Brilliant. I have never heard that one, but just like in English, there are plenty of insults and slang terms around. I only know a few, but some of them are very funny.

I haven't read all of your posts, although probably a large portion of them to be honest. You may have mentioned it before, but I didn't know you were a Ref. As I am studying Spanish, I now realise why you have that username. It must have been brilliant to have been stood next to Shearer that night and see him react to the song. Once it a lifetime type of experience no doubt.

He does have another couple of years at championship level under his belt now and with his headless chicken reputation, fits in nicely with our owners.

Yes I would imagine so, but this Anderson guy, doesn't seem to worry too much about that, as he was deemed fit and proper.

Seems that Bolton have now missed paying pension contributions for their staff too.

Its on Sky Red button, not I Follow, tonight.

Venky's account trust for retired violin players or for short VAT fiddler's.

Jason Lowe will do, as he will have missed covering every blade of grass on our pitch.

All these Cotes around, make it a bit confusing. Bolton certainly seem to have no coat and no knIckers for that matter and their caterers have withdrawn their services, due to the debt the club owe them.

After the first 6 games in league one, last year, I think people thought it would take a miracle to get us promoted. Mowbray achieved that miracle and I would say he deserved credit for that, after the torrid time we have had. He is obviously hanging on by his finger nails now, given the current run, but I would imagine he will be given the summer to reassess and 10 games next season, before his position is really under threat.

The guessing game goes on with this. No one knows the true wealth of Venkys and if they are prepared to just carry on pumping money in every year to keep it afloat? One thing for certain, they have never suggested they are prepared to sell, or prepared to write off the loans they have made and until they do, we have to assume they will carry on underwriting it.

If we don't beat Bolton at home, we deserve to go down, but even then we won't. Bolton are worse than Wigan and will be down by the time they come to Ewood. add to that, the fact that their players haven't been paid and have been on strike and you have a nailed on 3 points. They lost at home to rock bottom Ipswich on Saturday and will probably lose to Boro at home tonight.

I can see one of the teams ending with nil.

It says it all really that Ken Anderson passed their fit and proper and it is looking like Bassini, is being lined up to be their next owner. Some very fit and proper people around our game.

I have a mate who is a Wigan fan and he is convinced they are going down. It might be worth a punt at 7/1 but I think Rotherham will go.

I have worried about what you state in your last sentence, from the very beginning, with these owners. Lots of stuff has never made sense and I immediately think back to the likes of Salgado being left out and Nelsen being on traction one minute and playing for Spurs the next.

On the basis that the bookies never get it wrong, here are the latest relegation odds, taken from the Sky bet website. Rotherham 4/5, Reading 9/4, Wigan 7/1, Millwall 10/1, Birmingham 40/1, QPR, 40/1 and Rovers 500/1. For anyone really worried, £50 on that should settle the nerves.

No that I want us to, but I think we could lose all of our remaining games and still not go down. Ipswich and Bolton are already gone and I can't see Rotherham, getting 48 points from where they are.

Bolton have Boro at home on Tuesday and Derby away on Saturday. They could be coming to Ewood already relegated. The big questions is, will we have suffered another two defeats by then. I don't fancy us at Forest on Saturday and Derby at home could go either way.

EFL have been made aware of fans not being allowed into their stadium and have stated that they are working with the club, to ensure the games still go ahead. https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/17544947.wanderers-fans-will-not-be-allowed-in-stadium-for-next-two-games/

Looks like this with Bolton's stadium being closed is irreversible and it is the next two games, V Ipswich and Boro. they are also in court again tomorrow, facing a winding up order and their potential buyer has pulled out, again. It is looking pretty serious for them.

I can't help but think of Myles Anderson, when I read this. I hope Balaji isn't on Sky Sports news any time soon, crying that this guy was hounded out by the fans, without being given a chance, as he is good enough for any premier league team, bar the top four!!!

Its a pointless exercise calling the National Radio stations. I once called Talk **** after we had beaten Sunderland at home and moved out of the bottom 3 briefly. They hardly let me get my point across about King Rat and his management. I stated that I would guarantee relegation and the presenters were gushing about him and blaming the fans for the abuse he was getting. They were insisting that he was doing a good job in the circumstances and would keep us up. I don't recall them calling me back to apologise, after we did go down as I predicted.

They probably are a bit at fault and possibly stupid too, but who knows what has gone on behind the scenes? I did read something about Dale Vince trying to keep the lad, as he was their top scorer, but his head had been turned and it was the last day of the loan window. I guess it is the usual, money talks, the grass is greener and all that, but on this occasion, dark forces appear to have been at work. I also think he was near the end of his contract too, so could have gone for nothing in the summer.
