Even if we had a ball each. I can't take another week of listening to the depressing crap that they're serving up (the team, not Mikey and Roy who try to find positives). I think I'll join my mate and go to watch Bath City v Welling United in the National League South instead. Welling are managed by ex-Latics loanee, Peter Taylor.

I remember him taking a coaching session for us when I was playing for Oldham Town back in the early 80s. An absolute privilege to have met him.
