The New Away Kit. Seriously?
By: Mark |WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
The home kit I took as a mistake, maybe some idiot just OK’d the design. I could live with that shirt, it wasn’t the ugliest thing that I have ever seen, but this? Come on, seriously? It honestly looks like someone threw up on the home kit and didn’t rub the stain [...]
Bye Bye Dioufy, Hello Riga
By: Mark |El Hadji Diouf
is gone. He has to pass his medical and then hes officially with Sunderland. I liked Dioufy over the years that he played for the Trotters. Even though he only scored an average of 5 goals a season, he was exciting. You never knew when he would blow up in someone’s face and [...]
Who is Fabrice Muamba?
By: Mark |Fabrice Muamba
He’s young. Only 20 years old and he’s earned 7 caps for the England U21 squad in the last year. Fabrice Muamba is our new defensive midfielder and he can fill in right where Ivan Campo left off. Campo spent 6 seasons at the Reebok and he was a welcome sight for just [...]
Who is Johan Elmander
By: Mark |There has been almost no news in the past few days. The team have slapped a 3 million pound price tag on Abdoulaye Méïté. No big deal. He’s obviously unfit to carry on as a Trotter if he can claim that he was injured enough to let 2 Man U goals go by. Other than [...]

So He’s a Bit Angry
By: Mark |Joey Barton.
He’s young, he has talent, and he has an anger management issue. When Barton transferred from Manchester City to Newcastle United for £5.8 million, a lot was expected from him. He was even rated the 10th best tackler in the entirety of the Premier League. An angry Bolton have denied that they want [...]
Bit more news from a few days ago
By: Mark |I’m just trying to catch this blog up a little bit on the recent Trotters news. Being a goalkeeper myself, I have the utmost respect for Jussi Jaaskelainen. He became one of my favorite players very quickly. Earlier in the year, there was much speculation that Jussi might leave the Reebok. According to Sky Sports [...]
