Mark Lawrenson - the sage master of understatement

[TKIZ!]

He's done a bit about us in his blog for the Sunday Mirror today that has all the depth of a rain puddle. It's good to kow that his insights get him paid handsomely.

For those who are interested he wrote:

Owen Coyle has not only got Bolton competing at the top of the league, he has also reinvented their footballing style.

Bolton are an attractive team to watch these days. A front two of Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander are a handful, but Coyle has also got his other players to express themselves. There is a subtlety about their play this season that wins admirers.

Couple that with an attitude to work their socks off and they can hover around the lofty heights.

I'm a master of cutting and pasting...

Its great to read stuff like this for a change.

Got a pain in my B****x with people moaning about our long ball strategy adopted by SA.

Having watched some of the Spurs game, that's long ball.

Well ... you know what you're getting with Liverpool & Spurs.

But will Bolton get the credit for teaching the Premiership the benefits of its occasional usage?

[Gaz Tomorrow]

I think the concept of us being a reinvented team is beyond most people. One of my mates (tragically a united fan) was telling me how are 13 goals in 4 games is a result of our route one strategy

There were more long balls in that game, from both sides, than we have played all season.

But how the Pool lost I don't know Torres was clean through three times and each time failed to get a shot on target, in fact he didn't get a shot away at all.

Have you been reading my mind!

[TKIZ!]

I think so Raven, I watched it because there was nothing else on and hoped that the Scousebots could have done us a favour. Apparently not, but if they want to swap Elmo for Torres I wouldn't complain

No that's long passing. It's exquisite - and sometimes delicious.

Do keep up!

[Raven]

Of course its long passing, just like Arsenal, silly me!
