Let's revive this thread.....any predictions for the Latics this season?

The summer shopping list needs to start with a trip to sunny Florida for some training & friendlies. :emoticon-0105-wink:

Police work (but not an officer) Full time. I am a huge baseball fan. Last February, I retired from the Tampa Bay Rays Baseball Grounds Crew (part time) . I'm going to be 45 and I just didn't want (or need ) to work two jobs any more. It was a sports fan's dream job. But these last two...

I can't help thinking of what could have been should we have gotten the new boys when the window opened.

I'm just sorry that Sporting KC let Kamara go.

Yes -that. The trainer and president were great. They were up front with everyone - I think there were 20 at the time. There would essentially be no profit unless the horse won more than 200% of his/her worth. Basically the trainer trained for free (for us only). What winnings there were was...

Well, I'm not prepared but feel I should since I mention it so I'll try a little. Let me first say that I was pretty naive to start. Then I just got 'soft' in that three + years & didn't like to see the animal hurt. It's a business and they (horses) are just a tool to succeed in that...

From 2007-2010 I was part owner of 5 thoroughbreds. Two Smarty Jones' colts as well as a Northern Afleet filly among them. I got to meet some of the best trainers in America and was very exciting at the time. I truly loved the sport until I really got to know the sport. Very sad to hear...

BAH! That is all.

I was at this match. Bolton still looked the better side but it was nice to see my first English team!

I tweeted a couple of times that they should have come here to Florida. 74 (F) degrees here today. It would be nice if they came here in the pre season.

What sticks out to me is that our form dipped noticeably as soon as the transfer window opened. Almost like a sign that it is imperative to sign goal scorers NOW. We addressed the keeper (and mids) but why can a deal for a striker not get done??

...there were forwards?

Is the match still on?

Lame.
