To The Bridge tonight to watch T'Wanderers play a version of Chelsea that is probably not worth the £20 ticket price, except maybe Joe Cole. (Note to burglars in the East London area, Mrs X will be patrolling The Towers, so don't try it). Of little doubt is that The Reebok's favourite Muslim convert ex player won't be playing, although that won't stop those who have made the free trip down from Horwich singing his name.Talking about the game in
"We have got them again on Saturday, so we’ll know all about them by then."
Well, we'll know about Joe Cole.
Also taking to the
"They are playing really well and maybe they’ll change a few players"
Like ten of them.
And to complete the set, the GSO has bigged up the opposition, as per usual, in this case saying about Carlo Ancelotti.
"He isn’t one of these managers who shouts from the rooftops how wonderful he is. He just gets on with a really good job. He’s a class act."
Which would mean that, after his comments on Friday, Gaz considers himself an under class.
Swine Flu alert in the London Lite last night. No, not an alert to the fact that some of Bolton's player have/had the virus, but a cunning pun on those of our London cousins who may not be aware of T'Wanderers nickname.
So, how does The Towers feel about the game. There is a definite chance here, a full team shoud be able to stick it up a Chelsea reserve side. They're certainly not a bad side, they wouldn't be playing for Chelsea if they were, and hands should be snapped off if they came up for sale. However, they aren't a side like Trafford's reserve side and we expect a victory, although probably in extra time, which may make the price of the ticket worthwhile. 3-2 anyone.
Finally, a quick word for another Bolton blog, affiliated to The Offside. A match report without watching the match and actually playing rugby? Some of us dragged ourselves out of bed on Monday morning after a night shift to watch the repeat of Football First. Some people are just part time.
