arrgghhh my eyes, im trying to eat here lads

They are burning, so burning aaagggghhhhh

We'll definately have to come up with one though, as i'm pretty sure that some of our "esteemed" opponents this season will have a little ditty already sorted for him! (He dazes off for a moment imagining 4000 dirty leeds in the rocky rd end, just after 'marching on together' starting lee hughes is a..................)....

IT'S A BUDDY NIGHTMARE RODNEY>>>A BUDDY NIGHTMARE!!!

I'm sorry, but last time I checked S_W was under 20!!??? If you need younger than that you are in trouble!

There's the poker skill BF I'm 98!!!!

No No No No..... theres Lionel, and then the young lad (about 18 ish) ... with a mini afro, who always looks confused, and no matter what you order, has to take 20 minutes finding a clean glass....

 

They are 2 seperate people! (have a feeling Jackson 5 may be lionels son...)

Just to let you jacko and Lionel fans know...Firstly they are def not related and secondly....i have it on v good authority( ) that these two will in fact be working with the old clayton gaffer down at Rochdale fc's version of the clayton arms..the radcliffe arms and it could very well be possible that they will be behind the bar when the mighty tics travel across the 627m in the rose bowl trophy!!! (though the bar is much bigger (ibelieve!) and you are likely to be served a lot quicker!!! :security:

BigFin...don't you worry about our 'in house' northern banter... especially regarding the legs....we're also cracking poker players!!!!

sponsored by.....NORTHERN BOYS LOVE GRAVY!!!!

Tried some of that myself in Sundays game and now have the very painful severely bruised ribs to prove it,mind falling down a cellar at work Monday didn't improve 'em

Is it a timing issue.....or is it like where i'm getting, where the head is still quick in the tackle, but legs and body not so!!!

As for falling down a cellar........very Uncle Albertesque!!!

So Exile, is that at 70 then?

 

I have heard the rumours!

No SW, that's the speed of my Greganesque tackling!!

watcha doing about officials iknow arnoid of jk is a fully qualified ref as is his dad might be worth asking em both to officiat ?

Refs only spoil the game you know...especiall when there is northern bragging rights to keep!!

O'h no I didnt

 

She was in the wrong place at the wrong time

As the recently resigned player/manager of Clayton Athletic fc (almost home of the latics!!)..i am available as a commanding centre half if required.. ....though like 1 or 2 others i am unfortunately on holiday from the 29th!!!

But will be avail for the fore mentioned game please.

i used 2 play football with his son and he used to coach our footy team. top fella !

I remember his son......"Sticky!!"

I'm sure Chris had told me even worse news...that he was a red!!!! Not sure though sa i haven't been in since Chris left, but we'll def have to look for alternative pre match entertainment i think!!

Back 10 years ago to the queens and Brook Tavern hey!!

they're perfect i need media training

Gone for Ricketts, but as mentioned, it'd be great if 3/4 players all lokked like scoring 15 goals and with our back 4 (3?!?) looking tougher and stronger, our goals for could read 115, against 28!!!!!! nowt like optimism!

what in the premiership? was he as good as ricketts at that level?

 

anyway i'm not arguing, i think ricketts is a good signing, as i was getting at in my post when the relevant parts are quoted in full

Are you suggesting Marhar, that my 'editing skills' would suit the sun?

if we get him fit and interested he'll be great for us, he's big strong and mobile

 

was a little underwhelmed when the signing was announced, but i'm warming to it, i certainly think he gives us a different option to the rest, and at the very very worst, he'll give us slightly better options up there than chris hall did.

underwhelmed! why? Surely you didn't believe the rumours of Scholes', Cole and Yorke!!

Only slightly better options than Chris Hall!!! Michael Palin would have give us better options up front than Chris Hall... never mind Michael Ricketts!!!

But yes if fit a very different option and imo like Hughes, could be fantastic for the club next year! or not!?!?

Definately looking forward to the leeds games now this year...potential hot pots YOU BET!!!

You should know by now Briefs that Wiki is an 'unreliable source' (kind of like the Chron)

Haha..behave!!

Just read it could be Michael Ricketts signing this afternoon, Didnt Southend release him for being overweight last season? Hope its not him

After only a couple of months into a 2yr contract, southend released him for being overweight. However he then went to preston who released him a couple of months ago for the same reason. I'm sure Shez wouldn't be signing him, if he didn't think that he could get him fit!

Although possibly his worst moment for Latics, was in the league cup final and after watching the game weeks later (again and again) Bunn had hit a shot well wide and high (if i remember he wasn't fully fit!) and Jimmy Greaves said something like "oh dear Frankie, that was a very poor effort, and he doesn't look himself!" In front of millions oh eck Frankie.

Classic half-time scoreboard:

 

Bunn 5 Scarborough 0

I remember being "stood!!" at the back of the 'cold' chaddy end, standing, looking in amazement as his 5th went in. Fantastic memory in a few years that game!!

it says significant and experienced so its not malcom christie cos hes not experienced he was rubbish and never got a game, id like fowler or jimmy floyed hes both significant and experienced but i doute itrs any 1 suggested yet

Some stats for you...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_Christie

I would have to go for Carss

he player his heart out for us in every game

that he pulled the Oldham shirt on!!!

 

Wellens is a good player as well but if he does

not want to play or if he did not get a pass when he

asked for it he would then not be intrested for the

rest of the game!!

I could never see this 'Wellens wasn't interested lark' I think people expected him to be on the ball all the time and box to box, but he wasn't a box to box player. In some of those last few games, when we suffered a bit of an 'indifferent' spell, Wellens was one of the few who never stopped trying to get a foot in and get the side going again IMHO.

I just feel fans' expectations at times were high of Wellens. If he was so much better a player than the one that the fans saw week in week out, then he certainly wouldn't have played at this level for the majority of his career.

David Currie is a former Latics Striker from the late eighties.

 

In all my time watching Latics (30 years +) I never saw a greedier player.

He even used to warm up on his own if you remember. With his own '5 a side ball'.

His crowning glory was the 'disallowed' goal @ Manure in that theatre of hell!!!

Not many worse than Currie here!!

At least he didn't take the offer Millwall gave him last summer.

What £500 in fake notes a week, a jar of pickled eggs and a free scrap in the supporters bar every week if he fancies it!
