what team should i support?

[The_ChelseaSupporter]

Nope I live in the hills so can't even get broadband, but I do have guitar hero which is the most addictive thing ever:D

Aston Villa are owned by an American and Tom Hanks is a 'fan' and Everton have Sylvester Stallone as a 'fan'. Both gayboys though if you ask me. And if you like Africans support Arsenal or Portsmouth.

Or Chelsea. We have four Africans.

But I would never advise anyone to support Chelsea sorry. :( It would be like asking someone to walk into a plague and cut themselves.

If supporting Chelsea is the equivalent of walking into a plague and cutting yourself, then supporting Bolton must be like castrating yourself. ;)

Sounds about right

[UShornet]

Anybody looking for a club to support needs to pick somebody outside the top 4. I don't see how anybody could unless you have ties to those areas. It's so bandwagon and you look like a stiff. I love Watford but I don't recommend supporting them, a draw is a good result for us (enough said)
up the orns

[BoltonMassiv]

How is a draw a good result when you're pushing for promotion and were leading the league for about half the year?

I'm always up for a bit of castration.

Choose the team that finishes one spot above the relegation zone.

That'll be Birmingham City then (please, please, please ....):rolleyes:

I hope it is too, as I have loads of respect for Birmingham City and their fans, having met quite a few online.

[BoltonMassiv]

Hmm, I think it'll be Reading in the 17th, Birmingham will finish 16th. The teams in the bottom 3 are already relegated.

As long as we stay up, i don't really care where we finish. IF we dos aty up, we will need massive re-building for next season but I just can't see our board funding the type of purchases we need. My only hope is that the teams who come up are even worse than the teams who go down.

[BoltonMassiv]

Well they will be worse than Bolton, it's all about whether they have a competent Manager/Board.

[blue nose uk]

Depends on your definition of competent. Our board are extremely competent at running a business ... and thats the problem. Everything is about being succesful on the balance sheets, not on the football pitch.

While I don't want us to go the way we did in the 80's and 90's, nearly going bust, I would like to see the board splash out a bit and try to push on. I know we'll never be a top 6 side but i'd like ot thnk we could have a chance of wining a League/FA Cup or two or having the odd season in Europe.

[BoltonMassiv]

That will never happen unless you get bought by someone rich, or your Manager comes up with some wicked tactic. I mean Bolton got into the UEFA Cup, finished in the top 6, got to the League Cup final all within 8 years, it's a shame all that hard work has gone down the shitter because the Chairman refuses to let the club spend money or advance.

What happened to the Anelka money? Do you blame Megson?

We got a load of expensive players off our payroll when we went down and saved a load of cash by buying Championship players. This season we've had the Sky money and STILL our chairman claims we can't spend a lot. Yet he keeps telling us that he wants us to be a top Premier League club and he has "renewed enthusiasum" since Alex Mc came to the club.

OK, we paid £5m for McFadden (and i'll eat my words here cuz I thought he'd be pants :D) and we got an absolute bargin with David Murphy at £1.5m but it's hardly making us a mid table side.

Sometimes I really do wonder why I bother, but then we put in a performance like we did against Man City and I end up renewing my season ticket (then a poxy performance against Wig Wam*) :(

*For our American friends - that's our name for Wigan Athletic

[BoltonMassiv]

Well look at what Megson spent the £15 million we got for Anelka on.
£3.5 - Gretar Steinsson, £3.5 - Matty Taylor, £1.5 - Tamir Cohen, £5 - Gary Cahill, £500k - Greg Rasiak(loan)

So, to replace our striker and key player, we sign 3 Defenders and a Defensive Midfielder.

Steinsson is a player who was on trial at Bolton about 5 years ago and we refused him. Matty Taylor is a very over rated player whos only real ability is to striker some outrageous shots at very inconsistant intervals. Tamir Cohen?? And Gary Cahill who turned you boys down, looks like a graet signing and definite England potential, let's hope he stays with us to see if we get promoted instantly. And then there's Rasiak who could barely get a game for southampton, so obviously he's got to be a prime target for Bolton, he's definitely got what it takes to replace Anelka..

Megson is well known for just going out and palying for draws, and it seems like this is definitely what he tried to do with Bolton, the signings to me just showed a total lack of tactical knowledge, the Chairman should have known this (and probably did but he's dense) so we sign Megson and have to pay compensation for him even though he had been a free agent for almost a year about 3 weeks before we felt the need to snatch him from Leicester (who were looking like sacking him soon anyway.)

Megson has not got a clue, and he's now lost the players faith and respect; Jaaskelainen isn't injured but this has just been said to cover up the fall out, Meite and Campo have fallen out with him, as have numerous other less key players.

When all we really wanted was a striker, he failed to deliver.

[blue nose uk]

I'd like to see us sign Jaaskelainen (if we stay up of course). I take it from the tone of your posts that you think you're down already, but we can still screw up and take your place.

[BoltonMassiv]

We are down without doubt, I can't see us getting another point or ever goal for the remainder of the season, and then when the season's over we'll go and ********ing try and get the Chairman and Manager sacked. If that fails I refuse to buy a season ticket or shirt until they do go

[blue nose uk]

Want to swap Chairmen ?

[BoltonMassiv]

Not right now:D You getting points deducted/relegated is our only hope of survival haha.

[blue nose uk]

Rumours are that we could be getting a new owner today :eek:
