Was Cisse offside……hate for them down south to complain like!!
…and HBA should have been booked for NOT falling over…
What a result!! We won again HAHA! :)
Ps. What a great goal by Benny.
i was sitting there thinking this is gonna take a moment of magic to carve bolton open. the rest they say is history.I dont care how we play as long as we win cos thats all that counts.fook it lets go for third n break the trend we r back wer we belong
Besides the goal by Ben Arfa, it was also an excellent assist by Shola for the second goal. Brilliant pass.
Aye Worky, that was a brilliant pass from him. Perfectly placed.
Howay Fulham!
yup must agree great assist by Ameobi for the second.
Howay Fulham is right Worky. Can’t believe we’re after a Champions League spot. Dream come true after recent years.
And we’ve got a couple of teams to chase now. It’s not just a 2 horse race anymore. Spuds form has been horrific and even arsenal is close at hand. They probably have an easier run in than us however. I don’t fancy that last day match away at Goodison. That’s perhaps more most difficult test left this campaign.

“Howay Fulham is right Worky. Can’t believe we’re after a Champions League spot.”
Aye Johnny, but who are we gannin’ to temporarily support when it’s Spurs v Chelsea though? A draw might be the best thing there?
Agree Tripp. Hard for me as my best mate’s a blue bleeding Toffee, but of course I’ll be looking for a Toon win. I have a lot of respect for that team and Moyes is a great manager. I find myself wanting an Everton win over Liverpool (hate those red scum), but want that ensured Europe spot… Hopefully we’ll over take chelsea and tottenham and not have to worry about it. I’ll be watching the Fulham game with some mates this afternoon. Need a win!

“Spuds form has been horrific”
The curse of being linked with the England job is a long and powerful curse, Tripp. :-)
Oops! Spurs v Chelsea’s the FA Cup semi. I’ll get me coat…
Shola the playmaker !
Was just mentioning on here a coupla days ago, how Shola seemed a better fit as a second striker, more of a playmaker than Ba, who wants to be a CF.
Perhaps Shola has reached his prime and playing alongside guys like HBA and Cisse, can form a productive partnership.
I’ve just put a link to Alan Pardew’s post match interview below the highlights.
I’ve put longer highlights up now too. Will keep checking.
cabaye brilliant again ,krul not many better in europe never mind england !!!!!
Link to Owen Coyle’s post match interview up now too.
ps: And Tony Cottee’s pundit’s view.
Watched the HBA goal, can anyone tell me why this guy sat on the bench for most of the season.
Cause i’m curious !
Knew as soon as Sola came on th@ the tide would turn. We are the greatest football team th@ ever was.
Come on you mAGS.
Check ya’ mail worky.
;)
The second goal was without doubt off-side!
chuck,
i’m gonna tell ya’ one more time mate, now listen up…
He wasn’t ready, fully match fit or completely over his terrible injury & his comeback (in the states) injury.
Now stop asking please, i’m not gonna tell ya’ again, that’s about 10 times now.
;)
:)

