I reckon Robbie Carlyle would do a great Dickov.

Makes it all the more sweeter. Horrible classless club with horrible classless fans.

They're the most deluded, mental set of fans in the world. Anyone who is on twitter should follow @RAWKmeltdown, they update the most particularly mental posts off that messageboard. And there's plenty to choose from.

I got the train back to Preston from Saddleworth this morning and was grinning like a maniac the whole way back. Especially proud seeing passengers reading various newspapers with Latics emblazoned across the back of every single one.

I've no such luxury I'm afraid, I'm relying on public transport...

Well, they weren't. We sacked Moore, and got into the play-offs playing better football the season after. I'm not sure how that constitutes them being right? My hindsight comment was regarding the fact that those people somehow feel the blame for us being where we are now is down to those who wanted Moore out, which is complete and utter bollocks. There was nothing to suggest from that season that Moore would've taken us up at any point.

I need to get back to Saddleworth tomorrow, have I got any hope? It's a pain in the arse to get back to at the best of times...

And in all honesty, I don't see a problem with that. From a fans perspective, football first and foremost is supposed to be about entertainment (well, it is for me anyway). I've only ever seen us play in this division, so I'm used to mediocrity and haven't got high expectations. I just want to see Latics play, or attempt to play attractive football. Moore had us playing some absolutely dire stuff at times, with a bunch of players who could clearly play good football, as Shez showed the season after. I think the thing that's grinding me about the Moore situation is the people suddenly coming out of the woodwork essentially saying "I told you so". Well, congratulations. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

He wasn't proper dog :censored:. He just wasn't that great. And certainly not the Mourinho-esque revolutionary some are suddenly making him out to be.

Exactly, it doesn't routinely happen. Comfortable 1-0 defeats are even more frustrating in my opinion.

We've never been routinely battered under Dickov, not this season anyway. It's the fact that teams consistently cruise to one or two nil victories against us that irks people.

Remember, it isn't who wins the game that counts, it's who wins the passing

Some people really need to get over Ronnie Moore. It was 7 years ago, despite revisionism he actually wasn't very good for us, and we were far better the next season under Shez which justified the decision to bin him. Move on.

The Nervous Tic It's my Twitter name, but I'm prepared to donate it.

hehe, satire

His reputation is hardly in tatters tbf.

Why? Clarke's an awful manager and probably wouldn't have got them promoted in the first place.

My word that is some horrible defending

Lots of whiskey

I can't see where the next win is coming from.

The reason there's no atmosphere isn't down to there being no drum though, it's down to years of drab, uninspiring :censored:e on the pitch and ever decreasing attendances. The best atmosphere's home and away from BP in recent years haven't had a drum. Maybe I'm biased, as I really dislike drums at football in general. They're up there with vuvuzela's and those clappy stick things that were handed out at our last playoff games...
