What happened with Gregan that kept him out of the Wolves tie last season? How does it affect anyone we might sign?

I heard something about Blackpool being in for Wellens.

Woosh

Yeah like at Liverpool, where they support the team???? They only reason why latics is becoming miserable is because we dont support the team... and actually I am pretty loud supporter myself.

Fantastic - something has always gone on this way so why should we change it. Tell that to the Japanese.

Hmmm ask a psychologist and ask them whether they believe abuse to be acceptable in the work place and how they would think it would affect people. Also if you have one work place where a person was bullied and abused and one where a person was supported, the latter environment would likely be the more sucessfull. Also where do you think people would rather work at? If I was Ricketts, Porter, Wellens, Eardley, Kilkenny, Bertrand etc, I would have to think twice of whether i want to work at a club like ours. We all have a go at Porter and Wellens for the money, but do you ever think that they may have not been happy. So many have never said anything in support apart from when a goal is scored, but will criticise at the earliest moment when ever a good move doesnt result in a goal. I was angry after the Wallsall game, angry because it has become miserable watching latics if things are not going too well. I question whether its worth paying the money to watch latics and think it is worth it. However, sitting with some of the idiots that I have to put up with, im not sure if I want to.

Come on Ed, what do you expect. We are playing a premiership club away in the first meaningfull game since we got relegated from the premiership. Peoples main reason for watching football is to see good footballers play good football, hence more people go and see Everton than us and more fairweather types will want to go and see us play Everton than they will Walsall. People getting irritated by the fairweathers need to be realistic and should be glad of the extra income.

I could see plenty of seats that were spare in all stands.

Well said Garcon, Eardley was ask to be provider a lot today and had little support in front of him. Forest came for a draw today and cancelled us. As for them having a crap midfield, they kept hold of the ball better than any other team we have played, though didn't do anything with it. The fact that they are top of the league and didn't have a shot on goal speaks a hell of a lot. What is the difference between them and us. The ability to make subsitutions and bring on good players even when they have players already injured.

How longs Liddel out for??? It wouldnt surprise me if we didnt see Liddel in a latics shirt again

Do you honestly think that would do us any favours?

Gord said we should have had a stone wall pen about 2 mins before the sending off, maybe that was to level up a bit.

I like lazy journalism as it means people are not taking notice of us. We don't want to be a scalp.... as yet. Lets get into the top 8 or so first.

My mate managed to blag tickets to see the Foo Fighters at Camden underworld last year. Only 300 people saw them. Luckily I was on my way down to London to see her that same day, so I got the other ticket . Also saw them the next day at Hyde Park and met Bill Bailey, the bird from the Zutons and Nick Olivetti. All it cost me was a fiver donation for both nights

Uriah Rennie is a cheap lousy faggot!!

I personally think it will depend with Clattenburg we get. He has been terrible but I think he can be good as well.

Definitely – well for the first time in years a group of us have got organised and bought all out tickets together so that there will be 7 of us generally making arses and irritating the expletive out of all the fairweathers.

Top idea I think. I'll be singing and making a general arse of myself whereever I am (i know im upstairs but not sure wear) probably irritating a bunch of fairweather fans.

If the BBC say something then it must be true. Surely if we had a problem all us regulars would have noticed and you'd also expect us to know a lot more than a BBC reporter who is on a day trip to the grim north for the day.

If it was a millwall board then it really isnt worth bothering. They are something else.

Except you are better placed if you live in Manchester, Stockport Leeds Etc and the council tax is cheaper elsewhere.

I find it an interesting thing really. He is talking about Oldham fans, so why can we not be a named group. You don't have to an "individual" for it to affect you.... though maybe I am clutching at straws. It was proven in some research project recently that people are more likley to believe gossip than the truth (then again that could just have been gossip).

I think that unless Hewitt can specify what he is on about in meaning violent then maybe we all should look at getting legal advice on this mattter. If that is not libel, then what is. We have had enough problems in this town caused by ignorant attitudes and I think that the club and its fans have been unfairly hit by such things in the past i.e. race riots etc. It is obvious that Hewitt is trying to “spin” this situation to make it sound like the Politicians of this town have been forced into change through the acts of a thuggish minority. When of course it’s the acts of a democratic majority that has thankfully managed to progress the stadium development. The problem we don’t want is to have a London Hack turn up with ideas of thugs/hooligans etc and then link it back to previous troubles in this town in the manner we expect of tabloid press i.e. why let facts get in the way of a good story.

And in 5 or 6 years time have a big moan about how there house prices have gone up.
