Strange thought...why are Oldham also called 'The Latics'? There's a feckin' great Owl on their club emblem.

I think it's to do with the local pronunciation of "Athletic".

For some reason I thought a Latic was an insect or a bird, just Googled it now and I was presented with images of strange looking people...bugger me, Oldham 'latic.

It's latin for "we're not very good"

Wigan athletic are also the Latics

Aye, but they don't have a strange, constipated-looking Owl on their badge. Hence my initial bafflement.

Intrigued as to why you've got a Japanese name, Mechaishida?

I've been a bit of a Japanese culture/history fan/student for about 20 years. The 'Mecha' part is referring to the standard Japanese concept of a 'Mech'/robot suit (from Gundam etc) and the Ishida part is a reference to the Sengoku Era samurai/politician Ishida Mitsunari.

Still haven't cracked open the Rosetta Stone Japanese CD yet though, the language is pant-fillingly hard.

EDIT: I'd ask why you're called Harry Krishner, but I suppose it's obvious.

What??? He excels at home.

Still we have loads of attacking players I guess

 

[shmmeee]

Can't drop Turner, Bigi or Arma. Would've been between him, Kent and Cole.

 

[hamil99]

Any idea on the attendance?

 

[matesx]

Id say 16k

 

[dongonzalos]

Time for a bit of Madness!!!
Get that ball moving quicker.
If turners injury is for three weeks that maybe a strange bit of luck. Every cloud has a silver lining
(Can't put this on the match thread as I don't go on them or show any passion for the team )

 

[Harry Krishner]

Good for you.

Mecha is also Japanese slang for "very" or "incredibly"- Ishida means stone-field and is a common surname - as you point out.

I choose Harry Krishner because I always enjoy seeing them coming towards me chanting and drumming, and also have a soft spot for eastern philiosophies- but mainly because I had to think of a user name really quickly.

Some will still say that it was pathetic and our supporters are shit.
