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.

We have a problem is the Captain orders Simpson to take a penalty....

*sigh* For once I got to watch the game. It looked like fielding a ball was foreign to him. Really. It looked like he had NO idea how to catch a ball. I watched the game but could not hear the commentary. What was his injury and does anyone know how he is?

Actually, I was talking about any football games that I could get to. My goal was to see Everton, Hull City, Old Trafford and The Emirates. It would be my first time to England so I'd like to see a little bit of London. Sounds like one heck of a nice trip. Too bad about getting sick. Thanks...

True. Like I said in one of my first posts. I had planned on going to England in February for a 3 game - 4 or 5 night stay and do nothing but see football but had to cancel. The guy I planned this with was selected as a best man for his friend's wedding and had to drop a bunch of cash for that...

Thanks, Jammos. Great point about supporters from overseas. I would just like them to come to the States (Or North America). I'd fly anywhere in the US to go see them. I think it'd be great exposure if promoted. I mean, what could it hurt? I'm actually from Bergen County by the way.
