Re: So when will the bubble burst?

I would suspect that, the majority of Championship clubs are well in debt because of their pursuance of the promise land. I always said should one club go under many would follow. Sky seem to be one of the reasons why clubs survive, should Sky ever become troubled financially we could say majority ...

Re: Blades to boycott over ridiculous ticket prices!

As a general rule, fans have to vote with their feet. I've refused to go to many a match on the principle of it not being value for money even though I could afford it. It's all situational and dependent on what you think value is. So I'm fully with the Sheffield United fans. All this exploiting fan...

Re: Cardiff Awwww..... feck it!

I like heskey, he seems a decent guy and tries his best. But why the fck is he starting games when he presumably isn't going to be here next season? And all that with arguably a younger better option on the bench.....Woolery.

Re: Shut the Gate, our horse has bolted - Bristol C (A) 19/0

Worst performance I have ever seen. We just fell apart. Apart from Woolery they deserve no credit whatsoever. The team selection was all wrong. This 4-4-2 is an abomination. All for trying kids and that, but walker(who was poor but at least tried) gets a start from the cold? And no clough when that ...

In other seasons we would have said it was one of those games where we dominated, nearly lost and would have been pleased with a last minute equaliser. This campaign we aren't as objective. Their first was an absolute worldy. He shouldn't even shoot from there, it's a 1 in 50 shot. Our keeper slippe...

Re: Lennon out!

I think the fans have given him way too much slack. Even today they were singing for him to wave(which he duly did). Even with all the financial trouble this prick is the reason we're going down, no question about it.

Re: The Great Elland Road Swindle -Leeds away 5/3/16

The constant changes in team selection and lineup is doing my nut in. Lennon might be tactically worse than Coyle. We played a 4-4-2 diamond today, but without the ball Clough didn't drop in. So in effect we had seven players defending with no protection on the flanks. For their second goal, Pratley...

If it's just a case of being told to 'feck off' then this has been blown out of the water. These things must happen all the time when things are going bad in a high testosterone environment. Tbf, I would probably do the same in Madine's shoes. I've had seats right behind Lennon in a few games this s...

Re: Get out of Jail Free..Birmingham away 23-02-2016

Tonight was utterly depressing, no shots on goal in the second half Iirc. Tactics basically involved getting it out wide hoping either one of Feeney or Mavies could beat their man(rarely attempting to even get a 2 on 1 with their full back) and get a ball into the box with no one in there. It's the ...

Re: ...our man's Holding their man's Tozser... QPR (H) 20/0

Switching to a 4-4-2 diamond with Feeney up front when the 4-5-1 has served us relatively well recently. Absolute lunacy. Nothing game really, we should have held on but were only in the lead due to a bit of magic. If the game ended 0-0 we could have no complaints. They weren't great but we weren't ...

Yaya Trotter! Lad changed the game, we weren't that much better than Rotherham mind. Utterly bemusing as to why he wasn't starting with the recent form he has shown. Spearing again looked decent, and some finish. Wollery has shown promise in the two games. Finally a guy with a bit of pace! Let's hop...

The first goal I felt was unlucky, it deflected from midfield and turned into a superb through ball for Mason. Not much that could have been done. And once you're one down after 3 minutes the game plan changes. But we responded well, had good possession and were in control of the game. I liked the b...

I believe a club run well the size of ours, with good scouting and making the most of our resources could compete in the premierleague. It requires a clear vision and a club philosophy. It's not just Bolton that are run badly, that are throwing good money after bad. When you're competing against th...
