No not fishing, oa exile got it tho'

Same old story from Shez the clown. Total inability to motivate a squad of players other managers in this division would give their right arm to manage. Gutless and spineless again, what does he say to them in the dressing room, nothing I guess cos the dressing room has obviously been lost. Theres nothing there no plan B, nowt. Sorry Shez its time to go, ohhhhhhhhhhhh hang on...................

Oh c'mon DW, go with the flow man. Whatever we all think/thought about Shez he's gone now, nowt we can do, same as it ever was when a manager goes. Bet the euphoria will have caught up with you by Saturday. You're right about the players being afraid tho', they should be very afraid.

Yup thats my only concern.

Can't disagree with that HDGS, again, spot on.

Errrrrrrrrmmmmm didin't JR get Citeh promotion? Out of this division? In the play offs? Oh and didn't Everton win the FA Cup? Edit: D'oh too slow!

Can't disagree with that HDGS, well said.

Supported Shez, but when I saw Hines instead of Stam at 2.45 I thought, oh ferk off! Thats it had enough now. 9 games to rescue the season, but can't see it without summat drastic happening.

Sorry it is clear. Its in the punctuation, isn't it?

How'd you know thats what I edited, uncanny!

No it means 3 players have been in bother "The outcome of the investigation, after taking legal advice, is that one player has been fined the maximum amount of two weeks' wages and two others have been severely censured and warned as to their future conduct." One player fined, two others warned. Can't be much clearer. Unless you're used to twisting words to suit for example a story in a newspaper!

Totally serious mate [winky] I try not to do smileys though, one feels sometimes one shouldn't have too!

I never knew that Corporal Jones (the smug one on the left arms folded) and old Coconob were on Blue Peter, Coco is obviously the one on the right, yes that's it the one that looks like the Village Idiot, he's certainly worrying Lesley. Meanwhile Val shows us the approximate width of Sean Gregans left buttock.

YES it would it would be the end of the world (as we know it) and quite frankly how could anybody feel fine. If we went up, and mate its a big IF, would Shez be the man to lead us in the Championship? Just remember this everybody if, sorry IF, Shez gets us promotion I've been the first to start the Shez promotion backlash.

True, so true. Anyway I'm now looking forward to playing Beag Teeets cliché bingo: Bottled it Cop out Club should be ashamed of itself Gutless Role models after all Shez should still go Should all be included on todays card ! Probably with many others that I can't be aris'd to think of.

Step forward Stan Ternent. Just the ticket.

No Nik you used the "awwwww we're only top of the table its not good enough" stick to beat Ritchie with, if I recall Anyway that looks distinctly like an admission that you were wrong to want Stitch out all them arguments ago!! Heck hang on, if you were wrong back then..................

Earlier today I witnessed what can only be described as shocking behaviour by so called professional footballers. Laughing and joking together in the street, in broad daylight. Well excuse me don’t they realise the predicament we’re in? Struggling to hang on to a play off spot, losing ground daily and all they can do is laugh and joke together? Its Sheridan’s (sorry Shezza’s) fault no discipline you see lets the players do as they will. Coaching badges come cheap but having the integrity to stamp some discipline on these herberts is down to natural ability it can’t be taught. Worse followed, some of them got into cars and drove away, the day before a match. It’s a joke, what if they are involved in a RTA, or worse get a jarred neck, or arm or knee etc because they accidentally drive into a pothole in the road, or worse Latics own car park. I’m not even going to mention the fact that some appeared to be eating toast, with what appeared to be butter on it. Its time the club came clean and issued a statement, the players involved named and shamed and exact details of their punishments detailed in minutiae. If not it will really show that this club has no respect for itself or more importantly, much more importantly us the fans. The events of the last few days have opened my eyes, and brought me too my senses. Sheridan must go now, anytime before 3pm tomorrow will do. If you want a nomination for his replacement, well step forward Stan Ternent, he’d sort them out and promotion would be guaranteed, fact.

Sorry but you're wrong there. DW surprised it took you 2 minutes to decide the clueless cardboard cut out shouldn't be here.

Maybe, as TTA are obviously fully backing Mr Sheridan with their own hard earned cash they don't see any problem area, real or otherwise. Sorry must have written it in Serbo Croat first time, there put it in English this time, hope that makes it clearer!

I fear this pointless bunfight will run and run FMS, and will become more and more pointless as the years pass, no matter who manages the club. I blame Sky and for that matter all the other channels, from Andy Gray and his tactics board to the nauseatingly tedious and overblown analysis on MoD. Everybody is an expert now, everybody knows better than every manager at every club in the land. What narks me most is that most of these experts filling folks heads with their tactical footballing insight haven't even had the balls to become a manager, Gray Hansen & Shearer are perfect examples. Football is a simple game, good things happen, utter garbage happens, players lose form and make mistakes. Teams play well one half crap the next, its been the same for 130 years hasn't it? The only difference is nobody has an ounce of patience these days, good job Shez hasn't got this record of seasons finishes: 7th (but with Frizz's players some might say) 19th (20th would mean relegation) 14th 8th 3rd (missed out in play offs) 10th 16th 8th (but we can let him off for this one!!) 1st Joe Royle wouldn't have gotten to the first set of play offs these days. Oh and for those who weren't around back then. If you really think its dire now, sitting 5th in the table and all that I'd really like to transport you back to 83 -85, then you'd appreciate the real meaning of the word dire. Oh and thats dire playing under the clueless, or should that now be god like, Joe Royle.

Whatever.

Maybe, as TTA are obviously fully backing Mr Sheridan with their own hard earned cash they don't see any problem area, real or otherwise. Just a though like.

Not logged on for a bit, kind of knew what the state of the board would be. Still I'd like to add one thing to this thread: Anybody who says they want Latics to lose a game, and for that matter anybody who agrees with them, is NOT a Latics fan simple as. I don't care how many games you go to, how long you've been going saying you want us to lose nullifies everything. Never in 33 years have I ever wanted us to lose a game, at any level, ever, and the day I do I'll pack up supporting the club. Its pathetic, period.
