I would be genuinely amazed if Taylor left Latics for Blackpool.

I think it's a fair point Lags; we are off the pace and do need to continue our improvement. Indeed, the top six at this point last season were the top six at the end of that season. We definitely need to start making ground. I can see someone picking off Leyton Orient, but for us to be that team will be a tall order. The only other team I imagine might drop out of the current top six is Carlisle but they're going along pretty nicely; I think Swansea, Donny, Forest and Leeds (spit!) will all be there. We're still in with a shout if we can do something about our home form and can keep the away form on track.

We do need to stay on a good run but if we can do that, and I think that'll depend on Shez can bringing in a couple of new faces before the month's out, I don't see any reason why we can't creep into the top six.

Currently, Gerard Houllier is odds-on for the job.

It's too early to be talking about the playoffs, or to writing them off. We're on a decent run of form; if we continue to improve and win our games in hand, you never know.

Won't be that interesting Ross; it'll be lower. A lot lower.

Fascinating.

That's ace.

I think Wee Bobby did more than his fair share of entertaining too. And whilst the best in my living memory has to be a toss up between Ritchie and Palmer, my late grandad wouldn't have hesitated in giving Bobby's name in repsonse to this question, so I'll go with him. I wish I'd seen him play. And I live only a couple of streets from where Bobby was born and grew up.

Welcome to the 28th Latics Legend of the Week. This week it's a man without whom, arguably, Latics would never have enjoyed the success they did under Frizzell and Royle. He paved the way by signing the likes of Johnstone and Lister (I think! He was slightly before my time!) We're looking for you, the OWTB members, to post their memories, anecdotes and stories of our weekly Legend. Anything at all. Mate of yours? Met him in a pub? Go to school with his Mrs? Get hit by his car? Had a scuffle with him?! Anything and everything! If you have access to some season stats or career stats then post those too; pictures, videos, songs, etc, etc...!? Post them all!! A couple of very simple rules: 1. Please stay on the topic of a single legend at once... it probably apparent why by now. (If you would like to suggest an upcoming legend then please feel free to PM me) 2. Please don't post anything which may subject you to libel... as OWTB cannot be held responsible for that. 3. Have fun!

lol!

It's a tough, tough choice. I'd be tempted not to change, I think. Having said that, Trotman's been our best player recently. If I was going to change the back four, Stam would miss out for me. But I think, whilst it's unfortunate for Trotters, I'd stick with last week's back four. Trotters'll be ready to step in when ever we need him.

He's well under 24 though, so as long as he doesn't have ideas about coming north of the border...

Not to mention allowing them to cheat their way into avoiding a 10-point deduction for going into administration.

Why the hell do we need three kits? Keep tangerine as the only away strip, I say.

Ain't that the truth!

Do people think there'll be that much demand for Udders tickets? I don't, sadly.

Nor did they show Allott's volley that went just over, from the corner after Wessels had saved Smalley's effort.

Arsenal, Man Ure or Newcastle away please.
