Jakerbeef reflects on luck, and the lack of it, in our season from hell
This weekend Bolton will play their final game of the 2011/2012 season. It will be remembered only as a season that couldn't end quick enough. It started in disaster with Lee suffering a double leg break only a few weeks from kickoff. Coupled with the fact Holden’s return date was...

Team selection out of a hat, it's last shot at the lottery.
"Nowhere to run to, Nowhere to hide". A song lyric that might have been written for the Whites game on Sunday. It really is time to face harsh fact:
By four-o’clock tomorrow we’ll know if the pendulum will finally stop, or creak agonisingly along for another week. Two matches being played...

The crystal ball is very cloudy indeed.
With half-full/half-empty glasses scattered all over the tables, rose-tinted specs lying alongside black armbands and the supporters divided in opinions between hope and deep despair, the Sparking Clog vault has an uneasy atmosphere of tension and uncertainty this week. The swans are feeding on leeks and daffodils near the opposite...

The Manager of the Month hex looms over the Reebok.
The general consensus is that we are sure to lose this one. Everything points to it.: The crystal ball gazers, Lawro’s prediction that we will win and the Jonah of all awards; Manager of the Month, being won by Owen Coyle are seen as sure inications of a "domingus supremus...

Bobo does a sort of Radio Ga-ga cum non-stream report.
Lupus at MolyneauxI had planned to go to the Tottingham game. Right to the point of GtE getting me a ticket and me setting off. Then, for reasons rooted in the 1970’s, combined with Scouser’s workshy attitudes, I had to return to the North-West & kick a few scallies about...

Guts and effort needed to keep the Wolves from the door.
"Great Expectaions" wasnt’ the book choice of most Bolton fans mid-week, when the lads returned to finish off the business still very much highlighted by the harrowing previous encounter, that left Fabrice Muamba critically ill from his collapse. With the lad hopefully on the way to a miracle recovery, few...

The Axeman takes a nostalgic trip to harder times on the greensward
When I was a lad:Football was played with leather footballs, yes leather. Leather balls were a vast improvement on the inflated pig’s bladders that were originally used back in Queen Bess’s times, but still quite medieval in feel in comparison to today’s modern synthetic balls. It certainly hurt to head...

Keep praying but remember it's the game that counts too.
Boltonions, and indeed most of those who follow football, don’t really care that idiotic, sensation-seeking journalists from comic-book dailies write tripe about mawkish sentiment and scoffing insensitivity. They’d all rather someone died to make caring worthwhile. It’s more news-worthy . Well, sorry chaps, our boy’s alive and well and he...

Water cannons at the ready, the council prepare for an unlikely event.
"The town hall is now taking advanced bookings for arse showings on its steps for after this game. I've just reserved my slot now".
"I keep ringing the town hall but it’s engaged all the time!"
"They're closed Sundays...try tomorrow."
These are a few optimistic views from fans in the event of a...
