Sunday, December 7th, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Cahill, Jlloyd Samuel | 3 Comments
Are match officials biased towards Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal?
Bolton Wanderers have now lost all four matches against the big four teams in the Premier League this season.

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the last couple of days
- He may have scored three goals in two games, but Johan Elmander is still the eighth worst summer signing in the Premier League, accoring to the Daily Telegraph.

Gary Megson’s (mis)interpretation of the Respect campaign
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | BWFC People, Fabrice Muamba, Gary Megson | 1 Comment
The Bolton boss appears to be taking it a little too far…
Fair play to Gary Megson for somehow managing to keep a lid on his anger on the two occasions that Rob Styles has worked his magic on us this season (this occurred to me after watching Neil Warnock’s latest undignified rant over the weekend).
But I fear Megson may be taking the FA’s much talked about Respect campaign a little too literally.

What Manny Road was reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers yesterday…
- An England squad that included Wolves (yes, that’s Wolves of the Championship) defender Michael Mancienne, who is on loan from Chelsea because he can’t get a game there (what does Gary Cahill have to do to get a call-up, other than playing consistently well in the Premier League every week?).

Bolton Wanderers Hall of Shame #7: Rob Styles
Monday, November 17th, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Cahill, Kevin Nolan, Ricardo Gardner | 3 Comments
We was Rob-bed… again!
When Rob Styles gave the worst penalty decision ever against us at Manchester United earlier this season, I was among the very few Bolton Wanderers fans who defended him; pointing out that in comparison to certain other referees, Styles’ crimes against us were relatively minor (i.e it was only one mistake).

Bolton Wanderers v Liverpool: The fans’ view

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 2-0 home defeat to Liverpool…
- The performance in the first-half was totally negative. We were dominated in defence, midfield and attack. We are the only team in the Premier League that goes out on to the field with the intention of not winning the game.

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers today…
- The incredible news that the referee for this weekend’s clash against Liverpool will be… Rob Styles! (I’m sure he’ll be made very welcome).

What Manny Road has been reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers over the last few days…
- This amusing photo essay of Gary Megson’s career at Bolton Wanderers and, from the same site, a break down of the managers we shouldn’t get to replace Megson (not sure about Sam Allardyce’s inclusion, though).

Recommended reading (24.10.08): Rob Styles (again), the credit crunch (again) and positive thinking Spurs style
Friday, October 24th, 2008 | BWFC People, Phil Gartside | 1 Comment
What Manny Road was reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers yesterday…
- Spurs fans think they’ll go down if they lose to the Wanderers on Sunday (no pressure there then).
- Rob Styles (finally) gets his punishment (not that it’s any help to us now).
- And finally… this report on the impact of the credit crunch on Premier League attendances. It shows Bolton fourth in the table, with attendances 8.3 per cent up on this time last year (which means either the club’s attempts to ‘reconnect with the fans’, as Phil Gartside puts it, are working, or football fans are stupid enough to pay to watch any old crap).

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008 | BWFC People, Gary Megson, Jlloyd Samuel, Kevin Nolan, Phil Brown, Sam Allardyce, Sammy Lee | No Comments
What Manny Road was reading (and thinking) about Bolton Wanderers yesterday…
- Wondering why the headline wasn’t ‘No shit Sherlock’ for this story in which Kevin Nolan says the Wanderers will not be challenging for Europe this season. Nolan also says:
We’re trying to change it slowly from the Sam Allardyce and Sammy Lee era. But the wheels are in still in motion trying to do that. The fans are starting to come round to the fact that it’s changing.
Really? Which message boards is he reading?
- Reading this brilliant dossier on the many cock-ups of Rob Styles after the hapless ref made another blunder during the Newcastle v Manchester City game on Monday night. The starting XI of Styles’ victims of course includes Jlloyd Samuel.
- And finally… after reading yet another interesting and engaging interview with the increasingly impressive Phil Brown (he came across brilliantly on the BBC’s Inside Sport programme the other night too), wondering why the answer to this equation (best young manager in the Premier League + long history with Bolton Wanderers + still lives in Bolton) isn’t Gary Megson sacked, Phil Brown coming home.
