I’ve just looked at the league table.
A silly mistake.
In a bad mood before I even start.
Before we enter the ship (yes I said Ship) show of the league, let’s have an FA Cup tie against Bury to Shake things up…
It was not a classic.
Huge News…
Hope everyone has their passports ready.
Slaven Bilic (Released), Darren Rimmer (Bradford City) and Alex Notman (Huddersfield in Div One) won’t need them but Gavin Dunne, a 21 year old Irish “star” from Watford for a tribunal set £1.3m comes in to replace Bilic. A couple of Schoolboys join the party, Lee Ward (Central Defender) and Nicky Coppell (Right Winger).
A trip to Merseyside first up, and those who missed it are a bit like our strikers. They missed quite a bit too. We should have taken more than a point.
We’ve all made it to the 20th episode of this meandering, misfiring, and not exactly menacing attempt to replicate what Sir Alex Ferguson did at Man United, with Bolton Wanderers.
As a recap, this is how we compare to the great man.
The closest we’ve had is an FA Cup final defeat to Queens Park Rangers.
Something strange is happening..
We sit top of the Premier League. Only just.
But it beats 9th.
It’s that time again.
Let’s repeat what we did last season but with a slightly different squad.
Out are Nicolas Anelka (0 in 11 last year), gone to Fulham, and ex-Schoolboy Ian Martindale to Wigan. A combined total of £1m.
Welcome, Enrico Lemme, a full back from Inter Milan (£300k) and attacking midfielder, Finn Petersen from AB (£300k). Lemme, on paper, looks a better version of Robbie Elliot, whilst Petersen will compete with the other AMCs.
As ever a myriad of professionals told us to f… go away.
A near perfect first half and we are off and running.
14 games left in our season, on the back of 3 straight clean sheets AND wins. Nicely poised you’d think?
Watch me lose the next 14 games and finish midtable and win nothing.
True, we probably can’t win anything this season, but maybe a top 4 finish could get us something in Europe – another avenue?
Everyone’s favourite ginger does the business against Barnsley
Let’s take a moment to have a look at the startling progress made in this save already. Yeah, it’s been non-stop, wall to wall improvements.
The real Sir Alex picks up the October Manager of the Month award as his boys top the table, he’s also accepted a bid for OGS. But he tells us where to go. AGAIN.
Continue readingIt’s time again to pick up the challenge of trying to replicate what Sir Alex did at Manchester United, but with Bolton Wanderers. This is season 6 and currently we have won nothing of importance – or nothing that is comparable to the great Scot.
We’ve won a Division One Title and a FA Cup Runner’s Up medal. We are also finding it very tricky to convince anyone with Premier League experience to come on down.
It’s the final countdown..
Da La La La, La La La Laaaaa….
Yeah, you get the idea. The last 13 games of our first season back in the Premier League and it’s a case of we can relax and try and finish as high as we can. We are on 40 points so relegation is not happening. We also have the Quarter Final of the FA Cup, and we are amongst the favourites.
