  1. Speaking off great players to leave Oldham. In the paper today Dennis Irwin was named in the Sunday Telegraph's all time greatest United team. He's in there with Keane, Cantona, Charlton, and one George Best. This man is surely the most talented player ever to pull on an Oldham shirt!? Feel free to disagree!
  2. I remember, seconds earlier being denied a stonewall penalty, before barlow was fowled on the left side of the box by one John Sheridan (correct me if I'm wrong?). I was 12 and I just couldn't watch the pen -- so I buried my head on my brother's shoulder. That is right the biggest moment in latics history and I didn't have the bollocks to watch I can't believe it is 20 years ago now
  3. haha when you put it like that you really can't argue your point!!
  4. A supporting statement! Earlier in the season, as our league position and football improved, our home attendances actually decreased! I do feel that we, the fans, have let the club down somewhat! At least those ones who did not show up.
  5. For me this thread can be simplified! Every team in this league is in a dog fight until they reach the magic figure, for arguements sake 53 points! So yes we are in a dog fight untill we achieve the 2 wins and 1 draw required to get over the finish line.
  6. hmm would I be a sick puppy to take that bet!? I don't believe we are going down! However, if we fail in getting a point in our next 3 games then I will be really worried!
  7. I was worried from the off with Feeney when on his first ever latics world interview he was asked how many goals he hpes to achieve this season? He replied, 'Hopefully 10'.
  8. Thankfully le tissier didn't quite manage to spoil the party with his hat-trick on the final day of the season. At 4 - 1 up with the mexican wave in full flow I said to brother, it's abit early to be celebrating! Thankfully I was proven wrong.........just! ;)
  9. 8 points adrift with 3 games to play? I don't think we were ever 8 points adrift. Maybe 8 points behind crystal palace but they weren't 5th from bottom 3 games before the end of the season! I stand to be corrected!
  10. I have to mention this one. It was the season of 1992/93, the first season of the newly formed premiership, and we played United! United were top of the country and Oldham were 4 points adrift at the foot of the table and struggling. The result was a gritty, determined one nil win over united at Boundary park. Correct me if I'm wrong stattos - but didn't Neil Adams Knock in the winner from a dropped corner possibly from Schmiecal? Anyway, this win was the platform and catalyst for the great escape ))
  11. TTA did not back sheridan in January when we sat proudly at the top of the league in our play-off season!!!
  12. Dan, I totally agree mate. I think you just hit the nail on the head!!!
  13. Oh just grow up son. If you don't like 0000 opinion then just ignore him.
  14. I totallt agree but will be surprised if we get more than 3500 - hope I am wrong!
  15. After latics win this board is normally dead - we must have played really well
  16. It was my first game in 6 months and I was suitable impressed - especially by the 2nd half performance! Also, looking at how reid took the 4th goal, yes it was easy but I have a feeling we have finally found someone who can finish off those chances at last! I know that no game is a must win this early in the season but for me the daggers game is a must win if you look at the fixtures after this game!
  17. I totally agree! However, in my opinion the only thing that will now suitably improve attendances is either promotion or a new stadium! Also, It was first game in 6 months due to working down south - very impressed!
  18. My take on the penalty is it wasn't a penaltY, but more importantly what the hell was our defender doing chasing after a ball like that! Lesson learned I hope.
  19. Next thing you'll be telling me you don't win anything with kids The fact is we are 5th after 25 games on merit. Stands to reason we could be there, better, or worse at the end of the season. The trouble with most latics fans is they overly cautious! We'll be better than 10th place.
  20. Who's expectations? There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't make the play-offs!
  21. 10 men behind the ball! However, nothing you can do about a dive and incompetent ref and linesman!!!
  22. I love your optimism but we are not getting promoted! At best I think we will sneak into the play-offs and choke as per usual!
  23. It wasn't mate. I listened to the game. We should have won!!!!
  24. If you don't know her and you have no mutral friends - becareful before accepting it, it could be a hacker!
  25. Try again! 20% of 12 million is 2.4 million ;)
