Oh I thought there was some crowd aggro or something. So it's just sort of like Bournemouth having their first big Premier League away day at Liverpool

Back home to Bournemouth from Liverpool after a game would be gruesome but just about manageable with half a night's sleep before work the next day. You'd have to be absolutely insane to go to Plymouth if you have work back in Carlisle the next morning.

Goals and appearances don't matter in Levyslurpsville, it's all about getting the biggest profits on your successes and the smallest losses on your flops.

Still remember the 4th goal from that game where theo has the ball in space on a counter. You just see arshavin going full ham streaking across the field. Had such a soft spot for him, really wish he could have realized his potential.

Like how can you do something like that but end up being a complete lazy pos the rest of your career.

Bolton now haven't won for nine games and haven't scored in six.

Only as it was fairly widely reported at the time and subsequently, and just because one guy now says it was £20m doesn't necessarily make it so.

But either way, was never £26m.

Yeh that was awesome that game as it all but sealed the title for us!

It was the season after he started to lose form. Then couldn't get a game.

I remember laugh when he was playing against us at o.t then he just took all his anger out on a rocket into the top corner!

It's quite compelling evidence if someone who originally believed it to be £13m goes back and says he was wrong though.

They're a legitimately bad team by my estimation.

They took Gary Madine on a free from Sheffield Wednesday. He didn't even always make the bench when we were Championship relegation candidates and he has tonnes of baggage (convicted for ABH 2 years ago is the most recent). He gets in Bolton's starting XI.

I think at the start of the season, the market overestimated Neil Lennon's capabilities. That's now been revised and they're rated about equal 3rd favourite, behind Preston and Rotherham and about the same as Huddersfield to go down, which is more like it.

meh i remember Fellaini and Mason both going 7 fouls against us last year before getting even one yellow, and by the same token Bellerin getting the red against swansea for two fouls. i guess the correct answer is VARIANCE.

Arsenal away is always top 2 worst games for us. Our first 2 performances suggest a complete doing could be on the cards.

pool could be a right pain in the arse to break down if they sit deep. they've got the tireless limited battling midfield and the big lump up front that it'll stick to.
