R.I.P. Strange that people would be respectful of this, and yet go on to call United 'Munichs'

Even though I never really liked Mourinho, he was amusing at times. Now he just sounds like a spoiled kid.

Why would you post that drivel? What do you get out of it?

I'm glad it's changed to naff off. I have very delicate sensibilities.

Woo, come on the pool, just cos I hate Chelsea. Hope Man U thrash them in Greece. Big Sam to Chelsea, why didn't I see it before?

Come on the pool!

Hope scousers really trash them, somebody hits Lamps, Drogba gets sent off for diving, Robben sets subbed off after 20 mins and goes for Jose. After the match Jose goes insane and is never heard of again.

Ali Dia. "After a playing career at the lower levels in France and Germany, and having already had failed trials at Port Vale, Gillingham and Bournemouth, Dia was signed by Southampton manager Graeme Souness in 1996, after Souness received a phone call purporting to be from Liberian international and former FIFA World Player of the Year George Weah. "Weah" told Souness that Dia was his cousin, had played for Paris Saint-Germain and had played 13 times for his country. In actual fact, none of this was true, and the phone call was from Dia's agent. Nonetheless, Souness was convinced, and signed Dia on a one-month contract. Dia played just one game for Southampton, against Leeds United on November 23 1996. He was originally scheduled to play in a reserve friendly against Arsenal, but the match was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch. In the match against Leeds, he came on as a substitute for Matthew Le Tissier after 32 minutes but his performance was spectacularly below Premier League quality; many would say that Dia was the worst player to ever play for Southampton. He himself suffered a substitution (by Ken Monkou) after playing for 53 minutes. Leeds won the match 2-0." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Dia

Don't think so, on further inspection I found out Mattythewhite is actually 16. Certainly loves football

Mattythewhite seems to do most of the squad stuff, although he's a Man Utd. fan... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mattythewhite

It's not reliable, but it's a very good idea. I did a bit on Cesar when I was bored, and once I mentioned it, it got kind of ripped to shreds. Anyone know how does the Bolton stuff, they're usually very quick to update.

I wouldn't know, I was playing football myself. I'll take it they were bad then, but just from what I have seen of them I've seen a good spirit and attacking football, the near-comeback against United after 3 early goals comes to mind.

They've conceded 5 less than us, and scored 5 more. Must be a lot of very bad finishers out there if they're as bad as you think.

Roberts, Chimbonda, Bullard and Kavanagh are the ones I'm thinking of, and they were a bit part of their team

Wigan lost half their squad this year.

Nice job summing it up.

That's a logical conclusion alright... unless he's been betting against Bolton, maybe against Reading perhaps...

What are you on about? They don't play shit football, the play good football, passing down the wings, good fighting spirit.

Wonder is it anything to do with signing Scott Brown?

I'll probably head over too, who'll be in line for a debut. Cid maybe.

Beat me to it on that one.

"Whether Allardyce has quit Bolton because he genuinely needs a break from football or because he wants to smooth the way for a move to a bigger club is open to speculation. Perhaps other reasons will emerge for his self-imposed exile. Whatever happens, Allardyce's managerial achievements thus far deserve high praise." Sounds a bit dodgy.. although they might just be trying to maintain the legitimacy of the panorama programme. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...ers/6606219.stm

There is no chance Mark Hughes would leave Blackburn for Bolton. If he goes anywhere, It'll be to Man Utd.

How about Louis Van Gaal? Former Barca and Holland manager, looking at AZ (his club now) could compare to Bolton. It's a league dominated a few big teams. Before he arrived they placed 10th, 10th, 3rd and 5th, and since his arrival they finished 2nd last year. This year they could've won the league but they're down 2-1 right now,meaning they'll finish 3rd because their keeper got sent off.

Ah now, he might be on his way, but he'll surely be there for the last game. Even if he is going, after what he's done for the club he deserves a good sending off.