“Check ya’ mail worky.”
Excellente Clint! Haven’t read it yet, but I’ll get it sorted. Keep fingers crossed for my Broadband. I want to morda that Branson bastad!
Clint / Chuck, I knew you’s two were gannin’ to pick up the handbags again! :lol:
chuck,
howay man, if you don’t support the Toon…
…what are you moaning about man?
We scored 2 & won & another clean sheet.
Be happy, enjoy it while it’s happening, not retrospectively.
There’ll be plenty more to moan about soon enough, probably.
:)
worky,
i’m only having a laugh mate.
I like chuck, & his devil’s eggnogg!
Obviously if we make it to the Champions league, it would
be a positive, both financially and would give players pause for thought, either about leaving the club or possibly joining the club.
The question arises what effect it would have on “Wor Mike”, would he be more inclined to dig that bit deeper, into his pocket to finance the signings that could make us competetive in that competition ?
Or is making money (he’s had a good year with Sports Direct) more important ?
Just got in from the match.
To be honest it was a pretty stale performance and the lads were getting a rollicking from the crowd early in the second half. Just seemed a little flat.
Gotta give Bolton credit and especially Mark Davies who I noticed man mark Cabaye throughout the first half. They pressed us really well and did their homework. They can and probably will just stay up.
But Ben Arfa’s goal was worth the admission alone! What a goal and a great three points, especially with other results today.
Also thought you all better know in case you didn’t notice… Sports Direct have a sale on :-)
CLINT
Believe what you like, question is whats a guy doing on the bench if he’s not fit ?
Or completely over his injury, same thing , not fit.
Would you not consider it may have been more about Pardew not playing him because of what he considered lack of defensive effort ?
Clint
Are you saying the second goal was’nt offside ?
CLINTON
Hey maybe you should get on Jimbobs case, he claims the side put on a pretty stale performance and got a rolliking from the crowd, in fact perhaps you should get on the crowd’s case ?
You the negative police or summat ?
Full match video on it’s way, and I’m working on your report, Clint.
chuck,
i think jimbob got it about right mate & if/when you read my report you’ll see that.
Just because a player isn’t fully match fit either physically or mentally, especially when they are new o the league, sticking them on the bench is de riguer mate.
It gets them ensconced into the feel, style & what’s required from them, a psychological arm ’round the shoulder.
Does that explain it?
Na, i don’t think it was offside (2nd goal), but i’m sure it’ll be mentioned on motd etc.
If it is, it didn’t look it, i’ll say “Oh! It was offside”. Then i’ll carry on with what i was doing ‘cos we’ve had a dab of fortune for a change.
If you want offside, try chelsea v wigan, 2 offside goals that could send ‘Wor Mike’s’ arch rivals team down.
Terrible decisions.
worky,
cheers mate.
;)
Chelsea leading at half time :(
Another dodgy decision/penalty, now against Fulham.
That call could have gone either way but OF COURSE it went Chelsea’s way.
Full match video of Bolton game now up lads.
Match report coming in the fullness of time.

Clint if bullshit was music you would be a brass band !
chuck,
i’ve got a band already mate.
;)
CLINT
If you are the negative police, how come you are endorsing Jimbobs view of the game.
Dont tell me there’s anything negative in your report, Nah! what was i thinking ?
I’m really surprised by Ben Arfa’s pace for the goal today. I would have thought the broken leg would have slowed him down a bit.
I wonder if the physios and fitness coaches, not to say Doctor’s, advised that Ben Arfa was best eased back to action – not playing too many consecutive games, getting match fit, having a few cameo appearances. Just a thought.
Gotta gan, it’s that time of day !
GS
Hold that thought, Clint would like to think it was the case, not de riguer of course, but a thought neverthe less.
chuck,
mate,
it’s not about negative, it’s about negative for the sake of it.
Hey man, if that’s your schtick ok, but i do have the right to question it, yea?
Don’t take it to heart mate, i like our banter man.
Have a good day mate, really!
;)
Chuck, even when the team isn’t doing well, Clint’s always on happy pills. :-)
GS,
totally mate.
That’s what usually, historically has happened hasn’t it?
It’s the correct course.
worky,
i’m ower auld to cry too much about football mate.
:)
…&, i certainly don’t cry when we win…
…unless it’s particularly touching.
:lol:
Wait what? I’m being negative? Thought I was being balanced. It wasn’t a great performance, but we managed to get three very important points. Bolton played really well to be fair.
Anyway, death, misery and pain to all!

Well, given that none of have any control over the fortunes of the club, that seems the sensible way to go to me.

To Richard Branson anyway, Jimbob.
jimbob,
i think chuck’s mixing negative up with realistic mate.
;)
Quite possibly Clint :-)
Worky, never had trouble with Virgin… Touch wood.
jimbob,
;)
me neither!
Maybe it’s certain areas (virgin).
Although their operatives do seem to like to leave the fronts off of their junction boxes in the street, weirdos!
:)
Dempsey
1-1
Good lad CLiNT!
Ta!
:lol:
5 straight wins, 10 scored 1 conceded which was a williamson blunder. Looking good! What a goal from Benny aswell.
