might have a good chance of getting a ticket for blackpoo now

y`know what, the mist is beginning to clear now for me. i feel actually worse right now than I did when I leapt out of my seat when number 4 went in but I`m feeling kind of galvanised now after reading through various posts. we`re all in it together, its our team. i suppose as a player you would feel absolutely humiliated after that, who wants that on their CV? you can super analyse it to death but you need a sequence of unfortunate events for a result like that. i mean take the first goal, you need robbo to try and pass his way out of central defence which he never normally does from there, then you need etherington to make that split second decision to swing a boot at it, then it has to go right in the corner to beat jussi. all that in a heartbeat and its 1-0 everyone shits their pants and it rapidly goes downhill. im gutted, absolutely gutted but at least we were there COYWM

bit harsh to blame robinson and steinsson. the decision to `rest` robinson for weeks didnt do him any favours and steinsson was no worse than others. we lost the match as soon as holden got injured, im sure of that. without him we lack teeth. the decision to start with klasnic up front and elmander in the middle was a big mistake too. as for petrov, they should send him home now and forward the contents of his locker to him, i`ve seldom seen a poorer performance. a so called big name player like him should be rising to the occasion for a game like that. he looked like a rabbit caught in headlights. shocking, shocking, shocking. had mark davies started then we would have had a better chance. he was the only player who actually got the ball and ran with it at any time. how do you explain that result to your 8 yr old lad? gutted! edit to agree:- cahill was a big disappointment, you expect your big players to rise up and lead from the front. no sign of that from our so called `star players`

for every moron from bolton there were 10 from stoke. i took my lad down yesterday (8 yrs old) and hes not daft, im sure he knows every swear word in the book but i was wincing at some of the behaviour of stokies at the services on the way down. as for our lot, it was just the retarded brigade as usual causing all the trouble. i would bet the in-fighting was caused by someone telling a beered up nob to pipe down and getting a belt for their troubles. my old ma and pa are in their late 70`s and wouldnt even contemplate a journey down with the travel club after the last time when the old boy had his hair ruffled by some asswipe so drunk he could barely stand up. but are ours any worse than elsewhere? no

cheers for the pic barry. all I needed was a barcode number to stick on my forged tickets and thats me in for nowt and you sat outside

oh come on, please! you might not like the ginger one but even his biggest enemy would have to give us some credit for keeping us up first time around (i`ve bitten on this one again damn it!)

just showing my sensitive, caring side like.....anyone read what happened to the old dear who collapsed in the stoke end? she looked like she was in a bad way

Well i came out of the west lower with my 8yr old lad just before final whistle and walked round past the stoke end. by the time i got round to that wall bit the rozzers had blocked the whole carpark off and wouldnt let me through even though I was stood there saying `ey oop` and waving a BWFC members card and ticket at them. They sent me back into the middle of the Stoke fans who were pouring out. How ridiculous is that!!

funnily enough i was trying to do that but i couldnt figure out how to upload it. a fit torres is better than davies. an injured torres is as effective as me upfront

ooooooh pablo you big tease, this is your dream thread. actually kevin davies doesnt play for blackburn and if he did i wouldnt give a flying feck and this thread wouldnt exist so amongst all the tosh you`ve been posting that is irrelevant. also, the aim is to win next week. its a load of bollocks to suggest that we should be trialling kids because thats how you end up not qualifying. we might not be one of the worlds greatest national sides but every result is scrutinised. if we win then nothing further will be said on the subject. if we lose it`ll because capello is an italian arsehole picking donkeys who are past their best interesting that you`d rather have `spotty` torres on the bench than SKD on the pitch

Well you want a blend of old and new don`t you? Agreed entirely that no previous manager had the bollocks to call him up but at 33 hes hardly past it. If they want a plan B then Davies is a plan B. Also, as he has a wealth of experience and has played against all the Premier League top players he won`t need much in the way of a settling in period. What will be interesting is if he ends up pulling splinters out of his arse. now that would be pointless!

