It's interesting that a few people on here like the burgundy kit, but do you realise the origins of the colour at the club? It was the the corporate colour of a certain company owned by a certain chap that is not too popular. Still in favour?

Didn't we play in a burgendy/dark red kit in the early '90s though?

I think if we start creating tenuous negative links to colours we'll be playing in aquamarine and purple next year!

programme seller was quite confident that it was big joe's signing...not sure if hes such a good source though!

Decent player - brainless mentality.

He always ran 40 yards to get involved in any skirmish and picked up too many silly bookings for my liking. Maybe if he had a more stable mental side he wouldn't be the same player, who knows?

He won't get applause from me if he ever returned, not because I've anything against him, but I don't applaud anything except good work on the park and I wouldn't want to encourage the opposition

hit the nail on the head there sir!

surely it would make more sense to run the auction again without reserve prices set, to avoid dissapointing those who had bid and wanted to play?

you'd better check upstairs then!

This is the view from Grotton...

yeah thats the one, or someone he got on the wrong side of haha

Can see from where I am, looks like it's over Breeze Hill way from what I can see. Does look pretty huge. Did hear some explosions around 6ish? Maybe some gas bottles at a warehouse have gone up.

its a kitchen factory i think, the smokes been visible from up here in Grotton since about 8.30

Thats a monster of a fire! Most interesting thing to hit oldham since the sports centre fire...

Ere Gaffer! I knew you'd come back! Gimme a minute and i'll get Warhurst n Jobbo!

ive been lucky in that my dissertation has gone fairly smoothly and im pretty proud of it. Having said that i only got it back from the printers this morning and so it hasnt been marked yet...it could still all go horribly tits up!

fingers crossed eh...

i think he should be allowed the win. Its not like people have been hitting the bar with a bounce all the time, its still bloody hard! i couldnt beleive it when franny said he had to hit it first time, very harsh...

I think next season he will be given a chance to push for a place in the Wolves first team. If he isn't getting in, I can see him returning for a stint, but not a long one.

do you really think so? with wolves looking likely to be a prem club next year i can see jones being allowed to leave. i would imagine the stumbling block for us would be the transfer fee though

i think Eardley gets a lot of excessive stick. Its true that his performances this season have not really been anywhere near those in previous seasons but people calling for him to just get out of the club and to be sold for free are ridiculous!

A problem i've noticed previously with latics is we've released or sold cheaply young players who had yet to mature. Its a massively impatient policy, players such as eardley, at 20 years old, are rarely going to be perfectly consistent. They will have good games and bad games. I think its absolutely fair to critisise a bad performance but to clamour for his sale is ridiculous. I believe that unless he is sold (undoubtedly to a higher level should the situation arise) he will go on to be one of the first names on the team sheet, and one of the clubs more consistent players, for years to come.

i'll be wearing my roger tee shirt too. heres the facebook group in appreciation of the great man for those who want to join...Roger Palmer Appreciation Society

Oldham Athletic v Peterborough United...3

Carlisle United v Oldham Athletic...........1

Oldham Athletic v Crewe Alexandra.......3

Brighton & H A v Oldham Athletic...........3

Oldham Athletic v Southend United.........3

Walsall v Oldham Athletic......................3

 

We can do it! ;)

as unlikely as that is, those results would probably see us up, considering we'd enter the playoffs on the back of 4 straight wins. I think i'll join you on the blind optimism boat!

im feeling lucky....3

Talking about the music licencing with hawksby and jacobs...

The word from my mate who is an ipswich fan is

 

''great keeper, looks about 12 but very good shot stopper. Good signing''

yeah my housemate pretty much says the same. just needs game apparently, and the only block to the deal could be that ipswich will need to get a loan in to get splinters on the bench

After the first time i saw him, against brizzle, i said he looks like the worst keeper ive ever seen in a latics shirt. My Dad didnt agree. I like to be right but on this ocassion Budtz didnt need to go to these lengths to prove me right! Especially that 2nd one!!!! Ah well at least hes gone eh...

what? you mean you dont really think kabba is actually gods gift to football? but you had us all fooled! i thought you had joined owtb purely because you needed to tell someone how much you rated him...

if i were you id buy a joke book or look in the mirror, you need to see something really funny.....

Signing Kabba will have added a few more to gate big name player well done Shez

is your first name steven and your initials S.K. by any chance mate?

I know how can anyone say he didnt have a good game! was class

for a minute there i thought i was trapped in a strange parallell dimension... then realised you're clearly taking the michael.

If i could add some seriousness to the debate, i heard kabba played well on saturday, but wasn't particularly impressed last night. i'll give him a few games, see if he can gel with hughesy

So Greegs is sorting Beckford out..

 

So who is sorting Becchio???????

i've got him, don't worry...

polly put the kettle on
