Yeah i'm ok, did you manage to get rid of the clap pal?

Why dont you turn the light on then or are you in fuel poverty like me. Anyway i know whay you mean your halfway through a post and suddenly its been posted, does my head in , and i am sick of making spelling mistakes on words i know how to spell because my keyboard doesnt work properly.

Are you leathered already MG , all your post seem to be EDITED !! Baileys and Brandy is good,Jaegarmeister and Baileys is not. I am into the Moscow Mules at the moment , i find them very refreshing on a Sunday especially

exactly so with our squad being short on numbers as Mego keeps complaining about i would have thought he might have kept him atleast until we can get somebody else , and it would give Mego the chance to have a good look at him, anyway we will see how he goes on at QPR

he has scored as many for Iceland this season as our 2nd leading goalscorer (Taylor) , never really saw much of him but with Meg he must really not rate him

I read somewhere that she is a big Bolton fan , I like the way she said she was from Bolton every week, although to be fair, would anyone admit they were from the tramp infested Metropolitan Borough of Wigan?

GARY NEVILLE goes without saying as does JOHN ALDRIDGE. I also have a particular loathing for PETER SCHMEICHEL.Surpised JOEY BARTON hasnt had a mention but i suppose alot of people feel sorry for him now his late bid for BBC sports personality of the year looks doomed because of injury.I also cant stand, even though in no way can they be passed s players or indeed knowing anything about football, JIM ROSENTHAL, CLIVE TYLDESLEY and PHIL GARTSIDE.

Styles is somewhat of a gary neville , he LOVES the attention his shite refereeing inevitably receives..He was the ref March 07 when we played Blackburn at the Reebok. Not content with giving the grid lickers two soft penalties he decided to disallow a 92nd minute equaliser for a most dubious offside.He is a pussy of the first order and should not be allowed to fef a BWFC game ever again.

Yeah he got the ball back and should have booted it

The sky commentator just came out with a classc "Liverpool are preventing Bolton from playing their ugly football!" Thats what we've got to put up with.

This fixture always seems to be live on sky, remember when Holdsworth scored the winner late on, it was on a Monday night ,i was in a bar in Didsbury absolutely leathered . I went mental, i only missed one other home game that season , 2-0 to bolton tomorrow

I think you maybe wrong about the price, i have just bought 2 returns for ?36, bolton to london ie ?18.00 each , from the Virgin website, pretty good value really ,going Friday, return Sunday, making a weekend out of it.

Megson has has 40 premiership games in charge and we have got 46 points. So after 38 games we has 40 points under him.

B?stard He's no better than Mark Thomson, director general of the BBC. A mate of mine works at the BBC in Manchester in the canteen, and not once has Mark Thomson even phoned him to say thanks, or well done, or anything They're all the same in their ivory towers. Megson out. Yeah any excuse Megson out and while were at it LETS PUBLICALLY FLOG Johnathan Woss and Wussell Bwand the bastards

I met an Academy player on Wednesday , a 16 year old apprentice who has been at Bolton for 3 months. So we got talking and i eventually asked him what Gary Megson was like.I was surprised to learn that the lad had never met Megson, and indeed none of the Academy team had. Ok he might me focusing on the first team and rightly so ,but alot of these lads are away from home for the first time and a bit overwhelmed and he cant even be bothered to have 5 minutes with these kids , have a word with them and make them feel welcome. This to me says alot about Megson not just as a manager but as a person. He is an out and out gary neville. How are the kids supposed to respect him when he doesnt make any effort with them. He doesnt know the first thing in how to deal with people and this also comes across with any media interviews when he comes out with the most cringeworthy comments. Also as the kid said ,it appears that it is not only the fans he is unpopular with but alot of people inside the club cant stand him. He is the most unpopular figure at Bolton Wanderers for years. His time is up.

Yeah well i was interrupted halfway throught doing my post then lost my thought process but basically what i meant was support them for a couple more times, see if we win, then if not its time to go to town on Megson and his shite band of loser football.

pearshaped we still give full support and then Andy Gray and the newspapers cannot fault our support and Megson cannot try to blame another defeat on the fans . Gartside cannot then fail to notice we are shite and might do something about it.

