Those subtitles have just cracked me up, it can't cope with anyone other than the presenter! So funny!

I'd like to meet the person that could lift me out of my seat!

If you find yourself arguing amongst a small group of people about what to call a group that supports a lower 3rd division football club it might be time to have a bit of a think about a few things.

I thought Holloway looked like he was getting back to his best in a Latics shirt. Goals, by his own admission aren't his main strength but his running and holding the ball up are a lot better than many players we've had. He does have goals in his locker as he showed against Rochdale last season and I think we will see some of this before the end of the season. Don't think he was helped yesterday by the ref or by Obadeyi pulling out wide, I think Holloway would be more effective in a front two that played closer together. This will take time for a partnership to develop though.

I thought we were done for at the first pen but Ripley saved our bacon. I was convinced we were done for with the second and Ripley saved us again and then pulled off another save to make sure we took the point. Not a great game, we played it on the deck for some reason but it worked, the midfield had space to run into as they stood off us, all in all a strange game but I would have bitten your hand off for a point at 3pm, at full time I am delighted with a point and for being there when Ripley did that!

I get annoyed when some fans don't appear to recognise potential in some players. Tarky and Eardley are good examples, they have both played at higher levels than us but did their early development with us. When a young player comes through very few are the finished article and it takes a few rickets for them to start to make the improvements they need to make. This season I am enjoying watching Fane and Osei, they are both young, raw and need a lot of polishing. Both are making mistakes and not getting the basics right but there are players in both of them but they both have to work hard to get the careers that they are capable of. Same as Matt Smith, a limited player but once he started making the most of his abilities and teams play to his strengths he will have a career that doesn't make him regret giving up his studies.

That's no excuse.

Yup, and done them up the wrong 'un.

That would work better if it said "Patience, have you must' - That's more Yoda speak.

I like 'em big!

Yeah mods!! It should be Thirdefernce.

Good work by all!

I think they've had that for the last few seasons. Some of them have been taking it a bit too literally.

Well volunteered!

Soooo, are we doing it this year or not?

Nah, the barrell is stocked more and more each day. As mass media spread the pool of people that other people knew about has grown massively, we're set for this for decades. Won't be long before 'Cat bin lady' is a regular on people's lists.

Despite 2016 being as easy to pick as it was to pick the premier league winner I for one hope that Rummy pulls his finger out and gets this sorted within the next few days.

So at this time of year thoughts turn to next year's picks and the vain attempt to beat the grim reaper or to give him his full name Frankly Mr Shankly.... Are we on for 2017? I'm not even going to try and pick a system, I'm just going to put any old mutha:censored:er in.

Blonde Redhead - 23

Did anyone have sanity?

But seriously, blimey! Thats rough pal, shocking news and I hope that you are coping with the shock of the prognosis as well as the pain and discomfort.

And on top of all that, you support Oldham!

Agreed, Labour are :censored:ed. UKIP will clean up all the turkeys voting for Xmas votes in the North. On the plus side, will be hilarious watching the swathes of UKIP numpties unravel once they are elected as MPs and have to actually do something beyond shouting nonsense every election time.

Sod that :censored: cup, I'm bothered about the league games.
