rudemedic Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Beating 5 times European Champions whilst in the middle of a 10 game streak without a win. I.e. Winning a very difficult game on paper when recent easier games on paper have been lost with abject performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Mikey Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Whenever we get a larger than usual home crowd, we play abject football, get beaten and lose the opportunity to retain many of the floating fans.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 A team rock bottom of the league and hasn't won in 17 matches play us and finally win. Typical Latics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 It works on at least two basic levels: 1. Raised expectations, only to be crushed. 2. Fear, doom and gloom, only to rescue the situation. That season we were in the playoffs for the first time and that second season in the Prem - typical Oldham. Of course, go into the detail and you can unpick what is an underlying impression that scars you for life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i could face betting against Latics, I would put money on any player who has played for us scoring against us, no matter what position they played in. Typical Latics.
