OAFCMIKE

I've just heard that Sky haven't signed up the rights for this season yet. Anyone know the craic?

If we didn't re-sign Gregan we'd only have Reuben now.

..a poll on whether OWTB users think we should move to Failsworth and if so, what were the results?

Why can`t they just get on with it, I`m sure over the course of the SPL season that they will be rewarded enough dodgy decisions to see them right. Nakamura, Larsson and Petrov were the world champion at diving for penalties, oh sorry you don`t do irony do you ?

And yes the IRA oke was in full swing again for all to see as well as the bottle throwing, scum club, scum fans.

Not in Manchester last May then?

Actually, it’s the Scottish FA which is calling for action. Mr Mowbray refused to criticise the officials and admitted that Arsenal were the better team. I put it to you that you are talking out of your arse.

I think he'll have to 'except' that.

Better have something less contentious, like, “Serial groomer of young talent suffers damaged exhaust pipe in shock rear-ending.”

You looking for a job LL?!

I understand he is suspected of stabbing a pop star.

Brilliant.

Man stabbed in the chest. Could be first of many this..

Are you sure they're power cuts and they haven't been cut off?

Black-burn - I suppose because in the printed paper it's split over 2 lines.

I was more concerned with Reuben Hazell's health after they reported last night he got hit by a 'flaying' elbow..

Clearly not...

Patriots started pre season with a win over the Eagles in Philly last night. Brady tossed two touchdowns in his half on the field.

Happy days are here again.

I saw one in the Farrar's once.

The most worrying thing for me are the comments from the manager who seems to think we played well last night.

If those who went are to be believed and we were that bad, then that's not good news.

It's the maker or breaker for me

One of the highlights of the evening was a question from an elderly chap who wanted reassurances that there would be sufficient bus services back to Oldham from the new ground after the fiasco of last season's Rochdale cup game when the 24s stopped running after the final whistle.

Mink nightclub in Oldham.

Is it what used to be Livingstone's?

No test match for 2 and a half days?

 

Here's a linky for Stick Cricket.

 

That should save me from talking to the wife for a few hours!

I think we should bring Justin Langer in as coach.

signings have we made in total and is that a record for us?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...tic/8185585.stm

we have only won 2 of our friendlies and they were against hyde utd and macclesfield, not exactly brilliant opposition.

i was very worried when we went with gregan/hazell as our central defence again. at the moment my worries are looking well founded.

A 'weak' Blackpool side apparently: http://www.blackpool.vitalfootball.co.uk/a...le.asp?a=515456

That's if Big Ben's not in prison by the time the season starts..

A little naive I think to say they should pull the plug.

 

How would you feel if Latics we're struggling in lower leagues and financially suffering, and someone simply decided to stuff it and get rid?

 

Just because it is a different and less supported sport, doesnt mean fans dont love their club as much as we do Latics.

The MEN were about to run it, is how I was led to believe.

Not defending the chron, and I think they've shot themselves in the foot by not disclosing their reasons for breaking the embargo.

On the other hand, the news was also leaked via people on Latics payroll and also certain members of this forum - bad form from all really.

I did the story for the M.E.N. and knew about it at the same time as the Chron. We did not break the embrago and kept to it even after the Chron had run their Dynamos story.
