As decent as Whittaker played on Saturday, he's definately no RW or RM. Would have played Black at LB (i.e. his natural position) and played Lee RM (i.e. his (almost) natural position). Would have given us more natural balance I reck.

(Cue Whittaker to put in a MOTM performance now)

Anyway, back on topic....reck Guy's been a decent signing. Not sure how long he's got on his contract at Donny, but it's over at the end of the season, I wouldn't mind seeing him here longer term. Apart from Abbot and Lewi, not like we've got much else.

I was glad to see Taylor taken off as he's been shocking this season and sometimes its like playing with 10 men.

Could be wrong, but I reck he was taken off cos he was injured. He was out during the half time period, maybe seeing if he could play on through the second half.

I like my seat in RRE but it isn't the same as the one from the lookers that is now on a shelf in my garage.

That true? How d'ya get it - rob it armed with a spanner on the last game? Wish I'd got mine now.....!

I'm fairly sure that we only gave him a two year deal when we signed him for United, which means that his contract would be over in the summer. I've always rated him and thought it's been a shame that he's never been played in his favoured central midfield position. Now he's had a fairly decent run in the team, albeit at RB, what do most people think - good enough to secure a new deal?

Reasoned debate at its finest there folks.

Presumed that that's aimed at me and if it is, I don't think we really need to debate why he's pap, its probably been done over about 50 pages during the course of the season. But in case we need it simplifying, the reason he needs to go is;

- bad at kicking

- drops more than his fair of howlers

- is overpaid

- hasnt progressed

- doesnt come for crosses and command his box

- has lost the faith of the team and players - the backline have no confidence in him

That reasoned enough for you?

dean brill is pap. the sooner he gets his overpaid, highest paid player at the club arse out of our club the better. end of.

I presume you mean in the Local Elections?

1. resteraunt for families...unless you live in that neck of the woods you wont go..unless its matchday and your a fan,not when you have the facilities of manchester a little further down the road...

2.the council are claiming its regenerating 2 areas...when in reallity it isnt...bp will be developed for housing....it will only create jobs whilst building is in progress...

1. Well I go to Ashton Moss to the food halls there....and thats further away than FW (I live in Royton)

2. BP being developed for housing and the Lancaster Club being redeveloped for a stadium and associated leisure facilites....hmm, two underutilised areas being developed and creating jobs?? that sounds like regeneration to me. You've also failed to recognise that the BP site would be developed in part for key-work homes which supports and ultimately helps safeguard jobs at the NHS (and police etc.). And what about the jobs at the FW site - the hotel, the leisure facilities, the food facilities, the cinema etc.

And, getting back to the point in question, whilst Woolas gets in his political dig over SP2000, I think the good thing is, that he doesn't say anything alarming about the FW site which, hopefully would mean that, if Labour are elected in May, hopefully the plans wouldn't get ripped up - which is what Lib Dems did over Clayton. All round, I think them responses should provide us with some comfort, even if Alwyn and Kashif didn't seem to know too much about what they actually wanted.

i blame the big breasted beauty for everything

where's the pun in this post....i don't get it?

Broady - on each post, you've just said "good suggestions, all noted etc.", for someone who knows their onions music wise, what's the chances of you actually upgrading the music list at the ground rather than just 'noting' it. not a pop, just want to know if people at the club actually listen to what the fans want. by the fact that you've actually responded to some posts which came across as being critcial of you just shows that obviously you are happy to listen - just wonder if the 'powers that be' are aswell! Cheers....and if I can suggest some bands, the Inspirals and Twisted Wheel have gotta be up there.

Two wins would see us safe imo, win our two in hand and we could be as high as 11th if results went our way.

Positive stuff from Senor.....!

god knows why is still isn't playing on the right.....maybe that way we'd actually get some crosses into the box, which neither smalley or taylor do (or may once or twice a game, max).

why dont we bang him on the right wing - playing him in his actual position might do him some good.

But the point still remains that even if the stadium doesnot go through, TTA can develope this land for other purposes that come under 'leisure', make their £££ back and probably a fair bit more

Theres no money in leisure development, which is probably why no operators are lined up outside the town hall wanting to build a cinema etc. I think even if a scheme is put together for the Lancaster Club on it's self, TTA will probably struggle to get their £3m back. I mean, lets face it, if you're BAE and you know that a buyer is lined up who is gonna put the stadium on your land, or part of the same development, you're gonna insist on a bit more than whats its worth - just to be a pain in arse. I mean, if 30 acres is as rare as TTA make out, then in simple economic terms, if the supplys not there, its gunna force the price up?

I know I paid attention in my economics classes for a reason......

Yes I know TTA have spent money snapping up Failsworth land and do you know what? they've still got it!!!!! they can build houses on it and get their cash back.

You obviously know very little about development. TTA didn't pay a residential land value for the Lancaster Club site because you can't get residential properties on it. It's allocated for leisure so you'll get leisure uses on it.

Using your ignorant thinking, you might aswell buy some farmers fields in Saddleworth and bang some houses on it. In fact forget that, get Oldham Centertainment Park on it..........

Am I the only one who thought CD was pretty decent?

A proper front man back in

Looking forward to it myself, but on the fishul, Pav's played down the chance of starting.....and perhaps there goes our chance of winning.

Pav Speaks

Another hudders fan here! I don't think Goodwin is as bad as my fellow town fan does, he is certainly an improvement on Worthy. I would never put him in defence. He can play a good ball and breaks up play well. Way down the pecking order here so if he does well he will probably be available for a nominal fee!

cheers for the heads up.....

no chance.....

your squad looks talented if the year was 2004

I literally don't get your point....you're saying that nearly six years ago, the players we have woud have been decent. Seeing as though we must have one of the youngest squads / team in the league, I can only assume that you're talking utter pap.

Bring back John Barnes.

he is at dale make some cash i say

i'd go along with that....poor mans Pav if u ask me.

A discussion,or interesting topic? What about.....do we think that 'Robophysio' has been our worst signing in recent years?

who would people rather have

 

Keigan Parker with skill and no interest or

Joe Colbeck with interest and no skill?

I know who you'd rather have......

(for anyone who doesn't know Bowl, he's the one who sits in the RRE with 'Colbeck' on the back on his replica kit).

(I posted this on the wrong thread.....it might be more in context here!)

 

 

I was chatting to a United supporting mate in the back of a cab a few weeks ago (and he's a proper footy fan to be fair to him, goes home and away, Europe, used to watch Latics occasionally etc) and pointed out the proposed site. Firstly he commended the intention, then he raised an eyebrow at the location, then he said "So what's the capacity to be? 20,000?". I sheepishly muttered 12,000. His response?

 

I'd be so much happier if it could be just 25% more - 15,000. For me, the expense would be worth the better perception, status and subsequent prospects, not to mention the additional revenue it could eventually generate.

What, so put the club in more debt just so you can save face in front of your pals?!
