  1. Is there a train from Paddington with special OASIS designation, or have people booked whichever was cheapest? I'm leaning towards driving to Bristol but I'm not sure if the simple West Country folk will be ready for the arrival of the first motor car. Sure did Sir, I thought it might be you as more than two Latics in Acton would breach some sort of EU quota.
  2. Long time listener, first time poster. I see Nervous_Tic is also an Acton-based #OASIS-er, that makes two of us... I'm undecided whether to get the train or to drive - why is the London to Bristol train journey the most expensive trip known to man?
  3. Shottingham is a bin of a city. They've got some cheek to slag off somewhere else.
  4. The cost of the shirt is by-the-by, all clubs charge £40 so that's that. Just been on the wearelatics.com site and delivery (if your order is under £55, of course) is SIX POUNDS FIFTY. Who are they trying to kid?
  5. Let's not forget that Huddersfield Town have won the league as many times as 'World's Most Massivest Club': Man Citeh. So, by rights, they are also a big top massive mega enormous banging super huge big top big top club. Massive.
  6. Was that the game where Wellens got sent off really late on, perhaps even in stoppage time, for what seemed to be nothing at all?
  7. Road bike. The loop I did was 28.9miles and I just snuck under 2hours. Bloody temporary traffic lights between Hebden and Littleborough are a shambles!
  8. I cycled up Blackstone Edge today, it was lovely. Down into Mytholmroyd and then back through Tod and Littleborough up to Whitworth. If our players (and ex-players) can all afford to be having golf wagers, they can afford a nice shiny bike each.
  9. Like someone said above, if we could somehow sign Michael Gash to play in the same team as him, I'd be a very happy man.
  10. He was superb at The Valley, he played right-full back that day if memory serves me right. Clearly had the talent, just not the desire to play in the 'wrong position'. Plenty more fish in the sea?
  11. Manchester City are an abhorrent football club. Rotten from top to bottom; bent board members in the FA, rent-a-quote twats (Vieira) talking utter :censored: week-in, week-out, their fans with this false sense of entitlement when they've won the league fewer times than Huddersfield Town. For :censored: sake. They're an utter joke, the ground isn't full when they're top of the league and it was half-empty when they were down in this league. Which is where they belong. When the oil cretins get bored of the horrible fans, piss-poor support and general lack of interest in the club and the all-around losing mentality within the club, take their money back home and leave Citeh to go out of business I will probably die laughing. The embodiment of every single thing wrong with modern football, encapsulated within one subsidised, half-empty council house wasteland in a part of Manchester you wouldn't set on fire, as it would be a waste of petrol.
  12. I don't buy programmes at home or away. I do buy the fanzines at away ground though for a read on the train home. The Leyton Orient one this season was superb, Wycombe's not so great. Why don't we have one? (We probably did to be fair, just before my time)
  13. Train tickets booked through Playershare, any ideas which pubs the hordes (yeah, right) of Latics fans will head for pre-match?
  14. Train tickets for Wycombe booked through Playershare, lovely stuff. (Should be more than 2% commission, cheeky sods!)
  15. This season I have been to: Charlton, Orient, the Gayfarm, Trannies, Dogdale, MK Mongs and Brentford (not against Latics, as that match hasn't happened yet ) I will also be doing Notts County, Wycombe and Bury before the season's out. Wycombe's ground looks like an odd one, in the middle of an industrial estate. That could win 'worst away day', depending on the result. The Gayfarm is a lifeless bin, only surpassed in its soulless-ness by the MK Mongs bowl affair. Prenton Park and Spotland are both falling down, Charlton's ground is alright but needs a bit of tarting up (the away end is NOTHING special) and Orient's ground isn't far away from what BP would be with a new stand stuck on it. I don't think Boundary Park is anywhere near as bad as we all make it out to be. Though I have never sat in the Rochdale Road end, and I never will. View from the main stand is great, and the Chaddy is where we all belong.
  16. I agree with you about Bezelika, he looked composed and he organised the back 5 well. Worst thing of the day was the sight of Rotten Ronnie in flip-flops. What has been seen, cannot be un-seen...
  17. Dianaficiation refers to the majority of the British public weeping at the death of a woman they'd never met. See also: minute's applause.
  18. I'm sure while he's lying in hospital (not dead, as the guy above pointed out), he'll be comforted by the Latics shirt outside a football ground 250miles away. This collective grief thing is really quite strange, people 'praying' for a footballer; if this had happened in League Two no-one would even bat an eyelid. It's like a race to see who be the most grief-stricken person, all this #PrayForMuamba nonsense on Twitter. Rather than tweeting meaningless nonsense, why aren't these footballers/clubs sticking money in collection boxes for the St. John's Ambulance?
  19. Completely disagree. Nothing whatsoever to do with Latics; leave it for his family to deal with, privately. Same goes for every other club in England, except Wanderers. Dianafication carries on, and on..
  20. David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres David Eyres in that order.
  21. First of all, why are you on our board? You won't find any Latics talking out of their backside on that RAWK nonsense. Secondly, stop defending Suarez. Your club has already dragged itself through the mud for long enough on this subject; your idiotic manager and classless playing staff have shown your club's true colours. The recent actions of your fans; the 'Monkey Gesture' bloke and the one who called Adeyemi a 'Manc Bastard' (my arse) reinforces what everyone in football knows: Liverpool Football Club are an embarrassment and a disgrace to this country. Always the victims, it's never your fault.
  22. That night would have been my fourth birthday. Before I ever knew that Latics even existed. How odd. Also makes me feel quite old, at 23.
  23. I most certainly am not! I am thinking of Kuqi's massive grin when he tucked that penalty away. What a champ.
  24. Not sure if you'll see this before you have to head down t' Big Smoke but: Fulham (at home to Stoke) should have a few tickets left. Ticket office no: 0843 208 1234 Milwall (at home to Derby County) won't be a sell-out, but you might need to get tickets in advance. Ticket office: 0207 231 9999 The weather seems to have killed the rest of the games, the next nearest to London are either Reading or Crawley Town. Edit to say: Seem to have missed Orient vs Huddersfield as I had a look down the BBC fixtures. Ticket office: 0871 310 1883
