Re: Reading
It the morning of the first home game, tension is beginning to build hope (is what kills ya!) is still alive. Hoping for victory but the pessimist inside me requires dousing :drink: Come on Bolton we can do it!! Should be a good game I think it will be close, now all the excitement of Spearing sign...

Re: Kick off with a glass or two of claret!
Actually, with a combination of injuries and un-fit, only recently signed players not to mention last year's Player of the Season and the best defender we've seen for 2 or 3 years no longer here, loaning out an inconsistent but 'at least he offer something different' striker, a poor pre-season as w...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
So what are people hoping /expecting us to sign now? We arent short of midfield players just a lack of fit ones and we arent short of central defenders or strikers, it's just Mills and Ream arent very good but are on nice contracts and the strikers arent especially prolific. DF is in a pretty tight ...

Re: Kick off with a glass or two of claret!
Ah the glorious optimism of the new season. Looks like we will be defending deep with the lack of pace at the back but looks pretty solid to me and of course in theory it creates space for eagles and Hall to use.Medo and Andrews should be quite a solid buffer especially with Pratley hurtling about c...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
The squad looks pretty strong to me. If he can shift out a centre half an bring in a faster more mobile one it woud give us more felxibility. If he can't we'll be defending deep which Freedman likes anyway. Likewise uptop I cant see another striker coming in without one or two going. CYLs position l...

Re: The "Nothing to see here"Transfer thread
Always felt Ream may potentially be a better left back than centre half even if this is essentially trying to make a silk ear of a sow's purse. It seems we are hitting a slow period signings wise. Freedman has players on the books who he would need to shift before bringing others in but may be unabl...

Re: Dougie
Not my impression but I'll take your word for it! Always felt to me like he was just desperate to try and create an arguement and only interested in being negative. Hard to understand for me as a lifelong fan. Used to hoping for the best and trying to believe in whoever comes in and we've had some d...

Re: Dougie
Next manager betting markets, are not huge for bookmakers and relatively small amounts of money ( A couple of hundred pounds will dramatically alter odds ). Given events of past 24 hours Gus Poyet has shortened massively today, suspect no announcement will be made at Everton till early June. i thin...

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
Oh my giddy aunt. Welcome BS3. Some, or at least one of us recognises and welcomes the parody. I'm stunned by the response of one or two others on here. Stunned.

Re: Biggest game of the season - Brighton @ Home
The excited (and, conversely, the bored) may be pleased to know the BBC's Predictor thing still exists. See if you can rig the results to get not just Bolton relegated but Mighty Mick's Ipswich into the play-offs. I GOT US PROMOTED AS CHAMPIONS and Blackburn relegated :D I got a bit bored and had a...

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
Nice that he seems to be doing quite well and we might get near the playoffs if we can put in a late run.Seems to have made some useful signings and as has been said a few times listens to others and works on basic stuff. Ok maybe he's been a bit negative at times but coyle was always too far the ot...

Oh! Well, okay - enjoy your retirement from TW. Hey wasnt meaning to sound snotty. Just found myself spending too much time on here that's all!

Re: Worthy's better class of transfer thread
We'd miss him half the time because half the time he disappears. He may fit in ok at swansea given the ethos there though. Like folk said earlier we need a striker more than we need mavis and if it means eagles can play in the hole even better.The squad does need sorting out but unless money is put ...

Re: Dougie Freedman - New Manager
Why ignore him just because he has a different opinion? I have not read anything offensive from him, barmy maybe but no different that some regarding other matters. Not because of a different opinion. Plenty of people drive me mad on here for one reason or another and I'm sure I drive plenty mad to...

Re: Tractor Boys - the Barry Knight Testimonial Match
I can't believe that there are still some on here who can't, or won't, make the connection between the inconsistency in team selection and inconsistent performances. There isn't one other team in the Championship who make wholesale changes like we do, week in, week out. Blaming the previous manager...

He's right though. Dougie is being cut some slack for being as shit at getting enough wins as Coyle... But it's okay for him because he talks a cracking game. Magic wands and all kinds if stuff.
