I'm the most bored I've ever been following our club. No inspiration, no stand out players, no (decent) signings, a weasel manager who is constantly making excuses for the dross he oversees every week, no passion, no fight, no tactics, yes we have the nicest kit we've had in years but I don't think i'll be going to see it worn in the flesh any time soon unless something changes. YAWN. i'm going to watch the lawn grow, see you soon

Apart from a few European games, the odd Premier League game and a cup run ending in disaster. You have summed up Bolton Wanderers football club since BSA left.

Petrov, did you miss the first half of Owen Coyle's first full season where we never dropped outside the top 8 of the Premier League playing expansive and attacking football? When our players and even manager himself was being linked with the likes of Liverpool and Everton.
You even arrived on this forum saying (BS) that Owen Coyle's brother had told you he was going to Aston Villa? A Bolton manager and players being linked with moves to other bigger Premier League clubs, surely there must have been something going right on the football pitch and with results for this to happen? Or did you miss this as well?

Sorry your right we have had a good half a season.

Thank you!

Petrov's point still stands though. It's been 7 years since BSA left and only 6 months of that was any good

Just to be slightly controversial (Yeah I know)....
Does anyone remember Big Sam's last season with us? Gates were down, survival was assured and the complacency had set in.. There was a certain apathy around the place. Clearly we were kind of getting into a rut, but in hindsight, we'd all love that rut back..
It's just a shame we couldn't survive another couple of years in the premiership with the introduction of the FFP. We would have been forced to sort our finances for the better...
Great article by the way. I'd suggest 95% of Bolton Fans are feeling like you at the moment.

I'm not just bored, I'm angry.
