  1. How low must you be to have to commit suicide? - it must be grimmer than grim if that's what somebody thinks is the only way out.
  2. I got a track day at Silverstone, it was excellent
  3. This, with great big bells on! If/when we get a new CB, it'll be Wheater thats dropped, Knight will still be in the team. In order for Knight to be dropped, we would have to sign two CBs Having said that, I'm not sure what Mills has done to upset Dougie (unless he's injured) - I would certainly be giving him a game alongside Knight next time out, as the Knight/Wheater partnership doesn't seem to be working
  4. So Youri, you reckon that if they've mastered travel at speeds greater than the speed of life that they wouldn't just come here and make some crop circles for a laugh? - or "beam up" hillbillys in Arkansas just to anally probe them? Perhaps those that visit us are the alien equivalent of teenage joyriders.
  5. yes, the prongs are god for the jabbing motion required to get into the eye socket, and then the spoon bit is the perfect shape for getting aroudf the back of the eye
  6. because 1/3 of me is Asian
  7. I've read it twice, it still confuses the fuckery out of me
  8. talking of which, this always blows my mind.... .....plonk
  9. Fucking Hell Jules, we're not in France you know...there are rules!
  10. he's just asking for it looking like that isn't he.
  11. He strikes me as the sort who would have a fungal foot infection anyway, so probably best he doesn't sport a flip-flop
  12. I came to this conclusion myself over the weekend. We're certainly not going daft with transfer fees, and without doubt our wage bill will be a lot lower this season than last, and next seasons will probably be even lower still as we get some of the higher earners off the books. I'm probably wrong, but it looks to me as though we are properly building for the future now and we're not going for a "quick fix" - even if that means staying in this division for another couple of seasons. I'm sure we're still going to give it a push for promotion, we'll just have to do it within our means now which you would imagine will not be quite enough. It's probably the sensible thing to do, but I would still rather we had splashed a bit of cash (that we don't have...) in order to give it a real go this season whilst we still have a bit of parachute money coming in
  13. I'm not sure my year has ever had one. If they did have one, I wouldn't go, I would rather borrow DazBobs spork..... Presumably folk only attend these things so that they can play "one upmanship" with people who they've not seen for the last 25 or so years.
  14. Natalie Gulbis was always a favourite as well...
  15. A few who drink around here: Jaffa: Called this because he once had a "pint bet" that he could eat 3 oranges in 15 minutes - which he did, skin and all Scary Eyes: The fucker never ever seems to blink, scary as fuck when you're talking to him Smell: He fucking stinks, even his brother calls him "Smell" - I don't know what his real name is Bolton: That's me Geordie Dave: David from Newcastle Dave Geordie: not to be confused with the above, this is David from Gateshead

    Crowds

    I suppose you're correct, I just can't think of the reasons why our crowds are so low. Perhaps it's the age old thing of "apathy" from the folk of Bolton towards the team - and if that is the case, then there is very little we can do to reverse it, in the short term, I think
  17. Whoooaah there. What the fuck is wrong with a flip flop? - can't beat a nice pair of havaianas
  18. It's not overly bad stuff, but I'm not sure why people rave on about it as though it's the finest food ever created. It's pretty much just gruel isn't it? - It's the sort of thing I would imagine prisoners of war had to live on
  19. Is that Michelle WIe bird still playing? - she is/was fit

    Crowds

    Our low attendances are down to more than just the cost. If the tickets for home games were only £10, then we still wouldn't get much bigger crowds than we have now, we would probably just get a shortfall on current revenue. It's not just a Bolton Wanderers problem this, but clubs all over the country are seeing the same thing and that's why we see more and more community based projects happening. It's all about getting "fans" hooked at an early age. An entire generation was lost in the 80's, and this has a knock on effect for a long time afterwards as the people who didn't go in the 80s may not be inclined to go now, or even worse take their kids along now. Our youth support has improved over recent years so hopefully that will lead to further increase in the core support in decades to come. There is no quick fix. As for "floating fans" is there really such a thing? - if there is, then why would they pay £10/£15 to come and watch Bolton (who, lets be fair are shit) when they could watch Chelsea/Arsenal/Man Utd etc in a pub free of charge and have a couple of beers?
  21. I've got a knackered old pair of Gazelle that live next to the door just in case I need to pop out, never owned a pair of crocs
