FA Cup 2012/2013 - Third Round.

[Relentless09]

To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about this game, a cup run won't be nice but I'm not particularly bothered. Would like to see Riley and Sordell start and Holden on the bench to play for the last 10 minutes ? Wishful thinking

[boltonboris]

Think I'll give this one a swerve

[officer_dibble]

Would rather poke pins in my eyes than shell out money on watching sunnerland grind this one out. I am ooout.

[Jez]

Considering the prem opposition, maybe we'll get a stream for this one?

[2399]

Hope so,

Can Confirm ESPN ain't showing it down here though

From the BN: "All change for Wanderers"

Marc Iles reports that Petrov, Ricketts, Lonergan, Sordell and Riley are "poised to come into the reckoning", while Afobe and Ngog are "tipped to feature from the start". Eaves is cuptied but we should be able to pick Spearing and Afobe if we so choose.

Some interesting quotes from Douglas, too:

It gives me a good opportunity to freshen up the squad and give some game time to those pushing for first team action. It’s a good distraction pitting us against a Premier League club where I think we should belong. It will give us a benchmark as to where we are falling short.

Cue jokes...

Well we already lose because our support is clearly not upto the standard and Sunderland are a massive club you see with their millions of fans that they squeeze into the stadium of light.

Hello lads,

Sunderland fan in peace, although I do get the impression you don't really like us, for whatever reason.
Quite enjoy my visits to Bolton (you're one of the few teams we generally do well against!)

However for this visit, I'm staying over down Bolton, don't suppose any of you could recommend any nice bars/pubs/restaurants for after the match?

Cheers and good luck, but not to much obviously

Try Manchester, Boltonistan is pretty awful.

Your best bet around Bolton is......

Manchester. Seriously. It's only 15 minutes train ride from the Reebok.

We don't mind you at all.. Just bored of all the "oooh we've got more fans, that somehow makes us better at everything"

It's something that clubs who under achieve hide behind.

[jaffka]

And the 'we can take anything we want from your tawdy little club anytime we want'

[boltonboris]

"Except for what we actually want"

[IggyTheDawgster]

The Griffin is a nice pub.

There are some nice places to eat actually. Where are you staying?

Oh right you know he's staying in the centre then? My bad.

I just assumed...

2nd time at posting this.

If I was the sort of person who used emoticons then I'd use a 'popping out eye' one here. What a delightful picture you paint of the town.

I remember years ago the BEN doing a big story on a restuarant in Horwich (can't remember its name) serving....would you believe....SNAILS!

Peter Kay's dad would have a thrombi if a plate of garlic snails was put infront of him.

These guys are hilarious: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=752775" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Their travelling army of around 400 should also be commended

Someone hasn't done their research this season.

What's wrong with The Olympus?
