How Gary Megson could become more popular than Adolf Hitler
Ridiculous analogies are the latest weapon of choice for the army of Pro-Megsonites (mainly non-Wanderers), who have taken it upon themselves to criticise Bolton fans for daring to have an opinion about the manager whose wages they pay.
SquareFootball (a good site that Manny Road enjoys a good relationship with, but isn’t afraid to criticise when they get it totally wrong), suggested recently that Bolton fans wouldn’t get behind Gary Megson even if he guided us to the Champions League.
Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa: What the papers say

How the national press reported Bolton Wanderers 1-1 Aston Villa
It seems like we’ve been hearing this for weeks now, but yet again we’re told by the Mail that Bolton are just one win away from definite safety. The same paper also tells us that Gary Megson believes Bolton have “hearts as big as buckets all over the pitch.”
Big hearts maybe (although that wasn’t necessarily the case at Portsmouth last week), but the Guardian thought the Wanderers display lacked inspiration, saying that “the highlights of this encounter will not make it into any PowerPoint presentations put together for Bolton chairman Phil Gartside’s proposed two-tier top-flight that would include Celtic, Rangers and, of course, Wanderers.”

Have your say on the burning question following Bolton’s 4-1 win at Sunderland…
Today’s 4-1 thrashing of Sunderland continued the Wanderers recent run of good form: three wins in the last four away from home, four wins from the last five home and away, for the stattos. We are still only five points from the relegation zone, but we are also only five points from the Champions League places.
