  1. It's alright. Newport, Cardiff and Swansea whenever they drop down can't complain though. They are Welsh teams given the right to play in the English leagues, it's never been a British league.
  2. You really think so? I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that returning managers are just invited back for a cup of tea and a chat about salary expectations.
  3. I wouldn't mind him back, but I wouldn't go sacking a manager to bring him in. And he'd have to interview again. Impressively.
  4. Success is the same for us as any club: Improvement in the way of higher league positions, promotions and trophies. Any thing less is at best inertia and at worst decline. Inertia is tedious but is looking bloody ambitious at the moment.
  5. My old next door neighbour gave me his old Latics rattle when I was a kid. It's lovely. Home painted blue frame and tangerine flappy bits, with skew-whiff gold lettering spelling out "LATICS" on the blue. It makes a hell of a noise. I've never actually tried taking it to a Latics game but it went down a storm in lieu of a cowbell when the Tour de France came through Yorkshire last year.
  6. I don't like FC United, but I do respect them. Having said that, Chesterfield to Manchester on a Monday night is hardly a Fogg-esque trip.
  7. David Eyres. He only sneaks in having retired in 2006, but he wins hands down for me.
  8. All is forgiven, I'd change my name to something less ridiculous if I had two first names.
  9. Only to her mates. She goes by Amplify Dorothy officially.
  10. That makes sense. I was a bit puzzled by their ant-TV stance as they'd already been televised on a Friday night against Rochdale a few years back.
  11. In 2013 I was in a little shop in Wadi Rum wearing a Zidane tee-shirt. An old Jordanian chap recognised it and in broken English started talking football; asking where I was from, did I support United etc. When I said "Oldham Athletic" he screwed his face up thoughtfully for a moment before lighting up and proclaiming "Ahhhh! Scholesy's team!"
  12. Exactly what I was going to say. Dalglish won four league titles and two FA Cups for Christ's sake. When you do your second draft of Ferguson's CV he'd probably appreciate you including Rangers.
  13. My memory's hazy but I think we signed Lee Hughes after the internet had become a popular communication tool. You're right though - these thing's don't fade away, but those who stand to benefit will happily ignore them.
  14. But correct attendance has little to do with footballing knowledge, which is surely the name of the game.
  15. I'm definitely making the trip. Might only scrape kick-off though, which is a shame as I'm sure there's loads to do in Gillingham on a Saturday lunchtime.
  16. Rugby doesn't necessarily go hand in hand with a :censored:ed up pitch. We've got good ground staff, with warning they should be able to prepare sufficiently.
