Wayne Rooney
It Shouldn’t Happen to a Smoggie

Speculation that Gary Megson will join Middlebrough continues, which is pleasing – unless you support that club. The comments below, taken from Smoggies forum, oneBoro.com demonstrate the feeling.
‘..mowbray it is then all im thinkin now is please please dont be megson’
‘NOT MEGSON’
‘I don’t care if we get Donald Duck as long as he gets us winning matches, as long as it isn’t Megson’
‘Gary Megson and Phil Brown… jesus, i’m ready to slash my wrists, although I might just wait until we have a definite announcement! f*****g Gary Megson!!’
The Bolton News got in on the act on Thursday.
‘Middlesbrough close in on Megson’, ran the headline.
Wanderers fans would like to close in on the Ginger One, but only in the same way that a pride of hungry lions would do on an unsuspecting warthog.
It’s not been easy being a ‘Boro fan for a while now. Gareth Southgate, relegation, failure to win promotion and a soulless stadium in the middle of an industrial wasteland have seen to that. They’ve only just got rid of one copper-topped wazzock, it seems cruel to foist another upon them.
Meanwhile, Megson has been spending his spare hours (ie all of them) helping out at the local homeless shelter. With limited success we understand.
Wayne’s Staying Put
The most amusing sight of last week was the staff at Old Trafford hurriedly ripping down the giant poster of Wayne Rooney that adorned the front of the building, as Britain’s most high profile user of escort services announced that he was off on his toes.
Since then there’s been a change of heart. Speculation about why has failed to find an answer. A wage increase? Promises of squad strengthening? Bananas?
Yes, you read that last bit right. A few years ago, citizens of Coacalco, Mexico, stormed the town hall and forced the mayor to resign, but not until after they’d made him eat twelve pounds of bananas.
Perhaps the seething mob who congregated outside Rooney’s house last Thursday night, tried the same tactic. Given the Chav Master General’s resemblance to a certain primate it was worth a shot.
A New Start for the BWSA
The cardigan and slippers brigade aka Bolton Wanderers Supporters Association has needed a swift boot up the arse for some time now. Last Tuesday, at the AGM, it may have received one, as new members were co-opted onto the committee.
The Gang of Four weren't welcomed by everyone
The move was opposed by a highly vocal trio of blue rinsers, who placed a delightfully bitchy post on the Bolton News Forum dubbing the newbies the ‘Gang of Four’, and declaring that they had bad hair and less than snappy dress sense. Ooh.
Despite falling attendances and a bleak economic outlook, crowds at the Reebok still top 20,000. The Junior Whites boasts a membership of 11,000. Bolton, as a town, has a population of a quarter of a million. Sixty-five people attended Tuesday’s meeting.
Placing blame for that situation would be as pointless, as it is unfair. With a new and popular manager, and a feeling of excitement that has been absent for some years, it’s time to look to the future. Bolton chairman Phil Gartside has spoken of the need to reconnect with the fans. Having to find them first makes the exercise more difficult than it might be.
Future developments will be discussed here, on a dedicated website, and in the match programme. In the meantime, if you’d like more details about joining the BWSA (cardigan wearers still welcome) then drop an e-mail to roadrunner@bwfc.co.uk

A Visit From the Ugliest Team in Football
Sunday, September 26th, 2010 | BWFC Goals, BWFC People, Owen Coyle, Premier League | 2 Comments
Manchester United are today’s visitors to the Reebok with the home support not exactly in a confident frame of mind. The days when Bolton could put it up the big boys seem a long time ago.
Owen Coyle’s men have had a mixed few days. A creditable performance at Aston Villa, followed by a lethargic showing at Burnley. The latter demonstrated that the Wanderers boss hasn’t got much depth in his squad.
Meanwhile, up the road in Stretford, Alex Ferguson has spent the week playing hide and seek with Patrice Evra. United’s left-back hasn’t been the same since being terrorised by Kevin Davies in 2007 and is always a reluctant participant in this fixture. Last season, Evra’s fingers had to be prised off the door frame as he was dragged out of Old Trafford and onto the team coach. A similar scuffle is anticipated this time round with the Frenchman’s passport having been confiscated as a precautionary measure. › Continue reading

Warren Obb explores the rumours that others dare not !
due to journalistic integrity (and the fact it might not be him) we have blanked out the ugly mush in this pic
(we would like to express, these are not necessarily the views of bwfcforum or manny road)
