Seemed to infer on the website that it's a 2nd string going there

Mon Jul 13: Hyde United (A) Thur Jul 17: Halifax Town (A) Tues Jul 21: Macclesfield Town (A) Sat Jul 25: Sunderland (H) Sat Aug 1: Blackpool (H)

He's fit, hard working, has a bit of pace, can use his left foot a bit, and is very consistent. Looks like a replacement for Allott to me. =)

Apparently "only" on 3k a week a Reading, his contract is up... could be a goer!

The chorus of is begging to be turned into a football chant, with "My Oldham" replacing "My Boulder" Dunno about the rest of the words tho!

Internacional of Brazil

Not trying to take sides or anything, just speculating as you say. But there might be something in it.

To be fair, these 3 have not been improving season-on-season like Chris Taylor, and to an extent Deane Smalley, has. I think it's also fair to say that they aren't working as hard at their football careers as Tayls, something alluded to this season with the comments about some players being poor in training.

*Adds Eardley, Alessandra, and Lomax to each other's favoured personell lists on Football Manager* Thanks!

Most Prem teams release 2, or increasingly, 3 new kits every year now, new manufacturers or not.

Norwich fans see him as one of 5 players they have who will definitely leave as they are better than League One.

In the Football Manager game, people like Warney can be put in as the sort of player current fans have a good feeling for, but will be largely forgotten in 10 years. Should have been more clear. Good shouts for Gunnar btw.

Thought I'd start one of the first close-season style threads! Who are five players that you consider to be Latics Legends? And who are other people who deserve a mention as some of the club's favourites. I must admit I have an ulterior motive for this, as I am doing the Oldham data for Football Manager this year, and am wondering who to put in as "Legends" and "Icons" in Latics' club info in the game. I can also put in recent favourites as "Favoured Personnel", such as Paul Warne. I would put Ernie in, but legends and icons pass comment on your actions in the game, so... Also, you can put your top 5 enemies of OAFC if you like! (currently: Chris Moore, Ronnie Moore, Chris Porter, Graeme Sharpe, Ian Wright)

"Something has happened" - fact "Something will happen" - opinion

Notice how Dutch players in England, even new signings, all speak fluent English? Taught from an early age over there. And why would someone come on and pretend that they were Dutch anyway?!

We can have him for 1 more month if we like, but no longer than that.

Only 25 too, could be Allott's long-term replacement?

"Gutted about Westlake, got a good player there Oldham." "Championship quality IMO, by far our most talented player." "What a shame, too good a player to be in a team at the foot of the table. Hope we got something off Oldham as he was on a 6month contract with us." "He's a very good player, too good for Oldham." (!) "Gutted re Westlake. Big Joe saw all he needed to see last night then!" "Westy was class and I don't begrudge him at all. Hope it's not true about being able to play against us next week." "I'd just like to say good luck to Ian Westlake at Oldham i hope it goes well for him there. Thanks for the effort you have put in while you have been here a great professional and a very talented player, always put in 100% for the team. Thanks Westy"

Kick off is 1.15 because that day is also the last day of the Prem season, and their games all kick off at 4.

Suspensions for accumulated yellows only start 7 days after the 5th/10th/15th yellow.

Whaddaya reckon to playing it when the teams run walk out?

They used the same template as the last programme, but forgot to change it back from 5.20, which referred to the Leicester game. It's a 3pm kickoff.

Yes, this our 12th season here, next longest stint is Tranmere with 8, then Huddersfield on 5.

I think it looked great where it was today, a place of prominence fit for a guy prominent in our thoughts this season.
