3/5/2008 English Premier League Live - Bolton vs Sunderland

Could Bolton really pull off the miracle of the season by getting all three points yet again in this live commentary English Premier League match between Bolton and Sunderland after having looked dead and buried just a few weeks ago when they could hardly buy a point for all their efforts? Things have come together at just the right time and they have even started enjoying some slices of luck in their previous live game when they managed to come back into it and leaving for home with a point that kept their hopes alive. Another three points from this live commentary and online TV English Premier League match between Bolton and Sunderland for the home side will definitely go a long way to keeping them up especially with the poor form experienced by their relegation rivals.

Things will not be so straightforward for them in this live commentary and live streaming radio telecast English Premier League match between Bolton and Sunderland though as Roy Keane will definitely not allow them to have things so easy and will be sending out a team designed to win and help them at least climb up the table as much as possible. In fact, the two teams might have some parallels in form as Sunderland have also started clicking in recent weeks and by virtue of having been higher up in the table than Bolton, they have managed to secure safety earlier and can breathe a heavy sigh of relief. Gary Megson though will need to keep it going for another two games and this live commentary and live streaming TV broadcast English Premier League match between Bolton and Sunderland has become extremely important for them in hopes to achieve EPL survival and safety.

26/4/2008 English Premier League Live - Tottenham vs Bolton

Can Gary Megson continue to create a miracle for his team and lead them to more victories in this live commentary English Premier League match between Tottenham and Bolton when just less than a month ago they look dead and buried and certainties for the drop with their terrible form which saw defeat upon defeat? Now, the team looks all revved up and are playing with resolve and spirit and could actually condemn the likes of Fulham and Birmingham to the drop if they maintain their good form and attain a third win in a row which will see them put further distance between Fulham and themselves and perhaps send the London club down despite whatever result they achieve against Manchester City today. But before all that happens, they must win this live commentary and online TV EPL game between Tottenham and Bolton in what promises to be a difficult match for themselves as well.

Spurs will not be giving any favours on their own home ground in this live commentary and live streaming radio telecast English Premier League match between Tottenham and Bolton or face their own fans' wrath but they will be comforted by the fact that they have done generally well at home and are free scoring. The likes of Dimitar Berbatov will have to be closely watched by Bolton or the sly Bulgarian will be able to open up their defence easily and expose a can of worms of bad defending. In fact, it would likely be a thrashing by the London side as they have greater firepower and can take advantage of weak defending by the visitors and put a couple of goals past them. Bolton might have to resort to some harder play to keep their hosts in check and if they can do that successfully and nullify the threat of Berbatov and Robbie Keane, they will have a great chance of securing a good result in this live commentary and live streaming TV broadcast soccer match between Tottenham and Bolton and accumulate the necessary points for safety, no matter how many people do not like them.

29/3/2008 English Premier League - Bolton Wanderers vs Arsenal

With internal turmoil reportedly tearing the dressing room apart, can the young Gunners rise above it all in this live online broadcast commentary soccer match between Bolton Wanderers and Arsenal and breathe new life into their title chase? Can Arsene Wenger rally his players to ignore their differences and rubbish the media reports as they rebuild their title ambitions and push Manchester United and Chelsea all the way to the end? There is suspicion that many of the media are trying to disrupt the team harmony by twisting players' words but the lukewarm response the Gunners have towards their captain William Gallas have not helped to quell the rumours, and it is hard to ignore a thirty year old man not behaving in the most professional manner on the field and with his past record of being belligerent, it might not be hard to believe that there might be some truth behind the rumours. However, after playing so well the whole season and with a crucial Champions League quarterfinal on the horizon, Wenger has to quickly bring his troops together to play for a common cause and start believing in each other again, or risk seeing their season fall into ruins.

