A Welcome in the Winter Hillside

Trotting Home

It's a cup match. Bolton Wanderers don't care. Or do they?

In gardens everywhere the early shoots of spring are staring to appear; in a couple of short months to bloom as daffodils and tulips, much needed colour breaking through the winter gloom. Whisper it, but the green shoots of recovery are also starting to show in Bolton Wanderers’ hereto barren...

Buddy, Can You Spare a Diamond?

Owen Coyle is fond of polishing rough diamonds into shining jewels. DSB shines a light on the brightest.

After career-creating cameos from Jack Wilshere and Daniel Sturridge in recent seasons, Bolton need a new hero more than ever. Dave Sutton's Barnet assesses the options open to Owen. On 29 January 2010, newly-installed Bolton manager Owen Coyle borrowed Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere. Long touted as one of the most...

The Greater Manchester Handicap Hurdle.

Level playing fields and the handicap allowances.

"Sir Alex is a real gent and a fantastic manager. He has some really terrific players and is a credit to the Barclays Premier League" Right, that’s that out of the way Owen. Now then, the game: In a lot of sports a handicap system comes in to equalise the chances of...

Why Have Silk When You Can Have Cotton?

Welcome to 2012 and the Whites are already off to a good start. But in the FA Cup Third Round, anything can happen...

The la-di-da neighbours from down the hill. Don't you just hate them? Well no, not really, but just for the sake of a bit of pre-match colour, let's run with it for a moment.Too good for cotton, the toffee-nosed weavers of Macclesfield plumped to make their fortunes from silk instead....

Pinch Yourselves

Yes. that really did happen. Bolton Boris joins Stuart Holden and Tony Kelly for something rarer than Santa; a win.

A three hour bus journey from Sale to Blackburn was faced as I set off eagerly from work for this keenly contested Lancashire derby. A quick stop in Bolton for a chippy and a bus change and I was off again. As the journey went on, it became bleaker and...

Cold Cottage Pie

Away Daze

Owen'sEleven talks about London, Public houses and the 90s hit parade. Oh, and our impending doom.

It was with a sense of inevitability that I boarded the 1:15pm train from Clapham Junction to Putney en route to Craven Cottage, home of Fulham Football Club. It's a lovely place. Sitting on the Thames, surrounded by parkland and affluence. Not to mention a plentiful supply of welcoming pubs in...

For Whom the Eight Bells Toll

Author: Bruce Rioja / Date: Friday 16th December 2011

Away Daze

Bruce loves the ground, the atmosphere and amenities but isn't too confident of a total pleasure trip.

For Whom The Eight Bells Toll  Only those who are being abused can understand why they've stayed. They have a million reasons why they can't stay and million reasons why they can't leave!And only one reason to keep visiting Craven Cottage – to be there on that all elusive occasion on...

Lucky Bags Are The Answer.

Zulus to the south, one of them.

The day of my annual trip to White Hart Lane dawned relatively brightly. I caught a train which took me, via Northampton into Euston, courtesy of London Midland. Cheek by jowl with hundreds of Christmas shoppers I mused on reports of the biting recession. I then took the tube to...

Relegation form? Armchair Wanderer has the remote within reach for ITV4s Bond film should things get ugly...

In the aftermath of West Brom, Coyle’s post-match interviews are getting less bubbly and it’s almost like beating Stoke was some kind of mirage. Had we won at the weekend we’d have been on 12pts, that’s a point a game. We didn’t so we’re now on 0.75 points per game...
