Nurse...nurse!!!
Things are grim at the ‘Bok. There’s a permanent black cloud over the stadium with forks of lightning bursting from it occasionally. The players are in open mutiny. El Hadji Diouf is on a pub crawl in Bolton town centre, telling anyone who stays long enough to listen that the...
Homer’s Odyssey, or Massacre in Macedonia?
So, gentlefolk and staunch supporters of the Superwhites, time again to look again at the Atlas to see where the positives lie in a quick trip, on the "Sammytours" airline to the lands of non-parochial opponents. Draw a line from the Reebok through Italy - sort of north of Greece...
Birmingham City 1 Sammy Lee P45
In the world of the warrior, seppuku was a deed of bravery that was admirable in a samurai who knew he was defeated, disgraced, or mortally wounded. It meant that he could end his days with his transgressions wiped away and with his reputation not merely intact but actually enhanced....
The Sound of Brums
A long serving, high profile and often controversial manager leaves his job, and his assistant takes over. He drops a popular player, changes the playing style and the results are… well mixed to say the least. Unexpected defeats, lacklustre performances, a struggle in the league… Yes, it is...
History Repeating?
The last time I went to Fratton Park we had Jardel warming up before coming on as probably the fattest sub in the history of the Premier League. It was also the last time I can remember the Super Whites being in the relegation zone. That was four years ago,...
For Whom the Pompey Chimes Toll
Following on from the opening successive defeats of the season comes a tie that looks uninviting at best. Whilst the Fratton Park Faithful will approach this match with the confidence born of holding the champions to a praiseworthy draw, Trotters fans find themselves observing a team that looks short of...
Fulham Preview - No More of the Same Please
Fulham, Fulham, Fulham. Home to Egyptian tycoons with conspiracy fixations, the oldest stand in the football league, and, hopefully, Bolton Wanderers’ first victory of the season. The BBC website reported that the Wanderers came out of the traps like a hamstrung sprinter on Saturday, and that seemed unpleasantly appropriate as Kevin...
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,...
Falling at the Final Hurdle
A disappointingly flat end to the season from the reserves saw them comfortably beaten by a bigger, stronger Reading team who can now claim mastery over all players at Premier League clubs who aren't good enough to play in the Premier League. From the start Reading looked the stronger team,...
Feeble Wanderers Hand the Shammers a Lifeline
In light of the fact that our lads couldn’t be bothered to send the Hammers packing, why should anyone bother doing a match report? No one did. Whoever heard of a match report based on radio and MOTD? What’s to report any way? We had a glorious chance to cement...
