Re: Rumour has it.............

I think the one that "shocked" me the most was when was signed Djorkaeff (apart from Taddy Nowak). I couldn't believe we'd pulled that one off. Djorkaeff is my personal favourite out of all the 'galacticos' we signed. What he said. With bells on. Then throw into the mix the heady days of Okocha and...

Re: Site For Sale

Four pages to rancour and argument so about right. Keveh has done a super job, coupled with his team, and deserves all our thanks as has been shown by some. The cost individually is neither here nor there; it's either a couple of pints a year which is the healthy option or being denied the stressfu...

Re: Hello.....my name is Bench.....and I'm a Bolton fan.....

Welcome back. Just don't mention the weather. Okay, I won't. Far be it from me to tell you about the soaring temperatures of 34 degrees today and the basking hot sun. Or the fact that I jumped in the pool when I got home at 7pm. Nor that the pool was like a cool refreshing bath. I shan't say nary a...

Re: Time For The Kids?

We need to try something. We've gone from a position of being unbeaten in 10 or however many games, to having lost more games than we've won in in the last ten. I'm lost as to what the answer might be, but there appear to be no magic bullet salesmen doin the rounds at the moment. Tis easy. Drop Kni...

Re: Wanderers v Liverpool

This debate about was it or wasn't it offside is becoming a tad boring. It is also academic. Having said that, what really sticks in my craw is that Torres should have been sent off on at least three occasions - once for violent conduct and twice for dissent. Three game changing decisions (or lack o...

Can't it just be made optional? Default = on (so new members to forum don't miss the home page) but an option for people like myself to turn it off? But difficult to do that FD (I think) as it would affect the scripting of the site (more from Keveh on this later!). As for a sub-forum.....nice idea ...

Anyways, a few people have asked for this change previously and it's something we (the Mods) have always talked about since the start. The problem we have is that many of our members (and lurkers for that ...

Currently reading the biography of that Johnson Beharry chappy.

Clearly, it's time for some kind of 'official statement' from the mods and admin of the site, regarding the recent ban of Batman. As you are all aware, Batman has been banned. It was a difficult decision to make because many saw him as a popular character. Unfortunately more saw him as a bit of a pr...

Sometimes, and I tread carefully in case this bites me, if I look up the Wanderer and don't put the correct address in it gives me a number of options. Some of those options date back a while and I have sometimes seen a front page with the Big Sam article. Strangely, when you click on the forums bu...
