Speak On It: The Prem's final day
By Jack | May 11th, 2008Come in, have a laugh (at United's expense). Got something to say, say it here as Chelsea attempts to pull off a miracle. Is Chelsea about to lift some more plastic? ...
Episode 22: Superclásico, Ligue 1 and Premiership Roundup
By Ian Rose | May 8th, 2008It's that time of the week again, and after a week of technical glitches that made me very nearly give up on the computer altogether, we are back with Pod episode 22. Joining me for this one are Christian Reyes, who is still licking his wounds a bit ...
Fulhamerica, **** Yeah!
By Ian Rose | May 3rd, 2008(Note: A little something for the ladies, courtesy of Brian McBride. If you're going to make a post with this many goal differential numbers in it, you need to add in some eye candy to get some butts in the seats.) The lyrics to the above-referen ...
Will the Alonso brothers face off in the Prem?
By Ian Rose | April 5th, 2008Footballers' brothers often find a way to wriggle their way into the news. I don't think there are enough stories about famous players' sisters to institute a BAS of the Week column quite yet, but we'll keep an eye on it. Ronaldinho is represen ...
Running Up That Hill
By Abby | March 29th, 2008It was the stereotypical wet afternoon in the North, in conditions that my wimpy American self, used to rain delays and stadiums with roofs, couldn't imagine sitting in, much less playing football in. In the worst form Arsenal had been in ages it was ...
Rangers and Sporting move on to quarters
By Ian Rose | March 13th, 2008With a fantastic individual performance by keeper Allan McGregor, Rangers have moved on to the UEFA Cup quarterfinals over Werder Bremen 2-1 on aggregate. A late goal in Lisbon for Sporting CP also put them over a toothless Bolton 2-1. So, the last ei
Round of 16 First Leg Wrap-up
By Ian Rose | March 7th, 2008Anderlecht 0-5 Bayern Munich Wow. This always looked like a lopsided tie, but I didn't expect this. With ten goals in their last two European matches, and five different scorers in today's match, Munich is starting to look like the favorite everyone wa
Bolton 1 - 3 LFC
By CSD | March 2nd, 2008Boo-Ya! Every once in a while The Crystal Ball is wrong--OK, every time, but thankfully it was wrong in a good way today. I would say that this was a surprise win, but with the team's current form, it shouldn't have been. But like I said before, we
Bolton Preview
By CSD | March 1st, 2008As I sit here drinking a beer before work (yes, I'm that guy), I can't help but be a bit worried about tomorrow's match. Why you ask? Torres is on fire. We have pretty much everyone returning from injury. What could be a better time to squash Bolton?
The UEFA Cup "league table"
By Ian Rose | February 23rd, 2008I got to thinking last night about different ways to talk about the 16 remaining teams in the UEFA Cup. Which side really is the favorite? What has their form been like? I decided it might be interesting to look at the last 16 UEFA Cup teams as a leagu

Anelka: Still Le Sulking
By Jack | January 10th, 2008The Nicolas Anelka transfer saga continues to drag on, with no significant news surfacing so far today. The last word was that St. Nic had repeatedly demanded the Bolton suits sanction a move to Chelsea. According to his agent, Doug Pingisi, the forward a

D-2, There's no need to worry...
By Magnusson | December 10th, 2007Okay. Apparently nobody is expecting us to win Tuesday night at the Vélodrome against Liverpool. I get it, they seem super strong, they have world class players and we once again will have to face a lot of injuries. Maybe not alot but some crucial one

If My Predictions Are Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right
By Greg | October 25th, 2007When it comes to football, I consider myself a Vulcan in a human being's body. I'm logical, level headed, and can tend to be pretty condescending when it comes to discussing the game. However, when applying this same Vulcan-esque level of wit and logic
UEFA Cup Group F Preview
By Ian Rose | October 19th, 2007We are almost through the previews, and there's only a week or so until I can start tallying up exactly how many games I got wrong. The sixth of the eight groups, Group F, includes nearly everyone's favorite for the Cup, as well as a struggling English s
Super Frankie Lampard
By Andy | October 15th, 2007Frank Lampard came on as a second-half substitute for England against Estonia on Saturday and was booed. Not for the first time and I am sure until Super Frank retires from representing the England national team it won't be the last time. Why is Fr

Bolton 3 - Reading 0: Yikes
By Rob | August 27th, 2007Well, the first game of the year I didn't get to watch, and it looks like that was a good thing: spared myself a lousy start to my weekend. I was hoping to get a download of the game (or at least of Match of the Day) before I commented, but my usual back-
El-Hadji Diouf "Interested" By Lyon
By Inara | August 6th, 2007Ewww. Apparently ex-Liverpool flop, chronic spitter, and possible wife beater El-Hadji Diouf is interested by the prospect of playing for Lyon. Diouf, who plays for Bolton, came up against Lyon two weeks ago during the Peace Cup final - which Bolton lo
Lyon Win Peace Cup
By Inara | July 21st, 2007Hard to believe, I know. But somehow Lyon broke their "Bottling Up Big Matches" curse and actually won a final. Granted, it's the Peace Cup, not the Champions League, but considering the fact that Lyon were the runners-up in the previous two editions
Anfield Banter: Babel babble begins, Xabi's bro Bolton bound, Fergie annoyed, Amoo captured, A Valiant God?, Reds TV, Hammill's no Bhoy, Gerrard excited yet cautious, & Houllier's back?
By Brian | July 11th, 2007* Plenty of stuff to go over and none of it has to do with the Amy Winehouse & Pete Doherty tour of drunken terror. First off, the Babel talks have begun and I'm assuming it's contract talks since the clubs have already agreed in principle to a trans
