    Seemed to be a team player when he was laying Baxter's goal on a plate the other night.

     

    It's amazing how recent form/goals/assists get forgotten off the back of one frustrating team performance.

    Isn't that the point though? He (apparently - long distance fan here too!) shows he has talent but doesn't seem to be bothered/is incapable of stringing it together consistently?

    The 1st half in that game was superb. Henry & David Currie. It's also the reason why Wednesday went on to buy Warhurst off us because of his 2 assists...... and look at the Away following on the top tier of the Leppings Lane End.....

     

     

    Just realising watching this that I genuinely loved every single player for Latics back then. God they were incredible days...

    Biggest attendance you've at BP and biggest away following...

    Not biggest attendance but did Burnley fans end up going in Lookers stand cos the RRE was full, mid/late 90s?.

    I think that was 1999 time, night match at end of season, a 3-3 draw. I think they needed a win to stay up and were 3-1 up but we fought back. Grobelaar was in goal for us and (I think) Ronnie Jepson actually scored a goal for us!

    First match

    Remember that one Sheffield United had a team of right dirty bastards in those days and had 2 sent off before half time in the days when Ref let almost anything go. Glynn Snowdin and Marshall scored from memory.

    Yeah, bunch of Dave Basset thugs. They always gave us problems unfortunately....

    Best opposition player?

    Kanchelskis. Ripped us two or three times. Saw him on a TV doco while channel-hopping recently. Jeez he's put on some timber. Also remember Paul Merson playing well at BP a couple of times. Mark Tyler had the game of his life for Peterborough against us once. Also David White had a brilliant match against once when City crushed us 5-2, think he got a hat-trick?

    Great Latics debuts & instant cult heroes....

    Yes it was at Oakwell mate ‘The Enforcer’ made his debut that day too.

     

    those two and Hallworth signing a couple of weeks later along with Ritchie, Bunn and Wright returning from injury over the coming weeks saw us to safety. It was more a case of out scoring the opposition as we couldn’t defend for shit that year!

    ^ This. Thought Royle had pulled it off again after Milligan had jumped ship for the 2nd time.....

    Yeah. To be fair I think he did okay for his first season with a few other good goals (from memory) but he wasn't great. If you look back we still had a good team at the start of the 94/95 season with Sharp, Gerrard, Ritchie, Jobson, Richardson etc. Think we were bit unlucky in a couple of matches early on but then Royle left and it was Goodnight Vienna....

    Sounds like he might be "a bit of a character"

    Last played for an unpronounceable Bulgarian side last season but left them after some sort of row. Listed on the Japanese website as playing for us. Maybe we just signed him to keep Placide company.

    Our fanbase is amazing at times. Corney lacks ambition, wont invest blah blah. Years of stagnation.....more blah...... Pics appear with a four times CL winner World Cup playing AC Milan 640 high profile games and 99 goals but he will be a shit manager.....  and bugger that Wellens is the answer. 

     

    Ok hes got a masters degree in business, speaks 6 languages and has a champions for children foundation and Nelson Mandella legacy involvement. So clearly nothing about him. He was often seen as a spiritual, intelligent and articulate figure in football ...... nah lets get Alan Stubbs. 

     

    Come on it might fail it might just work....... but writing him off is mental. 

    Get this poster a drink.

    I hate getting abusive on internet forums (most pointless thing ever) but seriously...can anyone moaning/having reservations/whinging etc about this PLEASE, PLEASE shut the feck up and do one?
    It's Clarence Seedorf. CLARENCE SEEDORF. He might be managing Oldham Athletic. Even if ends up being cobblers, isn't the fact that we're even discussing this absolutely  fucking brilliant?
    Think about it. Clarence Seedorf as Oldham manager. George Weah as assistant. Orange/Tangerine (whatever) wigs everywhere. 9000 camera crews for his first game. News crews from Japan interviewing fans. Total football. The players' reaction when they see Seedorf walk in the dressing room for the first time. It's mental. it's brilliant. It's what football is about. Enjoy it.

    Decent record at AC Milan, knows the management role, untouchable club career, superb world wide contacts and bound to increase interest in the club no end. Why would anyone think this wasn't a really good move?

     

    We can't survive on this constant churn of failed or inexperienced managers and finishing 17th. Kelly and Robinson were the last two 'new' managers hired. I think Seedorf could be great for us. We can't go any lower than the current position. 

    If Seedorf is appointed, the club should make his first home match half-price entry and make it an 'Orange theme'. Get the orange wigs, old Dutch shirts out, get some Dutch fans over. Get BP buzzing. 

    Ruddy's save - Best save seen live

    Yeah, I was stuck in the corner with a terrible view near the piss-throwing QPR fans but even from there it looked a worldie.

    Hallworth's chase back and push away away at WBA was brilliant.
     

    Not brilliant as such, but Gary Kelly's two penalty saves v City - one from Kinkladze at home when we beat them 2-1 in the otherwise awful relegation season of 96/97 and the one from Gareth Taylor when we beat them 2-1 at Maine Road a couple of years later  - were sweet as well.
