I spotted him being let pitchside by a steward, but what was his purpose in being there ? Does he have any connections to Vale ? Is he gonna be on our coaching staff ? Was he simply lost and decided to take in a game ? Sorry if this has already been covered, just find it intriguing

surely we cant stop other teams players from playing against us though ?

downboated OP for the boring, predictable ,deliberate misleading title. Why do people do that ?

Let it go people, what is it with people learning the names of refs and such, just dont get it, far too easy to blame the ref, so many people at BP scream murder even when the decision is correct. We all biased to our team, but we expect every call to go our way , they dont support Latics aswell ya know. When we lose 3 nil , its not cos the guy in the middle is against us, its cos weve played utter :censored:e usually. All i expect is a bit of consistency, if they gonna give soft fouls, and soft yellows etc, lets have it the same for both teams

Im gonna go 25p e/w on Tarky, any odds for him ? Think Baxter will get 20 meself, but top scorer will be nearer the 30 mark at one of the auto promo teams, just a hunch, or is that stating the obvious more than a hunch ?

whats this Eddie like then ? "hes a fackin liability" As someone said earlier i think the nickname latvian Eddie is quality, dont really care if hes any good or not now, we need to start signing more players just for their names/nicknames. I would love a Swiss Tony next,or an Iron Mike, either would suffice , im not too fussed

No , because the season hasnt started yet . Im sure the manager is aware we need a new one, and we wont all of a sudden start playing 2 or 3 at the back. I think whoever he signs will have great leadership qualities, and is worth taking the time to get the right man

But what if Baxter is not gonna be here though ? Its not nailed on that he will be, what with SC saying he does have a min release clause, would you be happy for Simmo to be back then, in what is undoubtedy his best role ? I dont like all this negativity towards the lad, to say he didnt put in the effort is just plain bollox. How many of us , who have played football at whatever level, can honestly say theyve not had spells where nothing comes off for you when you try it ? And the harder you try the more it seems to go wrong, i think he has big confidence issues, hence all the talk of trenches etc from LJ. I dont think he will be back , but he will have my full backing if he does, and i trust LJ judgement either way

Or maybe hes throwing us off the scent by telling us thats who it is , and hoping one of our rivals signs the guy named who is actually bobbins ? Or it could be a done deal if we want it already? We should tell other clubs its demba ba's cousin if he is gash

exactly this, we need strikers like this , preferebly 2 like this (pushing each other for a start), but we need them playing down the middle not receiving the ball out wide to find nobody in the mixer, we have to use whichever system is best for Jose imo.And i think we will see this ,due to the pace we already got on the wings, the strikers wont have chance to be out wide too often.

Id say thats the other 15% of him gone, thats deffo him ,unless hes got a twin brother ! Dont mind when players move like this, its a big club with ambitions and the support to be in the prem,good move for him i suspect. Think he will do ok tbh , good luck big Jean. Now we should have a suitable wage free to replace him easily enough

Lets see who the replacements are first, but i disagree Cisak is like a little bitchy brat,not good to build team spirit on,even on the pitch comes across as a bit of an outcast (hey ya ) and Bouzanis distribution makes my piss boil, neither of em are on, or even close to on a par with atleast 5 gks weve had, off the top of my head, Hallworth, Kelly , Pogs ,Gerrard, i could go on but wont, basically what im saying is neither are worth losing any sleep over

Its modern soccer actually, and i too hate it ! Thats over ten mins ov my life down the :censored:ter, its time i would have prefered to have used to celotape my balls to a burning building ! awful review from the twattiest gimp i ever seen

Lets go further than that what about some hidden cams placed at their homes and some shoe cam work would be great lol, no seriously i think that would be good Lags but then knowing them they would try to charge us more. And during the season it would be fantastic if we got to listen to full match commentary , you know like all the way through, could you imagine that ?

Im also pleased hes signed up, but would like to see JYM and another experienced head coming in, with the possibility of Tarky and/or Belezika being loaned out to lge 2 with their wages paid. He obviously has something we dont see week in week out and he is still a baby in terms of centre halves, hes never gonna be Usain Bolt but i think a good football brain and good positioning ( which can be coached ) is more important for a cb. You only have to look back to Gregan for evidence of this, cos he was half decent you know.

Ive still got mine but tempted to cancel, only reason ive not is (hope im right ) i feel it helps the club financially. Can anyone tell me what money, if any, goes to the club ? Surely it wouldnt be too difficult to get a quick word with new signings, current players about new signings or Mr Johnson himself. Cant think of many other services you pay for with nothing in return, so either give us something in the close season or stop stealing our dough.

Wouldn't say pain tbh, just a twinge of boredom at reading these tedious threads, where you can just see from the title whats coming. Knock it on the head will ya

Dont talk absolute bollox, how could you possibly know this ? Are you his partner ? bank manager ? What a load of twaddle

Thought somebody else would have thrown in a Furman by now ! To me its got to be a player from last year who we maybe didnt expect to sign, ie Croft, Korey or Simpson, maybe big Matts had a change of heart. I dont see why they couldnt just announce it today ?

Or to me the term "new" suggests it is replacing an old contract , meaning they have played for us, Robbie Simpson is probably a good shout.

Cant see us being interested in anyone they would be willing to let go (under contract) whos any good , as the fact thats its only them being so :censored: , that we wern't already as good as down before LJ came in.

it would have dramatically changed Jose's season,he would have been top scorer ! But it would depend on the score of the game at the time, and how long was left , surely ? no good if were 2 or 3 down with 5 mins left. Poor finishing if you ask me lol

To be debt free at this level is easy, all you have to do is go in the editor and change it, oh :censored: sorry that only works on football manager

I dont think anybody is really disputing that you boss end, but why choose an Oldham forum to worship your idol ? If you want to chew him off just ask him

What ? That was a joke ? phew atleast i didnt end up getting their names printed on my shirt, and anyway tattoos can be easily removed these days.
