If Mark Hughes stiffs United it would be class, oh the sweet irony. All those dirty reds at work who keep reminding me of the semi final in 94 will be getting it back big time, although unfortunately in my heart of hearts I think Berbatov will want to sign for United.

He had an injury record that would make Michael Owen blush.

I support both teams which to me makes perfect sense because I like football and rugby league and was born in Oldham. It was a sad day for the town when Watersheddings got knocked down, I know it was a dump but it had character and I have some great memories of the place.

John and Darren Sheridan - The Krays Chris Moore - The Jerk Gary Macdonald - The Invisable Man

Andy Gorton - The Towering Inferno

Agree 100% it just looks really cheap, I know it probably benifits the club to have Carbrini making the shirts but I long for a Nike or Adidas kit, even better a re-issue of the Spall kit from the late 80's the greatest Latics shirt ever.

Spot on because thats what we have got, awful effort.

How did Kieron Lee play

Its looking like the council house and wembley for the UK, can't wait the new album is supposed to be mint.

Thought you got 7 subs in the carling cup

Its a good thing Rangers came over and gave Manchester - Glasgow relations a boost!!!!!!

New sponser will be JD Sports and Carbrini will replace Carlotti after this season on a 3 year deal as they are JD's own make. Can't believe we will have another chav make.

The man is a legend, what a bowling display if only he had someone at the other end who could benefit from the pressure he creates. After bowling Kallis to go to Aleem Dar and say that was pretty close was absolute genius. Now if the lapsed Lancastrian Vaughan can sort himself out we may have a chance.

Demar Phillips is :censored: hot

What I liked most about it was the size and vocal nature of our support clearly upset all the Utd and City fans, they definitely were not a happy bunch.

I can't believe they have paid that for him, I thought he was at best at decent League one player, it reaks of desperation on Forest's part

Could it be Crystal Palace and some reference to us staying up and them going down in the great escape season?

Latics line up Jamaican LOCAL SPORT ATHLETIC are lining up Jamaican international Demar Phillips for a long-term loan deal. The left-sided player has arrived at Boundary Park on two weeks’ trial with a view to joining for the whole of next season. Phillips (24) is available from Premier League club Stoke City, for whom he signed last year after leaving Waterhouse in Jamaica. He cost the Potters a “significant” fee but is expected to figure in Athletic’s friendly games away to Grimsby and at home to Derby. Athletic boss John Sheridan said: “He has played about 30 times for Jamaica and also in the first team at Stoke, so we’ll have a good look at him. “He’s quick and I’ve been looking for left-sided players, so hopefully he will do well.”

Its the fun lovin criminals and I think the song is loco

I think Smalley is class and will get better, I would want at least £500k.

I have to say I have been pleasently surprised at the signings, I think Sheridan was quoted at the back end of last season as saying he would be bringing in quality this year and I took that as we would be signing players in the mould of Greagan/Liddell, eg around mid 30's who have played at a higher level. The signings so far are all fairly young with plenty of potential who we can develop into better players which I think is definitely the way to go. I admire Shez for doing it as these players may not be the finished article who will need time to establish themselves but he has looked at the long term despite him going into what could be his make or break season in the eyes of many.

Did anyone put their name forward for this? I did but have not heard anything which makes me think I am not one of the lucky 6.

Terrible captaincy we had them on the rack with the seamers, he should have continued with them maybe even brought in Hogg but as soon as they got on top of the spinners the game changed. But in true Latics fan style I will blame the management, Watkinson out.

Any idea what the weather is like down there?

Such sad news, rest in peace mate you will always be a latics legend.
