"2 tiers = ambition (good)" "1 tier = bad" What did happen to Corporal Jones?

I thought you meant Craig... You know, the one who should have hoofed the ball away from Mark Hughes foot in the last minute of the FA Cup semi in 1994. I thought about telling Craig that as we watched Manure tonk Newcastle in the Charity Shield while having a pint in the Cobh clubhouse after the pre-season friendly in 1996, but I didn't!

Right, now that Bob has highlighted his country's love of Latics, how about an article on fans based in the US. Maybe some pictures of a US-based, ex-LA Lakers cheerleader Latics fan with one of the players on his holidays... Oh...

After reading what "Countyboy" said on another thread: http://www.owtb.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...0&start=720 , I'm voting Gannon on every poll * from now on so he can be ripped into by our fans before a player is signed or a ball is kicked... * cos I know TTA will base their appointment on these polls...

Good point. I remember a user on here setting fire to his Leeds shirt and posting photos of it on the web after that happened...

Can we add Dickov to the list too?

That reminds me, has anyone thought any more about my "Happy Clapper" section (at BP/Failsworth/wherever) idea?

Surely you're not suggesting we, the fans, are being allowed to choose our manager, are you? That would never happen again, would it?

Good point. Anyway, I think the webmaster should have a say... I believe they had a liking for aliteration but a Bunn+Crossley dream team would make great puns around Easter.

Couldn't you have used the "Show results" button instead?

A "coalition of the willing"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_of_the_willing

LOL. And don't forget that "doing a Blackpool" now refers to a storming late season finish AND a lucrative promotion to the Greedy League... "It gives us lickle clubs hope" (No, it doesn't)

PMSL! Good one, made I larf (as they say in Brizzle!)

I'm pretty sure the Pine Villains could come up with their version of the leaflet addressing the important bits...

That's all part of their "cunning plan"...

Shocker... Didn't see that coming... Read the latest news... http://www.bear:censored:sinwoods.com

Is that what it's about: jealousy? I don't give a :censored: how much the England players earn as long as they try and win the fecking thing. And, yes, I know, that's the problem these rich tvvats don't even TRY... Let's say Latics were bought by some Middle East oil-rich outfit with more money than sense. They brought in the best (and most highly-paid) players in the world and we rose from the :censored: league we're in to the top four of the Prem. How would you feel about watching "a bunch of millionaires" thrash the Greedy League teams into oblivion then at our brand new stadium in Failsworth? Exactly. As someone else said, a lot of people in this thread sound like Manure fans.. What next? Chanting "Argentina" etc.? Perhaps, it's cos I've seen a Latics promotion and a cup final and a few semi-finals but, in the words of one of England's former managers, "I'd LOVE IT" if England won the World Cup

Agree with most of this. I was called an elitist in 1999 when Blair was rolling out his "degrees for all" spin. The cynic in me wonders if this was also done since, due to the demise of the manufacturing sector, there aren't that many "trades" available for school-leavers anymore?

This may be a moment but a guy at work showed me this website http://theoatmeal.com/ Very funny!

I think after last season's, er, 'effort', it's the "must go to as many matches as possible" that's holding everyone back from applying...

I thought it meant, after his recent rare appearance at BP, Roger Palmer had gone back into hiding/oblivion/AWOL...

Why? I remember when we used to hate Fulham for buying success... PS I think my opinion is biased by the fact that Baconface recommended Hogdson gets manager of the year instead of Ancelotti...

Is any of this on the web? Sounds like it would be good to see it for a chuckle...
