We'll lose our bottle and go down to a loss at Stoke.

This will make the 5-0 loss look like a drop in the ocean in comparison.

Interesting...

IF ultimately we are to go down then I hope that we lose to West Brom and QPR win. That way it gives us an extra week to prepare for next season knowing our fate.

For me that is preferable to ultimately going down on the last day.

Obviously I hope we avoid that fate altogether!

Nah, 'cos there'd still be that tiny sliver of hope on goal difference.

I seem to recall it from 1996.

Best case scenario there would be (assuming we lost by 1 and QPR won by 1) a 10 GD gap.

Meaning that say City beat QPR 6-0 on the final day. We'd have to win 4-0 at Stoke.

I think even the most optimistic happy clapper Bolton fan would accept that weren't happening!

The Jimmy Glass moment taught me to never rule anything out in football

We have already beaten them by more than that this season though

Obviously I was wrong....

But QPR would not lose by 6 knowing they just had to protect GD.

And as it stands we're not capable of beating anyone to nil.....

QPR would not lose by 6 knowing they just had to protect GD.

They nearly managed it a fortnight ago, at their most hated rivals. And City are a better team, who would either be chasing glory or revelling in it.

You know full well that even the least happy-clappy of supporters would have that tiny, tiny sliver of maybe.

Has a team ever won by four goals, when they knew they had to going into the game? Five?

I'm genuinely interested. I know Arsenal came close against Milan, and I have a vague recollection that Deportivo did it once.

[Gail Platz]

If we don't win this, we deserve to go down. Even if we get a draw and QPR lose their next 2 games meaning we stay up, I don't care, we'll have still deserved to have gone down.

This should have win written all over it. A mid table side with nothing to play for with the manager obviously having his thoughts elsewhere.

Argentina in '78 against Peru. Nothing to do with shipments of grain and military juntas, oh no.

There have been a few others, some of which have also aroused suspicion, although it could just be that some teams are more motivated than others.

Lyon-Zagreb this season?

Don't know about League, but I can remember Argentina needing to win by six goals to qualify
(Mario Kempes era). They did.

As we walked down to Burnden for the Aldershot play off game I bumped into my old headmaster. 'Not seen you here for ages' I said. 'I've come to see the end young Coffey. I've come to see the end.' he replied.

Now I've had to turn down the opportunity of a lift AND hospitality this weekend due to family commitments but by Christ I know how he felt that day.

The writing's on the wall (and has been all season). From having two games and then one game in hand, from QPR not likely to win another game all season and Wigan rock bottom without a prayer we've some how managed to balls it up one more time.

Our 'wake up calls' and cri de coeurs have fallen on deaf ears and now we're clutching at straws.

Mr Greenhalgh was right. The end is nigh.

Again.

[DJBlu]

I think the question should be,

When has Bolton ever gone into a game needing 5 goals and got them?

I don't know if we need the 5 against stoke but we got them.

[norm the jedi]

Just got the buy tickets email I get every week .. Apparently the fanzone is open for the WBA game on Sunday 6th March ? Has even the PR dept given up?

Like Fulham

We must win today anything else is worthless to us WE MUST WIN!

partizan Belgrade against QPR - 4:0 (first match 2:6 to QPR).

Oh,irony,it's QPR

We might win today, but it's tomorrow's match that's the important one !!!!!

According to today's Bolton News, Reo-Coker likely to be out and Chungy will probably be in the squad:
