  1. What is the significance of the big banner? My commemorative mug tells me 1995 was the centenary.
  2. My version says that Sharp wanted to extend the trial with a view to signing but Hyppia got a firm offer from Willem IV in Holland, where his best mate played and took the firm offer
  3. Might as well wheel out Sami Hyppia even though the way I heard it was very different to Sharp's version of events
  4. Have any of these players moved forward in ther career to any significant degree?
  5. Good points, well made. It is just a symptom of a wider malaise. I'm trying to recall which team it was earlier in the season who were having a great run but when the cup came round they couldn't play many of their loanees and an barely recognisable side got walloped.
  6. Good grief. This used to be a a place for debate. It's the system I'm having a go at, not Latics use of it. I find it hard to feel any great sense of connection with a team including so many players who belong to ther clubs. Just a point of view - mine.
  7. I said "possibiity" - it appears to be your reading ability that is ridiculous. Add Budtz, Ferreira and Jones to that list and you have six "possibilities"
  8. Getting beyond a joke. Can't blame Latics for trying to take advantage but the possibility of having more than half a team belonging to other club's makes a mockery of long term team building.
  9. It might not be as in your face as pink but wouldn't a skin cancer charity outfit be appropriate? Or even testicular cancer.
  10. Not being a connoiseur of symbols I'll have to assume you took my first point seriously. Good grief. Sencond point entirley serious though. Easy to argue that the trip saved a point.
  11. Another game without a goal! Trust Maher will be giving Fleming his next appearance fee.
  12. If you think the credit crunch has done Latics a favour I suggest you cast your eyes over the (non) building site and reach a very straightforward conclusion
  13. When Lee Hughes joined the club there was a lot of comment about how he would be involved in community work preaching the evils of drinks and rugs. Has that been happening?
  14. Darn it - I really put my foot in it that time
  15. A carpet according to the Chron. And not just any old carpet - a 100% nylon carpet. Good grief.
  16. Girl at work rates him; comes from the same village in Wales
  17. I'd be willing to put a reasonable bet on b*gger all for the foreseeable future. There's a bit of a problem in the financial world you know
  18. Because it is impossoible to police and too many have abused it in the past.
  19. It might have been ultimately disappointing, it might not always have been scintillating but at times more than half the team has been made up of players who have come through the club rather than the journeymen here for a year or so before moving on never to be remembered. I'll settle for that
  20. Seemed clear to me but myabe its been a long day! At the start of next season assuming we are still in this division and someone said they could guarantee that at the end of 2008/9 we would be promoted or relegated but gave no clue as to which would you accept their offer?
  21. OK, we might still make the play-offs but if we don't would you accept a guarantee at the start of next season that we would leave it at the end withou any clue as to whether that meant up or down?
  22. Talked to him at length. Terrific bloke who took a big money cut to give pro football ago. His thoughts on Brian Talbot were particulalry "interesting". Thoughts with him
