Right. I think I get it now. Have just been catching up with posts. Believe it or not I don't spend my life on here. This is my first time on here. I have been living in the Granada Region of Spain (edit: 6 years ago this June I went) and landed back in this country a couple of months back. End of. P.S. I don't think I have been particularly negative? Just watched 3 utter crap games of football. What are you supposed to say, "Hey, that was fantastic!".

What are you supposed to say, "Hey, that was fantastic!". Of course you can comment on what you see, but your constant referral to the last three games is a bit odd. As is your surprise at the level of football. We were crap a long time before you moved to Spain. (Even in Spain you will have read or known we’ve had two relegations in the last 6 years.) In fact, since 1994 we’ve been overwhelmingly shit. We are right at the start of becoming less shit for the first time in 30 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you supposed to say, "Hey, that was fantastic!". I didn’t have an issue with your description of those 3 games. They were largely poor. I just couldn’t understand why you were extrapolating that so absolutely when it came to the rest of the season and the owners seething and money being wasted etc. Given the run of results and our league position prior to those games. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take that on board. I was, perhaps, to eager to join in the debate and looking back was at a disadvantage because all I'd seen was 3 poor games. It might be my rose tinted specs but I swear the football was better, even in the season when I saw us relegated at Northampton before I fled (starts conspiracy regarding being a Costa criminal!). I`ll not comment now until we've seen out the rest of the season and a decent number of games. Never realised people got so upset at other's views on a board like this. I would never get personal over it, it's just views on a footy game after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll soon learn that the life of a Latics supporter offering a relatively new insight in the form of a previously unknown screen name is fodder for the 'establishment'.....don't let it put you off....the establishment gets stale quite often. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now 2 leagues lower and not all the teams in this league are even full time professional. The majority of the games will be crap but if we come out Victor's in enough of them we will go up. I don't think you are the only one I still think alot of us are still acclimatising to the National League in some way or another myself included.

I'm happy to give Sheron the benefit of doubt on this Beckenbauer-esque piece of outrageous skill on this occasion, or call it a shank instead.

Not a long-shot by any means his 'pass completion rate' is actually near 100% if we count passes that went to the exact player he was aiming for!

It's not just the players who need to change. I rest my case....40 years of watching Latics ... there was nothing more certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
