  1. I think it takes a bigger pair to turn it down. How many of us would jump at the opportunity for our own selfless gain knowing there is probably a better man for the job? Although Jose Mourinho wont be available so I'd take it anyway.
  2. Never heard of a footballer wearing a box before either.
  3. Exactly, any manager will spend the resources hes told he is allowed. Its the man who said they can then walked away that caused the problems
  4. More importantly the apologised for having Robbie Simpsons shirt on the wall last week and not returned it, they said sorry RObbie, if you get fined let us know and we will pay the fine. Simon Corney, if youre reading this get fining Robbie now, something around £4m? Soccer AM will pay for our new stand ;)
  5. If this ever happened I think we should try to set up a fans game beforehand too before the drinking starts
  6. I dont like Bradford, but I will be wishing them well on Sunday even though I expect Swansea to be very professional and sail through the game. Im thinking if Bradford can do it, it can spur us on to more belief that theres no reason we cant do just as well in the FAC Plus Swansea are from Wales, we dont want them scumbags getting an English trophy, even if that means our Yorkshire friends getting it instead.
  7. Im more used to Ahh Frankie Bunn... Cool graffiti btw, never approved of this sort of stuff. But when its this, I guess thats ok
  8. I spent the majority of the Coventry game shaking my head at why we were percivering with Smith up front, the way we were playing didnt suit his style but I did say that he could be great with the right type of service. Pinning a team in the 18yard box will always make him a presence that will scare most defenders and goalkeepers. Id offer him 1 more year to see if this has given him the confidence boost to go out and really prove me wrong. Not 100% convinced he will make it but you cant deny there is something there.
  9. Dont the yellow cards hes earnt through the season get wiped on the 31st of Jan?
  10. Anyone with Virgin On Demand I watched the FAC Highlights this morning and then watched the whole coverage of the game inc the 30mins build up before it etc.
  11. Exactly my thoughts, probably his own fault if he's lived a crappy life in denial. Got to be true to yourself if you expect other people to respect you imo.
  12. Haha, I had a wild dream last night that We won the FAC and Bradford won the League cup. No idea what the odds where but Id placed that bet just before the Everton game. Best get down the bookies then hadnt I.
  13. Only play Smith if we are going to be proactive about getting the balls down the wing and playing to the strength of putting the balls in the box. Whats the point otherwise. As long as the lads go out and look like they turned up to win I couldnt care if we made 5 mistakes and lost 5 nil. Personally all Ive seen of Heitinga since he came to England is he's slow and prone to panicing. Lets get some pressure on him and the game is on.
  14. Me too, might start this strategy tonight. Just hope I wake up Sunday to some kind of memories
  15. Sounds much more like the :censored: I remember too. His ship had sailed when he came to us, he was just floating around the docks for a couple of years waiting to be hoisted out of the water
  16. Being 6pm KO I can understand why its been done, already going to get alot of rowdy lads coming in who wont even remember the game the next day I bet... That said theres nothing like an Irish Whiskey during the game - hipflasks at the ready ;)
  17. True but if asked I bet he would do it til the end of the season and theres at least 9 more games to go for him to win the bet for people. Im tempted myself but will wait on Saturdays result first
  18. Is it as short as Leroy Roseniors stint with Torquay
  19. Ok, what positions where Oldham and Man City in in our recent victory? Im not sure but City surely had to be top 6? And Im not 100% ( I kill my braincells with alcohol too much for memories) but was it not the year we beat Bradford to stay up on the last day, its got to be around that time either way. Be close in league positions.
  20. League positions yes but Im thinking the 3-1 Arsenal win was by far the best I can recollect as an Oldham fan. Possibly the best evening ever as my dad took me in the players lounge after the game, brilliant
  21. Dont forget our big rivals Tranmere in that list Pete
  22. Morecambes Jim Bentley has been in charge since May 2011
