Your guide to all the Bolton v Newcastle previews and Mystic Meggery
Reasons to be cheerful…
1. Kevin Nolan will miss the game for his new club after he tried to maim Victor Anichebe last week. Joey Barton and Danny Guthrie will also be keeping their studs clean.
2. Newcastle fans may not be able to find the Reebok Stadium because of some typically piss poor transport planning. Unless, of course, Nolan has told them all his secrets.
9 random things I’ve learnt from blogging about Bolton Wanderers

Featuring prostitutes, Danny Guthrie’s tattoo and Gary Megson’s email address…
With the Whites languishing in the bottom two of the Premier League, I thought now might be an opportune time to reflect on some of the more lighthearted things I’ve learnt from three months of blogging about Bolton Wanderers:
Barclays show how much they value Bolton Wanderers

Official Premier League sponsor reckons we’re worth all of three paragraphs
Bolton Wanderers fans are well accustomed to opening the national newspapers and having to search for references to their club buried away in sidebars and news-in-briefs.
But you might think a 12-page season preview published by Barclays, the bank that sponsors the Premier League, would be a little more democratic in its allocation of space.
Not a bit of it.
The front cover promises ‘Views on every Premier League team’. The only problem is that while Manchester United are sycophantically drooled over for three pages, and the usual suspects – Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Man City, Everton and Newcastle – are given a full page each (including stats, facts and transfer ins and outs), the likes of Bolton – clearly the poor relations as far as Barclays are concerned – are given just three derisory paragraphs.
Bolton Wanderers get three paragraphs in the Barclays Premier League preview
And that’s three paragraphs that don’t even bother to mention the most significant developments of the summer months: the departures of Ivan Campo, El-Hadji Diouf, Stelios and Danny Guthrie; the big-money arrivals of Johan Elmander and Fabrice Muamba.
Instead we get three paragraphs of meaningless quotes from Gary Megson and a dig at the fans for not making him feel welcome when he took over last season.
Thanks, Barclays, for letting us know where we stand in the grand scheme of things.
What’s even more surprising is that I found this online-only supplement via The Bolton News website, who saw fit to big this publication up despite the insulting amount of space it gives the Wanderers. If this is an advertorial for Barclays then it should be marked as such and not as ‘Wanderers latest’.
This commenter on the story summed it up…
A piece of syndicated junk. The B(E)N whould think about whether it should be promoting the supplement with photos of other teams. The B(E)N should always put the other teams second. Bolton is the priority
