Manny Road’s Bolton Wanderers iPod play list
Gary Megson revealed this week that he has issued Wanderers players with special iPhones to help them prepare for big games.

The Bolton News should be ashamed of itself for condoning such terrible photography
Violence is a cancer that has long afflicted football, and sadly we got a glimpse of it again at the weekend when fighting broke out between rival gangs of Wanderers and Hibernian fans following Jussi Jaaskelainen’s testimonial.
Worse still, it appears that as well as their inability to get on swimmingly with each other, football fans are not very good at citizen journalism either.

The News of the World gives top billing to Jussi Jaaskelainen, suggesting Wigan would have won at a canter but for the Bolton keeper’s heroics. The Guardian described Jaaskelainen as “immense”. The Mail is similarly complimentary, although it does point out that he almost got punished for a howler early in the game.

How the national newspapers reported the Wanderers’ 1-0 defeat at Fratton Park
The Express said that Bolton weren’t even trying to win the game and were seemingly content with a dull, goalless deadlock.
The contrast with the fighting spirit shown at Chelsea seven days earlier was also pointed out by the Guardian, who described the Whites as “uninspired”. The Telegraph, meanwhile, said we “lacked ambition and failed to ignite.”
