Nil Desperandum

A Tango Latin and rose-tinted preview view of game one

‘Nil desperandum Coyle duce at auspice Coyle ‘  Pinching and bastardising a bit of Latin to suit the occasion. Roughly: " Never Despair with Coyle as our leader and Coyle to protect us" or near enough. The "Nil" bit is also a possible reference to both teams achieving...

Spanish omlette and a pint of Lager

Pru does a spy job on our last pre-season warm-up.

"Having caught whiff on the underground social media that is The-Wanderer of the event of the year, I turned up to CAPS’ house only to find a sign saying, ‘Gone fishing. PS. Have a wash’ Shaking off this body blow, I decided to make the best of it,...

Vote for Bolton

Author: ratbert / Date: Friday 7th May 2010

Trotting Home

The election's (sort of) over, something called the World Cup looms and Bolton's season ends with some old chums from down the M6 dropping in to help celebrate.

The reds might be still in power but the blues are ahead, albeit not with a convincing lead. But enough about the Premier League title race. Bolton are safe for another year, and there’s a party of sorts to be had at the Reebok before thoughts turn to the summer...

Another Hole in the Sinking Pompey Ship?

Portsmouth. Home. Easy, right? H. Pedersen warns against complacency.

Bolton's performance at Stoke was nothing to write home about, but two Matt Taylor goals in 10 minutes of madness ensured that we went home with three points. With safety all but secure, the balance of the season should be a cakewalk for Owen Coyle, right? Finish the last three...

Easter Egg on Our Face

Author: officer_dibble / Date: Monday 5th April 2010

Trotting Home

Losing at home to a team that let seven in last week. No worries, eh?

Right from the first minute to the last the matchday experience yesterday was appalling. Something that really got me yesterday, and I really don't think it helps the atmosphere, is the prolonged pre-match 'experience'. By this I mean the coming out of the tunnel, the lining up, the shaking of...

In Search of the Golden Easter Egg

Happy Easter - we hope. Two teams coming off a good thrashing hope to give our Marshall a good break in Bolton.

Sod the Rags game in 3D, I'm off to the Reebok to see my first Bolton game of this season! Shame on me for not getting round to it sooner. Despite now living closer to the hallowed Middlebrook turf (Isle of Man instead of Belfast), I have found it more...

William The White suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune at the Reebok

We played our most feared and hated rivals. They scored four goals – again. We lost – again. We competed for most of the first half and the opening of the second but never really looked like rescuing the game. Lame defending contributed to three of the goals and a...

Rooney Signs for Bolton

Really, in time to face his old club. In Tangodancer's wildest dreams, anyway.

Well, that title got your attention. If the glowering one appears at all, it’ll only be signing autographs for those plastic and traitorous unmentionable supporters who live in our fair parish, but only support multi-millionaire teams who win their games regularly. Hating Manchester United is a birthright for any good Boltonian....

Pies Get Mashed

A thumping, overdue thrashing is administered by the Whites.

Things you don’t see very often at a Bolton match. 1. Me. 2. A Johan Elmander goal. 3. A Fabrice Muamba goal. 4. A Kevin Davies penalty. 5. The away fans leaving en masse some 20 minutes before the end of the game. There have been times when I’ve bombed up...
