11 ot the 12 above are GMCL members?

Royton Werneth Oldham Delph Crompton Shaw st Pauls, friarmere Moorside Austerlands GlodwicK. Hollinwood Greenfield. .......most own more land than Latics and 9 are thriving

Oh yes .....

...but won 4-0 nevertheless ?

There are other options too.....did you not see the Premier League campaign this weekend? ?

....or just incorrectly generalising?

It is that bad that you can't buy a house for love or money in certain parts of the borough....try Uppermill for example....a house in Lydgate has just sold for £5 million.....it has a top independent school ...9 thriving Cricket clubs........

Without any knowledge whatsoever on my part is there any possibility that it is Abadullah in whom they are interested ?

Can proof be anything other than incontrovertible ?

I was informed at 2.30 today but posted nothing until club statement. As the press would say " sources close to the club"

Serious Fraud Office also in attendance . 8 in Club office and 6 in OEC

That pie you have not eaten for a few years will probably still be available a week on Saturday ?

You don't there is real meat in the pies at BP surely?

I bet you like me could say what colour the other 91 teams play in? .....I bet supporters of the other 91 teams could answer the same question about us and 100% would say blue and white I don't know about you but I could not tell you the away shirt colour of anybody we have not played this season......I have no objection whatsoever ( indeed the opposite) to playing in tangerine away but I would not describe it as our heritage and I would not want our heritage to be defined by a crooked past chairman's actions......we are not Ausitralians!

We played in tangerine because that was the colour of Ken Bates cement wagons at the time.......not really our heritage

Oops yes.......just shows how much the Chron is being missed by us old sods.......I am worried that now hatched matched and dispatched has gone how I will know if I have died

Doing ok though ( assuming he played) .....They won1-0 away at league leaders today......we lost to the leaders of that league about this time last year

The point I am making is that a goalkeeper , like a wicketkeeper, can absolutely influence a teams approach , pace of attacking and yes potency ......and so too can a centre half captain...........and in both cases the influence can be to increase or diminish certain aspects including attacking potency

.....but to credit one goalkeeper with increasing our potency isn't equally ridiculous ? ......of course it isn't .

Fair comment.....but to accommodate his strengths and weaknesses have we also gone a bit deeper and also play the ball forward a bit earlier and longer than we were doing and are therefore less potent going forward

Sshhhh!.......don't make any reference to a deteriorating pitch.....people on here get very upset

Yes we all hate time wasting but if we. Are winning 1-0 with a minute to go on Saturday I will be furious if one of our players runs off upon being substututed

Thanks for that ....that had passed me by So if goalkeeper lies on the ball and it is still in play there is very little that can /will be done about it

Yep

Clarke was given a 2 and half contract in January? .....so unlikely to be his last season?
