Oh, I'd Rather have a Pastie than a Pie
And so the season is beginning to draw to its inevitable close and we are now, quite firmly, in the final run-in. In fact, we’re very much at the same point as we were last season. With a mere handful of games still to play, we find ourselves in the...
Pedalling Pedersen
Seemingly, there is one inalienable truth here. Big Sam has stuffed things up. Right? Wrong. The answer, beyond a pair of boots with a decent length on studs, is simple. Character. There just isn't enough of this intangible stuff around in football these days and Henrik 'Pedallo' Pedersen, as I...
A Tale of Two Cities
Not exactly Shakespeare, but you get the gist. That’s right me fellow Wanderers, we are on the cusp of the greatest of epics - the Local Derby. This act sees us go toe-to-toe with our old foes from the Blue-and-considerably-less-successful half of Manchester. Tomorrow, we’re in for yet another...
Tal Ben Haim v Kevin Davies
ATTACK MINDED Our system works, of that there is no doubt, but it is Kevin Davies that makes it work in my view and should we lose him, we lose the system (at least the effective way in which it is played). Plus, if Davies goes, we can no longer laugh...
Getting a Fill of Fulham
Our second game of the current Premiership campaign is upon us. So soon? Aye. Another screwed up evening kick-off mid-week. In Laaarrnnndon of all places. Darn sarf. Don't expect a particularly big turn-out for this one kids - especially in the away end. No matter. So what do we have to...
Bolton 2 - Allardyce 2
I think its fair to say that Christmas has been pretty lean this year. A lacklustre performance against Sunderland yielding a mere point when we should have been unwrapping all three. The Boro game was postponed due to a frozen pitch. We capitulated in the absolute worst...
When is a Set Piece not a Set Piece?
I was idly watching that wonderful institution the other day, Sky Sports News, when they ever so casually threw me a curve ball of a statistic. Apparently, Bolton Wanderers (my beloved club that is treated with such petulance within the national media) scored 60% of their goals last season from...

GOALS 1. JAY-JAY OKOCHA v ASTON VILLA CARLING CUP SEMI 2004 (5-2) The second free kick - no-one else in the world would have dreamed of attempting it. 2. KEVIN NOLAN v MAN UTD 2001 (2-1) An incredible volley from the young mickey mouser following a fantastic deep cross from...
You're Simply Barness, Better Than All the Rest...
Can anyone please explain to me why Tony Barness has been unceremoniously axed from the first team squad? In addition, why does Nicky Hunt get seemingly preferential treatment? Nicky Hunt has played in about 23 or so games for the Whites this season, and his performances have ranged...
Two Sides to Every Bad Penny
The Diouf saga continues unabated. Never have I seen a player turn from Hero to Villain after just one match. I really had thought that he was beginning to put his troubles behind him, knuckle down and turn-on the football. Which he did - for the...
