  1. 59 years of people being unable to spell a 5 letter surname, it can get too much at times
  2. Is that our central midfield sorted now? Is anyone else going to come in unless one goes, most likely Flynn. 5 already. 2 goalies , left wing back and 3 strikers and I think that's us done.
  3. Bobby Olejnik released by Exeter. Was handy during his time at Peterborough
  4. would know Carlo Nash from their time at Preston. Is Nash still with us?
  5. Good player, 34 now. played most of Wigan's games in the Championship last season. have they released him? we already have 5 central midfielders and i can't see him being cheap. Maybe Flynn would need to move on to accommodate him.
  6. Didn't we have a young lad last season who went on loan to a local non league side and impressed? I bet BP1960 will know
  7. My memory was that he started up front and was either subbed or switched position at half time.it may have been the other way round.
  8. Languid never goes down well on here....... it's seen as a euphemism for lazy
  9. I've been to Latics with my daughter, who has Cerebral Palsy for a while now. At latics the car parking is good and the entries are mainly flat. Pushing the new turnstiles is not easy for her ( new stand ) but there is a designated disabled entrance however the staff can be a bit disconcerted by someone who is ambulant and they think they are swinging the lead. In general we've found latics good and the fans are terrific and in the main really patient with her and accepting of her disability. Not the woman who sits right behind us and pushes past us on the stairs however? we've been away several times and always been treated really well except once. Accrington were the best where they have the smallest car park known to man and reserved a place for us next to the Latics bus. I was embarrassed and also worried they were going to delay the kick off until she got to her seat! They were so attentive. Bradford, Leicester, Everton , Huddersfield and even Leeds were fine. The exception? Rochdale. 'We only have reserved spaces for our own fans so you'll have to park on the street and she'll have to walk like everyone else ' they lost money for four people that night and when I wrote to them about it ( not a complaint ) I didn't get a response. In general I think football reacts better to disabled people than the general public and certainly better than the media would have you believe. There are are a lot of people I believe who think treating people equally means treating them the same (or some people even worse) but as we are going to have a greater percentage of the populace who are going to be disabled maybe there will be more change in public opinion. just my thoughts.?
  10. My take would have been it must be incredibly frustrating to come in and train every day knowing that you're never going to play and if the other guy gets injured the manager is going to bring someone in on loan to play ahead of you.
  11. That's normally the way it works at concerts, theatres, festivals etc. Never made use of it at football matches
  12. sorry for being thick but does that mean that the exception of the 5 is Kettings? Also have we heard if Mason Fawns has signed yet?
  13. I checked this after I'd posted! I couldnt believe he'd only been there for 2 1/2 years. It shows how bloody old I'm getting. And it's June already when we've only just had Christmas.
  14. That's interesting, he's been a fixture at Colchester for around 5 years now and still scoring goals regularly.
  15. A chap called Lazslo Biro once had an idea about that, don't know if he went anywhere with it though
  16. I think you have to be of a certain age. Ink wells in school desk and huge bottle of Quink controlled by the ink monitor.
  17. Yes I would think that is likely unless Liverpool decide wards better than the other two dodgy keepers they have which they might well do . Coleman might be first choice keeper for Huddersfield
  18. Shrewsbury away something like 1986. 2-0 down at HT brought it back to 2-2 and missed a pen in the 90th minute. Broke away and got the winner in injury time.. Palmer hat trick ? Pelople dancing on car roofs in the car park. i may be making this up.?
  19. You can add John Keeleyl to that list. Brilliant against us, crap for us
  20. Tony cottee. There was a time when we played Everton regularly in cups.wed have a chorus of what a waste of money and 2 minutes later he'd go skipping away and score. Got to agree with Andy Peyton. Seen him score many times against us
