N20 Blade
The clock strikes thirteen
Went to Barnet v Oldham last night in the away end. Great match and superb support, nearly 500 made the trip tuesday night when it was on tv.
I got talking to a few of the Oldham lot and realized the last time i saw them play was the 1-1 draw in 94, our penultimate match. I know all football fans enjoy the ''woe is us'' stance especially us but the Latics surely have to be up there.
As their fans sang:
Premier League we fucked it up
Championship we fucked it up
League One we fucked it up
League Two we fucked it up
National League we're fuckin it up
Considering we were both founder members of the PL, our respective fortunes could not have been more stark.
The highlight of the night was watching Kieron Freeman, although he is widely regarded as the worst defender at the club. He is overweight, slow and gave away the penalty but me and the kids gave him a great reception much to the disbelief of the Oldham fans. Once a blade always a blade especially that Wilder group.
Anyway, whilst we're not doing great at least we've had four years in the PL since 94 and some great promotions / cup runs. Oldham fans have had a miserable 29 years, with very few silver linings. Glad they won last night.
