Mickleover sit on a par with Ashton United give or take a place in the football pyramid, we have been comprehensively outplayed, out battled and out thought for the majority of that 90 minutes by players who work in Aldi and on building sites Monday to Friday with pretty much our first eleven bar Lundstrum.  Fucking shocking performance. 

 

Our right flank needs major surgery, no rightback at the club who can give us a solid 90 minutes, Hogan the latest to put in an embarrassing performance, isn't Raglan more mobile or even Shelton for that matter? Both have played there for previous clubs, it's not these players fault we have a responsibility to find even adequate players. Green is a waste of space, never fancied it from minute one today, shits out of tackles and looks like he doesn't even want to be a footballer, there's a reason we 'plucked' him from fucking Telford. 

 

Hope, Sheron, Gardner Hogan, can all go for me. Dickinson and Willoughby offer us little, McGahey ponderous is being generous, looked like a statue in the centre of the park, there are so many issues it's difficult to know where to start.

 

Whatever Mellon is doing with them isn't working as that's two draws and two defeats in four home games since he come in, I can't think of a worse start under any manager, we are awful to watch and have been second best in every home game I've seen us in under him and that is against some really poor teams.

 

19 goals conceded in Mellon' 9 games in charge, what are we coaching them because that's a dreadful statistic, best keeper at the club still on the bench despite Hudson getting beat at his near post for fun, fumbling routine shots, tipping shots over he should catch and distributing balls with his feet as if he's sponsored by fucking Toblerone. Has Norman fucked someone's wife because I'm really not sure what he has to do to get back in, is this kid we brought in any worse than Hudson, it would be difficult.

 

It's a big huge fucking mess and we seem to be regressing, finding zilch under Mellon and the same players are letting us down week in, week out - yet they still get selected.

 

At this level you feel sorry for some of them Mickleover players as they deserve full time contracts, most are probably juggling jobs, families and careers out of football which based on today most of our over paid, pampered squad are lucky they ain't.

 

We need players desperately right back, wide men and central midfielder. I've said it since pre season and I'll continue to do so.

 

Final point is on Norwood, why wasn't he pulled at half time given he'd done absolutely zilch until that point, I know he's our best player but it's as if he's become a bit untouchable since Mellon came in and that's a dangerous game in my eyes, it's a team sport not the fucking James Norwood show.

some great points here Yarddog, some of our players seem to think they are the bees knees and can't/won't raise their performances, time to unload some of the dross

Has anyone heard anything today about Alty tickets? Thought there would have been something on Th'official

Sounds as pissed off as the rest of us. Some of our players need to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror, barely going through the motions and don't look as though they could tackle a Sunday dinner. Criminal performance again.

My lad was in one of the groups who went on Soccer AM and is still going to Latics matches. I know a couple of the rest of them are still going, but not sure about the others.

RIP Slowk.

Jesus .

To be fair to BP, we had a few arguments over people in our seats last season, as we do usually get there at the last minute.

If you listen to the interview with Les Chapman below (from the 18:45 mark), you'll hear a reference to the incident I had in mind. LOL, very entertaining!

 

I can also vaguely remember that Williams was badly beaten up and hospitalized after being attacked somewhere in the town centre, probably in the earlier part of 1971. The Chronicle report on the incident was very sketchy and brief, and didn't make it clear whether there was any connection to his role as Latics correspondent, or whether he was just the unlucky victim of a random assault. I think he may have suffered a broken jaw or similar.

 

 

 

I seem to remember that he was "seeing another woman" allegedly. Whether this was connected I don't know.

I left in 72. Sam Bells temper was ferocious, as was the Scottish woodwork teacher can't remember his name. Also remember Charlie Cook Halifax fan, history? Bit hazy the rest.

Not sang a single Unsworth chant yet, won’t until he wins football matches. 

Oh, I don't know, there were a couple at Notts County on Boxing Day not too complimentary though!

Instead of pleading for unity now that the fans have turned against you Mr. Unsworth, how about an explanation of the "non-contact" tactics in the first half at County.

Same as, just silence

Not sure about that BP, but one side of Boundary Park Road is in Oldham and the other is in Chadderton.

any half wits who applauded the team off at full time: go and get your self assessed. it was Cambridge not Real Madrid. how much lower can we go?

not sure if my Auckland based son comes on here but I'll pass this on to him

Latics fans are on Sky's Soccer am tomorrow. hope my boy doesnt show me up. i can manage that all  by myself on a Saturday.

Dave, my eldest is in Auckland but don't think it's him.

Under 'and that'...... I was reading about the Coates family [own Stoke City] earnings from their company Bet365 earlier, running into £100s of millions apiece: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-46289499 ...and it made me wonder if there are any Port Vale fans with Bet365 accounts?

 

Are there are brands/products you would actively avoid as a result of football rivalry? I'll start.....

 

As a kid, I would lobby my parents never to buy household equipment from Brother or Sharp!

Cancelled my Vodaphone contract when they started sponsoring the scum.

lad who went to watch training reports that cones and everything were set up but players never trained

not guilty on that one. a bit over the top. and I quite like Gardner, apart from his final ball sometimes. it's obvious a lot of people don't aggre with my original post so I'll leave at that.

what is his problem? seen him at it before . confiscating  a beach ball, glaring at 16 year ods, sending an extra steward to watch 10 year olds in the family stand. get a life man!! a bully and a prick. we need to encourage young uns to come to latics not treat them as shit, and if he happens to read this, i sit in seat Y90  if he woud like to come and try to bully me and my mates.

under the thumb again Mike?

Gerrard subbed at half time on his home debut with Carlisle 4-1 down.

 

Demolishing the  buffet as we speak.

comment from Carlisle fans forum:  "When I saw the team it seemed a curious decision to play Gerrard last night - even more so when I saw his physical state. 20 kg overweight? Against their forwards?"

UNACCEPTABLE: that must rank as one of the worst performances ever from our once great club/

we are sinking into the abyss and us fans are seemingly sitting back and watching it happen,  and to the happy clappers yesterday we are at the bottom of the 4th division.

i wish i had some answers or suggestions on what we as fans can do about it , but i fear we are following Stockport County and it hurts.

they seem to think they're still in the greedy league

Is there any way of listening to game today apart from ifollow. its for my brother in Greece