emile heskey is, was and always will be a poor mans kevin davies. yes its 6 yrs overdue, yes its pointles, yes it could be construed as a backwards step but im chuffed as fcuk about it. that lad WILL NOT let anybody down and will not be found wanting. if capello wants a target man then davies is as good as it gets. potential is all well and good but you can`t have a team full of `potential`. you do need someone with big bollocks and a kick like a mule too. enter SKD. I always remember FSA saying that nothing gave him greater satisfaction than seeing the look on defenders faces when they`d spent 90 minutes trying to mark Kevin Davies. hurrah

If anyone lives in the area and has a kid interested in signing up for next seasons under 8`s team then get in touch with the club. They only have about 5 or 6 players so far and it wont happen unless they find another 4 kids at least. Don`t contact me, I`m just the messenger http://www.clubwebsite.co.uk/cmbfc/

erm yes he is as bad as he`s made out. he`s not worth a carrot for me. people keep banging on about his sweden performances and that goal he scored a few months ago but jesus he had time to comb his hair before he took a shot which for me sums the bloke up. his mind and body are not quick enough for premier league standards and thats that. hes a lovely lad and i don`t doubt his commitment but he`s a bit part player for us. as for the davies comparison, i`d take a team with 10 kevin davies any day but a team with 10 elmanders? fuckaduck, it wouldnt bear thinking about. oh aye! and the other thing, diouf was toss at liverpool so they got rid of him, not sure what thats got to do with owt

it is a bit of a joke. ive been watching bwfc for 35 years but somehow found myself to not be on the recent database due to other people buying tickets for me on a lads day out, paying cash at the ticket office, getting freebies, etc and as 1/4 of the united end was empty i dont really understand the need to `keep them out of our end` strange

its nowt to do with his not scoring goals, its his shit passing, his fanny footed tackling and his nicey attitude that gets me. if they awarded goals for being nice he`d be a world beater but they dont and he`s not. wasn`t overly impressed with that mid week goal really either. it landed straight at him, unmarked. nice enough finish but you wouldn`t find that much room in the prem

aye but rumours also abound that he was in manchester shaggin anything with a pulse while she was stuck in london with the bairn. i dont think she`s that fit actually. pretty face but nay paps and big hips, probably stinks of onions. end of the day the problem is with his ego which will be the size of a corner shop due to his overpaid profession

im confused? didn`t this squad finish comfortably in mid table last season? or was that a different bolton wanderers?

i think we`ll win at spurs. life has a habit of throwing up the unexpected and i can see OC in a morale dilemna with strange parallels to the UEFA cup run under Megson. should i play the best team or save them for a relegation battle?

i thought muamba had an excellent game on sunday, he just can`t shoot for toffee but other than that he`s not playing badly if you`re listing players in order of shitness, he`s down the bottom of the list for my money

agreed, he had to go and it was sad it came to that. i`m puzzled as to who it was who miraculously kept us up 2 yrs ago and then had us in mid table the following year???? could it be the man who was clearly out of his depth in the premier league, who has ruined our club and bought a load of championship dross? its also amusing that all those people who hounded him out are now the same ones telling us all to `look forward` and `stop shit stirring` isnt it

i agree 100% with this post and thats the problem. We`re all bored shitless with it all because theres nothing to look forward to. a damn good relegating is the only thing that will brighten things up (for a couple of years) personally i was never happier than punching way above our weight under bruce rioch for bwfc under m*****n or coyle read charlton under curbishley

it was indeed young man, it was indeed. he held his man off and headed it down very deftly (davisesque ) roberts wasnt offside but diouff(?) was a mile off and stood right next to him in jussi`s line. i know the rule is open to interpretation but he`s 1 yard away and jumping up and down so he`s hardly not involved

hmm, actually after watching MOTD, their first goal was deflected, the 2nd was a howler of a clearance from gardener leading to a clearly offside goal and CYL should have done better with that chance (from a lovely davies pass)

elmander would not have scored that goal in 10 attempts goals win games, not passes
