Boltimore

Wiping the smile of Hughes' face is always rewarding.

At one point we were 2-0 down to WBA in the play offs and it was a shit feeling.

He was top draw. When there were rumours he was leaving, I remember playing Blackpool at home (3-0 I think) and the Burnden terrace was singing to the tune of KWS, 'Please don't go, please don't go, we love you so.....!!!

I cried on my snooker table. Cloth was ruined.

Joking aside I echo that although not marriages, 3 long term girlfriends. Most memorable was the play off final in 2001, when had to make her wait until after the final before we could go on holiday. She wanted 2 weeks which covered the final but I managed to persuade her 10 days and a ticket for the final. Anyway went on holiday after the bank holiday Monday and when we got back she said its over because I chose Boton even when she was sobbing about wanting to go for two weeks. I have not learnt from that episode.

Hamstring

As you know there are 4 turnstiles. Which one should I go in? I never go in 2 because means nothing to me. I sometimes go in 1 thinking we are number 1 and that's better than being number 2? I sometimes go in number 3 thinking it will give us 3 points? I sometimes go in number 4 thinking we will finish 4th from bottom? On the basis that we have not been relegated for over 10 years I'm thinking number 4 is the way forward. Football is mental!!

BEN now suggesting he will feature tomorrow due to NRC being out. He is not a centre mid but I guess Vela will play and CYL might be on the bench??

I saw David Reeves with TK under the stand and he has just not aged.

Someone must have had a word because in his Sky interview he said, ''he gave them an almighty blast'' at half time. Maybe that's what keeps Eagles hair stuck to his head!!

We went through this in 2002, 2003 and 2008. In 2008, we were 4 points adrift with 5 games to go and got 11 points out of 15 to stay up. It will feel brilliant like it did then. I will be gutted if we get relegated.

As we know Wigan and Wolves survived and Birmingham went. Villa are our hope with AM in charge!!

I will be there having a pint or two!!

There has just been a tweet from his account showing a picture of him in hospital smiling!!

Well said mate. I have a four minute video of Junior lad which I will keep for you nevertheless. I phoned my mate from Newcastle and Zico trying to find out some information because it was so difficult to know what was going on. Initially I thought Boyata was down then worked out it was Muamba. I then thought 'oh bollocks not another serious injury' and it was only when the ground went slient and Coyle ran on the pitch that it was clear something was not right. Hoping he pulls through. COYWM

Sunday to Tuesday. Mental.

I was in the upper tier which was pretty empty I might add and I'm sure half of them were not Bolton fans. I guess it was an easy game to get a ticket if you were a foreigner wanting to watch Chelsea!!

They need to stop using screws from Focus at Middlebrook.

Tuncay to start on Saturday then!!!

He goes on to say,' especially in shorts, I'm wearing a suit for QPR'.

Has this been aired on GMR yet? amazed than none of the interviewers asked him about formation etc - need paxman doing the interview next time

I think he is included along with Blake!!!!!!

If you want the ball in row Z then Wheater is the man although he did slice one over the bar! We can't afford to fanny about at the back so Wheater does that job well. Knight just passes to them!
