Ah well.

In 1993-94 Bolton finished 15th in the ''Championship - or whatever it was then''.

And they say that Robert Chase..............

Oh well, bring on Watford - Aidy & all.

[Norwich R Us 59]

the same season leeds came 5th, wimbledon came 6th, sheffield wednesday came 7th and QPR came 9th.

the premier league was also the home for coventry, southampton, ipswich, sheffield united, oldham and swindon.

 

so, your point is.....?

My simple point is that since those times we have failed big time; and Bolton have succeeded big time.

And it matters little to my point that others have failed too.

It''s also a question of reminding ourselves from time to time of what is possible - and not settling into the comfort zone of just being glad to be alive in the second tier; and in this regard the current owners and board clearly  don''t have either the resources or the real desire for real success.

By the way, I also happen to think that Glenn Roeder will be good for our club. He is a nice and intelligent man with drive and a wealth of useful experience. Certainly a cut above the usual we''ve been landed with in recent years. Whether or not he will get adequate backing to bring the type of real success that I reminded ourselves about I stronlgly doubt - so we must keep up the pressure to try and ensure that he does.

That''s all. See, nothing ''sinister''.[:)]

Bly''s odd posts tend to come across as enigmas to me. Not in a bad way nessessarily but sometimes quite difficult to discuss.

Just part of his character I suppose.

since they have moved grounds, we''ll always hold a record over any other english team, it just gets renamed. we might not be only english team to beat them at home after the game, but we will always be the only english team to have beateng them at the Olympic Stadium :-).

And don''t forget the English National Team beat their German counterparts in the same Olympic Stadium, 5-1

Though I''m not sure what my point is.

Hoof, hoof, hoof, hoof. Ooooh I''m so proud. Ever wondered why our national team is so crap?

[Syteanric 1]

i dont see why people get excited about British Clubs in europe.. it wont benefit us in any way shape or form if one of these sides wins a trophy.. they will just get richer and clog up their side with over paid foreigners whilst ssmaller clubs struggle along and miss out.