At the end of the day we all want the same thing, Bolton Wanderers to succeed. I always said i would give Megson 10 games this season and if we hadnt improved by then Megson would have to face the music. I know he doesnt do himself any favours by saying things like "we played well against Blackburn" but we did win against West Ham and to me he still has 1 game to prove himself. In my book if we get on his back early on against Everton ie, if we are clueless or go 1-0 down (or both) I SAY WE SHOULD STILL GIVE UNDYING SUPPORT TO BOLTON ALL NIGHT, sing your hearts out, even if we are 2 or 3 down (i know its hard), so we either lose ,or you never know, win. And the fans might get some credit for once. We then have City at home if front of the live cameras.This is another chance to showcase what great fans we are. FULL SUPPORT all the game , if it goes

WONDER WHAT THE CRITERIA WAS FOR THIS LOAD OF OLD BOLLOCKS Doncaster Rovers top football 'over-achievers' league A major in-depth study published today reveals that Doncaster Rovers are the biggest over-achievers in English football during the Premier League era. ?Donny? fans have been living the good life recently and can now boast greater respective achievements than Manchester United or Chelsea, having come out top in The Achievers Report 2008 - the biggest research study ever carried out by The New Football Pools. Statisticians from The New Football Pools examined thousands of results, league tables, club records and financial data to compare the size of each club ? based on stadium capacity, average attendances, club investment, player transfers etc ? with what it has achieved on the pitch each season since 1992. By creating this annual benchmark, each club?s achievements could be assessed on equal terms. Donny were crowned the game?s best performers in the Premier League era, edging out Portsmouth and Reading, with Manchester United in 29th position. The report identified Sheffield Wednesday as the biggest under-achievers overall, ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest, who finished in second and third place respectively. Here is the complete list of 92 League Clubs, ranging from Doncaster as top achievers to Sheffield Wednesday at 92nd." 1. Doncaster Rovers 2. Portsmouth 3. Reading 4. Hull City 5. Wigan Athletic 6.

The M61 is never gonna be the same again with about 2000 tractors , combine harvesters and peabiners coming down it

I Contacted Westmidswhite regarding ticket and he has waived the ten pound charge and agreed to give ticket free so FAIRPLAY to him. My dad is having the ticket. Lets thrash the grid licking bastards!

"The club has sold more than 3500 tickets for this fixture". A little ambiguous. They will be saying they brought 7,000 and 303!

I remember goin to a Sherpa Van Trophy away game at Crewe the year we beat Torquay in the final (1989), Bolton were losing 1-0 and playing like bastards and the Crewe fans were singing "Going down Going Down" all the way through the match as Bolton were struggling in the lower reaches of the third Division (God we were shite then). Anyway Bolton got back into it and it went in to extra time. Then i think Phil Brown scored a pile driver to make it 2-1. All the away end as one started to sing "the whites are going down the whites are going down were going down to Wembley we going down to Wembley The whites are going down!" It was a great turn around. Great days though we werent the best team in the world.

