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.

Big Sam rears his ugly head again
The Daily Star proves Manny Road’s worst fears about Gary Megson and Sam Allardyce
I wrote yesterday that the football Bolton have played under Gary Megson has been so dull that it appears to have put many journalists in to some kind of trance, in which they believe Sam Allardyce is still the Wanderers manager.
And just to prove that only some of what appears on Manny Road is over-reacting to simple mistakes, on the very same day the Daily Star published an article about new signing Lee Chung-Yong in which Big Sam again reared his ugly (quite literally) head (hat tip to Alex for pointing this out in the comments of yesterday’s post).

Memo to the national press: Sam Allardyce does not manage Bolton Wanderers

Another season, and yet more lazy journalists getting the basics wrong

I lost count of the number of times the press made reference to Sam Allardyce being manager of Bolton Wandererers last season.
After Big Sam returned to management in the north-west with Blackburn midway through last season, a succession of newspaper articles and – if memory serves – over-excitable Sky Sports pundits, lazily got Bolton mixed up with their Lancashire rivals.

Wigan Athletic 0-0 Bolton Wanderers: What the papers say

How the national press reported the Wanderers goalless draw at the JJB Stadium
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.

10 things you (probably don’t) need to know about Bolton and Fulham

Your guide to all the pre-match gossip and Mystic Meggery ahead of Bolton v Fulham
Reasons to be cheerful
1. Fulham have not won away from home this season and have only scored three goals on their travels. Basically they’re completely useless away from Craven Cottage.

The Bolton manager’s Facebook charm offensive
I wrote a few months back about Gary Megson trying to win over some fans by accepting them as friends on Facebook.
Since then, of course, his roller-coaster relationship with the supporters has had several more ups and downs, most notably when he called travelling fans at Blackburn “pathetic”.

BWFC Hall of Shame #9: Foul-mouthed El-Hadji Diouf

Former Wanderers star allegedly falls foul of prank call
I was always slightly uneasy with the amount of respect El-Hadji Diouf seemed to get from Bolton Wanderers fans.
After all, despite his efforts on the field for the Whites, various incidents – including spitting and drink driving (both glorified in a popular terrace chant) – indicated he was a deeply unpleasant human being.
