I remember when we were that abysmal..

[whipper]

To me City was like doing basic training in the army, knock you all down to build you all up together. The big difference it only takes 6 months for basic training, not 30 odd years as a blue. :)

I remember being that abysmal that even my mum who has very little interest in football used to want city to win and would cheer us on if we were on the tv. She doesn’t anymore though ha ha.

My mum would ask how we got on and if I said we drew would use the line in good faith 'at least you didn't lose'.

Used to really piss me off but as she's now departed I'd love to hear her say it again.

Oldham have been to an EFL Cup final, three FA Cup semi finals, and finished runners-up in the First Division (top tier) once just one point behind champions Everton.

Stockport are fucking nobodies yet even those cunts have taken the piss out of us at one stage.

it was horrible living in Oldham. My lad used to get so much shit at school, hates them as much as me.

I live off a road close enough to have seen traffic when they were popular, now you'd not know they were playing, plastic fans that just faded away and either have no interest or turned raggy or both.

Praying the fuckers go down.

And we have been in the PL ever since whilst they've been in the Championship ever since apart from one season in PL, and that was 2018/19 season iirc.

Wasnt in the premier league in 18/19. They got relegated to league one.

I still do that now, I remember spending a bit more time in book shops when fergy had his book out and they seemed to be everywhere. I'd pick them up, turn them upside down then hide them with a totally unrelated book.
Obviously washed my hands after handling it.
I'm not childish,honest!

Similarly, I put that book into the"Comic Fantasy" section of Bredbury library - in order, of course. Close to Terry Pratchett, actually.

He had 10,000 men, but they’re Newcastle fans now.

I'm led to understand that he now prefers younger, female companions.

I remember when we where that abysmal after one match I nailed my season ticket to the main stand entrance, regretted it next day and came back to find someone had pinched my nail.
