So on he went and drove around the back of the stadium and parked up near where a few other coaches were dropping off. We were at the back of the aisle when we could hear a bit of commotion down the front, and were wondering why no one had got off yet. We were […]
The last two world cups in Germany and Japan were obviously too efficient for Fifa so they decided to head to a country that could be described as a lot of things, efficent not being one of them. Public transport is virtually non existent and I’ve already spoke about the trouble involved in getting around […]
I’m sure that Johnny Bogroll’s view would have been much more interesting that a 32” LCD in Orrell, even if there was a distracting b flat soundtrack, but hell, Mrs Perm has just put Glee on, they’ve just murdered Beck’s ‘Loser’ and it’s either witter on about England v USA or go to bed, and […]
Before we start, I’ve a burning desire to justify why it’s taken me a month to get a start on the season review. The end if the season did coincide with a period where I’ve just had better things to do, but there’s more to it than that. Sat at home, with an 8-0 defeat […]
We were unable to get tickets for the opening game so we decided to head to the Fan Fest in Sandton, north Johannesburg where they were showing it for free on big screens. From Melville where we’re staying it’s a 20 minute drive. Unfortunately public transport seems to be non existent over here so […]
For those of you dreading the sound of the Vuvuzelas throughout the World Cup games, bear a thought for your poor correspondent in Johannesburg. Kept up all night, every fucking night by them blaring away in the street outside my lodge. But I guess being away from home, following the greatest tournament on earth from […]
We’ve had our own mini-break over at “Patch Towers” what with getting over end of season thrashings, having loads of stuff on and falling in love with the world of Panini again there just hasn’t been much time. No you’re never to old, and filling those albums remains the single-most relaxingly retro past-time in the world ever, probably. We’ve […]
You know those fat ladies, they just love to sing. The one that had been hanging around the Latics camp since they beat Burnley, may have started to warble after the Arsenal game, but it was only a warm up. She’d finally get to open her lungs after the West Ham game but that didn’t […]
So what were you hoping for around about this time last week? (this time being 8:25 on a Wednesday morning). A bacon butty? A bit of ‘exercise’ to lift the spirits for whatever comes when you get out of bed? or a good win against Portsmouth to set Latics up for the trip to the […]
I’m really not sure about this game, my nerves are jangling like the cash converters’ gold on a family of scrotes and, worst of all I’m not completely sure why. Yes, we’re getting to the business end of the relegation ‘battle’ but, regardless of this result, Latics will wake up tomorrow with their destiny firmly […]
