I agree with your comments about Whitaker, whilst i possibly wouldn't go as far as to say he's a disgrace he was appalling today and i thought he was equally bad against Leeds, certainly needs a spell on the bench in place of someone who can put a free kick in/play a forward pass.

I was one of those there today, and agree with most of what you say SUTTS. We did knock it about reasonably at times, unfortunately it was along the back four and occasionally midfield whilst the norwich team looked on. We were reasonably solid at the back but there was a complete lack of options up front. Without Taylor and Abbott we had no trickery or pace to create something from out wide, though Colbeck tried in vain, and nothing to aim for centrally as Smalley is not a striker and Heffernan was pretty anonymous. I do think, however, that we aren't as awful as recent results would have us seem and when we get the likes of Taylor and Abbott back we should have the firepower to send us into mid-table mediocrity. As for the fans today, brilliant. It was one of the best games i've been to in terms of just having a great laugh. Celebrating the corner we won in the second half was a particular highlight!

Anyone else think this shows one of the reasons!? There are certain areas of our support who are, to put it in the nicest way possible, ignorant tools. You sir are a complete and utter pillock

thats his left leg crossing over on the follow through, duh!

theyre's always one eh?! I used my artistic licence to remind everyone of the final score...obviously and before anyone says it, i know the scoreboard was behind the latics fans, not at the cheadle end

you have no idea! its amazing what you'll do to fill the time when bored and unemployed

Eyresy's last minute winner at stockport in 2003, cracking moment!

i'd love a return to a simplified version of the badge, a la that 80s version

id be very surprised if it wasnt given a sponsers name, or even given a community name like the City Of Manchester. But also like the City of Manchester it would probably become known by a different name, maybe just 'Broadway' in the same way city refer to their place as 'Eastlands'. Personally i like this approach rather than just being 'something Park'

Has anyone else got tickets for both adults & kids but have tickets that are identical?

some people take things too seriously...theres certain other people in positions of power doing much worse things!

It astounds me that Graham still hasnt been snapped up, i'd have been onto him the minute his contract expires. Early bird catches the quality striker and all that...

Really? Thats a bloody awful song! I see what you mean about i am the walrus though, there are better songs they could cover but they did/do it brilliantly. Kasabian seem to have a knack for making a good fist of covers, theyve released a few (too much too young, runaway, pictures of matchstick men) and used one song (the name escapes me but those who went will probably know what i mean) as a kind of intro during the gig that worked really well... Anyway altogether i thought it was an immense gig, ive wanted to see oasis since i got into music really (be here now was my first album) so i loved it! Next target: The Who i hope!

thats a deliberate ploy to tempt people i think, they also show the previews for big matches for free but cut off before kick off.

was the 3 weeks not including manufacture?

what sort of logic is it that labels wolfy a sponger exactly? Hes a Latics fan who's been trying since he was 16 to make an impact playing for the club he loves but has been unlucky with injuries. He then gets offered a short term contract, which he thinks about and then accepts, because he wants to give it one last shot before essentially giving up on his dream. He got offered a contract, its not like he asked for it. Honestly, sometimes i think some people just wave stupid accusations around here to look good because they've got nothing better to wave

that st pauli chant is genius, simple as!

quality! :applause1:

SHOCK HORROR! Young men in early twenties enjoying their booze! As dave says, giggs was notorious for partying hard in his early days with lee sharpe, people - and players - mature as they get older. As long as neal, kelvin & lewis return for pre-season training sober and without booze on their breath i couldnt care less what their summer involves!

that blackburn away kits alreet, but bolton have gone for another shocker there!

it says on the OS that he is going to come back after discussing it with the missus. this seems to suggest he isnt sure about staying, maybe he's had a pre-contract offer from somewhere that gives him a large pay packet but involves moving the family, cos he's been getting games and doing well here so hes not really going to umm and ahh about the playing side of things. just seems a little odd to me that a latics fan hasnt decided whether he wants to stay yet, he's had the best part of two years to decide if he wants to stay longer...

i agree, hit the nail on the head for me

those shorts are bloody awful, they look like cut-off golf trousers also, a tenner for socks!!!?!?!?!?

im not sure about how real the first one is, but i quite like the design, as long as the colour was a decent tangerine and not the slightly naff one that appears on the screen... As for the second one, im not a massive fan of black shirts (i see them more as a referee/goalkeeper shirt myself) but thats not a bad design at all, better than the black & grey effort from a few years ago!

quality!
