Obviously Megson is to blame for the falling attendances at all the other 91 teams to.

whats price got to do with it

 

you quoted a failure to try to win cups

riga and helgusson replaced nolan and davies

 

other than that, nobody - not even a retard - could argue with the team

 

success is being in the premier league

sorry mate thats bullshit, playing to finish in mid table or surviving is success?, i am sick and fucking tired of the shite i watch week in week out, i go to football for the buzz to see my team win (or lose trying) i wanna go to wembley its fucking brilliant a fantastic day out you should try it!!!

i even wanna go to doncaster in the cup again that was good too, a real football day out, i dont go to have some over paid fucking loser shout abuse at me cause i aint singing his fucking name!!!

I have been a BWFC fan since 1968 so i have seen some shite but i aint ever had people trying to tell me that this is all i have to look forward to cause we are little old bolton.

If you are happy to just say "ooooooh we are in the premiership" then stay at home and watch the results on teletext, you will get the same satisfaction.

Footballers & managers are paid a lot of money to entertain me as a fan if they dont do it (or at least seem to be trying to) they are gonna get told so.

If i hear the comment "entertainment doesnt matter as long as we are in the premier league" one more time i will be arrested for my fucking response!!!

I am not a Megson hater , he is just in a long list of managers so frightened for thier jobs they wont even try to entertain in case we lose.

I am not ashamed to say the next comment so here goes, I love football, i love Bolton Wanderers , but i want them to at least try to win summat, excite me give me the buzz back!!,

and before some muppet says it, cause they arent bright enough to come up with a well thought out response, i aint gonna fuck off to old trafford.

for a club the size of Bolton yes it is.

 

all the players were shite

 

of the 11 megson played yesterday i may have played pea green instead of AOB

 

but the tactics and the 11 players on the pitch are what people wanted 4-4-2 with Gardner in for Muamba.

 

A bloke rang GMR yesterday to complain that megson should play 442, when the galloping chip pointed out we did the bloke seemed lost and then said 'well it's obviously not working then'

 

do you reckon there's a thread on the munchen/Villa boards slating the fans that stick by their managers?

well maybe thats where football has a problem cause it aint enough for me and I suspect, lots of fans of "also ran" football clubs, dont get me wrong i am not expecting us to win a trophy any time soon but i really would just like us to show a little interest in the cups now and again.

I am saddened by the amount of people on here who are willing to just put up with whats being served up by our football club and others.

I know you're only a 30 poster mate but I have to point out that WWays convention dictates that you use the word 'sickened' in cases like this.

 

Mentoring over.

My 5 year old lad asked on the way home from the match why we kept chipping the ball to that tall centre half all game ?

Now, if he can see a one dimensional problem, then why the hell can't the team / management !!!

Agree with most of that & its very childish to tell other fans who have legitimate reservations about the management of BWFC to feck off to OT.

 

I think some objectivity needs to be inserted into the analysis of what went wrong on saturday.

 

First thing to state is that every team has a ramk bad day at least once a season , & we had one on Saturday three clangers in one game takes some beating

 

I think Sunderland had a similar bad one ironically against us earlier in the season.

 

Megson cant be blamed for individual player error, although he would certainly have hauled O'brien off at half time if he had enough confidence in the French guy or Danny Shittu

 

which cllearly he hasnt . So we have two alternative centre-backs whom he has signed that he feels he cannot play ??

 

I agree that we have been far from convincing even when we have managed to win games , Portsmouth game was lthe last time we looked in control & playing well.

 

I also feel that the managers substiitutions on saturday were too negative , taking JLS off & slotting Gardner back to bring on Riga was a neutral change

 

Bringing Muamba on for the injured Davies was a travesty with the team losing , as well as having no forward gear Muamba is clearly lacking in cofidence .

 

So as far as I can see the players performed badly on Saturday & must shoulder the blame & the manager did not make the most of his options on the bench so he had a bad day as well

 

As regards entertainment ...........well forget that , sometimes I speculate what would be better carrying on like we are , pretty poor team in the 'best league in the world' or gettiing

 

relegated , jettisoning the management & maybe getting back to basics & at least trying to play some decent football as we used to do under Rioch & to some extent Todd

 

. the reality is relegation means 10-13 thousand gates ,financial meltdown , & no guarantees that we would bring in the right manager to improve our play.

 

So its the devil you know for now , & we are all in this together so lets get geared up for a battle , appreciate each others differing points of view and support our team to the fecking hilt

 

Cos it does make a difference to the outcome .............C'MON YOU WHITES !!!

 

saturday was one of those diir

for a club the size of Bolton yes it is.

 

This kind of malaise is exactly why we are so poor. Do you think the Belgians, Dutch and Poles thought the same, "Oh well, Germany's bigger than us so we really should know our place!" Did they feck, they may not have been able to prevent the inevitable but they still had some resistance and could still become a complete nuisance, that's what we used to be, smaller yes, but a complete pain in the arse for bigger teams. To keep this analogy going we are now like Vichy France full of sympathisers and collaboraters who are to scared to rock the boat, burying their heads in the sand and hoping everything will turn out OK!!

 

If sport was determined on who is biggest (if you can define it?) then why not just have a 2 day conference in August then publish the league tables for that season, because the competition of a league is obviously not important to most people!!!

