He's even happy to pose with other clubs shirts that have his name spelt wrong.

Do we think it because we're 'diehard' or because we've sat through every minute of every game with him in charge, we've witnessed his attempts at sorting things and it was clear to all of us 'diehards' that he didn't have a clue how to operate at a bigger club with a bigger budget and bigger expectations, now I know being a Bolton fan you probably don't have very high expectations so you were happy to put up with some of the dullest football known to man but you can't blame other clubs for not wanting to sit through similar. In some ways I hope Allardyce does take the Blackburn job, not just so we can shift the dross like Alan Smith but so people can see for themselves what a useless fat ###### he is rather than playing the delusional Geordie's card.

I thought you would have done a better job of pulling his post apart since you blamed it all on Newcastle for screwing it all up.

I think a lot will depend on what happens with the Dabo case and how much jail time he gets for that if he's found guilty, even if the club do sack him he won't be available on a free as they will keep his registration so that they can ask for compensation if anyone wants to sign him (like Chelsea did with Mutu) He was poor under Allardyce but he was getting played on the wings so fat Sam could accommodate Alan Smith in midfield, he's looked much better under Keegan though and he's played a big part in making the new formation work by the amount of ground he covers over the left side of the pitch, I think Keegan will push to keep him.

I don't think it is, he was slagging Allardyce off over how unfit the squad was and how Keegan has got them back to full fitness, he still lacks that extra spark to go past people though, even when coming off the bench and going up against a tired fullback he's shown nothing to suggest he's capable of beating a man. He's only had one really good game for us in the 2 years he's been here and that was against some part timers in Europe, apart from that he's been average.

Fitness isn't Duff's problem, he's lost that explosive edge he used to have and struggles to go by anyone anymore, I don't think he'll ever get that back.

When he signed for Newcastle we all hoped he'd find the form from his Blackburn/early Chelsea days but that hasn't been the case, he's been nothing short of awful and our turnaround in form happened when Keegan kicked him and Smith out of the team, all his pace has gone and he struggles to get past anyone anymore. N'Zogbia is a far better player than him now.

Viduka has apparently verbally agreed to join us (Newcastle) so I'm not sure if the club would still be interested in Nonda. The story is originally from the Newcastle evening chronicle.
