i thought it was a good goal,very quick incisive break.

if he doesn't come out anelka shoots past him from 10yds,every keeper in that situation will try to close the angle

at half time we'd had 59% and after 30 mins we'd had 69%. i guess at 3-0 down at home you'd expect bolton to come out a bit more.

Add in the fact we're missing a few players. so were they mind

leicester 3-1.....94ish

ssn pics of allardyce sending the players to applaud the fans

sibbers gets one back for wigan

shame

didn't resalise he was playing 2nd half

4-5-1 my guess. let smith and milner push on in support

no not solano,he disappears away from home as it is. the problem is not holding it upfront,it's just coming straight back

probably just seeing how far he can go with a tag.

But not as much as that fucker Lawrenson disagree, thompson really does have a chip on his shoulder about us - honourary mackem perhaps? thompson,marsh.lawrenson and even le tiss and merson when he's on. backlash from the entertainers days i'm afraid

up to 38% now

virgin media football thingy has us as having 57% of the play in the first half,not bad for the away team........at one stage it was as high as 70%.

this thread is about up to the minute info etc. what in your sentence wouldn't we have known in june ?

played ok,very good at reading the game and coming out quick to cut down angles/go down at forwards feet

lets only get carried away a little,i've a feeling bolton could really struggle this season.

if we brought him in shola would be on his way out. good move

Enrique do? Nah, mentioned him already. We could do with another versatile defender.. another versatile defender......who else plays for real versatile ?

this is NUFC we are talking about,I have no doubt theres a good 30% of our fans who would settle for a point right now.

tranmere beating leeds and sheff utd 3-0 down at ipswich YORKSHIRE YORKSHIRE my bad...sheff wed down 3-0 at ipswich

I hope you're right mate, if we're lucky all of the build up to Allardyce returning will put a bit of pressure on them, I think he may go 4-5-1 and play them at there own game trying to win by the odd goal, he did say when we go away from home that we had to try and make it hard for them to break us down. I think he might put Smith in midfield to make it hard for their CM's to dwell on the ball too long, Id stick Martins and Dyer wide of Viduka too so we can hit them on the counter attack. bolton have played 4-4-2 all pre-season according to the press.i think we'll do the same,possibly with smith playing to the left to add a physical presence in front of n'zogbia. butt,geremi in the middle with milner to the right.

I'm totally at a loss how you can come to the conclusion that "The only people who come out of this looking bad are once again West Ham." We set the original price and then just as Dire's about to put pen to paper, we lumped another £2 million on his price. IMO this makes NUFC look totally unprofessional. If, as has been reported, West Ham were gloating about getting Dire on the cheap, so f****** what? We set the original price, from our perspective Dire's damaged goods, £6 million was a good price and now we're lumbered with the spoilt f****** brat who'll be loathe to pick his feet up for us this season. Signs point to West Ham being up to something untoward imo, especially in the light of Magnusson having to retract comments he'd previously made to the press. How ? If you agree a fee, that is it. apparently not

i wouldn't like that for us so i'd be quite happy for them to have it.
