Hard to hear Nottingham Forest mentioned without memories of the immortal Brain Clough springing straight to mind. A great player, football manager and a no-nonsense, blunt, straight spoken man, Clough was nothing if not controversial. Many witticisms , funny and penetratingly direct are attributed to him, such as, " I...
"Nowhere to run to, Nowhere to hide". A song lyric that might have been written for the Whites game on Sunday. It really is time to face harsh fact: By four-o’clock tomorrow we’ll know if the pendulum will finally stop, or creak agonisingly along for another week. Two matches being played...
With half-full/half-empty glasses scattered all over the tables, rose-tinted specs lying alongside black armbands and the supporters divided in opinions between hope and deep despair, the Sparking Clog vault has an uneasy atmosphere of tension and uncertainty this week. The swans are feeding on leeks and daffodils near the opposite...
The general consensus is that we are sure to lose this one. Everything points to it.: The crystal ball gazers, Lawro’s prediction that we will win and the Jonah of all awards; Manager of the Month, being won by Owen Coyle are seen as sure inications of a "domingus supremus...

Not a small weekend, this. It starts with two points separating the bottom five, four of whom face off on Saturday: Blackburn at Wolves, QPR at Bolton. It ends with Wigan travelling to the surprisingly knotty Norwich knowing that defeat could leave them five points and an eternity from safety.Nothing...
Writing about a nil-nil draw is a bizarre task. Unless a red card is shown or a long-term injury is sustained then it’s ultimately a futile and wordy way of saying no-one scored but both teams earned a point. Of course as you sit there watching it there’s no way...
The Cup is less than exciting these days, it seems. Cup fever in Bolton is now 30 minute ‘flu’, barely noticed, even by the small number afflicted, dealt with easily by a low strength soluble aspirin - much more sudden yawn than sudden death.We got more in the ground than...
In gardens everywhere the early shoots of spring are staring to appear; in a couple of short months to bloom as daffodils and tulips, much needed colour breaking through the winter gloom. Whisper it, but the green shoots of recovery are also starting to show in Bolton Wanderers’ hereto barren...
"For missing the target from there, Pineapple Head, you want bloody shooting".
