Oh Jesus. They walk amongst us. I received a video via a group watsapp earlier of Churchill, lions, spitfires, poppies and bulldogs. This was from a grown adult. If I had the technical expertise I'd have sent one back of queues, carry on films, pork pies and gravy.

December in that first season. 4-0 v Rochdale in the cup. McAteer debut goal 4-0 v Burnley. They missed a pen? Played them off the park and Walker & Brown linked up for a great final goal. 5-0 v Bradford. Sent the delusional tw*ts back over the pennines with their arses handed to em. David Lee dragging ex rag Mike Duxbury over by the neck.

I think that was the last season I saw her, Fulham away, and it was clear her health wasn't good. I remember her being presented with an award on the pitch at Burnden in the early, mid 1980s, after she'd seen Wanderers in over 1000 consecutive games including pre season friendlies. God knows how many matches she's racked up in total.

A remarkable woman. I was chuffed to see the club acknowledge her incredible efforts.

Blackburn's keeper guarantees a place in future howler reels. Dreadful error.

Wasn't it Pikeys that set themselves up in Theaxtons a few years back? I'm sure they got a few grand from the owners to go quietly because it was the cheaper option. Good luck to anyone and their mates trying to get physical with a crowd of travellers.

Or just block em?

Can't disagree with any of this. Even the ballboys were feckin shite this evening.

Someone said earlier (desperado?) about some of our imbeciles on social media. Fantastic to have 2 of our players in there and the first comment I saw on X from a Wanderers fan was slagging JDC off. Dick.

Belting day yesterday. Great performance and atmosphere. One of those days that make all the midweek slogs in shite weather absolutely worth it. It's a shame we've fallen short. Pompey are a great yardstick for where we should be and what we should be aiming for ie getting a point when you've been under the cosh. I'm fairly certain we have to do it the hard way now. No one to fear, just our inability to win away games v the top sides but then a draw in the 1st leg will do, if we play as well at home as we did yesterday. KTF

Can't be too disheartened at that. We played well but there's just something minor missing that prevents us from being a top 2 side. Let's get this done via the play offs. We're Bolton. Nothing rarely comes easy.

Worry about the other games after. Just win today then see where it takes us. COYFWM. We've got this.

This post getting a lot of attention.

This.

One of his finest moments, turning on the gutter press.

A few years ago, in between jobs, I worked as a call handler for GMP. Dreadful organisation to work for but the calls could be quite lively and interesting. Of all the calls I took, pretty much every offence had been committed but the most hysterical, upset caller I ever had, was a lass who rang 999 because she'd been excluded from a watsapp group.

Hereford and Bradford PA deserve a mention. Bury were allowed 3.15KOs for their social club that closed at 3pm. Torquay used to KO on Saturday nights at the start and end of the season.

Called at Nkono's on the market today. BBQ chicken, rice, jerk chicken sauce, chickpeas and a sweet bread roll. £8.50. Was feckin superb. The little food court there with other stalls selling juices, cakes, coffees and beer deserves support. I'll be doing my best to get there more frequently.

🤣 that is feckin brilliant!
