A tribute to Kevin Nolan
I asked yesterday whether selling Kevin Nolan to Newcastle is a good idea. The response was mixed, but on the whole in favour.
Either way, Kevin Nolan’s contribution to the last decade of Bolton Wanderers has been immense. Here are 10 of his greatest moments in a White shirt…

The Burning Question: Would you sacrifice a place in the Premier League for a Cup?

Is Tony Kelly talking rubbish about ‘concentrating on the league’?
I’ve said before that I think Tony Kelly is doing a good job as Fans’ Liaison Officer. His one downfall, though, continues to be his column in The Bolton News, which is unerringly optimistic and only serves to wind most fans up.

10 things Gary Megson and co should avoid in 2009
Over the last week or so I’ve been counting down my favourite 10 goals, games and players of 2008. You can see the results here.
But in the interests of fairness and balance I thought it only right to reflect on some of the low points of 2008 too and use them as new year’s resolutions for 2009…

Desert Island Goals: Kevin Nolan v Portsmouth

Celebrating great goals from Bolton Wanderers history
I wrote before the Aston Villa game last week about how watching Kevin Nolan’s goal from the 2004 Carling Cup semi-final made me realise how much the Bolton captain’s game has changed over the last few years.

Celebrating great Bolton Wanderers goals from history
In the absence of Alan Stubbs’ 1994 FA Cup winner against Villa from You Tube, this goal from the thrilling Carling Cup semi-final in 2004 was the obvious choice for today’s Desert Island Goal.

Bolton Wanderers Hall of Fame #6: Owen Coyle

A scorer of important goals, worthy of his place in McDonald’s…
There was an interesting discussion on the Times’ The Game podcast recently about how strikers don’t score goals any more. Their evidence was that the only three of the Premier League’s top 10 goalscorers are still playing (and none of them are at the top of their game any more).

Sorry seems to be the hardest word at Bolton Wanderers
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Megson, Gavin McCann, Mustapha Riga | No Comments
Will Gary Megson take his own advice?
Tapping the phone call between Gary Megson and Rob Styles on Monday, when the whistle-happy referee phoned the Bolton Wanderers manager to apologise for giving Manchester United a penalty on Saturday, would have made interesting listening.
Megson made it clear after the game on Saturday that he was only interested in an apology from Styles if it was a public one. He said:
I don’t want him to ring me up. I would have more respect from him if he just holds his hands up and says he was wrong.
As Gordon Sharrock points out in The Bolton News, keeping the apology private suggests Styles is trying to save his own neck rather than clearing the air in any meaningful way.
Nevertheless, I would have thought that Megson is the last man to pass judgment on Styles when it comes to taking responsibility for your actions.
Perhaps Megson would like to show Styles how it’s done by making a public apology for the following:
1. Fielding an under-strength team against Sporting Lisbon last season when thousands of Wanderers fans had paid hundreds of pounds to travel to Portugal in the hope of seeing their team progress in the Uefa Cup.
2. Allowing his team to be knocked out of the Carling Cup without even a hint of a fight against Northampton earlier this season.
3. Continuing to play Gavin McCann when Mustapha Riga has looked about a million times better on the rare occasions he’s been given a chance.
4. Criticising the fans for making mountains out of mole hills.
5. Criticising the players for being ‘one dimensional’, despite the fact that he picks a teams with three defensive midfielders in them.
There’s probably more. Feel free to add your own in the comments below…
