Been on the beers since finishing work. Get home and the mrs has flaked out. Sat searching YouTube vids with a few gins trying to reminisce but where do you go Okocha running Keane about the park, scoring that free kick against Villa or against bora, or sending West Ham down, or any showboating. Pedersen scoring goals from ridiculous angles. Sasa and Pollock running rings. Vaz Te miss hitting some worldies. Djorkaef and Hierro gracing the pitch in a white shirt. Anelka scoring for fun in his peak. Stelios playing football with a smile. Nolan and Ricketts smashing United. Davies equalising in Munich. Campo winning free kicks and that strike against Spurs. Chris Fairclough doing his same warmup routine. Paul Warhurst with his 60’s mop. Making a song out of Mixxu Paatalainen. Playing Zenit in europa, a game only fit for Mark Fish. Fabien De Freitas being lighting quick getting to his feet to score against reading. Branagan’s penalty save. That rivaldo fax. Ricardo Gardener and Jermaine Johnson given us both barrels or flair. Morais delivering. Alfie being a striker, a poor mans Klasnic. Freddie Bobic’s hatrick. Bob Taylor! Praying for Fabrice. Praying for Stuart Holden’s knees. Chungy at brum. Liking Scotland a little bit with McGinlay, Walker and Colin Hendry. McGinlay’s goals, McGinlay’s pubs. Listening to Arsene and Benitez moaning. The Icelandic lads, Gudni and Eidur. Dave ding dong do. Nicky Hunt playing upfront. The little guys Michael Johanson, Stig Tofting, Jay Spearing and Stelios. Wembley against Tranmere, liverpool and Reading. Zenden’s double kick, Stoke and Villa in the Semis. Deano as a player. David Reeve’s teeth. Jussi’s double save at Rovers. Felgate being my childhood hero. Beardsley, Shilton, Sir Les and Sir Emile donning a white shirt. Ian Marshall never having a shirt big enough. Ariza too. Jardel losing his golden boot in his shorts. Owen Coyle when you’re winning. Diouf being our wanker. Bo Hansen scoring anything. Elmander’s 10 million pound goal against wolves. Bruno’s military haircut. Crying to my dad that I’m too cold in the lever end. A footballing legend, Gary Speed. Nakata and Nishizawa bringing tears to japs eyes. Jlloyd not conceding a penalty to ronaldo. Aguero getting sent off. Tony Kelly actually playing football, well. Per leaving, Per coming back. Medo’s potential. Standing at Burnden. Alan Smith crying, Joe Cole crying Big Sam making the good times. Eddie throwing good money after bad and now Bassini’s white shirt I’m certain I’ve missed many, I can definitely keep adding to this. I’m still paying a credit card I maxed out following the whites in Europe, I would do it all again tomorrow I can’t wait for this period in our history to be over. I’m sick of reading about all the shite. one miserable bastard. COYWM

Meanwhile, whilst all this is going on, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain is complaining that there are not enough mansions in Cheshire for footballers to buy. I wonder where the core problem in football is.

& the new owner of Bolton Wanderers is...... Sharia Twain

I strongly believe we will survive. There will be numerous interested parties in the club from an admin perspective. A football club is no different than any other business in that a purchase from admin is often a necessary exercise I’ve been involved in placing a number of businesses into administration and liquidation/receivership from a lenders perspective and it’s a formal process that has a purpose and I’ve no doubt that we will go in and be bought out of admin with a cleaner slate and more stable. Isnt going to be pretty but let’s take a massive sense of comfort from all the other clubs that have done it and actually prospered it just takes time

They won't be getting any backing from me, I can assure you! I'll be supporting BWFC, the name on the front of the shirt is more important than the name on the back of it

It wont There are enough of us strong enough to keep the faith in BWFC the club - not the bastards making money out of it. There will be a silver lining at the end of all this shit

Looking forward to the future is a large part of what being a football fan about. You lose a game - there's always another one on the horizon. In May you're looking forward to a few new signings in the Summer. With Bolton Wanderers slipping away from us the absence of "looking to the future" is very difficult to digest. The day I look forward to is when we are in a stable position like the one Phil Neal handed over to Bruce Rioch. At the minute that feels light years away and there's a lot of bleakness to get through before getting there. Two further observations 1. If we survive liquidation and start next year in the football league I wish the EFL would just relegate us to League 2 as our punishment and allow us to start again from there with no points deductions. That way 3 points means 3 points and we have a season and a future to build, something to sell to potential new players. It won't happen - but to me it'd be a decent outcome 2. The EFL clearly sanctioned Ken Anderson back in 15/16 and he has proved to be anything but a fit and proper person to be the custodian of a founder member of the football league. As such they need to take a long hard look at themselves before they start doling out heavy punishments. Any punishment would effectively be being given to the footballing community who will continue to support Bolton Wanderers, none of whom are responsible for this mess.

I'm glad your kid got looked after, I really am, but what about the hundreds, maybe thousands of other kids who've been denied that game? I've said it earlier and someone else has picked up on it, but the season has perfect symmetry with the players refusing to play at St Mirren at short notice at the start of the season. They showed their contempt for the fans that day and barring the odd decent performance have continued to let us down throughout the season. Yes, they should have got paid, they're one of about 6 or 7 squads in the EFL awaiting wages, but so far only one team has had to forfeit a game due to players refusing to play. As if the ongoing pantomime with Anderson / creditors / potential owners etc wasn't a big enough embarrassment, the players have added to the fans' woes this week and that is unforgivable. They can get to fuck as far as I'm concerned. Wheater says that most of the squad are fantastic lads, but couldn't get them to play one last home game? They're complicit in the shitshow, I'm afraid. Off-field isn't their responsibility, but they've taken us down with their spineless, couldn't give a shit performances, yet want us to feel sorry for them? Their wages are late, but they know they'll get them. They'll all be fine next season when they get fixed up elsewhere, of course.

Well I'm off to my pit now after another 'black dog mounts day' Wife telling me to stop being so aggresive about life brexit & all the other inconsequential shite . Couldnt give a rats arse about any of it really , just want my fucking BWFC to survive

He is You can believe me or not As of Wednesday he was upbeat and wanted bassini out of the way

Quick one from me Howard has told some tales, but none intended as wind ups If he doesn't tell his tale at the end, I will

Let's see if they rename Luton to Yaxley Lennon City

It’s also childish and backward to call yourself Tommy when your actual name is Stephen.

11.

It really is specifically aimed at her. Why does it apply to events from 400m to 1 mile? There is no logic or science to that - it just happens to be her previous range of events, though she recently won the South African 5000m on her debut over the distance. As I have said, there is a previous example but that was a sprinter (see Stella Walsh on wiki, for example). There have been others in throwing events, so if there is to be a restriction it should cover all events. The crux of the matter is gender. Are there only two and assigned at birth, or are there two defined with a rare range of mixed in-betweeners? Or should you be allowed to choose your own gender? If the latter then there is a real problem, as some people would choose to define themselves as female simply to improve their medal chances.

Yes but this also assumes there is adequate finance to completely rebuild the club from top to bottom in time for next season. Let's not think League 1 would be a walkover given you could have Ipswich Sunderland Portsmouth and Charlton in there next season.

Exactly!!! And forgive me if I misread their reasons for refusing to play against Brentford which was all about them, not about the rest of the staff at BWFC. Them. Just them. Who's wages are guaranteed, albeit at some point in the future. Unlike the rest of the staff. Happy to be corrected. If I'm wrong then fair enough, but at this moment in time I see shithouses refusing to play due to unpaid wages, who will definitely be paid at some point, worsening the situation for others who may or may not get paid in the future I absolutely could not go to the game tomorrow with that lot wearing our shirt It's like genuine socialist lefties clapping Corbyn or Juventus fans sympathising with the Hillsborough tragedy. Something that feels should be done but is wrong on so many levels

They'll not budge on freedom of movement. I don't know what was ever wrong with nation states being able to set and adjust their own immigration policies based on their own wants and needs at any one time. Its just eminent common sense.

I think it's Olkowski who's pissed me off more than anyone this season. He started so well, but once it became clear we were in for a struggle he didn't want to know. As soon as he could jump ship, he has done. Turd.

We have NATO for our security. You really are desperate to find something positive about the EU if you have to steal the clothes of other organisations. In this case an organisation that pre-dates the EU and which nobody is proposing to leave. Trying to steal the clothes of NATO has been a regular tactic of remainers. It's truly pathetic. Your beloved EU has overseen the improverishment of the whole of southern Europe and the slowest growth rate of any region of the world over the past 30 years. Hardly surprising given its stifling regulation blunts the competitiveness of European business compared to those elsewhere .Let's not have lectures about the economy from EU lovers.

I'd get behind that lot.

Long term security ? Are you wrapped right ? Just look at what has happened in terms of terror attacks since Merkel invited all of the world into Europe. Even she has since admitted she regrets it,....but you know best.....

No way, clear the bloody lot. We need a completely fresh start.

Interpol been around for ages. Security agreements etc don't have to be the sole property of the EU. Just common sense amongst like minded decent nations. As indeed would be trade agreements.

