Wolves or Sheep?
November truly was a glorious month. The Whites were free scoring entertainers, winning games and admirers alike. The Spurs and Newcastle games in particular stand out as I watched a new-look Bolton team sweep away everything they came up against. In between them came the Wolves game, featuring one of...
Tonked on Trent
It is perhaps as well that so much of the enjoyment of derived from being a football fan comes from the excitement of the build up, the anticipation of what might happen, and the belief that the 11 men bearing your team's colours are about to put on one hell...
Stanley Matthews came from here.
The Super Whites take a quick trip down to ( to give it its regal title) Stoke-on Trent, this weekend; a place somewhere between Manchester and Birmingham that most folk associate with "pots" of the ceramic sort, rather than the silvered variety that sit waiting for admiration in football club...
Costa Del Reebok
Short of summat to do on a cold Tuesday afternoon at the beginning of a new year, I had a browse through the 28-page Tourism Strategy for Wigan Borough entitled "Destination: WIGAN". Fortunately, as it is quite a long word, the first page deals with the definition of the word...
Rose tints at the Chelsea flower show
Getting off the tube at Fulham Broadway I noticed how well heeled the Chelsea crowd were - and polite too. At least the Italian, American and Kiwi lads I talked to were. Bidding farewell to the Italian and his shiny new Chelsea shirt after showing him where the ground was,...

The Eight Days of Christmas
There are about ten minutes of shopping time left between now and Christmas if the ever-increasingly frenetic adverts are to be believed - which is plenty of time to savour a cup of coffee, listen to the last few overs of the cricket, mentally prepare the toddlers\' christingle service that I have...
Fox Hunting in the City
So, after a great spell of non-losses and some media attention that grudgingly admits we are playing some attractive football, tomorrow, the Super Whites trot across to visit the team of a manager with a name like an ice-cream seller, at a ground that sounds like something from Lord of...
Good morning Mr Magpie; how are you?
On the same day that Bolton won 8-0 vs Almeria in La Liga, displaying some of the most vibrant attacking football seen in the modern era – a performance of similar quality was seen as Wanderers showed they have hit top form ahead of next week's North-West Clasico with a...
White Day in the Black Country
Although it seems like he has been here forever, the Wolves game at the weekend signalled my first trip to see the Whites, home or away, under the Owen Coyle regime. A shameful statistic it may be, but I did not care one jot: I was too caught up the...
