The Blue Alb

Chester would be a decent tie for me. Went to uni there in the mid / late 90s and watched quite a few of their games in the 4th tier when Kevin Ratcliffe managed them. Deva was a short hop from student land and cheap entry for students. Good days…

To be fair he was pretty shit for us

An interesting read. I was, and still am, Latics mad but don’t remember his stay with us at all. Must have been very fleeting. A sobering read, thanks BP and a happy new year.

I’ve only really watched him once v Dale in pre-season and I have to agree. Thought he showed intelligence and some good touches, albeit with not much pace. Perhaps the plan is to use him as a link up with goals hopefully from the three behind him. Could well be proved wrong but hope I’m right....

Here here

Zebra Finance just pulled out of any agreement with us over spreading season ticket costs.

JCH in great goal-scoring form for Bristol Rovers, even a hat trick recently. Good luck to him

Sorry but I don’t agree with that at all. True it wasn’t one of his best performances but he is one of the few who can control the ball quickly and consistently and tries to play constructively.

Great Summerslam 2005 reference! I really felt for Clarke - love his leadership and commitment; sadly took it a step too far but I forgive him in a heartbeat for his overall performance. Just my two penneth.

I’d settle for that

Not my response, but assume Maouche and Missile?

Ok cheers

Just read the thread and haven’t seen mention of it. Watched highlights on Quest tonight and at the end Colin Murray mentions Jacques Santini (had to read up on him) was at the game and his odds of being new manager had “tumbled.” Assumed he was talking about us not Vale. A friend of AL’s? Out of interest his Wiki page reports most of his jobs ended prematurely because of various conflicts with superiors. Don’t think I imagined it all although it has been a busy week... All the best to everyone and Latics for 2019

Agreed

Cheers everyone - sorted.

No joy on iPad or phone for me with this

Well I had to be at Trafford Centre for lad’s birthday. Couldn’t get away until just before 3. Got to Boundary at 340. Played a blinder! OWTB

Well done Latics. Couldn’t be there as on holiday, but 3 valuable points.

Don’t post a lot but very interesting and honest posts here. My colleague’s daughter has a Masters in clinical psychology and is at the cutting edge of mental health treatment. A new process called TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) will hopefully revolutionise treatment in this area. My dad, another lifelong Latics fan, suffered a breakdown and had the rather brutal but effective ECT and it has restored him to about 85% capacity. The new TMS is absolutely unintrusive and painless and will hopefully be rolled out in the NHS soon and start improving lives for lots of sufferers. All the best everyone - increase the peace.

Ok. That rings a bell now. Crikey my memory! Always liked him as a player anyway

That’s my memory playing tricks on me then. Oh well...

That made me laugh. I really liked him here though. Thought the midfield he and Wellens operated in was our best in certainly the last 10-12 years, and that wasn’t just down to Wellens.

Oh good, it’s 15

I’m going as I missed the MK game due to holiday and didn’t go to FGR. As such it’ll be my first visit this season. Hopes aren’t high after reading reports on here but actually looking forward to going. As an aside, the fishul makes no reference to ticket prices tomorrow. Really hope it’s a tenner....

Was thinking Hawkins, but Mac for his goal against Everton is also powerful magic.
