[RoyalJames101]

The comeback is on.

[Simon's Church]

lolz Lampard hat-trick. I don't think it gets more embarrassing that that.

[Big Foot]

Fair play Fat Frank

i wonder if gartside's patience will hold out for another month. bolton haven't had an easy start and have lost some key players, and they don't have a big enough squad to take that. having said that some of coyle's signings are disappointing. i mean, ngog! you were always asking for trouble throwing good money away on him; and chris eagles. these are championship signings.

From a Championship transfer budget, one might argue.

you reap what you sow. don't they have debts exceeding £100m as well?

[cmonurz]

It's not owed to banks, in the most part, so not as critical a situation as some. The sale of Cahill in January will help a bit, but other than that the club seems to have little wiggle room left.

Fulham are ripping apart QPR who look awful at the back.

debt to 2010:





as you say their debt is largely owed to their owner, but at a cost of £4.5m per year in interest - a healthy investment by davies.

interesting read and just highlights what a state bolton really are in, and it'll be a lot worse almost 2 years on.

Arsenal look terrible - cant string any passes together and are so open at the back......

Adams, Dixon, Bould and Winterburn they're not

[swansea jack]

2-0 to the Jacks

Would hate to be a Stoke fan if that's how they play every week.

[Thomas L'Heureux]

2-0 to the Jacks

Would hate to be a Stoke fan if that's how they play every week.

It's not. It's how the play after playing in the Europa League on the Thursday before a league game.

Hoofball and ninja style tackling? Could well have had 2 sent off.

[Alan Partridge]

I can't understand how a side with Shaun Derry, Anton Ferdinand, Fitz Hall and Luke Young are so shit defensively.

QPROFL. Spent a ton of money and are still fucking useless.

I h8 Stoke as well, horrible town, pikey fans, always cold, terrible delilah chant, all their players are 6'8 and they just launch it. Grim side, wouldn't watch them if they were playing in the back garden. Board the house up and release the doberman.

2-0 to the Jacks

It's obviously not Their point against the Champions proved that last week, they were tired from the Europa league game no doubt!

Comprehensive to say the least, terrific article.

Another debatable red today, Kris Commons sent off for Celtic after lunging in at the ball.

Lennon hasn't argued with the sending off, its not nearly as debatable as Rodwell's, Its at LEAST a booking.

Also, they were already 1-0 down so it wasn't as game changing.

[cmonurz]

Couldn't really give a toss about the game, I just caught the red card on Sky News. It was a late challenge, but no more than a yellow. Again, one foot on the ground, the other stretching for the ball. You really can't tackle in this game any more.
