I am going to get the front page of the sport section of the Sunday Times framed... Big huge picture of the goal celebrations and the headline SHOCK THERAPY...

It's going to look lovely on my bedroom wall - and that's where it's going no matter what the girlfriend says!

I had more than a few beers at the time, but was that Lee Dixon being very nice and heaping lots of praise on Latics - including saying that Moyes didn't field a understrength team - on Match of The Day last night?

I never liked Dixon - I still have a grudge since his antics got Rick Holden sent off at Boundary Park many moons ago - but a bit of praise for Latics has raised him in my estimation from very unlikeable to moderatly unlikeable!

Seeing as they've just gone a goal up, Manure in Old Trafford so we can have a right lash at them in their own back yard.

I'm going to be really positive about this one...

Everton 0 - Latics 1.

Lee Hughes to score (as I said in another thread, I'm going to put a few quid on this at 12-1)

Attendance 27,567

When I think of Sharp, the first thing that comes to mind is that miss at Wembley when we were one up against Manure... a moment recalled earlier in this thread by OAFCPROZAC. That miss still makes me feel ill...

So I reckon him and his opinions are best avoided for the good of my health.

I predict it will drag on - then he'll sign for Donny.

Cheers Garcon... sounds like whoever drew up Ricketts' contract had their crystal ball and thinking cap with them.

On Ricketts - if (when) he goes, does anybody have any idea how much he's cost us?

The way I see it, we turned our season around as soon as he was out the door - which didn't take very long.

Apart from the fact that it surprises me that other clubs would show any interest after he has burnt yet another bridge, I'm just wondering roughly how much the whole Ricketts thing will have set us back financially if we cut all ties with him in January...

One way our another, I better inject some steroids into my keyboard's F5 button - I love the excitement and suspence of impending signings but the poor old keaboard's nearly finished.

Could we have a vote on this?

Just kidding... and for the record... NO!

Heh heh heh.

His goal against Manure - one of the highlights of all my years supporting the Latics... I was listening to it on BBC Radio 5 Live in my sittingroom in Galway - and the radio reception was rubbish and for some reason only seemed to improve when it was raining... Luckily, there was a heavydownpour when he scored (from an inswinging Paul Bernard corner?) and another one at the end of the match so I knew we hung on...

I went nuts at the final whistle and banged my toe off the leg of the table - but I didn't feel the pain until the next day!

Tonight's is a victory to cherish - well done one and all.

Great thread this... I always want Andy Richie back at Latics one way or another... He should be given the job of Resident Legend.

I want Manure at Boundary Park... They go a goal up but in the last minute of injury time Hughes scores then Davies knocks in a winner... Scholes is spotted punching the air and Alex is p****d off but Scholes tells him to sod off and signs for Latics on the spot while back in Oldham council they realise the error of their ways and give the redevelopment of BP the thumbs up while Bashforth moves to Tranmere...

I don't mind who we get in the round after that...

Less than 4000 on a Saturday is a bit of a shocker but I feel we are about to go on a bit of a run so a few more top corner screamers should put a fair few more bums on seats by mid January - which is when I will have my flight from Dublin to Manchester booked so that's one extra seat filled anyway!

Sorry if the answer to this is obvious - but what do the little blue blocks under the player's name mean?

Andy Richie for me - my favourite footballer of all time.

Heh heh heh! what a great poll...

My two cent: Bring back LATIQUE!

No doubt it's my first trip to Boundary Park - a 3-3 draw with Coventry in the top flight... Andy Richie played an amazing game and set up a goal and scored a penalty in front of the Chaddy end... I'll never forget it.

My sympathy to you and yours sir... I am sure your uncle - RIP - is proud to have a nephew doing so much good work with so many good people for club and community.

The best thing about the email campaign is that it only takes a few seconds to write one up and send one off - and it must be causing headaches for the councillors...

Great video ...

Yeah lads - I'm stuck in Dublin tomorrow, but I really wish I could make it over... KTF

I had the same reply waiting for me this morning... Can't say I even read it all. I think I'll just send him another email this morning, just to keep his inbox ticking over...

Point taken. How about...

BASHFORTH, WHOEVER YOU MAY BE,

YOU'VE HAD TO MANY PIES FOR YOUR TEA,

NOW THEY'VE GONE TO YOUR HEAD

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE

AND AFTER WEDNESDAY NIGHT WE WON'T DISAPPEAR
