And not just because he says so. Well, alright, maybe it is partly because he says so but results don't lie and we are glad to say that this weeks ABM-(Anyone But Megson)-O-Meter lies at a healthy 68%. As in, 68% of the time I still don't want him managing my club. Better than the 120% it was two months ago.
Whilst lying in some sort of stupor and keeping up with yesterday's game on the BBC website I could not but help notice that the words Jaaskelainen and Save were mentioned in the same sentence quite a lot. It would appear therefore that some sort of defensive cover is needed, or he could just save money and put last seasons back four together again.
So, after the praise of last week, how did Monday's papers reflect yesterday's game?
Bolton set the tone by attacking from the off. They could have been two up in five minutes as their route-one approach carved chances for Tamir Cohen and Kevin Davies. The Currant
OK then......
There was an air of inevitability that they would concede and Bolton made the breakthrough with a patient and well-executed goal. The Mirror
Far more like it....
It was not the first time Moyes’ side had been caught out by a typically direct Bolton attack. The Nazi
Errr....?
Bolton Wanderers' stubborn victory over Everton The Tory
(On the first goal) It was no more than Bolton deserved. The Times
Gary Megson completed two years as Bolton's manager, and for most of that time he has been about as popular as flatulence in a lift. The Guardian, as always, gets to the truth.
Of course, the one thing they all focused on was that Ivan Klasnic has had two kidney transplants (although The Times mentions the spitting at John Terry but misses the probability that the virtuous Terry punched Klasnic in the lower back.). Now that he has scored his first goal, let's hope that that is the last time we hear about it. Doubtful, especially if he scores in one of the two Chelski games this week.
