Bolton 1-0 Newcastle: The fans’ view
Monday March 2nd, 2009
The Bolton Wanderers match report you won’t read in the papers (or see on Match of the Day)
Here’s what the various Bolton Wanderers message boards made of the 1-0 win over Newcastle United yesterday…
Positives
- “It was a seminal result. There’s no way we’re going down now” … “we only need seven more points from a possible 33″ … “in fact we might only need 37.”
- “Recent results against Spurs, West Ham and now Newcastle at home show that Gary Megson is doing a good job” …”he’s really ramming it back at his critics” … “it’s good to see the opposition manager getting it in the neck for a change.”
- “Mark Davies looks like a star in the making” … and “Ricardo Gardner was brilliant too” … “he’s been arguably our most important player this season.”
- “Gary Cahill was man of the match yet again.”
- “Ebi Smolarek looked sharp. Megson did the right thing bringing him on rather than Ariza Makukula.”
- “Kevin Nolan was in the stand and took the banter from the Bolton fans well.”
- “The fans got behind the team well” but…
Negatives
- “There are still a lot of empty seats” and… “the fans who seem to want the team to lose just so we can get rid of Megson are a disgrace” … as is “Phil Gartside, who threatened some fans with action from the stewards after they criticised team selection.”
- “Once again the midfield disappeared and we ended up getting pinned back in to our own half.”
- “Both teams were rubbish. Neither of them could pass a ball properly.”
- “The problem is we have players willing to run themselves in to the ground but no-one with the technical know-how to see out a game without the usual pant-shitting at the end.”
- “Johan Elmander worked hard but his finishing needs some work” … in fact “he’s a complete waste of money.”

Bolton were second best in every point of this game except the one that matters, the final score. So if luck is the way to stop up Bolton seem to be having their fair share.
