to be fair to sheffield - my photo wasn't taken to show it at its best - just cos I wanted a photo of the supertram with the tram bridge behind it! as I wandered through sheffield, though, maybe I was in a rough part - I was quite taken aback by the sheer number of huge abandonned municipal and com...

Can't be worse than Stuart Attwell. Full-strength squad to choose from for the first time in a while. COYWM! no we don't... Sean Davis is out - Ricardo, AOB, JOB and Samuel - all struggling with injuries... (ok - not exactly decimated - but not a full-strength squad) my guess - we'll be unchanged e...

I can't make this one (see username) but is it odd that all four televised games are our home games?

yeah he must be saying "if the press ask you owt, make sure you add how much you love the club and the town" I can understand loving the club, but as if anybody not from here would actually love the town, its awful. I expect most players reside in Manchester or Chesire anyway. You can love the peop...

Can we ask them not to have a scrum in the penalty area?

If they insist on having scrums in the penalty area we could make them a new penalty area that was in the carpark.

It looks like that whole end is allocated for away fans. It looked like they sold most of their allocation but didn't ask for any more when the demand dried up.

Went to Grimsby away once. Playing football in the middle of the North Sea is pretty strange!

That said, unless crowds start picking up, and with our finances being what they are at the minute, alternative money generating schemes are likely to be on the increase rather than decrease (and before anyone starts on "people from Bolton not attending", there were a few thousand United fans short...

Even on the first couple of games of the season the grass was a bit patchy in places. Can see it becoming a cabbage patch!

I missed MOTD2 the first time round so just watched it on iplayer. The best highlights I can remember from a Bolton point of view for a while. Elmander did great getting into the position to shoot. I looked up what LK said about us being the joint-4th top scorers, looks right to me. If he can find t...

Zat Knight was MOM on ESPN.
Petrov was MOM in the guardian today.

It seems like they put their hand in a bucket and see which name is pulled out :D

I also think its somewhat important to look beyond results and at the ultimate picture. We are competing in virtually every game, even Arsenal away we were in the game till the sending off. We're playing much nicer football, and giving games a "real go" something everyone asked for under our previo...

This is the optimism still from over the summer with a touch of reality thrown in. Happiest I've been about football for years. And generally the PL is more open than usual, which is good news for everyone! Thought the ref had a good game. Just been flicking through the game thread on red cafe, pric...

Jeeez... If Elmander could finish he'd be a world beater. Should have had a hat-trick today. He did well but if he was a natural born goalscorer we'd be winning instead of drawing. Zat Knight was my man of the match, first half especially. It was funny seeing Muamba in the opposing penalty area, I ...

Without trying to get into conspiracy theories, anyone considered that a noon kickoff would maximize pie sales?

It is a silly time on a Sunday. Why is it 12.00 and not 12.45?
