  1. On a similar note, I always think that the way the pitch at Old Trafford falls away at the ends is unnecessarily risky. A player going full pelt down there could get badly injured.
  2. When the song came out originally I wasn’t impressed by it, but once we adopted it it became indelibly associated with home games for me. To this day when I hear it I’m transported back to Boundary Park in the 70s !
  3. I didn’t realise bulb can be used as an insult! I’m not taking sides between you and mcfluff, but that post had me laughing!
  4. He was vastly overrated by some. Just because his successors have been mainly poor, does not make Lee Johnson a good coach.
  5. Yes, but in Tricky Ricky’s day there were no smart phones and no social media. Assuming it’s Reid’s first offence (with us) then I’d be happy to see him fined and back in the fold, on the understanding that if he commits another then he’s out. But if Mellon does freeze him out, Reid only has himself to blame.
  6. Who knew that Grinch was a Latics fan? We are blessed beyond measure.
  7. Unless there is a specific legal/copyright motive for censoring it, it does seem pretty pointless doesn’t it. Stable door, horse, bolt etc
  8. Though, with Reid in mind, there’s always King Lear Act 1 Scene 4: ”You base football player!”
  9. Presumably he’s been suspended for going public with the video, rather than for whinging about being in on Christmas Day per se. I’m 100% behind the club on this one.
  10. You’re perhaps assuming that Reid can think rationally. Debatable.
  11. Having seen the video, I wouldn’t personally get too wound up by it. It could just be traditional bleak humour, and not meant to be taken seriously. Why on earth anyone would want to film that, let alone go public with it, is another matter. I know we all joke about footballers’ IQs, but dear me!
  12. True, but not quite what you said. I would need to see which of our players he has seen, and how often, to substantiate your claim. Meanwhile, Mellon has been in charge for how many league games? That’s a general question, not aimed specifically at you. Do people expect him to produce miracles with the Unsworth/Thompson/Royle legacy? How many seasons did Ferguson get at United before he started winning trophies?
  13. You might want to withdraw that last sentence after today’s match! In general though I agree with it, hence my opposition to more subs on the bench and three actual substitutions.
  14. What’s your point, caller? Did anybody actually say any of that? Or do you just take some perverse delight in trying to wind people up when we lose? Your posts can be as desperate as they are fake.
  15. Yes but come on, this comment wasn’t your finest: “You must be annoyed Norwood scored and waved his arms a bit today.” Seriously? To a fellow Latic?
  16. 5 permitted subs is a joke, and gives an advantage to clubs with stronger squads. Disruptive as @Dave_Ogsays. It was bad enough going from 2 to 3.
  17. I agree with this. What you don’t say, but must be a contributory factor, is that in all probability your semi pro raised your collective level - it’s a team game, and he couldn’t have won the league by himself. It’s a pity that Norwood can’t have a similar influence when games aren’t going well. The rest of the team would surely learn from and benefit from a player of his skill and experience. We might even string a few wins together eventually!
  18. Guaranteed goals implies a goal (or more) per game. So not guaranteed.
