I don't like him calling McFadzean 'McFadjin' though.

Surely a pen ref?

First shot for us, tame effort from Max.

Who fouled who then?

Bit of a cliche, but this Scotsman is very dour. Bring back Clive.

You can also get it on 302 if you turn on Ceefax.

If you add up all the starting player shirt numbers then you get 168. Add up the digits, you get 15. Add up those digits, you get 6. So if my maths is right, and all things being equal, that means the first goal will be scored by player number 6 (Kelly), in the 15th minute, as we win 168-0.

The bench is arguably as stong as the first XI (apart from being 2 players short).

One of Wilson's best qualities is his kicking. He kicks it an absolute mile, and with pretty good accuracy, which can make a real difference in relieving pressure as we can shuffle right up the pitch instead of being deep as soon as we get hold of the ball.

To be fair, and I know this is sad, I went onto the Oldham forum, and a lot have the view that he's nigh on undroppable rather than just alright. We all know the L2 standard isn't great (remember when Concrete Rod was temporarily loved on here?) but he seems to be standing out for them.

So I've googled it, and it was based on passes (so if we made 600 passes and the opposition 400 passes, we'd have 60% possession) but now technology has taken hold it's based on time in control of the ball using a chess-like clock controlled by a statman or computer. So it turns out I was wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was us, given some of the dross we've had over the past few seasons. You're right on possession stats, by the way. It's based on volume of passes. Or at least it was in the recent past - given the increase in analytics it may have changed, but that was certainly...

There was a stat at the weekend (maybe on here, maybe on twatter) that all of the teams who won had less possession than the opposition. Hopefully that's not the case with Norwich tonight...

After a quick Google I found 3 defenders called Ollie. Ollie Turton from Blackpool (28) Ollie Tomlinson from Plymouth (18) Ollie Younger from Burnley (20) It's probably none of them.

In some ways, iFollow has been great for me. Family and work commitments always made getting to games a challenge, and while I went to as many as I could, there were times I could go weeks without getting to a game. iFollow means I only have to steal 2 hours out of the day, rather than 6 or 7...

This is the point of the season where we find out if having 6 months off last spring and summer helps us compared to those who had to play through. Hopefully that break works in our favour and other teams begin to tire, which will make our pressing all the more potent. But it's a relatively new...

Easy to forget he wasn't even a first team regular for periods last season, and now he's probably one of the top 3 or 4 most important players in our side. Quite a rise.

In no particular order: Who was his favourite midfield partner during his first spell here? I think he deserved more than the one cap for his country - does he think the same? Who was his favourite manager when he was with us, and why? Who was the most frustrating player he ever played with...

I'm rating players based on being very happy right now, so I might be a bit over the top. I'd go 10s all round, but Kelly was MoTM and deserves a 10 so the others will have to make do with a 9 instead.

Nothing will ever beat the goal that Geoff and Clive missed, except maybe the pulling ballyboys off line. That still makes me laugh to this day. A lot of other commentaries nowadays are done solo, and they're an awful lot duller as a result. At least with Clive and Oggy you get debate and...
