Doing an article
I'm doing an article for the "Who The F*** Are..." section on Newcastle-Online before our clubs' upcoming fixture. And I would be happy if you guys would answer some quick questions for me to include at the bottom of the article as "The Bolton Fans' view on:"
And oh, just to make it clear. "Who The F*** Are..." is not meant as an insult to any club put in the section, it's just the name of the category.
Anyways:
UPDATE: Article is done, and as a side-effect of that I do not need more opinions. Though, feel free to answer the questions anyways, as just another topic of discussion.

What do you think of the upcoming match? - I think that it too early in the season to make any predictions, but i'd be happy with a point
What do you think of Bolton’s chances in the 08/09 season? Better than what the so called experts think
What do you think of Newcastle’s chances in the 08/09 season? If you play like you did against the Rags , also alot better than what the experts think

Life is not like a box of chocolates , it is infact , like a box of chuck norris roundhouse kicking you in the face. And if you recieve a box of chuck norris , you always know what your gonna get.

What do you think of the upcoming match? Hopefully we'll get another draw at your place. 0-0, 1-1
What do you think of Bolton’s chances in the 08/09 season? Better than last. Mid table with (hopefully) a decent cup run.
What do you think of Newcastle’s chances in the 08/09 season? Europe through a cup competition. You'll be mid table too.

What do you think of the upcoming match?
It’s hard to say from what I saw this weekend. We played Stoke, who were decidedly bad. I thought we looked ok going forward, but at times we looked shaky at the back. Not too certain how we’ll cope with pace attacking us! That said, you got a tad luck play ManUre without the top players and looking decidedly off colour. I also though first half you looked a bit shaky at the back, especially Coloccini, although second half was a vast improvement – and it’s being a little harsh given he’s only just touched down. A good point but I wouldn’t say it’s something to judge how it’ll go on.
If I was a beating man I reckon you’ll shade – 2-1

Between 10th-17th. As per every season there will only be single figures between these places, so it’ll be close. The media are as per usual writing us off again, so that’s all we need in the motivation stakes, and from what I saw against an admittedly bad Stoke team we’ll be ok. A lot will depend on if we can score more than last year. Or defensive record wasn’t as bad as many of the teams down with us last season – we conceded less than you with 54 – our main problem was goals. Only Wigan and Derby scored less than us, and it was our Achilles heel both with and without Anelka.
I’ll stick my neck out and say..... 14th
What do you think of Newcastle’s chances in the 08/09 season?
Well, you’ll start full of confidence, and I’m sure after Sunday the talk of the Toon is Europe, but as ever it’ll be a false dawn. You may get into the top 8, but to be honest I’d say much the same as us. As per usual you’ll be inconsistent, and granted Guittirez and Coloccini had promising debuts, but will they cut the mustard when you visit the Smoggies on a cold night in February? Owen will be croaked half the season, and Viduka isn’t getting any younger. KK may have another hissy fit and quit.
Infact I’d be surprised if KK is still your manager come May. What ever the set-up is up there with Wise and the other chap buying players with no input for Keegan, its just mad!
Neck out again, and you’ll be in about 10th, Keegan will get fed up when Wise brings in Tore Andre Flo and Jodi Morris, because they’ll add a Chelsea spirit, and resign. Ashley will wonder what to do and it’ll turn out to be Wise’s master plan to get a Premier league job and take over the reigns, and you’ll drop to about 16th

What do you think of the upcoming match?
Queitly confident that we can come away from St James with at least a point. Morale is high in the Bolton camp at the minute, nerves will have calmed after the important factor of getting three points on the board in our first game. More so for the likes of Elmander and Muamba, our two new signings, both of which came through the first game as our best two players. Elmander as for most strikers will feel much more confident having scored on his debut. Though I'm sure Newcastle’s confidence will be just as high after coming away from Old Trafford with a point.
We now look a team that is settled at the back and potent up front. Newcastle seems to have a few niggly injuries surrounding your strikers. If Owen, Martins or Viduka is out, it could make a huge difference.
1-1
What do you think of Bolton’s chances in the 08/09 season?
Quietly optimistic, though I think a lot depends on our back four staying injury free, especially our centre pairing. If Elmander can contunue the form he's started with, we'll be treated to a quality creative striker that can give us a 10/15 goal return this season. Yet it's Muamba that Newcastle will need to avoid on Saturday. The lad looks a real quality signing, with a natural ability to break any momentum the opposing midfield gains. We look a very balanced side at the minute and a long way from the abortion you faced at the start of last season. I see no reason why Bolton will not end this season nicely poised in mid-table.

My honest answer? Christ only knows! You have so much talent in your team, with so many attack minded players, yet like Spurs, Newcastle never seam to take much care of there defence. Let's face it; you've had some humdingers playing in defence for you in the past. Keegan is a good man manager, great at motivation, yet quite poor as a tactician. Your season will depend on the fitness and form of your strikers Owen, Martins and Viduka (won’t mention Smith as he's bobbins!). If you had a good defence, you'd have quite some team, more then able to reach Europe. As it is, Newcastle have always spent huge amounts on players followed by appointing poor managers, or not giving a manger enough time to hang up his coat before immediate success is demanded. Can Keegan take Newcastle to a place in the league that would justify the money spent on his squad? I very much doubt it, 9th would be a decent season for your lot this year.

What do you think of the upcoming match?
Its really hard to call this early in the season, but I'll be expecting an opening 20 minutes onslaught from the Mags after their performance at OT, and with an expectant home crowd at SJP. The rest of the game, and the crowd noise, will depend largely on what transpires from this opening salvo. If we manage to contain you, I can see a point in it for us,or even a late-nicked win. But my head says probably the 3 points will be yours courtesy of a 2-0.
What do you think of Bolton’s chances in the 08/09 season?
Its really hard to say. I think we are one player short of a nailed-on mid-table side; the talk is of Bullard, and I think he'd fit in well and improve us. I said 16th at the start of the season, and tbh survival without going through the wringer would suite me this year.
What do you think of Newcastle’s chances in the 08/09 season?
For Newcastle read Spurs. Plenty of attacking intent, and some high profile players, but a seeming inability to make the whole reach the sum of the parts, and usually a far from convincing record away from SJP. I think you'll flirt equally with the mid-bottom and mid-top, then settle somewhere between 8th and 10th. All achieved whilst receiving lottery payouts because of Owen's injuries!

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

A week ago I'm sure everyone would have had it as a home banker for you guys. I'm not so sure now, I think we can make life difficult for your forwards and give your new-look defence something to consider

Of what? Uefa, very tough. Title, slim to non-existence. Relegation, prob not. Midtable mediocrity, almost certainly
