Ok

 

How you can back against in my view is unthinkable. 

If you're (in general) betting to make money, you clearly can't afford to lose it. On that basis deep down come Saturday you'd be wanting Forest Green to win and I could never support against the club.

If we win, I've lost X amount. If we lose. We've lost. It's a no win situation.

Relegation battle is nailed on here, ive never said that before the league actually starts but the end of pre season should be showing the makings of your first 11.

 

I'm struggling to see a first 4 or 5 at present.

 

We look genuinely shite.

 

It's the worst we've looked, the worst atmosphere, the least expectation around a pre season for years on end. Even in League One I had a small amount of faith we might challenge, I just can't see it with this squad though.

Very ‘glass half-full’ attitude. It’s also win-win.

Exactly.  Talk about taking life to seriously.

 

If Latics win on Saturday I'll be buzzing believe me, regardless if that meant losing £50.

 

As it happens, we're absolutely shite and therefore I  see no reason why I can't try and make my weekend a little better by doubling my money on an inevitable defeat.

 

And as for getting down to FGR, bollocks to that.  I did it on the opening day last season and it was one of the most tinpot experiences (behind watching that friendly last night) I've ever had. Utter tripe.

All set to arrive in Oldham for my six year old boy’s first match against Colchester. 

 

It’s fair to say I’m hyping up the prospect of chips and a fizzy drink in the Rifle Range after as the highlight of the day. 

 

Very strange to be planning a day at the football and being apprehensive about the actual football.

Anyone have copies of the team sheets for the three home friendlies they could send me?

Happy to reimburse postage etc

Pretty sure they were typed up on Wordpress - be quicker to do it yourself...

My first rule of betting is never to bet money I can't afford to lose.

For it to be win-win, which is the way I feel about it, I think you'd have to consider a draw being a good result, which in my view it is. Either that or back Forest Green and the draw (or Forest Green +1, which is the same thing). The best odds I could find for that are 4/11.

Having watched a few minutes of ‘highlights’ posted by our junior vlogger, It was more of the same approach that we have seen during preseason. No urgency, no tempo, no attacking plan and defensively poor. 

 

Either the players are saving themselves for when the real stuff starts or we are well and truly fooked 😮

Are you going to correct the mistakes with Tippex or leave them in their original form on the hope they become valuable collectors items?

Absolutely disgusting.

He really cannot stomach any dissent.

Although I  did read it that the 70 yo asked to be escorted out first.

 

I'm really surprised this has not featured more this morning. Have we become that anaesthetised.
