Octopus of Odstock 1,905 Posted August 10, 2007 Oldham up to automatic promotion!!!!!!Give me the name of your drug dealer, now! Well, I have been known to be wrong before, so Oldham will probably finish 18th & Carlisle 2nd. Let us see in 9 months time, but I'm so confident they're going up, I've put money on them & that's not a decision I take lightly. Hell, I've not even backed the Royals to stay up.

maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted August 12, 2007 Respect to a man who'll back a hunch with money. I've never bet on a football game, not planning to start now. We were - incidentally - unlucky yesterday, more goal attempts, better goal attempts and midfield domination for the first 45 minutes. Tommy Mooney - 36 years old yesterday - took his equalising strike into our net very well, mind. It's a marathon, not a sprint, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 1,905 Posted August 13, 2007 There must be more to this story, MPFC. I mean, how exactly does a board lose confidence in a manager after just 90 minutes of a season? I mean a draw against a well organised, ambitious team who may surprise this year is hardly a bad result & not one that instantly demands the sack?! Was he shagging the board's missuses or something, a la Docherty? Had he run over the club cat? In that case you might as well sack Sir Alex Ferguson for dropping two points against the mighty hard-trying Royals yesterday... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted August 13, 2007 A question we're asking ourselves. Loads of speculation on the boards from player revolt (possible but too many are very new) to argy bargy with big Fred Story (considered unlikely given their togetherness last week and splashing out £140,000 on Friday). I've heard the following from someone on the non-football side of the club, fits the facts like a glove, highly unofficial, like: The monies for Joe Garner's transfer only started moving this morning, agent etc involved of course. Both sides appeared to have a misunderstanding about how much was moving to which account so Big Fred Story himself took the phone. It took him about two minutes to realise things weren't as he thought and that McDonald might be taking a bung. What is known for sure is that this was followed by the chairman going to Story's office, a brief discussion, Story hauling Macca out of a team briefing and rapidly sacking him. Another odd feature being that TWO statements were then issued, one announcing the sacking, another specifically on the Garner transfer pointing out it wasn't affected in any way by Macca's departure. Odd you should comment on a transfer like that. Story was upfront about not wanting to comment on a few things when interviewed on local radio at 5-30. Possibly wanting to save Macca's reputation and avoid any whiff of scandal at CUFC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,038 Posted August 25, 2007 OI! Who said Oldham were gonna run away with it, looking good at the mo for the Millwall, Orient and Carlisle suppor hereabouts. And Leeds too, given the speed they're catching the stragglers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brinsworth House Baiter 12 Posted September 2, 2007 ASTON VILLA 2 CHELSEA 0 Oh yes! I can sense a trip to Europe beckoning...best renew that passport for next season.

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,161 Posted September 2, 2007 You are delightfully optimistic BHB. Realistically, however, you have two hopes of getting into the Champions League, Bob and No. I must congratulate the Villans on pissing off dear old Roman Abramovich, who left the ground faster than a Shithouse Rat when goal number 2 went in.

That was funny, wasn't it? No doubt writing a cheque for Young, Laursen & Agbonlahor as he went. Oh, & yep, I'm delighfully optimistic, as you so Nancy Drewishly observed. I'm even hoping that the missus will take it up the Arsenal tonight. Sorry, Mods, but come on! Villa beat Chelsea! 2-0! Surely I won't get a warning for desiring and hoping for anal sex with my already bound and gagged (in Villa colours) wife? God, I'm so happy right now. Up the Villa!

DevonDeathTrip 2,294 Posted September 12, 2007 I didn't see this posted anywhere else in the thread, so I must share: Watch American Samoa get thrashed by Austrailia . I am happy to report that American Samoa have made massive leaps since their 31-0 defeat by Australia. No team that they played in the South Pacific Games managed to even get 20 against them. Their results were: Solomon Islands 12 - American Samoa 1 American Samoa 0 - Samoa 7 Tonga 4 - American Samoa 0 American Samoa 0 - Vanuatu 15 I do think that if England were to play them in a friendly, the result could be most morale boosting.
