Carling Cup - Tranmere 0 - 1 Bolton
Gary Megson isn't completely useless - he taught me a new phrase on Tuesday. In a preview for the game, he is quoted in the local Wirral press as having told the players that "we are going to have to circle the wagons again". Apparently, this is something a cowboy...
Euro 2008: The Netherlands
So the European Championship is upon us, and without a St. George’s cross in sight. The ‘who will you support’ angle is just about the only the option the BBC had available to them, given that they, together with ITV, were committed to screening every single match of the tournament,...
Red Star Belgrade 0 - 1 Wanderers
Was that it? Although those of us who escaped hotel incarceration at the hands of the Serbian police had a good laugh, and we secured a great result, masterminded by Ginger Mourinho, I can't help but feel that it was something of an anti-climax. In short, the Serbian police took no...
The Case for Phil Gartside
I'm not sure I even understand the case against Phil Gartside. Apart from the Carling Cup final tickets debacle (and this is the same Carling Cup, lest we forget, in which only 15,000 turned up to the Reebok for the semi-final against Villa), the club has been run superbly ever...
Tranmere Friendly
It’s always important to remember those less fortunate than yourself, and today was a stark reminder of how far we’ve come in recent years, as our top-half Premiership outfit turned out to do their bit for a club a little way down the footballing food chain from us these days,...
The Clash of the Uglies
Whether one sees the draw as a well-earned point or a missed opportunity to make ground on the fourth Champions’ League spot, it’s difficult to be too surprised at the result. As much as the Club’s P.R. department has had squad members queuing up to stress the extent of our...
Panorama fallout: Big Sam and the bungs
As the only Bolton fan a lot of my friends know, my phone hasn't stopped buzzing tonight. I've told them all that I wasn't going to listen to any of their crap until they have read this review of tonight's Panorama programme on BBC1. Firstly, I can't believe that the BBC...
Bye Bye, Bruno.
When I left the Reebok in injury time against Chelsea last month, it was the first time I have ever failed to see the last kick of a game at which I was present. I knew it was likely to be the last game I could attend this season, even...
FA Cup Replay: West Ham 2 - 1 Bolton (AET)
Before I get into any discussion of what was a disappointing football match for Bolton, I’d like to take this opportunity to make a few general observations about my first visit to Upton Park. I am not entirely sure why, but over the years I had rather gained the impression...
Portsmouth Preview
Who cares that the playing and management staff left the Manchester City Council Arena wearing handcuffs? You won’t find this writer complaining: what could possibly be more entertaining than being battered by local rivals for ninety minutes of the game, only to score a last-minute penalty conceded by their captain...
