    we needed a point, we went tally fucking gong ho for a winner and left ourselves wide open. school boy stuff as usual. very very stupid. shit or bust against a team with spurs attacking speed. hey why did that not work duuuurrrrrrr. i`m not saying more as it isn`t positive
  2. down because we`re rubbish and thats the first time I`ve actually thought we were going to drop in my whole life
  3. this made me chuckle off the villa thread..... I can't stand McLeish. Although, tbf, he does bring some benefits: - parking was pretty easy tonight - short queues for food etc. - no wait for the loos - easy to get away after the match Although I am not sure these outweigh the complete and utter dogsh*t that he keeps turning out on the pitch.
  4. not sure what you mean there? who was responsible for it? anyone can steer the ship when the water is calm. i think we are agreeing but even if you`re not agreeing with me then i`m agreeing with you. not his fault sturridge went, not his fault elmander went. the rest is clearly down to the Manager. This is his side now and it isn`t very good. Reverting to SKD up front was pretty much admiting his changes havent worked.
  5. according to the BEN last week the average age of the Magson team was 27 and the average age of this team is 27
  6. Hes a competent ex-player and therefore he knows more about the ins and outs of professional footballer than anyone on here in my eyes. When someone such as him keeps questioning the tactics and the selections then that says to me that somethings not right. take a step back. look at the bigger picture we were bombing along just over 12 months ago. the collapse has come along since OC introduced his own players into the squad and put the old squad players into the back ground. yes, he has had some bad luck with CYL and Holden but his failure to play Muamba was his own doing. he has bought poorly, his selections are baffling he doesn`t seem to have anything other than enthusiasm I`ve never felt we would go down, not even the year that megson saved us (god knows how he did) I`ve always felt we had enough quality within the squad to see it through but not this year, we will drop because we aren`t good enough its a real shame, hopefully its not the end of an era but it just could be :-(
  7. ive watched that clip 3 times now. for the love of god, what are those 2 defenders doing? did they run with him to get a better view of his shot? nice enough finish though which is a start
  8. has this been posted? http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/9648907.Can_Coyle_s_Whites_emulate_class_of_2008_in_survival_bid_/ rather generous ratings for the 2012 batch methinks
  9. point of order Mr Chairman. `exceptional` and NRC used in the same sentence. Inexcusable!
  10. They hadn`t won for 6 games, we were weak as piss, allowed them to play. lets be honest, we were hanging on in the style of a non-league team. Our team has no strength at all. We have players who get blown off the ball by a stiff breeze. Men against boys. If this is the `new` BWFC then we will be going down soon. I said it before and I`ll say it again. Theres a distinct whiff of the Colin Todd era in this squad. Lovely blokes, good honest grafters but JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH
  11. hmmm. not defending him at all but he said he was pissed and just blurted (typed) something out and then got involved in a slagging match with people who replied. whilst its thoroughly unpleasant it does seem a tad excessive. Truth is that people are indifferent to serious injury/death unless they are directly involved. How many people watched Sadam Hussein being hung or Ken Bigley having his bonce chopped off? just type `escapes jail` into google and see all the people who got off for crazy things. exhibit A http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/2012/03/09/falkirk-mp-eric-joyce-escapes-jail-sentence-after-admitting-house-of-commons-assault-86908-23781259/
  12. ignore this post, my sarcasm overdrive kicked in but this isnt the appropriate thread. go fab go, he`ll be up and about by next Monday
  13. `Footballer Fabrice Muamba is taking his first steps to recovery after suffering a cardiac arrest at the weekend, his manager has said. The 23-year-old remains in intensive care at the London Chest Hospital after collapsing during an FA Cup match on Saturday. Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle said he had spoken directly to the midfielder, whom he described as a "fighter", as he continues to show signs of recovery.` MSN just now
  14. you look at that picture from his prime and you just knew he was destined to be a fat cunt
  15. like most, im having real trouble concentrating on anything else. good job my boss is busy, ive done fack all today come on lad, keep fighting
  16. i remember that game vividly. i can still picture all the medics on the pitch and the snow pelting down like it used to, not like this modern snow. i don`t think we should pull out of a replay. I can`t for one minute believe that whatever happens to our fab he would want that to happen. i guess the only reason that it may happen is if there is a fixed timescale and we can`t get it scheduled within it due to ongoing events? fingers crossed he`s sat up in his bed by the end of the week anyway
  17. lets hope he`s reading through this thread in a few days with a big cheesy grin. c`mon fabrice lad.
  18. very sad weekend, who could ever believe what would happen. no consolation as he was only 59 but what a way to go, seeing your son lift the cup. he must have been bursting with pride when it happened

    but surely if Klasnic had all of these plus Ngogs energy and strength then Klasnic would be Didier Drogba
  20. 1-1 draw, knock em out at our place, `Arry realises he`s shot his bolt and his over achievers are falling apart, takes the England job before the end of March. Its nailed on.
  21. derek smalls replied to Walkden26's topic in Terrace Talk
    but surely..if ngog had excellent ability to read the game, was good in his positional play and could score he would actually be didier drogba and not david ngog
  22. no. we`ve already played those teams, thats our saving grace and its not really a saving grace its just a statement of fact
  23. derek smalls replied to anewman's topic in Terrace Talk
    can`t they just pipe it straight in from Wetherspoons? Connect a fan at one end like?
  24. wot you said. watching that in real time it went like a bullet, no wonder the linesman never saw it. unbelievable save AND he was clearly being fouled like feck at the time which Sky didn`t bother mentioning.
  25. remember megson, remember the uefa cup. remember the wiggin game. setting out to lose is not a good idea.
