Have a look at the photos on the Latics website:
and a whole load of them look as if they are wearing sports bras outside their football shirts. The garment isn’t all that dissimilar to Ali’s.
What is going on? What are they? Do I need one, signed, preferably?
Not sure if your post was tongue in cheek, but here goes…they are fitness monitors. The device at the back collates data such as body mass and heart rate etc. They will take those bibs off and the data from the monitor will be downloaded onto a computer to give a profile on how fit the player is. I think they have to wear them away from the training ground so that the the club can keep a check on their lifestyle, rest time, nutrition etc.
Just think if these things had been around when the likes of George Best, Stan Bowles and Frank Worthington played. They would have plugged in their monitor after a couple of days away from the training ground and blown the PC to smithereens.

What a journey!Our chairman feeding us lies again, he definitely said there would be 15 signings in this window! :angry: :P

What a journey!Just signed 20 year old defender Jack Hendry from Partick. Apparently impressed Caldwell in the pre-season friendly against them. :cheer:
4 year deal and undisclosed fee. :ohmy:

What a journey!I thought it was £40m, did he not say he would match the £20m that we got for being in the premier league?

What a journey!I must have watched a different game our midfield was awful and grigg well not impressed so far
If we had played a better team we would have been beat with that midfield on show
Only good thing was the deffence and the guy who won the champagne bar ticket
Saying that one guy stuck out in midfield and did really well jacobs was a cracker as for the others poorMe thinks we got a lightside and darkside forming again here.
Just because they didn’t score, it doesn’t mean that Grigg and Davies had a bad game. Both players have a fantastic first touch and hold the ball up brilliantly. There movement off the ball is also superb, as we saw with the Grigg header that hit the post.
15 attempts at goal yesterday with 9 on target, when have we been producing stats like that since relegation from the prem.
I like to see forwards scoring goals, but it won’t bother me one bit if we keep winning and both these two make the contribution like they did yesterday.

What a journey!OK we’ll talk Rotherham, another team who didn’t fancy him long term or thought he was worth spending any bucks on.
He played 27 games for Rotherham, almost twice the number of games he played for any other club, the next highest being 16, still not good reading Terence.
I thought I’d answered this one, in that Rotherham couldn’t compete with us on the money front, they aren’t a wealthy club like us. You making things up again just makes you look a bit thick. He played 30 times for Rotherham and scored 5 goals as a defender and won player of the year, does that not make good reading in your mind then?
Did or did you not mention that these players would be playing in front of 40,000 fans? Sorry I must have dreamt it.
You didn’t dream it you’re just making things up again, my exact comments were these, read it, process it, understand it, if you are capable “Tavernier and Waghorn are too good for Division One and will be playing in the top division in Scotland in front of 50000 next season. Good move for them both.”
If you are not just quoting the Rangers games [see original post / topic] what are you weeing in your pants over these two for?
What I am doing is responding to your idiotic comments, if you can’t see that I am not just quoting a handful of games at Rangers there’s no hope for you. I’m simply backing up the fact that I think both players deserve more credit than you were giving them
I’m beginning to think your 9 cans short of an 8-pack. :blink:Even if I was that stupid, I’d still have a couple of cans in hand on you
I wasn’t going to respond again but I’ve just read back through your post, I whizzed through it this morning, and it needed ripping apart.
Final take for me on the subject.[/quote]

What a journey!From what I’ve seen Perkins is running midfield, I think we are OK in that department.
As for Crewe, they always have plenty of possession, no matter who they play. Keeping the ball and playing it on the ground is their ethos and has been since Dario Gradi joined the club. I bet the average age of that team is low 20’s and I also bet that a good number of them have come through the ranks at Crewe.
I don’t think we should take any negatives from that win yesterday, it was a battle of entertaining football and we scored, they didn’t. I’ll settle for wins like that and wins when we are clearly second best. You can’t go through this league battering the opposition, like we did against Scunthorpe, Caldwell realises that and so should we.

What a journey!Ok. So explain how DS saying he wants to win the league with 100 points is him saying that we will.IIRC the only thing he has guaranteed is a 20 goal striker.
Your flogging a dead horse Egg, I’m sure its DFS. :dry:

What a journey!When they went 2-0 down I backed um to win at 6/1. When they got it back to 2-2 just after half time, I thought it was money in the bank. :(

What a journey!Why bother supporting latics if you dislike them so much Tez?
The management team are crap cos they let Tavs and Wags go, the chairman is crap because he made a positive statement of what he expects from the team this season.
You are the Victor Meldrew of Cockney Latic!

What a journey!I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, both Rangers and Hibs would beat us and most of the others in League One, they are above average sides for the division they are currently plying their trade in! As for clubs not wanting Tavs, I have been wondering of late why MK Dons didn’t want to buy their leading goalscorer ( Grigg ) from last season? Funny old game ain’t it!You can say it a million times and I still wouldn’t be convinced. There is nothing to base your argument on whatsoever.
At least I’ve pointed out that the top team in the Scottish Championship contains a 35 year old has been up front and two players who have come from a team that got relegated to league one last season, yet both couldn’t break into the side on a regular basis.Ask yourself this, would Tavs and Waggs displace James and Grigg? My answer would be categorically noooo!!
Take a look at the rest of the teams in that league, Queen of the South, Morton, Alloa etc etc. I would probably pick most of the league 2 teams to beat them.
Queen of the South who are currently level on points with Rangers and above Hibs had a crowd of just over 1,000 for their cup game with Morton and 1,700 on for their league game with Alloa the other week. I’m actually moving more to it being more conference standard as I type. How the hell can they afford to buy players unless its for a 5 figure sum or less, yet rangers couldn’t get out of that league last season.
Do a bit of research fil and stop listening to people who think they know more about players than the qualified staff who work with them day in and day out. :ohmy:
