YATESY has got his claws stuck now, you're not going to let up on this one are you!? Relegation to be blamed on Matt Taylor, classic You know its all set for a Matty Taylor Screamer on Saturday

Why does Megson keep picking Taylor = he is a Megson signing and Megson believes all the rubbish that once he scores one he will get a bag-full. Time to drop him* A front 3 of Diouf, Davies and Stelios for the run in may just give us the goals we need. * as many recall - I said the same about Anelka and look what happened. I don't think lightening will strike twice though Cue a Taylor screamer this weekend

Completely agree. And Megson is pretty much saying the same himself. http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/wanderers/w...derers_fans.php Judge him at the end of the season. It's a big if at the moment but if we do stay up then for me he has done his job. We have to get behind them till the end of the season - it's the only way we can help.

Sentimental post that one lad. Absolutely spot on. Had to remind my dad of exactly the same thing. It certainly is the end of an era - it will be looked back on with extremely fond memories for those of us fortunate enough to witness it.

Yeh Yeh Bextor SEB and all that! Realised I'd messed up as soon as I posted it! I am keeping with my penalty victory although I think its wishful thinking, but we have to keep the faith, "Reserve teams" have done us proud on a few occasions this season. Will have to leave straight after we have finished tonight so a certain somebody can get a good kip before going off to Lisbon!

3rd time lucky with my side prediction! There will probably only be Cahill who retains his place for Wigan. (Assunimg Jussi is fit and he plays McCann instead of Guthrie) Pretty bloody obvious really but what the hell here goes Al Habsi Hunt Samuel Meite Cahill Andranik J O Brien Guthrie Stelios Helguson Vaz Te Subs Braaten, Harsanyi, Sinclair, Cassidy, Sissons, Woolfe, Walker.

Correction I believe Taylor hasn't travelled either. Bring in Vaz Te then. An optomistic penalty win still stands

There's only Diouff that surprises me on that list. I thought having not played last week and with that shambles of a pitch at the JJB not being ideal for diouffs style for 90 mins he would have got some kind of run out on Thursday. Still think we can field a side that can do a job Al Habsi Hunt Samuel Meite Cahill Campo J O Brien Guthrie Stelios Helguson Taylor 1-1 penalty win for the Whites! COME ON

They certainly do as most of it got chucked last time rather than drunk

He finally makes a post! Can't believe its the breaking of your 100% record that tempts you! Its is a great record including your anglo italian exploits - bet you're gutted Hazzy will surpass you Like Yatesy says hope the injuries are healing well.

Absolutely spot on

Breaking news on the scarves - they have arrived, a plain blue and white little number

Mrs Desperado and sister (but not me unfortunately)

We had a similar discussion post match yesterday. There are a number of reasons for this; the board not backing BSA (understandable and debatable from both sides), BSA taking his eye of the ball from mid season onwards last season, the departure of BSA, Little Sams disaster, sale of Anelka, not managing to replace Anelka. Personally I don't blame Megson, I don't think he has done much wrong since his appointment (maybe Rasiak, but it was always going to be a gamble based on the fact there wasn't the available quality around)And I disagree I don't think we are toothless and spineless - maybe under Lee, but not under Megson. You don't get some of the results he has got by being spineless. The main difference between this year and years previosly is consistency. With all the changes that have been made both on and behind the scenes it isn't suprising we are lacking consistency. But to answer your question no its not too late. We can survive and move onwards (maybe upwards), hard for some people to see after 2 heavy defeats but nevertheless still realistic IMO

An easy mistake to make confusing those 2

Making rash decisions to drop our most consistent players after a defeat by Liverpool is wrong IMO

You're watching a different game to me if you think we are making a conscious decision to go out there and defend a 0 - 1 scoreline. When a team has got the momentum and players like gerrard and Babbel are tearing you apart like they were you have no choice - you are under the cosh and have to try to defend. If anything, in pushing forward when we were 0-1 down (albeit uneffictively) we were giving them more space to attack us.

Citeh - Win Arsenal - loose West Ham - Win Sunderland - Win Wigan - Draw Manure - Lose Villa - Draw Boro - Draw Spurs - Loose Chelsea - Lose

I believe the reason we lost that game is beacuse not one of our players would get in Liverpool's side. It always has and always will be the same, we can occassionally knock the top 4 out of there stride but more often than not we will loose. Look at the performance of Gerrard yesterday - he was fantastic, not much any side in the world could do in stopping him when he is on form like that. I am not going to fall into the trap of predicting a demise of relegation after losing to Liverpool. Yes there were problems highlighted yesterday and the last 2 games in terms of results look ugly. But I still think we can get the 10 points neede to stay up.

I thought this advice was absolutely spot on. The Tapas bars/restaurants on Santa Ana were great. Anyone see the guys on the accordion and the crazy dancer!? Mayor was the "square" which has now become defined as a must for Bolton's Euro excursions Sol - didn't get it, few decent bars on the side streets, but basically just a busy traffic island

Why is Kevin Davies in our side; 1/ Outstanding workrate 2/ Strength/Ability to hold the ball up 3/ Support play, bringing others into the game 4/ Flexibility in playing anywhere across our front line 5/ Target man when needed - like it or not our best chances of scoring will come from percentage play, often coming from flick ons from Davies 6/ Arguably the most committed player to wear the BWFC shirt in the present era Yes we would love to see him score more goals, but he is the lynchpin of all our forward play, take him out of the equation and our chances of staying up will severly diminish.

Front Page of Bolton News reads "The Big Euro Rush" and reports that 214 of our seats are sold and just 8 remain! Bring it on - see you at the airport tomorrow!

Playing devil's advocate here, last night did work and will continue to work as long as folk are happy to compromise. If you want a good atmosphere and a full house accept that kids like banging bam bams and dads wanted to take their kids in the singing section. There were 12 of us in the North Lower including a couple of kids, we stood when we could, sat when others sat, joined in with the 90 minute long chanting including some of the more traditional songs and enjoyed the whole experience - a great effort from all involved.
