Two bags of Linekar's finest may not mean crisps.

Probably not, but he said Lineker's.

You couldn't have summed up my annoying optimism any better Bish. Nice article.

I'm already looking forward to it even though I know we won't get anything from this fixture,

this was reinforced yesterday by turning to my GF and making the comment "don' forget we are going to watch Bolton beat Man U on Sunday" she looked up from her book and replied with a sarcastic "mmmm Yes of course we are" and she doesn't even follow football, she just knows what I am like :mrgreen:

I too suffer from the annual optimism of a home win. This year is no different - 3-2 whites, Elmo first goal and a late winner from CYL.

Off to the local turf accountants to put the mortgage on it though I suspect we will need some help from the Bish's boss.

Really enjoyed the article, thebish, the way the dooooommm struggles against the desire...

But, just want to say, it's not THAT long since 24 November 2007 and Megson's greatest day... :D

Jeesus you sound like a Burnley fan.

Unless he said "I'll play my strongest team every game without fail" he's only done what you'd expect him to do.

Use his squad in the early CC rounds to make sure people get games, to use his whole squad and to try and protect key players from injuries.

We had a good go at winning the game. Just came up a bit short, its hardly a hanging offence.
But it would have been under you know who's management. :wink:

Now about that predicted very low crowd :oops: against our main local rivals, I see the excuses are already being made! :crazy: If we can't get a full house against United we will never ever fill the stadium again!
Depression is just a state of mind, supporting Bolton is also a state of mind hence supporting Bolton must be depressing QED

depends how you define "main local rivals" - I'm not so sure that every definition would yield ManU as our main local rivals...

I'd put Blackburn and Burnley above them in a local rivalship league...

a very good point - has been a bit of a pisser this season so far..

it seems Clattenburg has been stood down and Foy takes his place (on a bike??)

THE Premier League have removed controversial ref Mark Clattenburg from tomorrow’s derby clash with Manchester United.

The Tyne and Wear whistle blower had been appointed on Monday to act as fourth official at the Reebok but was pulled at the last minute following his half-time confrontation with Owen Coyle during Tuesday night’s Carling Cup defeat at Burnley.

The Wanderers boss had complained that Clattenburg missed a handball by Chris Iwelumo in the build-up to the Clarets’ winning goal, an incident he later described as “something out of a volleyball game.”

He exchanged words with the official as the players left the field, and then again after the final whistle in the presence of the match assessor.

And it would appear that the row has prompted the Premier League to take action, bringing Chris Foy in as a late replacement.

Clattenburg was also at the centre of a Reebok flashpoint last season, when the Premier League handed skipper Kevin Davies a £7,500 suspended fine, and a suspended charge of improper conduct after he alleged the referee had “something personal” against him following his decision to disallow his late goal against Fulham.

Despite falling foul of Wanderers again on Tuesday, Coyle told The Bolton News earlier this week that he would not be lodging an official complaint to referee’s boss Keith Hackett.

News of the late change won’t worry Sir Alex Ferguson, either, who was memorably sent to the stands by Clattenburg as Wanderers ended a near 30-year wait for a home victory over United in 2007.
