Let's get a grip lads. It's a bonus anyone coming through the gates, and that's that. They can be wearing a Man U top, be born and bred in Shaw and even be Protestants for all I care, and I'm not even joking about the last two. I think Dave Og might have his own claims to having been a proper fan over the years, people shouldn't be too hasty to judge without knowing what is going on in someone else's life.

Dave Og; much respect for your excitement. As I live in Australia, my first game in 13 years was against Donny on Boxing Day last year when we came over for Xmas. Up until that point, my Aussie wife couldnt understand the screaming and shouting at my laptop at stupid o'clock listening to Gordon and Roy over the years. Nor could she figure out how I could just talk to anyone on the street. Come Boxing day and watching me talking bollocks and laughing and joking with Latics fans that I didnt know from Adam at BP, she understood. At 5:49 last Sunday morning when Matt Smith's equaliser woke half the neighborhood, she actually joined in. It will always be in your blood Dave. Enjoy your day!

Laughed and cried at the same time when it showed him punching the air after Smith's leveller.

Emotional kudos from Brisbane to PD

 

I don't want the Harlem Globetrotters though.

I agree. If they cannot get a ball 8 1/2 inches in diameter into a rectangle 24 feet by 8 feet, how the hell are they going to get it through an 18 inch hoop?
