UEFA Cup 13/2/2008 - Bolton vs Atletico Madrid

This live commentary and radio broadcast UEFA Cup soccer match between Bolton and Atletico Madrid will provide a real and stiff test for Gary Megson as a manager and determine if the Bolton fans will finally accept him. When Megson was appointed in place of Sammy Lee, most fans immediately objected to it and were very sure that Bolton would continue to slide with his appointment. However, since then, Gary Megson has done a decent job of making Bolton hard to beat again and in fact they look pretty much like their old selves from back in the past under Sam Allardyce. For the most part, Megson has been flattering to deceive. By recalling most of the players under Sam Allardyce back into the team such as Nolan, he practically has the same team, and deployed the same tactics. So it isn't really that Gary Megson is a good manager, he's just not trying to fix something that ain't broke. Bolton should do just enough to secure safety in the English Premier League.

However, they are facing a decent Spanish side in Atletico Madrid in this live commentary and TV telecast UEFA Cup soccer match, and even though Atletico is not exactly setting their own Spanish Primera Liga on fire, they do have the typical European players who might not have the greatest talents, but are canny enough to outfox many British sides. The one thing going for Bolton would be that they are playing at home, and their vociferous fans will cheer them on to put one over their Spanish rivals. Under such circumstances, you could say that Atletico Madrid might just crack and buckle in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the UEFA Cup, thereby giving Gary Megson a significant achievement in his managerial career and allow him to continue to hoodwink the Bolton management and even perhaps their fans. I'll stick my neck out and say Bolton might actually nick this, although the return leg should be sufficient for Atletico Madrid to turn it around.
