When have they ever had regionalisation in the FA Cup proper? Must have been years and years. In fact, I just looked it up, and from the look of the first round draws, it looks like 1998.

We will be having a special badge (Fan vote results not yet revealed, but B will win) for our 125th anniversary next season. And as well as our normal blue kit, we will have red and white stripes with navy shorts and socks, as we wore that in our first seasons. Fans have voted on which will be...

He was linked last season... North African connection I suppose.

Our owner might! We also sent out one of our best players on loan to Chesterfield today.

Never even saw a game under him. First time that's happened. Replaced by Maamria.

In: Jonny Smith, winger on loan from Bristol City. Was at Tranmere last season. In: Filipe Morais, on loan from Crawley. Out: Chris O'Grady, free to Bolton.

It's just so sad. There should, of course, be more stringent rules on ownership, and greater financial parity between the Premier League and the rest. We might get one, we won't get the other. Practically, if Bolton go as well, I reckon it should be: Top 2 of National League automatically...

You know when someone is in a big accident and loses their ability to walk, and has to go through extensive physical therapy, and then being able to walk a couple of steps unaided before collapsing is seen as a huge wonderful achievement? That's what our 0-0 on Tuesday was roughly equivalent to...

Fwiw I agree with the sentiment, but it's the Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea tomorrow.

Sky show two from Round One, so would have been one tonight one tomorrow. But UEFA enforce having no domestic football on TV on Champs League/Europa/Super Cup nights.

We were 1-0 up at Blackburn, looking fairly comfortable and defending well, then they brought Dack on, who killed us. 1-1, but we scored again on the break, then conceded in 90+2, 90+6, oof. Could have done with that win for the confidence as much as anything else. Think we win that if Wheater...

Is Craig Davies injured again/still?

Wheater misses out with a knock. Massive blow. Two up front at home, thought the new coach might be a rigid 4-2-3-1 guy, glad to be wrong. Nepomuceno shouldn't be on the bench. If Crewe attack us, expect us to be a goal down in the first ten minutes. If they sit off us, they might make us look...

Gonna do Oldham's in a pragmatic way Red is a significant departure Green is a significant signing Free unless stated Daniel Iversen, GK (returned to Leicester from loan) - Underrated with us, will have a good career. Will be missed Gary Woods, GK (Hamilton Academical) - Has a L1 league...

Well... it's hard to say. Under the owner Lemsagam there's always something bubbling under the surface, but there is a period of relative stability at the moment. The coach Laurent Banide seems a steady hand, and the signings look decent enough. I can see us being very solid at the back this...

1500-odd at BP to see Oldham 3-2 Liverpool U21s Watched the second half off of Liverpool's website. Our second string mostly just sat back and let them play in front of us. Took advantage of a defensive error and 2 set pieces to overcome a talented set of youngsters who had the better of the...

Quite a few Latics fans saying Lang could simply be at the game to watch his ex teammates. Fair shout. I could be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5. We'll see ay.

We've pushed very hard for Lang I've heard. Asked Joe Royle, who's on the board at Wigan, for a favour and everything.

Well we got Wheater somehow, Lyden funnily enough went to Swindon after an offer from us, but Callum Lang is at the Trophy game tonight, which is brilliant news!

This is happening again. I think all the big teams are inserting kids' sides this season. Anything to note from your game against Chelsea U21, Swindon fans? We have Liverpool's youngsters tomorrow.
