I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that back in the day, there was a section in The Oatcake called "Like My Arse!", which celebrated* things like crap footballers, or crap referees, just maybe crap stuff in general.
I haven't heard anyone say it in ages, but for context, you'd have said something like "Kevin Wimmer was like my arse, today!".
Or did I dream it all? ☺

You didn’t dream it. It was an opinion piece about a recent topic of football news, or recent incident. So if the oatcake was still going maybe they would’ve put project big picture in there. I suspect super league would’ve demanded a larger amount of commentary as like my arse was more a snippet IIRC.

There was a thing called 'With Chayze' and for years I had no bloody idea what it meant. I thought was someone's name .For the record I don't care for oatcakes much which might explain it.

I used to love:
The Burslem Boys.
Gerald Pratt.
The club badge feature was great too, ( written by our kid).

Clearly never had a properly prepared one? yep clearly. that must be it Although I don't hate them what is there to actually love about them? They serve no purpose on all day breakfasts apart from being a sloppy mess and are at best a passable alternative to bread for a breakfast sandwich. Even if I lived on the moon I wouldn't put 2 dozen in the space stations freezer. The only pleasure I actually take from oatcakes are when our latest signings get asked if they have had one or like them, it's one of the few questions that they have to struggle to waffle through and the thought of a media person having to brief them on it is funny. Sorry for this rant and exposing the obvious chip/oatcake on my shoulder |

Saw the thread title and was dreading opening it to a picture.
Some strange poll by the Sentinel?
But then I thought "No, this guy never posts stuff like that!"
Relief all around.

The Oatcake was a superb fanzine from front to back but I couldn’t wait to see what cartoon would be in the middle. The above two being my favourites. I really do miss the fortnightly(ish) read. |

MICROWAVE??? You'd have to be in a hell of a rush before you did that...sacrilege!!! Absolutely Was bemused to the description as sloppy could only think of shyte floppy ones out of the microwave with too much cheese I'm assuming the poster is describing an oatcake that gets saturated in tomato or bean juice on a breakfast plate, which can be less than ideal. A cheeky microwaved cheese oatcake is a different matter. Floppy but not sloppy, piping hot with the cheese grease dripping out of it, nowt wrong with three or four of them on your way to work in the morning. |
