FD, I feel like banning you for giving Makakakakaka a better score than Muamba!

It's the worst game I've seen Muamba have for us, his giving away possession was directly responsible for Spurs first goal, numerous times we tried breaking and he just headed or passed the ball back to Spurs' midfield. I literally lost count of the amount of times he gave the ball back to Spurs, often when our full backs were starting to push up the pitch.

Makukula held the ball up well, brought others into the game and found himself in shooting positions, sadly his match fitness and lack of games meant he couldn't do anything with those shooting positions. He's going to be a good option to bring off the bench, or to play when SUPER Kevin Cyril Davies is suspended or injured...but he is desperately short of fitness, which I'm sure we're working on.

ah, the life of a Wanderer in Australia! 2am starts, often for dull 0-0, or 0-1. And without the luxury of foxtel, often sitting through lifeless minute-by-minute updates on Sky or BBC, when I can't find a working stream! But matches like this make it worth while.

Wouldn't have it any other way!

Great leadership by example by our new Captain, wish he could score like that more often. Both excellent goals, but how bad was that dfence for those 2 mins. They say that it only takes a second to score a goal so we could have been dead and burried in those 2 mins, but for the other 88 mins we bossed the game defensively and didn't give them a single real change. So how can we be so bad for those 2 mins, you couldn't blame Megson for the team letting those two goals in as he had the right team doing the rights things both before and after that time. We should have been out of sight well before those 2mins of course as we made loads of chances that we should have at least tested the goalkeeper. Highlight of the day for me was seeing again a Bolton midfielder who can hold the ball, run with the ball, has pace and can pass and tackle. Top marks for our new young Davies who had an excellent game considering it was his first Premiership game for us. Oh the United Everton game has just stared may watch a bit of that before I go to bed, couldn't sleep at the moment even though its 2-30 am here! Night night all

Im up late having a few beers after the game also ...

Hopefuly, M.Davies turns out to be a similar Championship find that Everton had with Tim Cahill, great game and i was pleased to see the ball rolling on the grass and passed, more so than belted up the pitch every time, to be honest i think tottenham were surprised with our ball control .....

Hopefully the form and the moral the team had in this game keeps up.

Trying to figure out what was with the goal dance, were they playing the flute or something ?

Spot on with both there mate

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp: "That's the last four away games in which we've dominated proceedings and then gifted the opposition - and these are teams that are around us at the bottom end of the table - a winner two or three minutes from time. "Sitting there with five minutes to go I wouldn't have taken a draw because we were pummelling them and there was only one team who I thought would win it and that was us. But we've thrown it away again. "As far as transfers go, no-one will be leaving this club in the next few days, I'll tell you that, because we can't afford for anybody to leave. But I definitely think we need one or two more players - strong players - to come in, so if something can be done, we'll do it. "And as for Darren Bent - he has absolutely nothing to prove to me, I know he's a good player. He was excellent today, has 14 goals for the season, and we need him here - especially with Jermain Defoe out with what looks a nasty injury."

oh dear

worst post-match comments ive seen from an opposition manager in a long while

Several on here posted earlier in the week that we needed to get a point at Blackburn and beat Spuds. We did it, and though the circumstances were maybe a little nervy at the end of the season these could be 4 very important points.

We played well, and weren't troubled until we started making mistakes. Muamba gave the ball away cheaply for the first and Ricky and Jlloyd defended very poorly in the second build up.

But jesus did Kev put in a performance today. He's been rightfully put down on here of late for some indifferent performances and his footballing ability has been exposed when he's on the right. But down the middle with someone with him he's a threat and half. Why did we never have him and Anelka up top together?? He was everywhere and two great goals.

Taylor was much-improved, as was Steinsson. Gardner showed what we missed Weds - someone to carry the ball forward, win free kicks to take pressure off and track back. The new centre-half partnership looks promising, but Guy Perrier doesn't look great in the air.

But what a full debut for Mark Davies. Made one and stood out in illustrious company in midfield. Especially that dirty, cheating Wilson boy. Anyone in short sleeves and gloves...

Anyway, shall enjoy this. And hopefully we can build to a point against Everton

He watched a different second half to me. They came into it in the second half, but we were a long way from pummelled. Liverpool and Arsenal away we were pummelled. Less so today methinks

Harry Redknapp needs to shut his mouth.

That is absolutely astonishing. If they were pummelling us so much, why did Bagpuss look so suicidal? There was only one team that deserved to win today, and it was Bolton. He's dillusional if he actually believes what he's saying there.

Just wanted to say that I'm glad that I managed to grab the stream for the second half for this game. Watching the game in the US via a russian website, streaming an iraqi tv station - Ain't the internet wonderful! Not too sure how many years watching a game like that takes off your life expectancy though - or the odds on throwing large things at the screen....

I say keep bitching Harry. Tell the team what you really think. Tell them to need to sign 11 new players.

Super Matty Taylor did summat similar after his goal et Ewok Park on Wednesday. He's either playing an oboe, summoning a snake from a basket, or fellating a donkey

(and as long as we keep winning he can do any or all of those as far as I'm concerned!)

Taylor did some kind of clarinet thing against Blackburn . . . perhaps he was imitating Craig Bellamy and has recently pummelled a team mate with a woodwind.

The only time they were dangerous was between the 70th Minute and the 79th Minute, so maybe Harry only sees EPL matches lasting 9 minutes with a 69 minute warm up before anything counts ... and a 10 minute warm down after.

Yeah, hmm thats must explain it ...

Dunno about playing an oboe, but phrases about "pink oboes" springs to mind. Anymore of it, and Graeme Le Saux will be commentating on Bolton matches in the future.

Who else loved Davo's completely brilliant yet nonsensical running diving header down in the left corner in the second half?

Absolute legend.

Come on the Wanderers! Errr, come on you Super Whites!

Top stuff, so glad you beat the Yids, especially in the dying minutes.

Thanks Fozzy, I'm sure they'll be equally as delighted when we return the favour by beating you guys in a couple of weeks
