So much to catch up on.....

Partly due to the Brothers Gallagher coming on slightly late on Thursday, thereby making it impossible to update anything on Thursday, and then myself and Mrs X being on the road since then, mostly back into Wi-Fi? WTF? country, this is the first update of the week. And when they tried to go back on their ticket refund offer it proved the following moral. Never trust a Citeh fan, especially when he is being backed up by his Citeh supporting brother.

So.....Gary, unsuprisingly, didn't get onto the bench on Saturday. Also unsurpisingly, Matthew Upson didn't cover himself in glory on Saturday. Mystic X predicts that Gary will not be on the bench on Wednesday. We are offering odds of 1-30. DO NOT send money.

Nothing much to say about the Bolton website and the last news that was on the Bolton page on the BBC is..................Manchester City 1 - 0 Bolton. For God's sake, does no news worthwhile bothering the BBC ever come out of the Reebok? I keep on expecting to see newsreel of Nat bundling Harry Gregg into the net to pop up there.

And while we are talking about news on the website, while we get this..... ...to advertise our new home kit, Liverpool fans get this.........to advertise their away kit. I'm not one to go in for this "scouse humour" balls, unless it's a lack of one, but this is quite good.

In other news, the now officially titled "MICHAEL RICKETTS WATCH" finds the former Bolton ace hitman has been sent down for a year. Let's hope Mr Cahill doesn't go the same way in seven years. That's Gary, not Tim who we all know is Australian and has it in his genes.
