2-1 to the Wanderers. This is the game where it all happens.

My choice would have been 'Blame it on the bogey'. 1 win there in about a hundred years (thank you Mark Patterson ). That record ain't getting better any time soon. 0-2 loss and we start adding bolts to the coffin.

Interesting fact... Not that I'm repetitive or owt but when I typed '2-1 to the' in that last post my phone suggested the word wanderers itself for the next word. Ha.

Anyway, failure is out of the question. We can do it.

Defeat. Our players know it's all over, Bristol are still fighting. Repeat until the end of the season.

I'd be getting rid of Lennon now, getting a new boss in, and letting him run the rule over the players we're likely to still have next season. But considering we can't even afford £100K for Spearing, I can't see it happening.

Directive to all Championship managers: Bolton Wanderers can be scored against in the last five minutes of any game. Fact. Statistics prove it.

Officially it's 3pm, but we're kicking off at 2pm in the hope that we might snatch a goal.

It'll never happen. Lennon will tell 'em to keep it tight for half an hour then spend the next hoofing the ball at Clough, whilst Heskey is wheezing by the corner flag. 4 nil to them and the wind off the Thames will ensure you all freeze your knackers off in the away end.

Just how strong are you expecting the wind from the Thames to be? In Bristol?? :wink:

It's been known to get up to 3 knots in the Garden.

Of course I have no idea what time kick off is, on a Saturday, for an unfashionable team, albeit with new owners, but relegated anyhow, despite their history.

:oops: All the Fulham away talk in t'other thread had me all confused (it's easily done I can assure you). Apart from the Thames bit it will all come to pass.

Just summat that was on Sky yesterday morning, Jonny. We can't look at bookies sites at work (to protect us from putting silly bets on ;) ) but I can have a look later.
