Re: Capital 1 cup 2nd round

That SVT game was when the fog came down like we were adrift in the Arctic ice flow. After the half-way line all you could hear was 'Pass it to me' and 'Who said that?' have we scored? I think we've scored...Are they kicking off agin or is that a free kick? I'll check the paper in the morning and se...

Re: Freedman out!

I agree with Puskas 100pc. Football talk it utter tripe at the best of times. 'The lad dun good', 'I didn't see it' and 'We wuz robbed' are about as good as it gets. Cramming a mic infront Iain Dowie is never going to elicit any pearls of wisdom. But there is a space between defending your team and ...

Re: Freedman out!

I've just read his ramblings in the BN. If you didn't know it before then you know it now. The man's a clown. Remember the Colin/Roy era (shudders) we lost so many points in the last five minutes when we thought games were won/drawn that you've got to admire a side that keeps playing until the very ...

Re: Watford Away 09/08/2014 - Match Thread

I was wondering this morning how long it would take and sure enough in today's BN McNaughton is spouting that Saturday is a 'wake up call' for a 'nervy' Bolton. How many effing times do we have to have this article reprinted with only the names changed? In recent years is been Reo Coker or Matt Mill...

Re: Freedman out!

I think there's a new breed of football managers now. One's who know that unless something drastic happens and they start winning games they're only going to be in a job for 18months before getting the heave-ho. They then spend a year as a pundit on Sportscene before stumbling into another 18month c...

Re: Bolton - best or worse than when you first started going

The current squad is made up of almost entirely of players who are circling the drain. Who do we have that any other club would want? Perma-injured Mark Davies? If-it's-on-target-it's-in Bogger/Loners? Play-for -a-contract Spearing? The rest? Bloody hell. You wouldn't recognise 'em if you fell over ...

Re: Freedman out!

I think all football people go on media courses these days. With such a high demand for 'content' they need to be able to talk to tv, radio, internets, print and so on on a much more frequent basis than they ever did even say 10 years ago. I think the club bungled though and sent Dougie on a course ...

Re: Bolton - best or worse than when you first started going

I started watching in the John McGovern era so clearly on paper this side is better than that. And that of Phil Neal's. However, apart from Phil Neal's final season it was NEVER boring watching Bolton. We either had a shit side fighting relegation or a good side pushing for promotion. Even Owen Coyl...

Re: BWFC branded stuff

How did they pick the players to Dollify? I would never have guessed those if Philip Schofield had shoved me into the cube and said 'Your first Russian Doll is Eric Snookes who comes next?' I think I'd have to use my 'simplify' pretty quickly. Snookes - Rudge - Cunningham - Bobic - Jardell. I feel a...

Re: BWFC branded stuff

Those Dolls of the Former Soviet Union are pure quality.

They're the gift that keeps on giving aren't they?

I'd love to see one of the managers.

LSL insdie Me*son, inside Coyle, inside Doog.

You could then lob 'em straight on to the fire.

Re: BWFC branded stuff

My mate's mum baked us a cake for my 18th birthday.

It was in the shape of the club crest (rosette not ribbons).

But we ate it.

Re: BWFC branded stuff

A ball signed by Caldwell, Joyce, Oghani, Chandler, Farny (and the rest). You can barely make the signitures out now but if you wanted to buy it I'd go over them in felt tip. I've got an original kit from that period (Normid) which I can still fit into (yeah right). Eldest has a draw full of kits th...

Re: The Macron Stadium

I don't really bother during the close season, let's be honest it's getting harder to give a monkey's DURING the season so I only saw the Muriel yesterday.

I like it.

If I'd have done it I'd have called myself Embanksy.

I've seen it's got mosaics of Ream, SKD, Campo and Nolan on it who else?

Re: Phil Neal Hopes History Will Judge Him Kindly

At the time as an impestuous youth I was one of Phil Neal's most verbal critics. Looking back I can see the difficulties he faced with the club in a terminal tail spin but think he made things hard for himself the way he carried on. The players I've spoken to since said he couldn't leave Liverpool b...

Re: Freedman on Summer Recruitment (And past mistake)

I'm not saying he should have kept Eagles. If Freedman says 'Chris Eagles doesn't fit in with my plans for the club and I wish him well where ever he goes' then that's fine. But why try and be clever and maon about his lack of goals when we have plenty of other players doing exactly the same. Look, ...

Re: Freedman on Summer Recruitment (And past mistake)

I know Beckford's still under contract but to point the finger at Eagles and say 'you're going because you're not scoring enough' while backing a stump like Beckford to 'come good' is just typical of the man. Dougie says he knows 'what kind of player it takes to do well in the Championship' that's c...

Re: Freedman on Summer Recruitment (And past mistake)

I've just read his 'swipe' at the players he's booted. Blaming them for not scoring enough? Well he's obviously talking about Eagles because Zat's outshone himself this year up front. If that's his critera then Knight should be doubling his money right now. Feel a bit sorry for the two. Knight was t...
