I’m going to bed earlier and earlier each night and haven’t been to the gym in 2 weeks. 

Swear it’s taking over my life this shit. 

I think as far back to being on holiday in April and being glued to my phone then next to a hotel pool refreshing it waiting for news from court.

It's been like that almost daily since and no exaggeration. All day, every day hitting refresh, often because we've rarely gone a day without something happening. Fretting, worrying, unable to believe what's happened next.

It's made me ill, angry and tired this for months. I want a final outcome soon, and I'm never going to get like this again one way or the other over this.

I'm actually addicted to WW at moment. Will have to go cold turkey when this shit show finally ends

Same here. Doesn’t help that the Mrs is exactly the same. Honestly affected both of our moods for months on end. Fuck knows how it must feel to be on the inside of it all.

I hope you type all this shit on a proper keyboard. If you do it on a phone, you need to see a doctor. 

I reckon:

Omg just had a horrific thought, what if bassani wasn't bullshiting yesterday. My blood just ran cold :lol:. 

I may have missed this during the course of this ever meandering shit show but have any of our esteemed journos contacted David Sullivan to try & verify his alleged support of Bassini?

Even a couple of months ago I thought we'd have a scarred fanbase for years after this, that was before we turned into the full on Bassini circus.

If we do survive I feel sorry for next few generations of fans who'll have to listen to us moaning on about this while they're trying to enjoy watching their team.

You mustn't have kids if you think the younger generation will be listening to a word us older fuckers will be moaning on about!

I can only go off going through 3 relegations recently and hearing my older mates keep saying it's not as bad as the 80s.

I'm not inflicting this on any child haha

That’s a very good question. Has anyone on here who’s on Twitter asked him/them via that route? I’m not on Twitter

Much much worse than any decade including the eighties .Never thought I'd say that ......

I have been supporting us for 52 years and I can say without doubt this is the worst time ever I just want this to end.

This is miles worse than the 80s.

This is totally fucked up..

Pushing me to the limit..

I used to be the one saying "it'll be reet" to my younger "trotter" mates...

 

What’s worse about now is that we are rudderless, back then we had Bolton directors, Alf Davies,  Nat Lofthouse to rally the town and the club, now is just a big void, we need someone to step up and help fill that void, who I don’t know but hopefully that person/persons will arrive in our hour of need. (Please no one mention LB)

Agreed, never crossed my mind that we’d ever be going through this and was never worried about  it in the 80’s

Who’s that? Just googled him, David Sullivan’s son.

The very worst part of all this for me - and clearly there are endless amounts to choose from - is the pity.

Everyone you meet who supports another club just looks at you like you’re about to switch off the life support of a close relative.

Fuck that. I hate that.

This needs sorting by the end of next week or we die with a whimper and we’re so much better than that.

Take your pity elsewhere, patronising cunts.

<drops wine glass>

 

Still not the end of the bad news this...
