Would you buy a second hand car off these boys?
Aspirations have changed at Bolton since the dark days of Gary Megson. The arrival of Owen Coyle followed by our impressive start to the season had the more optimistic of us counting air miles and dusting off our Bulgarian phrase-books. Even when European qualification had passed us by – embarrassingly so in the cup – a top half finish was still on the cards right up to the end of the season.
Never mind. Coyle’s inherited Megson’s bunch of cloggers. Once he’s had the summer to make serious changes, we’ll be back to chasing Europe again. Surely relegation battles are a thing of the past? Aren’t they?
Maybe not. Our form after Christmas was relegation-standard, and the end of the season – five defeats on the bounce – was abysmal. It wouldn’t be the first time poor form at the end of one season has carried over to the next. Add to that our tough start to the season and it wouldn’t be a great surprise to see us rock-bottom after the first seven games. We’ll have easier runs to follow, but everything looks that bit tougher if you’re sat at the bottom and confidence may have taken a bit of a battering. › Continue reading

Your guide to all the Bolton v Newcastle previews and Mystic Meggery
Reasons to be cheerful…
1. Kevin Nolan will miss the game for his new club after he tried to maim Victor Anichebe last week. Joey Barton and Danny Guthrie will also be keeping their studs clean.
2. Newcastle fans may not be able to find the Reebok Stadium because of some typically piss poor transport planning. Unless, of course, Nolan has told them all his secrets.

What Manny Road was reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers yesterday…
- Alan Hansen reckons Hull City and West Brom definitely won’t get relegated, which means it’s more likely that Bolton will.
- Not everyone was over the moon with the free coach travel to West Ham, especially this fan who had to sit next some drunken teenagers on the way home.
- Following on from my post about the Met’s approach to swearing Bolton Wanderers fans, more evidence of double standards within the game as Joe Kinnear gets off scot-free for his four-letter tirade against journalists.
- Sam Allardyce lashes out at his former boss Mike Ashley for not giving him enough cash (déjà vu anyone?).
- And finally… this picture of Bolton from 1959 which shows Burnden Park in the background…
