Re: A visit from the Pride without Prejudice....
Burton stayed up last year, and won on Friday night with goals from Marvin Sordell and a 68-year-old Lloyd Dyer. Yes it is difficult and yes there is a sizeable gulf in class, but we have to be better than we were today. That starting 11 playing that formation won't win a game all season. Does anyo...

Re: The Promotion Commotion Transfer Thread 2017
I know it's an accepted fact that Bolton Wanderers have never and will never win a game without him, but this absolute faith in Gary Madine is completely out of hand. Start the season with Madine > fans slowly remember he's actually a bit shit > fans turn on Madine > manager replaces him with [inser...

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )
Well said Ken.... I'm sick & tired of the ST and Iles constantly having a go / dig at Ken - they should get behind him & the club and be positive instead of always trying to find any excuse to have a go at him. He's doing everything he can to move the club forward and it appears that he's got the b...

Re: The Promotion Commotion Transfer Thread 2017
Don't agree. Rare you get wingers who aren't inconsistent with their end product. What Ameobi is is consistent in his work out of possession. Long way from being a "luxury". Question whether he's good enough a league up, and value for money on what could be relatively high wages. I'd certainly be m...

Re: The Promotion Commotion Transfer Thread 2017
I don't think we'll be signing either. No doubt we've been linked with Maddison because he's a seemingly available player tipped for bigger things, and we've just been promoted. That said, he's probably on 10-20% of what Ameobi is on, and was more productive in a shitter side. Does Sammy have 17 as...

Re: The Club...
There was a greater disparity in finance between us and the club's surrounding us when Coyle had us 8th and in a cup semi-final. And obviously there's no comparison between those two and the financial chasm Allardyce bridged across multiple years. Basket case or not, we have what I imagine is still ...

Get a grip folks and just enjoy yesterday....it was a great day to be a BWFC fan, and we've not had many over recent years have we.

Re: "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves" Bolton vs Posh 30th April
The fans have stuck with the team this season in a way I don't think anyone could have really expected. They've embraced what Parky has been trying to do and travelled in thousands up and down the country. There was a better atmosphere in the Macron to see us beat Peterborough United yesterday (and ...

Re: Vale of tears or happy valley? Port Vale (A) Sat 22 Apr 3pm
The reality is we were no better or worse today than we were at Scunthorpe, but we kept a clean sheet and a got a set-piece to land on the head of one of our centre halves. That has been the story of our season, and why we are where we are, not Gary Madine. Madine played through the pain and scored,...

Re: Time to Bury one and get us out of this league? Home - Tuesday 18th 8.00pm
Mate, it's gone. Give it up. We've hit another bad streak at exactly the wrong time. Momentum has slipped away, and heads have gone on the pitch and in the dressing room. Skybet will give you 9/2 on Fleetwood to finish 2nd and 18/1 if you fancy Scunthorpe. Fill your boots. Easiest money you'll ever...

Re: The countdown- Where will we finish?
We win tomorrow and we're (all but) promoted. If we don't garner another point for the season we are in the play offs with a possible Wembley trip in the offing. If we don't make the playoff final we will still have had the best season in years and will continue to improve into next season. I reall...

Re: Latic Acid Test. Oldham Athletic - Away. Sat 15th Apr 17 @ 12.30
Also, watching Man Utd vs Chelsea. The team top of English football, struggle when a key player is missing. Just like we do. Not sure that makes Conte a poor manager or a one trick pony. It is just hard to cope without certain players sometimes. Maybe they lost a one off game of football against on...

Re: Latic Acid Test. Oldham Athletic - Away. Sat 15th Apr 17 @ 12.30
Pinning it all on Ameobi is a load of shite. Infact pinning it on any one player is for the most part. We, along with every other team not called Sheff Utd, are just not good enough to consistently perform and win games. Early in the season we twatted Gillingham on Sky with Sammy and Clough looking ...

Re: Vela's Behaviour
I get that a drinking culture at a football club is the kind of thing that gets lionised in books and after dinner speeches if you're successful, and held up as the decline of western civilisation if you're not. However, being an agressive prick is a bad look regardless of results. And for the secon...
