I'm sick of it mate and I demand to know where my under 5 junior season ticket for £29.99 that I've proudly purchased for myself for the past 19 years... Well where is that money getting spent????? It certainly isn't there for these prima Donna players to be eating Gingsters sausage rolls on their luxury coach whilst us mere mortals have to put up with a Greggs pastie whilst stuck in the back of Uncle Frank's Ford Cortina with his 6 kids and Travel sick Terry ffs

Sometimes I wish we were still back in Fylde. Fans and players all in the same semi-articulated lorry with Frank the tramp driving god knows where. All of us swilling the same 2 litre bottles of fizzy bitter and smoking the duty free cigs that the Huck had sneaked back from his hols. Cracking times.

Now it's a pound for a programme and pies that brag about minimum meat content. The game got too rich. If Dunc and the Huck don't turn it around, I'm thinking of jacking it in.

Bleeding Burnley glory hunters saying 6 all the time as it's 6 years since we last met in the league. No marks with a decent defender and some fancy attackers? Just can't take it no more.

The game got too rich. Those words are just perfect mate and sum it up completely.

I'm gonna nick a tenner off Granny Sheila and get that tattooed on my back from little Nicky who lives behind the offy

We've seen the glory days mate, we may never see them again, though that's more to do with that fizzy bitter your Uncle Kenny gave us and blagging us it was his home brew and it had fermented properly

I can’t wait for all this misty-eyed sentimentality about non-league football to get thrown rar in the bin when Big Dunc gets offered the job as Everton manager.
 
THE CRACKS START TO APPEAR

Forest result.webp

Bolton kept up their good start snatching a point to in form Nottingham Forest. Guehi scored for Forest after a quiet start to the game. Kalvin Phillps being the architect for the goal after threading through a fast paced through ball for Guehi to get in front of the defence and slot past Amos. The concerning news came during the first half when winger Sean Robertson hobbled off after 22 minutes with Dennis Politic coming on for his chance in the first team. Joao Pedro had an awfully quiet game up front and was replaced by Mampala who after being on the pitch for six minutes grabbed the equaliser after getting in on goal from Oztumer's through ball. The Turk showing great vision to set up Mampala.

millwall away.webp

Bolton travelled to The Den with 500 supporters behind The Trotters but it wasn't pleasant viewing as 2nd placed Millwall's Marcondes scored a sensational hat-trick inside 20 minutes. The playmaker operated behind the sole striker causing mayhem for Daniel Batty in the anchor man role. Bolton could not get near him. There was a slight glimmer of hope when Politic clawed one back after scoring a tap in from a corner. It wasn't enough and Millwall continued to attack a defensive Bolton for large periods of the game. A poor result for The Wanderers.

DF: Hard one to take especially with the god start we have had. Big blow to us to come out of this one after conceding so early on. We were lucky we were not 6-1 down by the final whistle. All credit to Millwall they were a class act.


Barnsley result.webp

Manasse Mampala repaid the faith shown in him by Ferguson after earning a start away at Barnsley. The striker equalised with a cool finish one on one against Adam Davies. Bolton back in with a chance and were unlucky not to be 2-1 up on the verge of half time with Mampala scoring again but was in an offside positon. Rafael Mir was replaced on the left wing by Duke-McKenna who lost the ball to opposing winger Danny Grant who used his pace to get down the line, cut inside and hit a curling shot inside the bottom left corner. Amos furious with his defence and the lack of closing down. The game was finished off with Callum Guy scoring inside the 91st minute after jinxing past Lewis Gibson and chipping the ball over Ben Amos. A poor result for Bolton and a furious Ferguson seething on the touchline.

Birmingham result.webp

18,000 fans inside the University of Bolton stadium made their feelings clear to the board when Ashley Hunter scored a half volley at the far post after Langs cross into the box. The board, who have failed to back Duncan Ferguson were the targets of abuse for the majority of the first half. Richie Towell doubled the scoreline late on in the game after a good second half performance from Bolton, Mampala grabbed one back 5 minutes later, the striker beginning to hit some good form after Ferguson put faith in the Congolese centre forward. Dwight McNeil returned from injury, coming on in the 62nd minute, the one chance came in the 81st when McNeil latched onto Gibson's clearance and ran forward getting into the area, got a shot off with his left and Nathan Baxter parried behind for a corner. A tough result for Bolton after playing excellent attacking football in the second half but another defeat saw them slide down the Championship table.

championship table after 10.webp

After ten games played, Bolton occupy 15th four points adrift the drop zone. A few more poor results could see them slip into the bottom 3 and now it is imperative Duncan Ferguson does what he does best and turns this around. What would be considered an achievement this season would be a mid-table finish considering the lack of financial backing but Ferguson is coming under stress in a tough division with superior quality amongst the sides. A trip to loftus Road in four days time is no easy game but it has to be one Ferguson can take points from. That will be followed by a home tie against Portsmouth.

I'm currently living in the Upper tier of the bisto stand Jimi, I've tied myself to the railings but they ain't arsed about little old loyal macca and his dedication.

I urge all fellow Boltonians to show the board we mean business by getting loads of cheese boards and chess boards and ironing boards and surf boards and snowboards and floor boards and Stuart Broads and lobbing the lot at the board as and when the opportunity arises.

That'll show em

Up the Dunc!

You show em macca lad don’t worry what Terri Anne and your folks say the fans are on your side

It doesn’t matter that you’ve shaved yourself and are on the front of the Bolton observer
It doesn’t matter that you’ve spent your life savings on placards and banners
It doesn’t matter that your wife and 11 kids have left you and your mums set fire to your tent
You’ve drawn a line in the sand
Enough is enough

Future generations will say

“I am maccavennie”
