Phoenix Club

And what did he actually do as a player? Gave desire but lacked anything else. Legends are names like Lofthouse, Okotcha, Djorkaef, McGinlay etc....not a guy who lacked skill and an eye for goal as a forward.

After 2 adults and 1 child tickets for Saturday....help!!!!!! Drop me a PM to save my bacon. Cheers.

Which website is showing that Horwich?

What's the latest figures on season tickets sold? With the club keeping the match day prices the same, I can't see us selling too many pay on the day tickets for the so called lesser games? Just hope season tickets are a few thousand up on last season otherwise it's plenty of sub 20k crowds again I fear.

I remember standing on the terraces at Burnley when we played them in a pre season friendly in 1993. That was Thommo's first game for us and he scored a scorching left footer straight into the top corner which almost took the net out.

Good call. Monday 16th June infact. http://www.premierleague.com/page/Faqs/0,,12306,00.html

Megson's changed the personnel in there and settled the in one game out the next that Lee was adopting. Natural left midfielder in Taylor, thankfully Speed has gone, Campo back in as defensive midfielder and Guthrie is starting every game. It's a stark contrast from the start of the season. Hopefully Diouf will be pushed into a more forward role (maybe link between midfield and Davis) at the expense of McCann?

Is it just me or, other than a class forward (ideally 2) and a playmaker / central midfielder with energy and a bit of pace, we look like having a healthier 1st eleven than we've had in a few years going into the close season? I remember thinking at the end of the last 2 seasons we had a huge rebuilding job on our hands and we never did it. This time around we have younger and better players in our previous weak positions in Steinssen, Cahill, Taylor and maybe Guthrie. No summer uncertainty over Anelka too. We just have to worry about Diouf going but with Taylor wide left it still just leaves us needing 2 out and out forwards and a class central midfielder. Course, if Diouf stays then great but it won't be panic stations if he did like Anelka was. Jussi - if he goes then we have Al Habsi. Personally, I feel Megson has identified and bought in most of the areas were both BSA and LSL didn't see we were weak or didn't have the funds to rebuild. YES, for one reason or another, we didn't get the forward we craved but providing we stay up that will definitely be addressed in the close season. We were a forward and maybe a good midfielder away from it being a cracking January of transfers in for us. Overall I think it was an above average to good January for us and we definitely have a lot stronger defence and more balanced midfield. Get me a season ticket in the North Stand for the 08/09 Premier League season. C'mon you white men

Not forgetting Barnsley....just like watching Brazil!

I can just picture all 4,000+ of us in it........ http://www.allianz-arena.de/en/aktuell/webcam/

An excellent read and reflects everything that all of us on here have said in the days leading up to Megson's appointment and what we are now thinking. If outsiders can hit the nail on the head then why can't Phil "let me press the destruct button" Gartside?! http://www.sportinglife.com/fanzine/story_...ual_145622.html

Totally agree. Though I don't rate the guy and I'm 200% behind all of you who don't want him in, you can't blame him for taking the job. My vengence will be directed towards those fookers in the directors box and them only. I will only question Megson on what he has done on the pitch i.e. the results we get between now and early January. Gartside's going to need a police escort coming into the ground tonight!

Fingers crossed

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/e...rem/7058362.stm Leicester manager Gary Megson is the front-runner to become the new Bolton manager, BBC Sport understands. Graeme Souness was interviewed for the post last week but Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has confirmed the Scot is not interested in succeeding Sammy Lee. Now Gartside looks set to turn to Megson and he is believed to be prepared to pay ?300,000 to get him. More soon.

That's more than likely because of tomorrow's game. Had we not been playing tomorrow then some of the squad players would have had a runout.
