  1. In fact... Hoping for something like this given what was said near the top:
  2. I think an orange kit in the simple style of the last two seasons, with a blue collar, would look class. Home with white sleeves/white shorts, away with blue shorts, which can be used with the home kit when needed.
  3. Haha, true. At least it doesn't surprise me any more. Connor Ripley: best ever loan player?
  4. I was just about to post the same as PlayItLivo! Not only all that, but Port Vale have only won one away all season, and have two away games to get wins from. If we go down, I'll eat a hat of your choosing. Still really want us to bash the Dale tomorrow like. Don't worry too much about the strange ones, they (probably?) mean well. Just keep up the support.
  5. Who would you vote for in a player of the season poll without Clarke or Ripley? It's a tough one! My dad says "George Green. Sorry, Paul Green", which surprised me for some reason. The George Green part didn't surprise me, he's been calling Paul that all season. ;)
  6. Are clean sheets an officially tracked stat? I know in the NHL, even if a 2nd goalie comes on for 10 seconds, neither gets the credit for a "shutout". I'd like to think with fans staying behind to clap the players, he'll get special recognition then. Of course, with such uninspiring seasons, you don't get that many staying behind these days.
  7. Ripley has retweeted a goalie coach saying his kids session next week will be free if Ripley matches the clean sheet record tomorrow... he'll be playing.
  8. A lot of angst from their fans today once it started going against them. Best bet on Tuesday is to keep it tight against them and go in at half time with a clean sheet. They'll probably have Madine back though and he makes them tick.
  9. Actually, all the other games were originally scheduled for Saturday. Everyone else decided to move to Good Friday (or Thursday)....
  10. Haha, commentated at umpteen world cups and still gets his toes trodden on by Roy. ;)
  11. At our level, we definitely should be taking a chance on the skillful players who are slighter on the physical side. If they develop suddenly, we have a player on our hands that would have otherwise been out of reach. Sometimes you end up with a Sugden, Wolfenden, Bove or Byrnes, sometimes a decent player like Winchester, maybe if we're lucky someone even better. On the other hand, Knight has quite a bit of physicality about him. It may not be a high level, but I bet he's come on loads playing against men for Ashton United for most of the season. He scored 2 in a 10-1 win at bottom club Skelmersdale last night.
  12. There we go, a member of the groundstaff. He didn't want him to do it, but he also found it funny. And so it goes.
  13. Who's the last player we had in team of the season?
  14. http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/14804492.Rival_football_fans_throw_fireworks_and_bottles_during_mass_disorder_before_Wanderers_game/ Still, extra few hours recovery time before the game on Monday.
  15. This will be because of the idiots fighting in Horwich before the reverse fixture.
  16. Chronicle: "I wanted to give Ryan Flynn a game," Sheridan said. "Chris has played a lot of football after coming in and sometimes it's difficult." That's what I, and plenty of other fans, figured. Not that he's been spectacular or anything, otherwise he'd be undroppable. But I'd like to see him back in on Saturday.
  17. Played well today. Brilliant to have someone with such a long association with the club as well. Congrats to him his 300th league start.
  18. Robbie Simpson running the length of Anfield to celebrate in front of us was pretty special. Good Mark Hughes finally getting his first goal for us and going a bit mental, shooting and running about like a headless chicken. Eyresy scoring a free kick in his 40s and holding his back and miming a walking stick.
  19. Played well second half Saturday, some clever play. Was involved in the game a lot more after not being so much in the first half. Could say the same for most of our attacking players.
  20. "What we doing getting a kid n loan who can't get in Burton's team?" Latics fans twelve months ago. ;)
  21. He only turns 31 in February. Great signing.
  22. The full thing says "When talent doesn't work hard, hard work beats talent."
  23. Walsall bring in a large chunk of money from that massive advertising board they have. It sits on top of one of their stands and can be seen from the motorway.
  24. If anybody doesn't have BT Sport, but does have BT broadband, you can watch the game legally online. Scroll down this page
