I thought we had pulled off a coup with Abbott, but he never performed to the level I expected. He could have been so much more. Vonk was a disappointment to me for Latics in his very few games, but at Sheff Utd he performed how I expected

Pawel Abbott - The Latics no.9 curse hit him Dele Adebola - no.9 curse again Reuben Reid - Another pie anyone? Michel Vonk - The reason City have kept being nice since they got some cash themselves. Taken for £350k we were!? For just 5 games?

When Watford were in the Premier League I walked past the entire squad as they left Stockport train station to get on the coach waiting outside. They were playing United the next day. Marlon King even made fun of me saying "you not a bit hot in that coach little man?" as it was blazing sunshine, but I'd left Oldham for Stockport that morning and it was an Oldham Sunny Day (So I was drowned like a rat!) Met the MK Dons squad getting off the train in Stockport too in about 2010 when they were due to play Stockport County the next day. Not something to brag about that one!?

He's useless. He has been at fault for causing Cisak to conceed a pen, and was at fault for 1 (if not 2) goals vs Sheff Wed. He's lightwight, error prone and not cut out for league one football. He's only a kid, but needs time at a lower level where his mistakes don't always result in goals (due to strikers on poor quality also) so he can learn not to do this.

Tarkowski!? Useless to say the least. Lightweight, error prone and not suited for league 1 football.

What about Mark Clattenclown and him sending Pogliacomi off for being elbowed by Mark McCammon of Brentford? He was a joke that night!!

Was just going to say "you've been playing football manager haven't you?" I bought him for Latics (for £4m) when I won promotion to the premier league. Scored 54 goals in 32 games alongside Daniel Sturridge (who i got on a free)

I wouldn't exactly call Cody McDonald an "experienced" player as Dickov described. Played 1 season with Gillingham, and the ocassional game for Norwich the season before.

I was going to say Freddy Eastwood, but I'm pretty sure he's getting a game at Coventry alongside Marlon King. Just thought of another one. Simeon Jackson at Norwich, as they've just signed Vaughan and he wasn't exactly getting a game before that. Might be a loan deal.

While carbrini are our kit manufacturers you won't find me wearing a new latics kit. You can buy better quality t-shirts of oldham market for £1 than the crap carbrini provide us with for £40. The fact that carbrini think it is ok to put their kit manufacturer name, the club badge and their own sponser logo on as transfers says it all. Its as if they want their name to fall off so they can claim "we didn't make something as crap as that".

On WWE's website, it has a wrestler named Wade Barrett meeting his boyhood idol... a certain Mr Gregan! http://www.wwe.com/worldwide/europe/photosuk/barrettinukandgermany/ Was directed to this by my mate as he thought Greegs was still with us. Shame we couldn't hold onto him for a few more months and milk the fact he is on on WWE's website which is seen the whole world over. Couldn't believe it when I saw it!!

Just done some research, and Mohamed Tafer (who we have on trial) is the cousin of Lyon's Yannis Tafer. He also goes by the name of Aziz Tafer if you wanted to find any more on him.

Does Shaun (Alf) Garnett not warrant a place? Remember a sweet wipeout of Jamie Cureton when he played for Reading. Alf was following, then suddenly vearing away to swing back in and send Cureton half way into the George Hill!!

Didn't Winchester get one? The second goal was a cracker though when he rounded the keeper!! Only see goals like that on TV usually!

i was there too. not a bad day all in all

can't believe we didn't guess Phil Morris for Filipe Morais!! How stupid!! I even read about him being on trial with Hull, Portsmouth and Coventry!!

Who is this portuguese striker we supposedly have on trial according to the chron last night? Brown and Morris don't sound very portuguese to me, so pretty sure its not them.

Did anyone notice how we beat them with only 9 men on the pitch? I think a few players are missing Fleming, Lomax, Evina, Christophe, Gregan, Trialist 1, Kelly, Brooke, Jackobson subs: McDonald, Trialist 2, Dickov & Kelly

I'm going with it being Purdie (due to his Darlo connections taking him back to north east) and Worthington (being good enough for that standard in reality, when in his mind he still thinks he should be Huddy Town's captain)

As an example, if someone from London did take up the offer of £28 for a ticket plus 2 £5 vouchers (i've changed it for example sake or it doesn't work for my final statement), and they only managed (time permitting) to get to 1 match then they have just got £8 more out of the guy than a normal ticket. If they come to all 3 matches they will have saved their own pockets a tiny amount, but its extra cash in the clubs kitty and an extra bum on a seat which you mightn't have had before. Also, there is the human-nature thing whereby if you have a voucher for something you are compelled to use it, so instead of spending the normal £20 you'd give the club £58 instead just so you'd feel you got the value out of your vouchers.

I was going to say arson, but Lee Hughes starting it is probably closer to reality!!

maybe he's gone for all these chinese herbal remedies in the hope he can return in a years time injury free!!

Sylvio De Campos Junior sounds like an interesting left back prospect. I hear he lives in the Manchester area too

What about: Phil Starbuck Gary Walsh Dean Windass (couldn't help myself)

just realised where this rumour has come from.... read Warren Feeney's wikipedia. Who is his best friend? and which new Latics player was Harry Kewell's best man? I like the thinking, but zero chance of it happening! lol
