the process of applying to Med School a couple of years ago) - great gig for a fan but doubt they'd be involved in medical assessments of new transfers!

No, just someone getting sick and tired of idiots like yourself crawling out of the woodwork every time we lose... I really would love to know why you bother following football at all, you only ever seem to moan about it.

If you ignore the defeats and losses we've won like 1000 games in a row... Extrapolate that out and we should be Champions League winners soon enough! ;)

.

Are you sure you and Elvis aren't the same person? I just can't comprehend 2 different people having this level of stupidity...

Get lost and support United then. Idiot.

Wasn't really the point I was making - naturally Palmer, Royle, and even Groves are remembered very fondly by those who saw them and deserve their place. I just think we should have had a better cross section across time since anybody below a certain age only has one of 'their' legends on the list

I'm sure that Groves was fantastic but means that as a fan who missed the PL days, I've only ever seen one of the legends (and frankly only heard of 5 of them)!! Would have been nice to have Shez purely as a hat tip to younger fans?

Everyone on here is a :censored: and I hate you all

Should be someone from this millennium I think, anyone under 25 or so would have only ever seen Eyresy off the current list (have literally never even heard of a few of those!!!) - torn between Shez and TP myself.

Shame you never applied for the job, being such an expert...

Would you please stop pulling figures out of your rear end?! I'll say it again: according to your (bizarrely high) points target we need 1.16 points per game - as in slightly better than a draw a game. It's this bloody hysterical overreaction that I can't stand - if you believe so much that the team is and we're destined to go down then please just go support someone else.

Even if the (nonsensical) 50 points thing was true, we'd need 43 points in 37 games, which is under 1.2 points per game. Not quite so bad when you put it like that, eh? I think you've somehow managed to forget that you can draw in football... We're quite clearly not gonna go down - there are far worse teams than us in the division - our start has been awful by all accounts and yet we're doing better than eight other teams! Stop moaning, it's bloody September!

Sure, but I reckon that a simple spell check would sort this shocker: "Joe Cooper has been explaining why he is swopping the training ground for the lecture theatre after deciding to quit Latics for a return to full-time education." http://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/article/20130913-cooperinterview-1051484.aspx#F1MA4wjO7R8VuWdc.99 Edit - not to mention "Cooper, who intends to continue playing football at university and may be also non-league" in the same article!

Honestly I think you're being a little generous in saying it was a deliberate pun, but that's beside the point - I run a website for a bloody Uni Society and even I can understand how important it is to be giving out the right impression on what is a major selling point in the digital age. It doesn't take much to run things through a spell check! I seriously wonder what the webmaster does all day given that he's apparently too busy to read back over what he's written! I think this one probably crosses the line between errors and sheer pedantry, but Americanisations do upset me, "Latics' fans intending to pay their first-ever visit to Rotherham United's New York Stadium on Saturday, September 14th are strongly advised to buy their tickets in advance. "

Not an error as such but doesn't the headline "Johnson on television date" make it sound like he's been on Take Me Out or something?

They should pay expenses (surprised they didn't, doesn't seem very fair that!!) but treating ball boys as employees?

I understand that he's not a professional athlete, but it just looked like Agbonlahor ran into him and he fell over to me... Why does it not surprise me that GA is now getting death threats on twitter? :P

SC deserves a lot of credit for what he's done for the club I think, he's been fantastic. However, should Koukash agree not to move us out of the Borough I certainly wouldn't complain about Latics benefiting from his cash...

Surely ballboys and mascots are volunteers? I'm all for paying interns, but surely to God these people don't count?

Apparently inability to spell is a job requirement...

Not sure how our pen wasn't given, but have sympathy for the ref so far as theirs go - I do agree that it wasn't, but from ref's angle it would certainly have looked like one!!

Works brilliantly when it works... Sadly it's been broken more than once when I've been trying to use it! Worst case was when I was trying to get to Victoria to get a train over to Liverpool - they only announced that the tram was out of commission after I'd bought my ticket! Said it would be valid on 181/182 bus instead, but apparently didn't bother to tell the driver who wouldn't let us on! Ended up on a 59 after spending about 4 hours persuading the jobsworth driver to let me on... Not the best experience!

Exactly why simply bankrolling a team into the top flight isn't always gonna be a success... Think I heard that United have sold the most tickets ever for one club at Wembley, this is just gonna be embarrassing for the plastics!
