No Wonder We Can't Fill A Stadium
We looked like a team of journeymen last night, with no-one able to supply a 'killer' pass, and no-one to get on the end of it. I remember thinking at the Wigan match, I wouldn't really want any of their players, with the possible exception of Koumas. Other supporters watching us last night wouldn't have wanted any of our players A far cry from having the likes of Djorkaeff, Okocha etc.

December 1978 / November 2007 Roll Call
Me too! Went to OT to see us win 2-1 when Tony Dunne was captain for the day - can't remember if that was the same season or not.

My Man Of The Match
I agree that Nicky Hunt was MOM I also think that Diouf has never played a more disciplined game for us - constantly tracking back, trying to organise - immense. Only spoiled by giving away a needless free kick in the last minute, in a dangerous situation.

Sky Sports
Just checking the fixtures - surely the game against the scousers on 1st Dec will be moved as we play on the Thursday. Also, just realised what our last fixture is, and recall the last time our last match of the season was Chelsea away

Yoof
Agree - Some just seemed to want to stand up, for the sake of standing up, and to be a bloody nuisance. More intent on watching their mates, than the match

Alan Pardew
If we ever did appoint Pardew, it would waste my season ticket. I couldn't go and watch the Wanderers if he was in charge, as I detest the man so much.

You Great Soft Tart
Worse still, Paul Youngs' singing voice has gone. We saw him at the Albert Halls a couple of years ago, and he couldn't sing to save his life. Was gutted, as he had a great voice. My wife walked out part way through as she couldn't stand it any more.

That Scoreboard.
Unfortunately 'Celebrate with R & R' or something - obviously aimed at the away supporters. I would also like to see the clock go 'negative' at the end of each half, so we can easily see how long of the added minutes have been played

Our Problems Could Be Solved By Signing One Decent Centre Half
I think Sammy Hyppia would do a job - steadying influence etc
-
After Goal Music
Arse - meant to vote YES as I hate the bloody music - it makes us look like a bunch of amateurs, not helped by the fat guys. Just let us cheer (hopefully) - goals are what we go to watch - we don't need prompting

Whats The Funniest Thing You Ever Saw At A Football Match?
More heard than seen In the 70's on the Burnden Terrace, there was a guy with a megaphone. He shouted 'Give it to Reid - Reid's free on the left', and then moved. Then 'Open your effing eyes referee - that was a foul', and then moved again. Just watching the coppers helmets in the crowd trying to find him was funny. Before we got married, and I educated my wife, I used to go with her to Maine Road. Stan Bowles, playing for QPR(?), came over to take a throw in, and with one voice, the Kippax sang 'Stanley Stanley wheres your wife, Stanley wheres your wife'? He turned to the crowed, shrugged his shoulders, and took the throw in. Finally, if anyone remembers Alan Groves playing for Oldham, he was in the paper as he had married a girl who was still at school. He came over to the Burnden Terrace to take a throw in and one guy shouted 'Get of the pitch you child sh*gging pervert' - god knows how he continued to play after that.

Subscribers Of Setanta
We signed up for the hatton fight, for a tenner (I think) which gave us 3 months. I reckon we will can it at the end of the trial, if I can get through to them on the phone. It seems that for anything but subscription, you get told that all the operators are busy, and get cut off.

Yep - that's the one

Quiz Question
Sabinis - cheers Bolty I couldn't remember. You presumably remember the Can-Can then, near Prestons

Quiz Question
Thought Tognerellis was on Churchgate - there was certainly an ice-cream parlour on Churchgate. Manfredis used to have an ice cream parlour on Daubhill.

Bank Top Brewery
That would be the 'old' landlord, not the present incumbent. Flat Cap is no longer served unfortunately, due no doubt, to the arseole mentioned above. He reckoned he knew everything there was to know about running pubs - he had apparently run 'hundreds'. I don't think he ever cleaned the pub while he was there - the gents were a disgrace. He couldn't run a bath

Father's Day
The Stax 50th anniversary Celebration CD, Cultural Amnesia by Clive James, and an electric car polisher for my new toy. Topped off by going to see Jimmy Carr in Liverpool last night. A good day all round.
