The Rose of Denmark..... it's about a 10 min walk from Charlton station;
Heading there too mate. See you there.

Andy, me and Sniffer are jumping on the 12.02 from Swindon to Temple Meads from Paddington. We will head for Sportsman. Hope to see you there.

Merlin, 12.30 onwards....Happy Birthday Andy!

Prepared to give him time but that's 20 odd games without a goal. It's definitely relevant and a bit concerning.
His "game" last night was a few minutes at the end. His remit would almost certainly have been to defend from the top and help out when we have a corner against us. Unfair to consider that a "game" for a striker. We really shouldn't count last night as "another game without a goal" for Cassidy.
-
Totally unnecessary negative swipe at a good squad player as we try to rebuild a positive team based approach. Chapeau. Sounded like Jake defended well for the cause and the team when he came on for the final few last night.

Selling your top scorer to a bottom four rival is genius
Absolutely. Don't forget the timing of some of those goals and assists either - Swindon, Chesterfield and Coventry. I know we are in a mess but where would we be without those vital late strikes when most had given up?
-
It'll all depend on what time I get out of work..... 50/50 at the mo.....
Meeting Sniffer in The Merlin at 6 if you make it Andy....
-
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. I get in around midday to Birmingham, Olly Senior and Junior around about the same time. Sniffer is also travelling.

Surely........ Neil Adams
Thank God someone else noticed the most notable absentee from these lists. Neil Adams, for what he did for Latics ( sorry he hasn't a Champion's League medal ), was by far our greatest loan signing. In fact he is the only one that I can remember the Chaddy urging Joe to sign him permanently with "Sign Neil Adams" being a regular chant during his loan spell.
Now try to stop picturing THAT goal Vs West Ham....

I am reassured by the fact that I thought that Sadler came across as an amiable, reasonably intelligent lad and that the OP reached his own conclusions.

Apologies for cack handed posts Stargazer! You get my drift hopefully!

17 seasons is Division 2(the Championship today) was terrific . Frequently punching above our weight , with struggles in many seasons but always with a squad of solid journeyman , ageing former top flight players and some terrific purchases , I loved every minute of it.
18 seasons and counting of Division 1(Division 3 in my book ) of journeymen and loanees I have frequently never heard of , constant ridiculous turnover of players , with only 1 realistic attempt at promotion , which of course lead to the destruction of the club .......is tedious .
Better than being out of the league like other similar clubs ,yes .
I reckon you must be at least 25 to have any recollection of a relegation & over 30 to recall a promotion .......the younger generation of fans deserve a medal for sticking with the club.
17 seasons in old school Div 2 really was terrific when you look back doesn't it? We were always happy! We rode out the threat of relegation several times, had a few comfy mid-tables and then had those 3 glorious cracks at it. Whatever the outcome, we were very happy where we were.
if we won a few, we put a few on the gate, lost a few, lost a few on the gate - but it worked itself out. Then when we went ballistic, so too the fever and the crowds....
That's the difference. It was never mundane, and we all knew deep down that we were in the 2nd tier of English football. Today it ismundane, the quality is often poor and we are in the 3rd tier with only the 4th seeming a possibility.

I just hope we can appoint someone soon so we can all stop talking about the little runt!
I was gutted he left but he's gone and we move on. I wish him well in the future but I hope he falls on his arse at Barnsley if only just to teach him a big lesson.
We need a new manager now.
On a side note I'd hate to see any of you get dumped off someone you care for as you would be suicidal. Players\ managers come and go but Some of you mardy bastards act like he :censored: on your dinner, :censored:ed your mum and made your dad carry him to Barnsley.;)
Haha!! That is the funniest thing I have read throughout all of this!!
-
Yup. Organisation is such a big part of it, and Chubs did that. His record with us was very good, and we've been :censored: ever since LJ started pissing around with that, Kenny and now Kean.
He may have conceded some long range shots, but some of the goals we've conceded vs PNE and Barnsley would not have happened.
Totally agree and said it at the time. Some head-scratching moments this season and the first phase of the Rachubka witch hunt was one for me. And for the record, Johnson is a total :censored:.

Excellent. See you there Andy. Just on way to Bath.
-
Me and Osc get in at 13:16. Gonna get a taxi to The Arrow.
-
Swindon posse aiming for noon.

Technical last season was top drawer. set us up perfectly for Korey's touche and finesse.... I vote with the blue blooded Hamlet boys.
-
Still scored 20+ of the ugliest goals I have ever seen in one season which is what we need right now...the Winchester rifles and Jones free kicks aren't regular enough for me
His "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" hat-trick at Brentford as the perfect example!!
-
I still reckon he is what we need...(if his knees were up to it)
Porter had the knees of a Somme Veteran when he was at Latics years ago. They won't have improved.
-
See you at Orient Danny?
Andy, Orient needs negotiating. It falls on my weekend with the kids - I can't put them through that again after MK, Oscar still screams at night....
I should have been free for Gills but traded my sat for a 40th in Bath last weekend and it's therefore payback on saturday - I didn't realise she would call it in so soon to be honest. Caught napping, it won't happen again!
I therefore have my sights firmly set on doing a similar swap for Orient. Have a top top time.

Not coming across for this one lads - have a top day.

Took my son, aged 7, to see Latics v QPR (managed by Tommy Docherty) on 16 August 1980, sat in the front row of the Main Stand at Boundary Park. Ryszard Kowenicki scored a screamer, the only goal of the game. He remembers it as if it was last Saturday, when he was at Fleetwood.
That was my first game too Diego!! My memories of that game are clearer than more recent OASIS trips but there is good reason for that....
Took my daughter to MK away two years ago when we lost 2-0 and followed it up for my son's debut in Dec last year and we know the rest....
Days gone by v now
