Yeah think the ref was booking him already before he made the VAR sign

Was our 6-0 over West Ham a record? If so it's been smashed tonight. Bunn's record could go too...

Nice. So he jacks up the rent to unreasonable levels. We move out to Curzon. He then tries to sell the land to housing developers and a hotel chain (to add onto the North Stand). We get 6 months to burn down the stand, find and hurt him and his family object in strenuous terms to the council.

Don't we have a community order or something on the ground? Wouldn't that be a spanner to any house building plans? (or does that only apply if we don't move out?)

What happens when the wave crashes? Remember Wellens?

We're hoping to bring him back.

Were there any pp in 14/15? Looks like we played every Saturday apart from FAC3 day - we'd be knocked out by Donny (sigh) - was it a fixture clash rather than weather related reason?

"A day at the Cottage"?

Umm sorry lads

Think Sylla is for Lyden.

We all know it's going to be Donny away.

Oxford bound? https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/17340514.sam-surridge-recalled-from-oldham-by-cherries-after-fa-cup-heroics/

Thanks Sam

Dave Penney caretaker boss at York. Apparently *not* in the running for the main gig. Wonder if he's applied here?

And Craig Dudley.

OLDHAM - BY MIKE KEEGAN Oldham's backroom staff (who insisted on anonymity!) give their guide to the League Two underdogs… Daniel Iversen On-loan Leicester keeper comes from Denmark. Can't stop swearing in interviews. His first went like this. Reporter: 'You made some great saves today.' Daniel: 'Yes, some f****** great saves.' Tom Hamer Young local lad. Always in front of the mirror. Trots out, 'This is a proud moment for my family', every time he speaks to the Press. Peter Clarke Tough Scouser known as 'Skip' and veteran of 700 league games. His parents go to every game. Could start a fight in an empty room. George Edmundson Defender who came through the youth system. His shoulders don't match his body — they're too big. He looks like he's wearing Debbie Harry's shoulder pads. Gevaro Nepomuceno Charmer who never stops smiling and flashing his gold tooth. Has the award for best-smelling Oldham player and 36 caps for Curacao. Callum Lang Another Scouser. When not scoring goals, he's next to Tom Hamer in front of a mirror. Jordan Lyden Hard-tackling Aussie midfielder on loan from Villa. He's the first to ask the club photographer for snaps of himself to put on social media. Chris Missilou French-born Congo midfielder. He takes English lessons twice a week and has a different handshake for each of his team-mates and staff. Johan Branger-Engone Humble and friendly with odd dress sense. He wears one trouser leg up and one down. We ask if his cat died but don't think he gets it. Mohamed Maouche Mighty Moosh. Hardly played last season and joked that he was hired as a translator for one year (for all the other French-speakers) and a player for the next. Chris O'Grady Most elegantly-spoken footballer ever. Lovely man. Dropped to the bench recently and his response was, 'However disappointed I am, this move makes total sense.' Great bloke. Sam Surridge (substitute) Remember that song for Red Nose Day — All About You. He'll never make a NASA scientist, but he is an unbelievable finisher. Pete Wild (caretaker manager) Raised above pubs across Oldham (his dad was a landlord). For his stag do, hosted a half-pint challenge in all the locals in his district. Meant to be in London with his pals and they had told him he would have to pay for his ticket if we lost. That won't happen now.

Exactly. We should be beating the likes of Fulham - small time, only up there with someone else's money. They'll be back at our level before too long.

And Newport

Barnet at home please

Wild applied for another club's manager job a few months back. Didn't get an interview. Can't blame him for wanting to build his experience before making the leap.

Sylla signs https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2019/january/05012019-sylla-signs/

If I recall correctly

Exactly - if he didn't have to bring players in and worry about tactics, he'd probably have been more effective earlier - he can bullshit with the best of them

Does it? Was LJ expensive? Would a Brian Horton type be expensive? A John Harbin? Don't think you have to spend a fortune - of course there may be an element of giving someone a chance, but if it all comes together...
