Bolton Wanderers

To the Boleyn Ground tomorrow (don’t whatever you do call it Upton Park for reasons to be explained) for the next in our round of six pointers against T’Hammers. After the victory last weekend against Wolves you can pretty much expect the same team…

Afternoon all, and after yesterday’s little rant, a return to normality.Well, I say normality, but if you are a Bolton fan it will not have escaped your attention that our misfiring Swede became slightly less than misfiring when playing for his nation…

Afternoon all. Not much in the wonderful world of T’Wanderers today as most of the players, barring our English contingent natch, are away on international duty. However, to spare us writing long, dull, interminable passages about swallows and amazons…

100 posts yesterday. Granted it was a photo of some bloke, not me, sleeping at his laptop with little wordage but it was cause for Mrs X to bring out that special bottle she has been saving for a special occassion, which she then had to drink most of …

Nearly there everybody. Nearly there.

Four nil and an easy win. That’s how the game appeared but it was a dodgy wireless feed on the FA website. I’d heard Pav’s first goal while driving home, rang G and heard the second as I pulled onto the drive.
No Kevin Davies and with the score line comfortable on came Gudjohnsen to replace [...]

It was just like old times, those sepia-tinged, heady days of late-summer 2009, when rubbish teams would traipse up to the Lane and be promptly destroyed, with our heroes requiring nothing beyond second gear. From the outset the only worry last night was that we might fail to turn domination into goals, but merrily this [...]

Well, that was about as much fun as having the dog put down. In fact, it was probably how an animal feels at that time, strangely calm all of a sudden, without knowing that the end is nigh. There was something about last night’s game, a strange accept…

It’s a chipper and optimistic AANP that will go traipsing along the High Road tonight. While it is too early to bleat on about our name being on the Cup, having done the hard part of emerging unscathed from the Reebok stadium our name really ought to be in the Quarter-Final draw without too many [...]

To White Hart Lane tonight, the most inaccessible of all Premier League grounds in London. While The Arse, Chelski and T’Hammers all have a tube station nearby (The Arse even having one named after them), T’Spuds have a ground about eight miles away f…

So Harry was always going to start Pav in this replay against Bolton and rest Ledley King ready for the Everton game. Well he never said anything about Ledley but playing him at Wigan made that clear and one rushed clearance put paid to that. With Kaboul cup tied Bassong will partner Dawson with Corluka and Huddlestone prepared for potential centre [...]

Afternoon all, and we start with a bit of unrelated Bolton news but as it involves everyone’s special Bolton hater, we’ll make an exception. Apparently Stanley Victor said in T’Mirror yesterday that if Mr Vinegar of The Emirates gave him Theo Walcott …

OK everybody, calm down. There is no need to do anything, even on the back of a performance yesterday that was a first return to the bad old days of non committment and amateurish defending, players not seeming to know who to pass to and, when they di…

Dear loyal reader. I know that yesterday I said that I would be giving you an update today, but after a hard day at work I realise that I cannot fulfill my promise. I know that this will come as a huge disappointment to you and that I have let you dow…

Imagine for a moment the rules of football had been changed and the game had to be played to a result, not with extra time or penalties, but with the schoolyard mantra of next goal wins. Imagine again that if those rules had applied to last night’s gam…

Tonight, at last, we get down to the business end of the season. Forget all those high falutin’, multi millionaires of Citeh, The Scousers and The Arse, here is where we have to nail our colours to the mast and show the rest of the Premier League, and…

Not much going on the wild world of Bolton Wanderers today, which isn’t to say that we haven’t got any musings and in no way shape or form will we be padding up this edition with long, superfluous sentences that seem to meander away like a slow river,…

Monday morning rolled around and T’Wanderers get almost universal praise for their performance against the Spuds yesterday. However, quite a lot of print has been used to wonder why the ground was only half full yesterday, with some people using this …

Well that could have been a lot worse. Having taken a few deep breaths and poured myself a stiff drink prior to kick-off, proceedings began in precisely the depressing manner expected. I suspect there is not one soul in Christendom surprised by our early struggles in the face of perennial tormentor Kevin Davies, as well [...]
