Bolton Flatline

Good evening.

The first half was touch and go… oh look I won’t go on if you promise not to either.

The reality is that the Bolton fans used the ‘Fabrice Muamba’ chants in a cynical fashion. Nothing for the whole of the second half, then as Bolton won a free kick in the 87th minute and up they rose… or sank… you tell me I’m wrong.

Owen Coyle’s post match comments were nothing shy of disgraceful. Not only am I bored with the grief junkies, I take exception with supporters and a manager trying to dine out on a man having a heart attack.

I really hope Bolton go down for that. A London derby awaits.  

We can win this cup.

    The sooner football fans get backto focusing on football and stop moralising about some bloke who did not die, the better. I was there tonight and the Bolton fans were guilty of the Fabrice chants being sung when they had run out of anything else to chant.

    im sure HH means nothing malicious, merely pointing out that the internet has bred a lot of grief bandwagon riders..i do feel however that football has actually united itself over Fabrice Muamba and that it is genuine. I am proud that Spurs fans and the club have been praised over this..didn’t ask or want it, but nice to have it anyhow.
    Am so happy we are off to Wembley. We will beat Chelski as well and prob win the cup. And finish top 4.OMG how good will that be? icing on the cherry for me would be west ham not going up.
    of course we have to hope chelski dont beat barca but somehow i cant see it. we r back, playing well. i love a Bale goal, it lifts the whole club, no? COYS

    Coyle to ESPN using phrases such as ‘in a football sense’, ‘in a football context’, and then trying to drag the Pratley injury into somehow ‘having an effect’…

  • skywatcher says:

    ‘Bolton Flatline’ is a type of Private Eye headline which is used in the political arena. HH, is your blog becoming the football equivialent of this ‘on the edge’, ‘controversial’ and informative magazine? I would hope so.

    Boltons’s goalie had a great game…..mind you most of the shot’s were straight at him…..We need a ruthless finisher. First goal this season from a corner?

    Be refreshing to hear people talk about football and NOT have to mention Muambas name. If that makes me evil I think you’ll find most normal people feel t5he same.
