robbie earns his coin

Robbie Blake earned us apoint on saturday and justified his signing exactly what he was bought for ,not the latest whizz kid megabucks greedy twa### but a talented grafter of limited but well appreciated abilites good signing by Owen and a good substitution although not appreciated by some .
I might add expect more of the same ,at tight end of match situations gooden

I have to admit that after watching him come on for ten mins at West Ham and watching him for a whole game at Southampton, I was less than totally sold on the dwarfish chubster....

so - when he came on on Sunday I did not leap from my seat and announce his coming to the world...

but - he certainly stepped up to the plate - and as long as that is not merely the equivalent of his ManU moment for Burnley - then that's all you can ask of him...

Mind, if that's all he does here - he'll still have done more than a number of our previous striker punt / purchases

I appreciate his talents, he's a very gifted footballer but he's 34. I thought the days of signing 1 season wonders and giving a player one final pay check where long gone when Big Sam left.

I think with a small team like Bolton we have be use whatever methods are necessary. Who knows maybe Eaves or Ward come good over the next season or two and then the move is great. Even Man U bring in an older player for short term when deemed necessary so why the hell shouldn't we. Seems a pretty cheap deal as far as I am concerned so don't understand the critism. Certainly better than moaning all the time about not having enough players.

I think I stated when deemed necessary. They are a big club who tradionally have had huge reserves to spend, so shouldn't have to resort to short term fixes very often. Right now though they are struggling as they are having to rely quite heavily on the aging veterans such as Scholes and Giggs. We are not that club not now and will not be in the future so do not have that luxory. I want a manager who builds for the future, but at the same time he had better not ignore the present. I am sure Coyle would have preferred to have 6-8m to spend on another striker but he didn't so instead of moaning he signed what he concidered a short term solution at an affordable price.To ignore the present is a good way to get the axe, and for Bolton to get relegated. None of us want that.

Sorry have to agree to disagree. I wasn't part of the anti megson crusade, gave him credit for keeping us up, and quite liked the majority of our purchases. He did have the luxory of getting to spend more money than anyone else in our history by a long shot, and yet moaned like he never had enough to spend. In the end though he was a PR nightmare with the fans, press, and it seems didn't have much more success with the players either. He was given a fair chance by the club, but in the end deservedly was let go. Time to move on. Coyle still isn't proven but it is a lot less depressing being a Bolton fan right now, and the upside looks much better than it has had for a few seasons.

Plus, had Blake been a Megson signing, you'd have been on here straight after the game wanking about how Megson is still pulling Coyle out of the shit with his great signings.

You're boring as f*ck Nut.. Honestly, it's pathetic and this is the last time I reply to one of your posts. You're not worth my time or effort

It's definitely worth chequeing out.

'Sokay, bish, the Oxford English Dictionary allows both spellings now, even in England (though it does note that ck is used extensively bu my great neighbour to the south).

I've come to notice, Monty, that if enough people misspell something often enough then the OED, for some reason, decides to include it. I'm not sure it's in a position to 'allow' anything though.