Yes I have been bored trawling the net and found this. So we helped in a way to get Gretna into the scottish league. By STEPHEN HALLIDAY EVERYTHING else Gretna have achieved in their 60-year history will be eclipsed at Hampden this afternoon, no matter the result of the Scottish Cup final. Yet for those Raydale Park diehards who followed the club long before Brooks Mileson's open chequebook set them on their astonishing current trajectory, a damp November day in Lancashire 13 years ago will always remain their most cherished memory. It was the road to Wembley rather than Hampden which consumed the thoughts of Gretna in 1993. Then playing in the second tier of the Northern Premier League, they had emerged from no fewer than five qualifying ties to reach the first-round proper of the FA Cup. They had been there once before, two seasons earlier when they lost out to fourth division Rochdale in a replay, but this time the draw handed them a far more attractive assignment. They were paired with Bolton Wanderers, then in the first division but who had been the FA Cup's headline-grabbers the previous year with a run to the fifth round which included a famous 2-0 victory at Liverpool - with goals from Scottish strikers John McGinlay and Andy Walker - which signalled the end for Graeme Souness as the manager at Anfield. Gretna came out of the hat first but, in those more austere pre-Mileson times, opted to switch the tie to Bolton's Burnden Park in order to secure themselves a ?20,000 pay day. "The only money the club made back then was from the Gretna Sunday Market in the car park," recalls John Halpin, a member of the team who travelled to Bolton anticipating little more than a welcome break from their usual dreary trips to Northern League rivals such as Congleton Town, Curzon Ash and Bamber Bridge. Halpin, the former Celtic winger, had joined Gretna at the start of the season. Although still just 31 at the time, he had actually retired from football earlier that year after finally giving in to a catalogue of serious injuries which included two broken legs. "I'd just started work as the community officer at Carlisle United when Mick McCartney, the Gretna player-manager at the time and an old mate, asked me if I would be free to play for them at weekends," says Halpin. "Although I was no longer fit enough to play league football, I felt I could still manage at the level Gretna were playing in, so I agreed. "It was like a Scottish junior club, really. It was really well run, the people on the committee were terrific and the club had a great reputation as being one of the friendliest and most hospitable in the Northern League. "When we got through to the Bolton tie, it was all about looking to make a few bob for the club. I know it's an old clich?, but we really did just go down there to enjoy the day out. I think we all expected to get a bit of a doing, because Bolton were a right good side." Instead, Gretna found themselves 2-1 in front after 25 minutes at Burnden Park, a lead they held until 11 minutes from time when Owen Coyle equalised for the shaken Bolton side. When Coyle then headed home McGinlay's cross in the 84th minute, Gretna had lost 3-2 and were robbed of even the replay which was the least they deserved for their heroic efforts. "We were one very relieved team in the dressing room after the game," says Coyle, now player-manager of St Johnstone. "I don't know if we were complacent that day, but Gretna played brilliantly and we were in trouble and certainly pushed the panic button. As it turned out, we went on to have another brilliant run in the FA Cup that season which just shows you the fine line there is between success and failure in cup football." A Bolton side which also featured Alan Stubbs, Jason McAteer and Alan Thompson reached the quarter-finals, defeating the Premiership trio of Everton, Arsenal and Aston Villa on the way before losing to Oldham in the last eight, but found no tie tougher in a memorable campaign than their scare against Gretna. "I remember the Bolton punters were absolutely slaughtering their team," says Halpin. "We were on fire because of the occasion it was for us, while I think the Bolton lads maybe thought we would be an easy touch. For about an hour, we just couldn't do anything wrong and they could hardly do a thing right." Derek Townsley, in his first spell at Gretna, had put them in front after 11 minutes when he capitalised on a mistake by Stubbs. While the lead was cancelled out just three minutes later when McGinlay converted a penalty won by Coyle, Gretna were by far the better side and deserved to go back in front through Mark Dobie. Bruce Rioch, the Bolton manager, was a desperately unhappy man as he stomped up and down the touchline, facing the prospect of elimination from the FA Cup by a little-known team from the country he once captained. In his programme notes, the former Scotland captain had warned his players that they should expect the unexpected, but added: "The fact is that, if we play to our maximum we expect to beat Gretna." It didn't quite work out that way. "Bruce certainly didn't mince his words at half-time," says Coyle. "We were looking at being on the wrong end of one of the biggest shocks in FA Cup history. We had been used to being the giant-killers ourselves and it was a horrible feeling to suddenly be experiencing the other side of it." Ultimately, full-time fitness told in Bolton's favour. Halpin, who had rolled back the years with a vintage display on the left wing which terrorised his close friend, Bolton right-back Phil Brown, was among those who flagged in the closing stages. "The old legs just petered out," he said, "and it was the same for most of the lads. We only trained two nights a week and we just ran out of gas on a heavy pitch. Fair play to Bolton, they got the job done, but we gave them a hell of a fright." The proceeds of the tie went to improvements on Raydale Park and Gretna's first application to join the Scottish League later that season. They lost out to Ross County and Inverness Caledonian Thistle, and missed out again in 1999 before finally relocating to their own country's league in 2002.

Rabatnicki was another good one. Me and Browny were so pissed we went in the wrong end but no one bothered us. Infact we went on the piss with some Macedonians after the match who took us round some locals bars. Put this to bed now ,Portsmouth reckon they took 3000 because the right hand corner of the stand (as you look to the pitch) was empty (ofcourse the TV never showed that). And Portsmouth do keep going on that they are the best fans in the world! fcuk em!
