  1. Many moons ago we went by train to Fulham and got tonked 5-0.We went on the booze and caught what we thought was the last train to Manchester.We all fell asleep,some in the overhead luggage nets,and woke up at 4am in a frosty almost derelict Lime St station in Liverpool .Managed to pile on a mail train about 5.30 to Victoria skint and had to walk it back to Oldham.Bloody frozen stiff.One of the joys of watching Latics lol

  2. I was speaking to Aaron Chalmers towards the back end of last season and asked him about Brooke and Eaves and he was firmly in the Brooke camp. He said he had never seen anyone that was as much a natural finisher as Brooke and rated him more than Eaves...he said that Eaves had potential but that he would take Brooke anyday.

     

    Seeing as he would have trained/played with both I'll take his word for it....500k would do for me.

     

  3. i remember going to fulham when man u got there game against qpr called off. So they all invaded craven cottage, the blighters where singing

    OLDHAMAN UNITED...but there where that many of the rascals that i joined in to to save a kicking because one bone head only had eyes for me

    if you get my drift ...hey ho :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

    I remember that.We got beat 5-0 and Best played.Freezing cold and had to put up with mixing with the scum on the train as well.At least they were in the open end with Oldham fansto support us.

  4. Cracking young prospect, plying his trade in league two, 6 ft 3 in tall and rarely loses many headers, will hold the ball up very well and has a cracking touch, can shoot with power when given the chance as well, already bagged 11 goals this season.

     

    Heard this from a pretty reliable source, had a look around can't see who it could be, not many have scored 11+ though so cant have that many possibilites.

     

    Suppose to cost us nothing at all either, due to being out of contract in the summer.

    We already have one....arise Tom Eaves.

  5. Jones and Westlake (who looks like he might be worth a wage for next season but not a transfer fee) dominated in the first half and Thornton didn't get a kick (of the ball any rate). The halftime substitution changed things (he bought Morgan on and swapped the left winger to the right, I think- I had it pointed out to me by my Dad). We stopped dominating down our left and their midfield starting getting time on the ball. Then the penalty which OK you see those given (personally it should be an indirect free kick for obstruction if it was a foul- which I think it wasn't) but 5 miutes later Taylor has worse done to him in their area and we get nowt and two minutes after that Morgan does exactly the same with Hazell outside the area and no free kick. Now this was a blatant case of the ref (who spoiled a game by being picky and then a rubbish penalty decision) being inconsistent and when it was pointed out to him he booked someone.

     

    We had a good first half and they had a good second half it kinda summed up our season by not putting teams away when dominating and then when we get dominated the opposition scoring. Plus really not getting a point against a team struggling away from home when we go 1 up and dominate (2/3 up at half time wouldn't have been harsh on them) sums up our season if we want to go up next season we have to put teams like that away when we get the chance.

     

    As for the Yarddogs they looked a bit weird as I don't remember my genuine one from back in the day being that big. Plus that goal from Whittaker was worth the £13 entrance fee alone.

    Yeh,they were about twice the size as the original ones.They must have been fed on wnnalot.......something we cpou;d do woth next season.
