Nah, what a load of crap. Too much stuff going on! Some of the things don't seem to work (such as 'classic games'). I can't fathom out what the hell is happening. Dont't fix it if it ain't broke I say. Bloody progress , I don't know!?

Given that most of our strikers seem to only play the supporting role and that Porter is our only out-and-out striker I think we'd have to risk a half fit goal scorer than none at all. Earlier in the season I might have thought differently but this game is so massively important it's a risk i would be prepared to take!

At Latics recently I was thinking of chants that seemed to have gracefully fallen into oblivion never to grace our terraces again. I like the modern ones but whatever happened to "oooooooohhhhhhhh bull**it ahhhhhhhhhhh" (when goalies are taking a kick)? Or maybe the hilarious "she fell over"? Can anyone else think of anything else?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes to everything positive everyone has said about the mighty "Warney Warney Warney". He is effing amazing this year!!!

Looking at the table we need 9 points to be mathematically safe (if swansea or carlisle win all their remaining four games). I wonder if the players know that? Hopefully swansea and carlisle will lose a couple of games and make the maths a little easier on the eye. Sheridan should be rollocking the players before they go out and maybe they might start playing when the referee blows his whistle to start the game. Saturday is a must win. I've been saying that for the last 2 weeks but those draws just make it much more so. Anything less than 3 points is a disaster in my book and would start our descent out of the playoffs. I'm still keeping the faith but we all know how football works when momentum takes over. Come on the lads on sat!!! Do us proud.

Given that we really should have won our last 2 games comfortably but keep stuttering against the lower teams in the league, is saturday against Cheltenham gonna be as easy as everyone thinks? With everyone having weary legs and Porter not understanding the offside rule have we got enough steam left in us? Everyone else seems to be picking up momentum (Where the hell did Blackpool come from?) and our lot seem to be cantering. Fair enough recently we have salvaged some valuable draws right at the death but why do we only start to really play when we are nearly down and out? Who honestly thinks we can do it? I'm beginning to doubt it. A win on saturday would make us almost safe I reckon as long as the ones below us lose. Fingers and toes crossed!

If i'm truly honest we probably don't deserve to qualify for the playoffs any more. I hate to say it but it's true. Where has the players' determination gone to. The easter fixtures and next weekend should have been 9 points. We'll probably lose that one too. I've been so confident this weekend that we were on for 6 points but look what happened. Maybe I should help the team and be negative. We just seem to play rubbish against the lower teams. I cannot understand what has happened since the Swansea away game. Top of the league to this!? Anyone else agree we're crap and the players need a good slapping?

I agree with lady latics. Most Latics players are succint and very punctual but not at all boring. Earlier in the season Andy Liddell was asked if he ever got bored or lacked passion when playing footie. His answer summed it up. It went something like this: "I get to paid to play football. How good can life be!?" Ha ha ha.

Yeah. A load of Scousers givin' it large on live telly. I can see it now... "ay lah, we wer fuhhin boss. Just like the river merrseeeee - never stopped running!" ha ha ha ha.

Nah you're all mistaken. I reckon it's an ageing Hitler! ha ha ha

I recently went to a sportsmans dinner in Chester at which Matt Le Tissier was doing a speech. He had some cracking anecdotes about managers, fellow players, referees and so on. In particular was a story about a referee who, on a particularly cold day in the dying seconds of a Southampton FA Cup match muttered to Le Tissier to do something so they didn't have to suffer the cold for extra time as well. On hearing this, Le Tissier (footballs lasiest ever player) got the ball into the opposition area and blatantly dived going down like a sack of spuds. The referee happily gave the penalty and the match ended thereafter. Brilliant! Footballers do have a soul and a sense of humour. It just goes to show ay!?

I hope City go down cos then when we play Leeds and City next year after our triumphant end of season play off victory that'll be an easy 12 points on the board! Up the blues!!!

Forgive my ignorance but who are "notlob"?

I personally am salivating at the mouth watering prospect of waving to Leeds fans as they go tumbling past us on their way to league and us on our way to the dizzy heights of the Championship. It couldn't happen to a nicer club. I also loved singing "we're going up - you're staying down" to the dirty Tranmere fans. I just love to hate those 2. Not really sure why though!? Anyone else got an inate unfounded hatred of another club - don't put Man Utd (it's too obvious!).

Nah, you're all wrong! Pogs all the way man. A great keeper. Shezzer obviously showed faith in him in bringing him back to Boundary Park and I wouldn't go against the mighty Sheridan's word. Show me a keeper that doesn't make mistakes!? Paul Robinson - Englands number one (which isn't hard if you ask me nowadays!) is a good shot stopper but continually gets caught off his line. If it wasn't for David James (who currently shares the record for Premiership clean sheets with David Seaman) then Portsmouth wouldn't be as high as they are but he continually makes massive gaffs! Keep the faith in Pogs my blue bretherin and he won't steer us wrong!

I was suckered in by it. Ha ha ha. I literally couldn't sleep for like 3 hours!!!

Ha ha. Ronnie Moore you're a wa**er. I bet all the tranny fans look like thsi when they find out - ha ha ha

I fell for it hook, line and sinker dude. I couldn't bloomin' sleep for like 3 hours. I felt physically sick. Roll on a weekend at Nick's for Weemberrley, Weemberrley!

Name? Rick Location? Manchester How Long Supporting the Tics? Since before I was born! It was predetermined by my fathers father! Best away match you've been to? Huddersfield 3-0 this season or possibly the Bolton quarter final from back in't day when the mighty Darren Beckford scored. All Time Greatest Player? Rick Holden by a mile. Officially the slowest player on earth but could skin any right back (or left back too)! Biggest Rivals (in your eyes)? Dirty Tranmere!!!
