He's their contracted player, it's their right......unfortunately! That's how it has been for years and that's how it is.

Time machine - Roger Palmer - At the peak of his powers, a good 15 goals a season from midfield....In the championship!! Present - Wellens - Class.

NEVER!! With 11 goals in 57 game, Derrick Parker shouldn't be flushed ever......

In 2004 was there some '10 year agreement to have football played on BP?' 2014 should see further housing ground development maybe?

Sat down, stood up, swearing or not, Thrown out, stayed in, who gives a :censored:e, I hope it's not too long Before another great night.

Big Zander was immense - as was Furman, Adeyami, Cisac, Mvoto and Simpson. How, before this game, anyone could suggest Adeyemi doesn't have the tools to go higher i'll never know....

Unfortunately it mirrors much of society in general these days and not giving a stuff about anyone else. As somebody as pointed out, there are ways to ask 'please could you sit down when you can, as I can't see' and "effng sit down you ......." Just as there are ways to do your best and give the person behind a bit of respect and sit down if you need to. All seater stadiums bring these problems to the table - many years ago stood in the back of the Chaddy or any other terracing and a 6ft 4 man mountain stands in front of you with a minute before kick off, you could shuffle along or bellow down his ear for 10 until he became fed up of you and moved! It's harder sat down. There are dingbats everywhere and 6 pints of John Willies, a couple of them sambuka things and a smoke on what they fancy, tends not to bring the best out of the dingbat race - their time will come - until then we grin and bare it (unless 1 stands in front of me of course!!)

I'm quite sure it doesn't need explaining and the 2nd sentence of your post demonstrates the angle with which you seem to want to take this and I am unwilling to join you on your journey with it.

Nowt to do with this - no need to connect the two.

Let's have a new badge......

Ed Zachary! Black stewards in particular have had this sung to them over the years all with the exact intention that you so eloquently put Mr Oasis and long may it continue! All part of the working class mans good natured ironic football banter.

Agreed The sanitised game

Unfortunately for us, once we scored we 'awoke' the beast! Competed fantastically throughout - the subs for me though tell the story of the gulf. We bring on Matt Smith, a signing from non-league Solihull and they bring on £50+ million pounds Carroll and Downing.....That's a heck of a gulf. Yet if you'd have taken Bellamy and Gerrard out of that side last night, we'd have been closer.

Don't bother Ohhhh lancy, lancy, lancy, lancy, lancy, lancy, Lancashire.............

Seeing lots of old faces knocking about

Whether at Southend, Macclesfield, Port Vale, Man City, Liverpool etc contintue to sing Oooooooohhhh Roger Palmer. Legend

Football fan humour! And reading other posts on here today, it's something that is being lost on todays modern fan Football is a working class mans game and all about banter and humour - too much arse wiping, whinging and namby pamby bloody mards following it these days Get a grip

You seem a balanced chap Fair comments, thanks for the praise we deserve and for keeping it to the football As for those on here who have criticised fans for singing "ooh roger palmer" and "town full of racists" i'll respond to you in a wee while!!!!

What utter bollocks Sing, sing or show us your ring........

Go and debate it there then

To the great tune from Clarence Frogman Henry I don't know why I love you but I do From Premier league back down to division 3 You see I always told 'em That my team is the Oldham I don't know why I love you but I do Remembering the glory days we had it makes me start to feel a little sad now it's Rochadale and Exeter City Oh dear it's such a pity I don't know why I love you but I do So Palmer, Groves and Ritchie, all the crew Are greats that donned the famous Latics Blue We surely won't forget We're sure not finished yet I don't know why I love you but i do

Regardless of how much they spend on the pitch, can't deny quality of the picture.

I'm sure you'll know at the time. But if it is a silence don't get it the wrong way round will you...

2014 is the year...... For more houses to begin??

Or just get a mate to go and get 384 phones when they are on open sale...
