Wanderers Ways. Neil Thompson 1961-2021

This season was the first time I'd watched Bolton at Gigg Lane. I did go once when, following an appeal on Soccer AM, all the family went. Cunts sang "We only hate Bolton Wanderers!" almost all game.

Maybe it's an age thing. When I started going to the match we weren't playing Blackburn Wigan or DMB's and bury were the ones I and my mates got excited about.

That's where I am with Blackburn.Childhood memories are of them bring shite followings to Burnden and then we didn't play them for 12 years 1983-95.By the time we renewed acquaintances they were throwing more money at Alan Shearer than Man Utd could afford and were more of a rich mans plaything than a football club.
I've never felt any dislike to them and would prefer Wigan, Wolves and Forest to go down than Blackburn this season.
Bury certainly got under my skin circa 1985 -1992 when they regularly hammered us at Burnden, but these days i quite like them and enjoy the derby with them, a bit like my fondness of playing Burnley.I watch these matches thinking " we are bigger than you and in the long run will be better than you"
 
Im not sure why because they never hamnmered us regularly like Bury did  and have a shite following but Wigan are our smaller neighbours I dislike most.Even in the late 90s I wanted City to beat them in the 3rd Division play offs.

When Burnley were relegated from (the old) First Division, we played them in an Anglo-Scottish Cup game at Turf Moor. For that game they'll always remain in my list of most hated clubs.

I don't actually hate anyone or even care about anyone's results to be honest. I've wasted enough energy on us over the years.

 

Be nice to Wigan and Blackburn relegated because they quaffed at us but I won't lose any sleep over them not doing.

 

Peace out bro.

Tranmere didn't even show on my list as a youth. They were just a team that seemed to play all their home games on Friday nights to try and get a few scousers popping through the tunnel and boosting their crowds.

I had my head kicked in by some Blackburn fans in Darwen when I was about 17/18 years old  -  for that reason alone they are #1 on my list

 

Tranmere come in 2nd for some reason, with Wigan closely bringing up the rear.

 

Bury, like Man Utd, barely register with me these days

Posted

Tranmere only began to register in 1987 when they received a points deduction from the football league for postponing a match against Bolton with some shite about not being able to pay the police bill when it was a bad time for them with injuries.

Tranmere are in a league of their own. Non-league cunts.

 

 

second now, which is bad news, and over 4k on

 

lively fixture coming up saturday v wrexham

Utd, Blackburn, Wigan, Bury and Tranmere are the only teams I enjoy seeing struggle. I don't mind City or Burnley. Wolves and Stoke are tossers but I can't get worked up about them

Posted

DMBs

Wigan

Blackburn

Blackpool

Bury 

Burnley

 

Wigan would never have been 2nd ten years ago. Wolves and Tranmere were rivalries that would always fade for me. 

Quite like Preston and Rochdale. No thoughts either way on Oldham. Can't stand Blackpool who haven't been mentioned too much in this thread.
