Well, from the conversation I had with him I didn’t come away thinking god I didn’t understand a word of that.

Holloway in the programme this week said he doesn't speak much English, and have seen another player say it too, can't remember who. 

Only time I spoke to him, he pronounced everything clearly and spoke well.. 

but fair play not just an assumption you’ve took it from programme ??

When Gerrard was down getting treatment. Can only assume it was for mouthing off - which seem strange, as he can't speak English. Must have been a voodoo chant. 

He speaks perfect English as a matter of fact. Why have you made that assumption?

The first was a really good insight. Not bothered with the others

Seem to be very very strong in the last 10 minutes... could be Harbin’s doing maybe. Maybe not but boy am I enjoying it!

We were more solid last season because the pitch was a mess and the opposition would have to hoof it which was bread and butter for us especially Gerard who doesn’t lose much in the air. Factor in that we never got many men ahead of the ball and we had a keeper in inspired form and there’s your reason.

im not comparing us to them but it’s the same reason why City concede so many goals and Burnley don’t, it’s how many men you commit ahead of the ball which helps you create chances as you overload the opposition but conversely when play breaks down    Then you’re outnumbered defensively. 

Granted we’ve been poor at set pieces compared to last year but we’re all getting value for money entertainment wise and isn’t that what we wanted rather than 0-1 and 0-2 defeats?

City have conceded less than Burnley this season... so that arguments void? Sentiment is right though.

Correct. A draw in 90 regardless of the penalties that follow will be good enough.

 

Big game in our road to Wembley. Lets hope Wellens can continue what Sheridan started with a rare clean sheet months ago back in August. Could be a huge point that come tonight.

 

Be nice to see 3000 there, weather isn't supposed to be great but hopefully the fact it's Newcastle will bring a few through the gates. They've won at Crewe and lost at Port Vale. I'm hopeful we can get the job done tonight, think we'll win, so given that, we should draw.

 

Let's hope for a decent draw in the last 32.

You’re taking this far too seriously

I’ve said it before we have had decent strikers and never scored it not Doyle we need it’s bryne, be bad news if we don’t keep him. All these league one teams going out is a massively missed opportunity ?

Possibly, but all I know is he def played at Boundary at some point.

Was Scholes on Latics books as a junior at one time though, maybe Platt too ?

No but played for Boundary Park Juniors with the Neville’s, Nicky Butt and Trevor Sinclair

In all honesty, I'll often go on topics that I'm not interested in just to get it off the unread blue look that you'll see if it's on a phone. Now knowing that going on every 'next thread' will use data and cost that bit more money I'll just open the ones I have an interest in ?? Cheers for the info ackey.

Final reminder, you've got a little over 2 hours to get your Bury (h) prediction in;

 

 

Appreciate this... I genuinely forgot last two matches, but back on form when I actually predict due to these reminders. 7pts this week, 8pts the last time I predicted.

Just need to find some bloody consistency with predicting now ?

Note the spelling. None of this Dummingham nonsense please. 

As a side note though - he's had a real upturn in form, I've seen some critique his performance tonight but I actually think he did a very very good job, where he is outnumbered 2 to 1 each time because we're essentially playing without a right midfielder. That's three games in three that I've seen he's been up there in contention for MOTM just being pipped by other standouts. 

Like i say, just thought he deserved a mention because he seems back to his solid best hopefully. Bar the odd slip which he did make in all fairness tonight.

Downboat me randomly as much as you like latics22, I don’t give a shit. 

Keep seeing this every so often. Ever so slightly weird. I know you've said you don't give a shit... but if I ever see it I'll upboat another post of yours to make up for this one's daftness.

Does anyone know what this lad George does for a living? Swanning about up & down the land following Latics whilst caning the class A's (apparently), they got any jobs going cos he must be earning a wedge? 

 

Why is everybody bad mouthing him saying that he's on the gear? People making assumptions on the basis of absolutely nothing. I don't know the lad so I ain't gonna speak about him and presume these things when he might have family members/friends on this board. 

From what I can see we just have a hugely passionate fan, some might say a little mad - you have to be to watch us up and down the country, and he'll sometimes go overboard with the gesturing. Fairplay to him though and he'll learn the hard way in terms of being kicked out for silly avoidable stuff.

Free entry for under 16's tomorrow, just turn up at the turnstile, no ticket needed (any already purchased will be refunded)

 

https://www.oldhamathletic.co.uk/news/2017/october/23102017-under-16s-free/

WHAT ABOUT SEASON TICKET HOLDERS?! FFS. 

... before anyone jumps, I couldn't actually care less - great idea. Do we even make much money off under 16s anyway? Lets just always make it free, they spend shitloads on food and sweets.

I know of a group of 12/14 lads booked on flights a few months ago, only for us to sign a load of internationals and now risk of watching Bilericay.

If they can both get game time together, that will benefit us hugely. These two do need to be brought into the first team set up at some point soon.. the best thing we've done now is take Gerrard out of the 3 at the back.

Wilson Clarke and Bryan (Bryan especially) will provide the back 3 with enough pace compared to what we was getting crucified by teams with earlier in the season. 

But stott and/or edmunson can definitely provide cover for the two either side of clarke, Gerrard should really only come into the side if Clarke gets a knock.