Bolton themselves are falling fast into oblivion unless they can pick themselves up for this live online broadcast commentary and live TV English Premier League match between Bolton Wanderers and Arsenal, and they will not be expecting any favours from a title chasing side even if this will be at Reebok Stadium where they are strong under normal circumstances but have strangely fallen off the form that they had displayed in the early part of this year. Perhaps the European campaign was a distraction but Gary Megson had often played his second stringers in those matches and rested the first team players. The dangerous scenario of other relegation rivals picking up precious points recently have also sunk Bolton deeper into trouble and it would not be a surprise if they do end up in the English League Championship next season unless they get together and work harder and have less of the player dissent in this live online broadcast commentary and live TV soccer match between Bolton Wanderers and Arsenal, which unfortunately overshadowed their previous game when the attention should have been on a hard earned point but wasted two points in their bid to avoid relegation.

19/3/2008 English Premier League - Manchester United vs Bolton Wanderers

Alex Ferguson has ordered his players to go for goals in this live online radio commentary English Premier League match between Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers with his concern that the title might be decided on goal difference. While the Old Trafford club currently already leads Arsenal by goal difference and can go three points clear with a win today against a relegation struggler, Ferguson is aware of the Gunners' striking threats and does not want to leave anything to chance. After having 13 shots at goal and only scoring the one goal in the win over Derby, Ronaldo will be keen to correct that and end a distinct lack of goals from Manchester United in recent matches. The pair of Rooney and the Portuguese winger have continued to wreck havoc on Premier League defences all season round, but wayward finishing have led to a goals for tally that might have been bigger if not for their wastefulness.

Bolton boss Gary Megson will be turning in his sleep after hearing this and not looking forward to this live online radio commentary match between Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers at Old Trafford as being the away team against the Red Devils would be difficult enough, and now they have to deal with a forward line trying to please their manager and put things right. Bolton looked toothless in their loss to 10 men Wigan, and an untimely loss of form has seen them slip right back near into the drop zone mess. They have also had to endure a setback with news that goalkeeper Juuski will be out for the rest of the season which is a huge and major blow to the team's hopes of staying up, with the first choice keeper a big rock in defence. The main problem with Bolton is a lack of goals and their play has always depended on stout defending based on narrow leads. Without goals, you cannot win matches either, and that is something that Gary Megson has to desperately try to change in time for this live online radio commentary match between Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers in the English Premier League.

13/3/2008 - Sporting Lisbon vs Bolton UEFA Cup 2nd Leg

It is now obvious that Bolton boss Gary Megson has no intention of spending too much time on this live online commentary UEFA Cup second leg tie between Sporting Lisbon and his Bolton team with a relegation six pointer on Sunday against Wigan. The priority has to be given to the league as Bolton would have to endure less financial security and revenue if Bolton were ever to lose its top flight status. Megson has stated that chasing European success would be great if the club were in a more comfortable position at home, but given the huge potential losses of EPL money were Bolton to be relegated, it would hurt the club in the long term. To illustrate his point, Megson has decided to leave 12 of his first team players at home. This basically means that Bolton will be fielding a second string team against Sporting Lisbon tonight, which usually leads people to believe that they will not have a chance of getting through the rest of the tie.

However, analysing Bolton's performances in the previous rounds of the UEFA Cup would lead one to realise that some of their better results had been earned in similar circumstances such as the one they have walked into for this live online commentary match against Sporting Lisbon. If Sporting Lisbon coach Paulo Bento were to think this game would be a walkover after seeing the lineup, he would be well advised to think twice and have a look at Bolton's matches against Bayern Munich, Red Star Belgrade and Atletico Madrid, where they fielded decidedly weakened teams and still returned home with surprising results. This can happen if you consider that the second stringers would normally not get to play in the English Premier League and would seize the chance in Europe to shine. Not only does it put you in the reckoning for the subsequent games in the season, you can also raise your own stock in the transfer market if required. But how long this positive spin can continue for Bolton remains to be seen, and they would have to be at their very best again for this live online commentary UEFA Cup match against Sporting Lisbon in Portugal in order to have any hope to progressing further.

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.