 

We don't want to become the next Leeds, Charlton etc etc etc people keep stating, well the way we are going we are just going the long way around to the same place. We may stay up this year & next but its like a death by a thousand cuts, unless something changes at the club we will eventually go down. In the interim will people be happy that we have played such dire football, get knocked out of cups at the first opportunity and generally have very little to define each season by, being led by a man who is the antithesis of charisma and leadership.

 

Surely because we are a smaller team that is exactly why we should be making a fist of it, competing and enjoying ourself because nothing lasts forever.

 

We may not be able to attract the top players but that does not excuse the woefiul effort put in by most of our players week after week, and responsibility for that lands squarely at Megson's feet. And furthermore having such a weak squad and subs bench after 18 months of being in charge is just embarrasing.

 

What really saddens me is my son is just about old enough to start coming to the match, but I really struggle to see what he or me for that matter will get from the experience of watching my beloved team in the 'Greatest League in the World'.

The Premiership is the only place to be as money talks.

 

What pisses me off though, is that outside the top 6 or 7 clubs the rest just serve up shite football. Fair enough against the top clubs its backs-to-the-wall and scrap for what you can get but apart from West Ham (who we somehow beat), I haven't seen any club outside of the top 5 look any better than us this season.

 

The whole standard of The Premiership outside the top few is poor and getting worse.

 

Not sure what can be done about it but after 8+ seasons of watching it, is it too much to ask for the odd game here and there to be going home talking about how good it was and its great entertainment?

REET , CANT BE @RSED TRAWLING THROUGH ALL THE PREVIOUS BUT ON SATURDAY BOLTON WANDERERS WERE AWFUL...FACT

 

AND LETS GO THROUGH THE PREVIOUS GAMES WHILE WE,RE AT IT.

 

STOKE - WE WERE SH1TE

EVERTON - WE WERE SH1TE

WEST HAM - WE GOT AWAY WITH IT (ANYBODY WHO WATCHED THE GAME WILL TELL YOU WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEAT)

NEWCASTLE - WE GOT AWAY WITH IT

BLACKBURN - WE WERE SH1TE (LUCKY TO COME AWAY WITH A POINT)

 

ITS A GOOD JOB BORO AND NEWCASTLE HAVE SUCH TOUGH RUN-INS .

Oh, dear. Problem is, Wayne, Megson says : "?You listen to the reaction of people around here and you would think you had taken over Real Madrid, and there had never been a poor performance,?

 

In other words : you fans stop fecking complaining, you're little old Bowton - get used to the rubbish.

Or : you fans stop fecking complaining, this was a rare bad performance by us.

Not sure which one he means.

 

Certainly hard to interpret it as : Sorry, fans, that was another unacceptable performance. We'll work hard to get it sorted asap.

i totally agree :drinks: frank megson and the boltys of this forum will disagree with any person who has a negative view on the shite that megson is serving up this season, end of the day most of the team aint good enough :good: oh look i said shite again =D>

actually danny if you read osme of the posts on here, people are pointing out that we are nt the only team desperate to survive and hence playing ugly football. so why is megson villified whereas other clubs it is accepted ?

 

actaully given how attendances are dropping maybe other clubs fans are just as fed up as lots of ours.

 

on the whole megson debate, i support bolton wanderers, the manager is almost irrelevant i will be here when he has gone, when all the players have gone.

 

it is amazing how much time and effort goes into people arguing about the rights and wrongs of negson rather than jsut supporting the club and team on the pitch. and that comment is aimed as much as pro megson people as anti megson.

We need a ground full ov Zozzys, not neg heads :good:

 

I must admit, saturday was dreadful, its the worst performance ive seen BWFC play in 10 seasons :angry:

Saturday was crap, very very crap.

 

the shite served up is no worse than at 10-15 other prem grounds at the moment. thats the beast that is football at the moment.

 

Villa Vs Spurs yesterday was proper entertaing football as a neutral with Villa piling wave after wave of attack at the Spurs goal but it got villa fook all points.

 

As for not going at the cups we played our 1st choice 11 against sun'lun fook all good it did us mind you.

We need a ground full ov Zozzys, not neg heads :good:

Bolton played Shit on saturday

And we were Shite against Stoke as well :good:

I agree with plenty others on here; Bolton were shit on Saturday, and at Stoke, and at some other games during this season. And, also like plenty of others, I don't come on here bleating about how it's all Megson's fault and how he should never have got the job in the first place and how if it were up to me he'd be sacked.

 

Listen up you moaning bunch of fucktards. It isn't up to me and it isn't up to you. No amount of crying on here will get rid of a manager who did last year what he was brought in to do; who this season, looking at the table, is doing what he's set out to do; get more points than three other teams. That's the level we're playing at. Sorry to burst a few bubbles but let's get on with supporting OUR team instead of concentrating effort into disliking the manager. He's here for the duration. Live with it!

Bury v Rochdale last Saturday was a real football day out.

 

Real heated local derby, triple the normal Gigg crowd.

 

Shite football like, but hey being a Bolton fan I was used to that!

 

Was a great day that! Been watching Dale a few times this season and enjoyed it, but that was particularly good!! Shame about the result.

i totally agree :drinks: frank megson and the boltys of this forum will disagree with any person who has a negative view on the shite that megson is serving up this season, end of the day most of the team aint good enough :good: oh look i said shite again =D>

 

:rofl: Dear me, sonny, you have an imaginative mind! Suggest you trawl back through my posts on the subject of Mr. Megson and then re think that post. Is the 2 your IQ?
