You're not far off the mark to be honest. They have the kernel of a really good team

Comfortable boots

Parker hangelaand. he he

He clearly is. But he's a level below Messi and the other Ronaldo for me - who are the 2 best players I've seen in my life. I put him on the same level as Xavi and Iniesta tbh. Not bad then

Suffers from the doesn't have a natural position syndrome. That's what i like most about him

I wasn't having a go at you, I was explaining why I didn't agree with what you'd posted. I know - just being a semi beered up internet pedant. Nothing personal

We'll get back to putting some points on the board. Yeah reet

Transfer tug of war as well.....

I forgot about Ba, you're right he should get that one if it's true that he was the one who wanted him. Apparently he spoek to his mates at West Ham and heard enough to decide he should go for him. Glad we did

He didn't mention "currently" or I would have agreed. Sorry about that I'll be less ambiguous from now on. I thought it was a given that I was unable to see into the future though. (It falls away and we finish 12th btw

Left wing back

struggling

Often has games like that when strugling for fitness

I agree

I love it when people try to use agenda to put people down. As for us having our best season in 6 years, we'll have to wait until May before we know if that's true or not. Hence the phrase 'having' not had. I'm not putting you down for having an agenda -rather saying that there is some pretty stark evidence that you have conveniently ignored that completely nullifies your point.

Financially yes - but that is not the only criteria used to judge the worth of a club is it? Attendance is relevant to many people, myself included. It's the lifeblood of the game. Merchandise may be important in some ways but you can't fill a stadium with Lofty the Lion replicas can you Apart from attendance, in which I believe we're something like 25-26th in England, Bolton are historically one of the top 20 teams in the country (perhaps not this season!), in terms of time in the top flight, points in the top flight, trophies won, etc. Check the facts if you don't believe me. Hence, people saying that they don't deserve to be in the Premiership because they've got a load of gloryhunters in their area is a bit silly. Can't wait to line up agianst Royal Engineers next season

yip

Tactically he may think WBA are a better team for HBA to play against. I've no idea but he is revered by players past and prsent for being so meticulous. He's earned some trust from me and though i'm frustrated by today we have had an amazing season, then played 3 top teams (good and unlucky at City, great performance at Man U, unlucky with Luiz and injuries against Chelsea) and lost to Norwich whilst playing ok and being fatally flawed by lack of CB's. Today for me is the first real disappointment and we've got the kind of result and performance that sometimes happens when a team comes to park the bus. The same result the mighty Liverpool got against this team. I'm inclined to chill the f*** out for now and enjoy my football. If we lose a few more and don't play well i can do disgruntled with the best of em. Now isn't the time for me. For all i agree with your points about our form and performance's you bare little light on your actual opinion on Ben Arfa not being in the team. He should be starting most games. Simple really. I don't know why he's not in the team. I'd like him to be, believe me I'd like noithing more and I'm worried about why he's not. But I'm heartened by the fact that we have a manager who i've learned to trust (for now) and am not party to what goes on at the club. I'm a bigger picture kind of person and think we're doing well this season and the manager has played an integral part in that. So if in part you are agreeing with me then my view is hardly the antethesis of yours is it? I don't think it is beyond a joke, I'm not that worried by recent form (as outlined above), I don't think that Pards is shying away from it and don't think he should start (period) as I trust the managers judgement. I disagree with all you say in terms of the hysterical way it is expressed and the actual content. Antithesis. The only thing I agree with is I'd like him to be good and start games - but that's no revelation is it

Yes - now answer the questions

Unfortunately Bolton haven't been a bit of a soap opera like ourselves, and Blackburn are becoming with their slowly becoming clear mentalist owners. Never quite understood the media's obsession with us (the bad stuff) myself. His post match interview was classic today. Semi blaming the players performance, added to that suspensions and injuries and then my particular favouite the I have always been successful line. This will not end well and I'm chuffed about it. I actually don't mind Coyle but am no fan of Gartside Aye Gartside was one of the first to come out with no relegation thing wasn't he, a while back but i'm sure it was him. Think he was. Can't stand him. They're skint i think and with their pitiful support are only going in one direction. Coyle was saying that he was gutted for the 600 travelling fans today. Crock of s**** club. Give me a Sheff Weds and day of the week. I'm surprised 600 travelled with the way we've played this season. Once again fans are judging clubs on attendance, when frankly it's an utter irrelevance these days. Dear me. Either way, you do a "historical Premier League" and Bolton would be in there. Why not judge a club on attendance? Why is it irrelavent. Clearly relevent to me...

The amount of 'L's there. I imagine there'd have been a fair few more if they hadn't had Sturridge for the first half of that list as well. Good point - certainly one at our place

And this for me the antithesis of my views Why? Do explain. Read what i think above. My gusset is drier than yours
