god you're bloody dull.

Sorry, but from someone who has gone to every home game this season (this isn't a dig at you Alps) he hasn't had too many howlers at all and when he's played he's been his usual steady eady. I wouldn't say he's 2nd choice.....he's being cleverly rotated with Dickson and by doing that we get the best of both. 2 good LB's that are probably the best at this level.

I think what he's trying to get at is that it's pointless spalshing the cash when it's not urgent, as if we get stuck down here finincially we could end up in **** creek again. Even if you have lots of money it's always better to be prudent with it, rather than just spending it because it's there.

you cut the bit out where i justified what i meant...clubs are producing good young players that go on to get into their first team and maybe move to mid-range prem clubs. But i cannot see clubs producing players that go on to be ''international stars'' and champions league players at the rate we are. Look at Bale and Theo...and if Alex keeps going the way he is he should be as succesfull as them.

Bit harsh, compared to what we've had there in recent seasons he's been a breath of fresh air. IMO anyway.

I can't think off the top of my head of another club that is consistently producing young players at the level we are. We're not just producing ''good young players'' we're producing young players that are tipped to go on and become international stars. If only we were in the premiership...does my head in! Then we may have a chance of keeping a talent for more than 12 bloody months.

Grab your ticket for Arsenal Charlie. You keep saying you'll be off, but you never quite manage it. Anyway i will be very suprissed if he's not here in feb. If he's here on a loan back then so be it, but he'll be here for the season. Cortese will not want this to damage our prospects this year.

I'm not suprised, we don't need any ''major'' signings. We could well be better off waiting till the summer ''when'' we're promoted and see if we can attract real top top players. At the mo the squad is ok and should get us to the championship. but lol@alpine again.

Richardson is a good shout, but i totally agree with Seaborne. I think he's been one of our most improved players tbh, although he's never been as bad as some people make out. I'm not surprised clubs from a higher league are after him. Will be a v good player, he's developing into a proper CB. Also morgan has been a joy to watch in recent weeks. He's majestic at times.

Probably by Saturday...and once we get there i can't see us dropping back down.

Listen, since we've been in the building we've inherited a fantastic group of hard working professionals. They're now on the bus and the wheels are in motion. It's as simple as that.

Totally agree...but some people don't see that. We need to have 2 lambos, 2 lallana's and 2 Oxo's apparentley to even stand a chance of promotion. This is kind of what happend to us at the start of the season - Lallana injured, Lambo totally unfit and injured and Chambo wasn't completley established at that point. Like you said - take Messi and Xavi out of Barca's team and they'll never be as good, it's the same with us and the same with most teams in the world. ...At least we're not a 1 man team though.

I bet that move is more of him being ''pushed'' by Eddie Mitchell as the money they have been offered for him is too good to turn down? It does make him look a bit of a plank though after coming out 2 days ago and saying how he will stay, he loves the club etc. Would have probably been better for him if he moved the first time.

Let's not be too negative! I know it's odd seeing us win every week and beating (the right) records for once - but i really believe we'll win this and win it well. Lallana, Guly, Lambo and Chambo are on top top form at the moment and it's very hard for any team at this level (or even lower half champ) to contain them when they're on their game (look at Hudds/P'Boro etc - they're much better teams than Notts County and we totally thumped them) Another real plus for me recentley has been the form of Morgan, i think he's been magestic. If he continues that and the front 3 get their usual service, it'll be fine.

i'm honestly not bothered if we sign anyone or not. (just Guly) Our squad is already good enough. Next summer we'll need to add a few more though.

The last thing we need is a player hanging around the place that doesn't want to play for us. So if that's the case get rid of him, on loan or whatever. Although I honestly don't think he'll find a better club than us to go to. He's destined to be a lower league journey man.

You never know trousers. P'boro may have a new manager in place by then, so the new manager effect may work in our favour for once. They're not a bad side and will cause brighton problems. I don't think it'll be easy for Bournemouth at Colchester either...tricky place to go..... Still - let's just win our game. If we keep doing that we'll be ok anyway.

Lambo is a changed man recently, that break over the xmas period has done him the world of good. He looks slimmer, quicker, sharper and fitter and that's why we've started to win handsomely again. Last season he was still pretty hot on assists though, 23 assists in all comps I think which shows how important he is to us. Glad to have him back.

docker-p, what are you on about, do you really think that?

what awful reporting that is. just because Sir Alex was in the stands that means he's entering the race. He's not checking up on a team that he's facing in a couple of weeks then? Chambo will be with us till the end of the season. After that he'll probably move on.

..Do we really need anyone??! (other than Guly signed up)

Some oldham fans views just for the hell of it: true they were awesome. but its like i have all ways said money talks Terrible, but all credit to saints, they are immense!! played us off the park even if we were on form we would have got no where near them Sry to say but i came away at 3 nil as i could see more goals coming. We gave them too much respect, and had no answers for their quick passing and pace and also their strikers who score goals. SAINTS are Champions for me by far. First time this season we have properly been outclassed and thats an understatement.All were poor.Too many wasted clearances and wayward meaaninless passes.No player did anything to earn praise.Southampton will go up.They are well organised,had a game plan by making our fullbacks look poor,were slick,made their passes count and knew where the nets were. they are a fantastic team who play football and take their chances. I thought last season they where good when they came to BP but this eason they will go up as Champions on that peformance. They blitzed us away and maybe we have too mnay young players. Tonight we played a bloody good team - with a couple of Premiership quality players. We fielded our strongest side and we were soundly trounced - but its not the end of the season. We are still capable of making a bid for the last playoff berth. Other than Southampton - the rest are not that much better than us. We need to get behind our young team. Keep the faith. seriously though we've been in this Division 14 years and I have never seen a team as good as the one we faced tonight, we did very little wrong tonight until it got to 3-0 then we just threw the towel in and brought on Brooke, Millar and Feeney.

It is really bad tbh. It's not just match days but it's like this whenever anything of note happens at this football club. It's not fit for purpose at all. There are so many other forums around on the net that seem to manage it but don't charge their members.

He's done a great job so far. Everything is set for us to continue this form too. Oldham fans say we're the best team they've ever seen at this level in their 14 years here.

We are really going to ''Win it for Markus'' he deserves nothing less, great man and he'd love to see us playing like we are now.
