Bolton are very good this year, have the potential to finish 6-8th IMO. They won't be tough because they're physical, they'll be tough because they're GOOD. Actually look pretty soft in the air these days, ironically.

A bit random, but I was just reading through my old posts because I have nothing better to do, and seeing some really cringe-worthy stuff I wrote up when we were about to sign him. Really, everyone should go read their old posts sometime. Gives you some perspective. I'm starting to realize that the tail-end of the 2008/2009 season made me genuinely mentally unstable. Some of the rants I go on about having to sack Kinnear immediately Wish I could go take a look at some of the stuff I had on the old forums under Roeder.

Hughes' Blackburn were just dirty, not overly defensive.

From England cap to benchwarmer in 90 minutes Which idiot(s) mentioned an England cap? I swear you take pride in some of players having poor games like. If Lovenkrands had come on and offered f*** all, you'd have been jizzing all over the telly. Calling players gash and posters idiots are basically Ronaldo's twin purposes in life.

In what way? He didn't get sent off, and he won't be banned after the fact. Why do you want one of our best players out of contention for three matches? Wanting that is letting your club down. I normally wouldn't even consider the possibility of a banning, but there are people who've been waiting for an excuse to put Barton away for ages.

From England cap to benchwarmer in 90 minutes

We'll struggle mightily with no Tiote, Nolan looks completely knackered already, Ameobi injured again. Barton possibly banned. Signs are not good, which probably means 5-0 win to us.

cue patronizing speech from Allardyce about how Newcastle have "great fans" that "deserve better" and he "could have given it to them if only he had a "fair chance."

By the end of the season we may have handed all of our relegation rivals points at home.

The sad thing is that with no Tiote and possibly no Barton, you know we have no chance whatsoever against Fulham

This is getting to the point where I wish we could play away every week

Precisely the sort of goal that shit strikers always score against us

go to hell

It's really not a big deal, just giving him a playfull jab. But it's certainly not something Joey fucking Barton should feel comfortable doing knowing his own reputation

WTF Barton

What a dive

CARROLL FOR ENGLAND CARROLL FOR WORLD XI CARROLL FOR SAINTHOOD

Ranger on for Ameobi. I guess Hughton does have an iPhone. Blatantly ran off in the middle of the team talk to check what the lads on N-O were saying.

Did I just see Ranger walking out the tunnel?

How do we even score with our current tactics against that? Oh well, top 5, it's been nice knowing you.

It's odd, this sort of match was always so predictable that I find it hard to even get mad about it.

This is the worst kind of game to be up on 5am on a weekday to be watching. Oh well, I'll try to take the continued misery in stride.

FFS, I'm not asking you to go build a shrine or something. Oppose the war, not the people fighting it, all I'm saying. And this is just on general principal and does not indicate myself holding a certain political view concerning the British government's deployment of forces to Iraq... BECAUSE I'M NOT BRITISH (probably should have been mentioned at the start.)

Souness and Allardyce were the bookends that made Roeder seem like a competent manager.
