What a load of tools we'd look....

How long have they had Brucie Grobbelaar back? As for their play overall.......I hope they line up this negative against us on Friday (Though somehow, optimism needs to be replaced by realism!)

Now Now......no need to be so drastic! As for someone knowing better - yes as I mentioned, PD more than probably does.

Gerrard, Shelvey, Carragher, Bellamy, Doni, Kelly....all to play against us on Friday? No worries?!?!?!?!?

I'm sure we've got a more than adequate manager who will be letting Kuqi know how and where to play during the game.....Anyway back to your football manager games chaps.

Is that the 'wants to win attitude' and will not accept mediocrity off team mates - nowt wrong with that in my book - a real pro. As for the being toss in the last 5 or 6 - as has been mentioned, he is just in need of a rest, but he's that important a player in how we play, PD can't afford too.

Different positions - but John Ryan 1st spell please - thank you

Gary Hooligan..........I liked Gary...

Dead straightforward The PA was broke! After 100 years without improvement to it, it's no wonder......

Probably not....justified criticism if taken off over Taylor for performance only imo......they weren't booing Morais coming on - It was that Taylor was ultra gash, Parker not much better (though he improved marginally when Morais came on) Though we did laugh as only a couple of days ago he was out pouring tea for some of these in similar conditions - Welcome to Oldham hey! BTW Martin Allen is still a 1st class k n o b

The club had 6100+ tickets to sell - The club have done that - Job done. Lock the thread.

You've come to see the Oldham.....You're only here for the Oldham...........

As in all aspects of society - there's always someone else to blame unfortunately. If there are 6100+ tickets, when they're gone, they're gone - disapponting for some who genuinely couldn't get one, but there will be some who need to look at themselves rather than having a pop at the club, where there have been individuals whom have worked bloody hard over the last week (particularly yesterday). There'll be other memorable games in the next 20 years i'm sure......

See the other topic - they'll be getting even shorter soon by all accounts.

A further example of one of the nations bodies the BBC, sticking 2 fingers up to the working class mans lower league football - it has always been nothing more than a 'token gesture' anyway, sticking it on at such a crap time, with a crap presenter, a crapper guest, a crap studio etc - but at least it was recordable/semi accessible crap to those who don't have sky etc. As has been said Hansen etc earning reported sums such as £40k per programme, yet the BBC - The BRITISH Broadcasting corp, say they don't have the budget to cover BRITISH lower league football - well stick your match of the day up your arse as well for me.

I'm quite sure all who queued did so very freely without Simon Corney or Alan Hardy holding their arms up their backs...... Although you do make a valid point that in today's technological world, queing is not always necessary in other areas of purchasing.

I think all of the things mentioned have their own positives and would be worth a punt - however I do feel that there is a bigger force here - the pro game is financially on it's ass and continues to decline and whatever schemes are runs by clubs, every penny they spend on such initiatives is another penny gambled in a climate where every penny counts.

The most balanced and understanding post of them all in my humble MARK II

He'd have been slapped in the 80s for that!

The most balanced and understanding post of them all in my humble.

Fook me, have any of you lot ever stood on cramped terracing, pissed wet through, in the corner of some lower league slummy ground before? You've bought a ticket to support your team in the famous anfield stadium, with all the odds stacked against us. You're sat down, under cover in possibly the best atmosphere so far this season - get gone, stop whining and bloody enjoy the evening!

Blackpool away Reeves x 2, 2000ish was a cracking weekend!!

Without a doubt

Yet another opportunity for a cheap snipe at folks who cannot/don't go for many different reasons, but will for the near future games. I should have resisted nibbling on your rod really with that comment, but when it appears under different guises in other threads, then I thought I'd have a bite. At the end of the day, without the 'bandwaggon' followers at Anfield or hopefully Wembley, I would think that the players, management would be pretty disappointed seeing 3'500-4'000 at Wembly!! should that occur!

Oldham aren't often on in the pub
