Come breezeblock, let us spread harmony amongst the forumites
Here’s a brilliant contribution from ‘breezeblock‘ a prolific poster on bwfcforum
I went to the Fulham game by train. I don’t do it very often because it’s quicker to drive and no-one complains about the smell on the M60. The trains were slightly messed up because of some essential repairs in Preston…probably having electricity or running water installed. Met up with Wayne and some of the old BWFC board regulars and had a couple of Australia’s finest auburn blush hops-based beverage served in a delightful polyethylene terephthalate decanter (Fosters in a plastic bottle). Would have been nice to have a pint at half time but the queue at 3.39pm was already fourteen deep and I gave up by 4.53pm when that number was down to seven deep. Not only does the beer taste like sheep dip but you have to suffer a similar queuing process as the animals themselves do.

Bolton Wanderers opinions you won’t read on the BBC

This post, the first by our second new guest blogger Stephen McClusky, was originally posted on the BBC 606 message board, from where it was swiftly censored on the grounds it would ’cause too much controversy’. In the interests of free speech, here it is…
I know we are probably sick of hearing about the HORRIFIC challenge on mini-Davo; however I need to express my sheer anger and disgust at what was, in my opinion. A VERY cynical (even malicious) tackle on a player who was a massive part of the game.
So here is my honest opinion…

Time to ‘get real’ about Bolton Wanderers. Here goes…

Football fans will ‘get real’ when journalists do too…
Disliking Bolton Wanderers has become default mode for most journalists and pundits these days. Their main problems with us are that we bullied Gary Megson out of a job and have ideas above our station when it comes to what we think our team should be capable of.
The first point has been covered at length on this site, but I will just link to a comment I left on this article, which repeated the misleading argument that results had nothing to do with Megson’s sacking. I added a bit of realism.
On the second, am I the only person who finds it incredibly ironic that Sky and the newspapers, who have spent the last 15 years hyping the ‘promise land’ of the Premier League, are now telling us that we should ‘get real’?

In the first post by one of Manny Road’s new writers, Wanderers fan Bruce Garrow gives his view on the Gary Megson/Owen Coyle saga…
We’ve never had it so good. Barring a lengthy cup run or an ambitious voyage into the top half of the table, a managerial shake-up is as much excitement as Bolton fans can expect this year. Once again the media searchlight hovers our way as General Gartside cleans out a mess of his own making.
Owen Coyle and Gary Megson were both in the running to succeed Sammy Lee back in 2007, but our chairman recommended Coyle to Burnley and they took him at his word. In the meantime, Megson’s stewardship was thankfully consigned to history at the turn of the year. So now we’re afforded a rare chance to see how history can play out with Gartside’s other favourite, who is likely to return, pending compensation.

Shot in the arm: Manny Road finds Gary Megson's secret formula
Shot in the arm: Manny Road finds Gary Megson's secret formula
Gary Megson isn’t the only one to get a shot in the arm this week
I’m weak. It’s only been three-and-a-half weeks and I’ve already broken my two late-year resolutions. Regular readers will know that I gave up this blog after the Blackburn game and also vowed not to attend another Bolton Wanderers match until significant personnel changes were made in the dug-out department.

Manny Road is officially going dark…
After a month of very little activity here on Manny Road, I’ve finally decided to put the blog on hold for a while.
I’ve been mulling this over for some time. Partly it’s motivated by factors in my own life: lack of time, an array of other projects to be getting on with, and the realisation that I’ve learnt pretty much everything I can from the Manny Road project – not least that you can’t make money from blogging; not about Bolton Wanderers anyway.

Alex Ferguson doesn’t give a toss about Gary Megson

The Bolton News falls for the United boss’ mind games
I Twittered last night about the appalling levels of hypocrisy on Five Live Sport, who went seamlessly from talking about how out of order football fans are for abusing players to then justifying Alex Ferguson’s abuse of referee Alan Wiley.
But Five Live aren’t the only ones who’ve swallowed Fergie’s spin.

The Bolton Wanderers manager should concentrate on brown-nosing fans, not Alex Ferguson
If there’s a Gary Megson interview taking place in the national media these days, you can guarantee that one of the questions on the journalists’ list will be something along the lines of: “So Gary, how does it feel to be hated by your own fans?”

How to interview a Bolton Wanderers fan, courtesy of striatic
Just in case anyone cares what we think…
Following on from my post the other day about the use of silly analogies, I stumbled across another – albeit over a week old – article that shows how generalisations and misrepresentations are being used to bash Bolton Wanderers fans and their dislike of Gary Megson.