There’s a few good points there to be fair. Obviously the kids got invited in as they was supposed to be mascots. It was a little awkward at first as some of the kids was clearly still pissed off. wheats came across like he wanted to play for the club, and assured us the players that mattered wanted to also. he kept referring to the core of the team but wouldn’t say who, vela got mentioned. dont shoot the messenger I’m just relaying what I got told. my personal opinion did get changed from speaking to him, but trafs pointed out a few facts there.

THIS is what it means to be a Wanderer. To all the shit bags turning away, just looking for excuses not to support the club read this and fucking weep you yellow bellied cunts!

Holdsworth chips in!

Aye bit like bbc northwest news with Wanderers 'expert 'Jack Deadhead last night telling us what we already know Pretty sure he was wearing some sort of luminous tank top though.

Agree entirely which manager would want them disruptive bunch of shits and when the going gets tough they give up wankers the lot of them.

We can’t agree on anything these days. it wouldn’t happen doesn't matter, as we’re not going pop.

I have said previously that If it came to a stage where a phoenix club had to be formed you would end up with 2 clubs and I very much think that would be the case Supporters trust may take the moral high ground but they would alienate a lot of people This site may well end up as a platform for that alienated group , who in turn influence a lot of the core support Think of the numbers at Puds funeral for example - that is the group of hardcore support that to me is the very essence of BWFC , whoever carries that group , carries the heritage For the record I dont think it will come to that and apparently this is the man in whose hands our destiny lies https://www.charlesrussellspeechlys.com/en/people/k/keir-gordon-/ According to Alan Nixon he ( Eddie Davies Trustee ) is the man who can / will trigger administration Maybe we should each email him a reminder to get on with it

On the contrary I think there'd be arguments about every single detail of the new club from name to staff to ground to kit to office stationery! If it came to it, I'd have no other choice but to support them but i think it would be a hard, hard slog. That's why this battered, bruised, diseased shell of a club we currently have needs to be saved. And quick!

Honestly couldn’t think of anything worse than watching us Vs Solihull Moors infront of 800 all pretending it’s a fresh start, it’s good news and we’re all enjoying it. Bollocks

I find this idea of a phoenix club utter pie in the sky fantasy. Just do not see a fan base as tight, as motivated, as "politically" savvy, as empowered as somewhere like Portsmouth or AFC Wimbledon. Slightly different situations yes, but I feel some people look to them as a kind of last get out clause "ah we'd just do what Wimbledon have and start at bottom". Few good days out then back in league in a few years. I'm not having it. It's easy to spout once in never out bollocks on Twitter.

i don't think many of this shower of shit will get fixed up anywhere else Mostly they're oxygen thieves on their last swan song and stealing a living The truth about the dressing room decisions will I'm sure be common knowledge amongst professionals as they'll all talk. This strike whether you see it as justified or not will raise I'm sure a concern with any potential employing chairmen/managers in case it goes tits turbo at their end too

Football generally, BWFC specifically.

Michael James is comfortable with things For me, that's the point we need to remember and take comfort from

To be fair where I work a lot of our dealings are held up/stopped in their tracks with Sharia compliance. Minefield.

Understandable, £4.30 a pint a Coors int Lion of Vienna is probably against sharia. I'd baulk at that too if I hadn't paid a grand up front for 24 games (1 I didn't get to see and two that had no food on)

Admin brings with it a whole load of new parties that will be assssed by the administrators and either allowed or disallowed to make a bid. Highest bid wins.

Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny Johnny was a good man

Phil?

Ultimately it’s Anderson’s failure to pay the normal staff that’s caused the cancellation of the game.

I think it might help if you explain what the mess we are in is ? We are losing money every week. We seem to have millions of debt hidden. The Chairman has gone rogue. The players have gone on strike for not being paid. Some clown with no money claims to control the club. My comment was he was not in the top ten for the mess we are in. Do you agree or disagree? Bearing in mind at least 20 players have gone strike before we start on the idiots running the club.

Ok fuckwits. Do you think Parky is to blame for the mess the club is in ?

Good job we didn't make the playoffs then.

I don't want the cnut anywhere near the club next season, he'll have been one of the ring leaders behind the strike. He's all talk, like the rest of the 'shithouse' players - they don't & didn't give a toss about the impact of the strike action on the fans & club next season.

It could be the 1664 talking, but this has endeared him to more... he’s standing with his comrades, yet not forgetting the fundamentals that afforded his privileged position. Not sure if that’s the lads own shirt, but I understand club shop got a old stock out at the weekend... wouldn’t be surprised if he sorted it. I’ve been derided for championing Wheater before, but whatever scorched skeleton pulls itself from the embers of this car crash, it will be a long time before we someone like him again
