By ‘eck, The Guardian thinks we all wear flat caps and work down mines…
Regular readers from last season will know Manny Road is not a huge fan of match previews. I attempted to hijack the ridiculous notion that stats and facts based on past events have any bearing on upcoming matches with the regular ‘… things you didn’t need to know about Bolton Wanderers v Team X‘ series.
Manny Road won’t be doing that this season, partly because I think I made my point, but mainly because I’ve got better things to do on a Saturday morning (like sleeping off hangovers, for example) than trawling through endless, tedious football fan sites reading anodyne facts about how many times Kevin Davies has used his enormous backside to win a free-kick.You can read this nonsense for yourselves over at NewsNow.

Jlloyd Samuel feels nice and rested… but will it do him any good against West Ham this weekend?
Jlloyd Samuel seems to have become Bolton Wanderers’ official spokesman during this international/FA Cup fallow period. A whole host of Samuel-based stories – not all of them especially fascinating, it has to be said – have kept the Wanderers news pages churning out copy during this terminally-slow-news couple of weeks.

Reasons to be cheerful…
1. Everton played 120 minutes on Wednesday night in the FA Cup against Liverpool, while the Wanderers were sitting at home with their feet up enjoying ITV’s, ahem, excellent coverage of the game.

Desert Island Goals: Wanderers FA Cup magic
Saturday, January 24th, 2009 | BWFC News, BWFC People, Gary Megson | No Comments
For those feeling a little left out this weekend
Memo to Gary Megson: The FA Cup is not about surrendering to Sunderland and then pretending it’s in the best interests of the club. This is what the FA Cup is all about…

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.

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the last week
- Following on from Kevin Nolan declaring exactly how much he thinks Bolton should be spending in the January transfer window, Kevin Davies has also been laying down the law, saying he’d like three new signings thanks very much Mr Megson (since when did players get to dictate transfer policy to the clubs they play for?).

How the press reported the Wanderers’ FA Cup exit to Sunderland
The Telegraph complemented both teams for putting full strength teams out, before adding that that added little to the overall quality of a poor match.

The Bolton Wanderers match report you won’t read in the papers (or see on Match of the Day)
Here’s what the various Bolton Wanderers discussion forums made of the 2-1 FA Cup exit to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light…
- Full strength team + pre-match statements that we’re going to take it seriously and give it a real go = rolling over and letting Sunderland tickle our bellies.

Your guide to all the pointless FA Cup previews and predictions
1. Gary Megson will name a strong team (but only because our squad is so small, not because he actually wants to win the FA Cup or anything daft like that).
