Latics and England Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Without wanting to interupt the doom and gloom on this board, I don't know if anyone has noticed, but we are going to Anfield on Sunday. Much as many seem to want to put over the impression that this means nothing, we have sold the best part of 6,000 tickets so clearly it does mean something. Please feel free to use another thread to talk about whether we are going to concede double figures or if we can somehow restrict the side we beat last season to just 4 or 5. Can we please use this one to try and get a bit excited? For what it is worth, I honestly think we will take them to a replay. I have nothing at all to back that up but stranger things have happened. What are people's plans for getting over there? I am hoping to be in Weatherspoons in Manchester from about half nine and then get the 10.19 train from Piccadilly giving a couple of hours in Liverpool before heading up to the Arkles by the ground which was a cracking little boozer when we were there last time. I would imagine that most of the trains from half nine until lunch time will be packed with Latics fans so there should be a good atmosphere both on the way over there and in the city centre pubs when we get there.

Latics_Fanatic Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Said to my cousin today, I either want to go there and win and/or see a good game (even if we get battered). Scoring a goal would be class to be honest, especially if it's first like last time. Quote
dec666 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Either the first, or an equalising goal is the dream for me on Sunday. After that I would take 6-1. Quote
LaticsEddie Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Daytons back, philly, mac and weso could make anfield so I share your optimism for a replay! And with Gary Johnson taking Lanzoni, maybe daddy could lend us Paddy Madden for that vital goalscorer we have been missing... you never know! Quote

Agree mate hopefully fans will sing there hearts out players put in a performance that's decent as for sneaking a replay said that at the end of the game just be are luck to do that be typical Oldham Quote
HarryBosch Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 For what it is worth, I honestly think we will take them to a replay. Pessimist. Quote

We're aiming for the 10.10 with 10.19 as a back up. I'm aiming to take it easy and be able to see upon arrival at the ground this time. I realise this aim and getting into Liverpool at 11am conflict somewhat. Quote
south east latic Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Agree with all the sentiments in this thread. Why can't we go and give them a game? I'll be enjoying a good day out whatever the score. It doesn't get too much better than watching your team at Anfield and hopefully we, as fans, can forget about the league just for a couple of days. Seems as good a time to re-post something I put on twitter a few days back: I've got two tickets for Anfield for me and a friend but they aren't together. I have: Block 126, Row 24, Seat 165 and Block 125, Row 21, Seat 135. If anyone is going on their own and is within a few seats either way of my block 126 seat and wants to swap theirs for my block 125 seat (a better view I'm told) then let me know. Quote
rudemedic Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Getting on one of twenty odd official club coaches. As they leave at noon I think that will leave about 90 minutes of pre-game drinking time. I can see a similar game as last time, we go in front and they come back and give us what is on paper a hiding but isn't really. FWIW we are 13/10 to score with Ladbrokes Quote
opinions4u Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 If you're not going by coach, book the train tickets via PlayerShare WebShop (Virgin pays more than The Trainline). Then PlayerShare gets a bit back from your spending. http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/laticsplayershare Quote
Delph One Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Going to get behind the team and cheer us on to another great day. Back to BP for the replay, but wouldn't be disappointed if we finish them first time. Quote
palmer1 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Let's just beat them at Anfield eh? I don't think I can handle another Liverpool ticket allocation thread Quote
Diego_Sideburns Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 A replay would put off playing Walsall until perhaps they hit a bad patch. Quote
leeslover Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I've said before all our recent era games against premiership clubs that i want to see us score a goal. It's done ok so far so I'll stick by that. Looking forward to it. Quote
BP1960 Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 McDonald and Simpson both scored with piledrivers against Everton and Liverpool away respectively, get your money on Dayton to do the same. Quote

ceskylatic Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Got a Sunday League game that finishes just before 1.00 in Ormskirk,with a taxi ready to pick me up and drop me off at the Sandon for a quick scoop or two before kick off. Quote

MAC0AFC Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 McDonald and Simpson both scored with piledrivers against Everton and Liverpool away respectively, get your money on Dayton to do the same. didn't think about this until now, cheers BP.. think im going dayton to score anytime, tarky to score anytime and maybe one on the latics to be leading at half time Quote
SavageTheBeast Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Heavy rain and storms due for Sunday hopefully gives us an advantage. Quote
petelatics Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 JCH to score the winner in stoppage time! Wouldn't we love it? Quote
Lee Sinnott Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 JCH to score the winner in stoppage time! Wouldn't we love it? I think I'd end up arrested if that happens... Quote

Nohairdontcare Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 I'm getting a very early morning flight from Dublin - forecast stormy, so a swift couple of breakfast pints will be had to settle pre-match-flight nerves. Then on arrival I have as much food as I can eat for soakage and then I'll drink my way to Anfield - where I'm set to enjoy every second regardless of what happens. Quote
