Tic, strider, European, family man. Had a brat summer, but now enjoying a nice brew.

Cardiff are better than us, but Wycombe and Bolton aren't. We've had one shot in three games and barely strung two passes together. You simply can't win in modern football without retaining possession and without controlling the pace of the game. This is Owen Coyle football. #wafc

Similar to under Jewell, Cook & Richerdson, this energetic aggressive style will completely steamroller lesser sides. But we've nowhere near the best team in the division this time round. I think this simple system will always come unstuck against better players & more sophisticated tactics. #wafc

Manchester Marathon 2025. Much like watching Latics this season. It started full of optimism, it was mostly a long miserable drag, but there was just enough positivity at the finish to want to do it all again next year! #wafc

It's not exciting or even interesting. But the long-term absence of both 1st choice fullbacks & both 1st choice centre mids, the disastrous loans & selling our best 2 outfield players are major mitigating factors. Being fairly solid is probably ok really, but it's joyless. #wafc

There still seems to be uncertainty about whether Thelo made the right move for his career. The way I see it is that on Tuesday morning he wasn't a millionaire, but on Wednesday he was. #wafc

A 350 mile round trip which incorporated more star players being sold than shots on target. You always have to take the rough with the smooth as a long haul Latic, but that was an especially joyless away day. 79/92. Good luck Thelo! #wafc

A traditional #burnsnight haggis for us last night celebrating #wafc legends like Lee McCulloch, Gary Teale and, er, Derek Stillie. I have a vague memory of a skillful little winger who took the occasional corner too. All washed down with a traditional Scottish cocktail of whisky & irn bru.
