Former Latics ticket office maestro transferred to Notts Forest:

 

I’m sure he nailed the when have you had to overcome a challenging situation at work question in the interview 

Banide looked about as happy as I was to be there last night.

Unless we pull off some big signings this week this is going to be a long old season

Training on the beach is actually good for you.

And will be good prep for our pitch come January 

With Abdallah's track record he should be fine on a holiday visa.

Yannick Ferrera's agency appears to be called 'Base Soccer'.....

 

 

 

....when you look at the amount of people employed by Base Soccer, it emphasises just how much money flows out of the game and into the hands of these intermediaries; NB: One Size is one of them.....

They have Fitz Hall as an employee

Heard we are trying for Paul Anderson from Mansfield.

Not an ex player but Peter Shirtliff has joined Wellens at Swindon as first team coach

Looking like Connor Ripley to sign for Preston

Hear he is looking to bring in Theresa May to provide a bit of stability.

When we were winning early in the season I didn’t think the performances were particularly good but that first half was genuinely excellent, don’t know if it is by luck or design but we’ve stumbled across a really good midfield who run their nuts off. Bit of a brain fart at the start of the second half but once we got the fourth we looked comfortable 

Think I enjoyed that more than any game this season, showed real heart against top of the league and a superb goal to boot. I’ve been critical of Bunn but fair fucks for bringing on Surridge when Miller got sent off, brave choice and think that decision meant we got something out of the game. They were a set of awful human beings and were allowed to get away with it by another inept refereeing performance. Near the end when their centre half was goading Surridge right in his ear, then when he was pushed away was complaining straight away to the ref particularly annoyed me but all good fun and got the juices flowing on a cold Tuesday night. 

Warren Feeney carted from Notts County along with manager Harry Kewell in what has been a sensational managerial appointment.

"They were in the Premier League as recently as 1994" so just nearly a quarter of a century then!!

I give up.

 

Fucking pissed off with the whole thing.  Actually, I'm more bored of the whole thing.

 

I'll just support the team and ignore the rest.  Its clear the fans and more worryingly the TRUST have ZERO INFLUENCE and ZERO CLUE what is going on.

 

The football league are a fucking joke too.  What exactly is fit and proper and why doesn't it include some kind of bond deposit with them.

 

If we lose Saturday I fear everything will unravel rather quickly and get quite ugly.  We badly need to win.

If only we had a local journalist who despite not furthering his career and facing derision and personal abuse from a lot of the fan base could have highlighted these problems pre season.

Players on strike, I thought we had got rid of all of the trouble makers

I'm there on Friday to see The League of Gentlemen.  I am expecting that to be in really poor taste!

But that's a local venue for local people.

That was largely toss but so happy with the result against those arrogant, time wasting, cheating bastards 

Like Brexit we have engineered our own downfall, getting rid of Byrne is as stupid a decision as leaving the European Union

He has come to the right club if he needs help managing injuries!!

Slightly baffled following reading some of the posts on here. 

 

Now Macc might not have been very good quality wise but they had some massive players. They also had Smith and Blisset up top who were a handful albeit poor ability wise

Think you answer your own question, we only just beat a team at home  you describe as not very good quality wise and having two strikers who were poor ability wise. I don’t want to be negative I really don’t and I was delighted we won but I can’t come away from that performance against I would imagine relegation fodder with any kind of positivity. 

You are not allowed to criticise the team on this site so !!!!  there is no way Jack Byrne would have improved us today, he wouldn’t be intelligent enough to take the Giles Coke tactic of passing to their team and hoping he fucks up and he would be doing stupid things like trying to create chances against a god awful side and wanting the ball, if he ever starts the season ticket is on the pitch