EPL 9/2/2008 - Bolton vs Portsmouth

After the protracted Benjani transfer saga, Portsmouth will look forward to putting it all behind them and concentrate on getting another three points in this live commentary and play by play English Premier League soccer match against Bolton, away at Bolton and in their best element. Portsmouth is a machine playing away from home as they have been getting good results generally despite stuttering at home due to a lack of goals at Fratton Park. Away from home, Portsmouth have been doing well and they will look to pint sized Jermaine Defoe again for the goals. Defoe is a player who will always do well at club level but smothered at international level due to a lack of desire. A skilful and talented player, Defoe is a good capture for Portsmouth and he will look to display that value again tonight in this live commentary and radio broadcast English Premier League game against Bolton, as Harry Redknapp attempts at another weave of his magic wand.

Bolton on the other hand continue to surprised many with Gary Megson at the helm and will look to continue a decent run of form in this live commentary and TV telecast game at their own home ground. Since Gary Megson reinstated some of Bolton's regular players under Sam Allardyce, the steely edge has returned and they are back to playing their best football - that of being aggressive and sometimes dirty, by taking opposing players out with bully tactics and pumping long balls continously in attempts to unsettle them. It might seem that Megson has done a good job and has great managerial skills, but in actual fact, he is just stealing from Allardyce's system and doing nothing different. Which is what Sammy Lee did wrong. If Megson continues with this and Bolton stays in the English Premier League, you might see the ginger haired mourinho a bit more often but he will get found out sooner or later.

Portsmouth plays the prettier football and they look favourites to snatch all three points in this live commentary and radio broadcast English Premier League match between Bolton and Portsmouth. However, Bolton have been playing with more confidence and like I said, if they continue with the same dirty tactics, they should be able to gain the upper hand against many opponents, not least a team like Portsmouth. So before you chock it up as another away win for Portsmouth, think again. It is likely that this live commentary and TV telecast soccer match between Bolton and Portsmouth in the English Premier League will end in a draw.

EPL 2/2/2008 - Reading vs Bolton

As we continue to have to watch one of the dirtiest and ugliest football team in the English Premier League at the moment in this live commentary and play by play game featuring Reading and that team Bolton Wanderers, you wonder if Gary Megson can continue to drag the team down in a marriage made in heaven. A money grubber of a manager and a football team devoid of any pretty football played in their ground ever since Sam Allardyce came onboard. That should have changed when they got players like Nicolas Anelka on board but unfortunately it is more about a system than football at Bolton and you cannot blame them either since survival had to be the priority and not spectacle. But if you looked at the players they had to offer it would have been a shock as quite a number of them could play on the ground and not just jumping around like jack rabbits trying to put head to ball instead of feet to ball. Still, you could not argue too much against the system since it provided results until Allardyce decided that money from being a manager was not enough and that transfer bungs might have been more attractive.


Reading on the other hand might have even more to prove in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the English Premier League against Bolton Wanderers. Both are struggling against relegation and you would sincerely hope that Reading would stay while Bolton should return to the lower divisions. Reading plays nice decent football on the ground and always try to score more than the one goal that Bolton prefers. However Steve Coppell has struggled with the remaining band of players he had left after a few of them decided that money was more important and took off to other clubs where most of them are struggling now anyway. Coppell is sticking to his guns and insisting that his team stick to the basics and while the footballing neutral would hope that they can stay in the English Premier League, it might seem hard to do so given that they have not brought in any great players during this transfer window and do not seem to be improving that much either recently.


You would expect a tough Reading win in this live commentary and TV telecast English Premier League soccer match featuring two strugglers Reading and Bolton but it might not be as simple and straightforward as that. Bolton continue to be tough to break down and beat but the advantage playing against them is that they do not score that many either and now with Anelka gone they might struggle to put away the few chances they create in each game. Reading can score as proven by their high scoring feasts against other teams, but it is a question of whether they know how to stop opponents from scoring and they must try to do that if they hope to take anything away from this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer game in the English Premier League match against Bolton at home.

EPL 29/1/2008 - Bolton vs Fulham

We are still waiting to see Gary Megson take flight and leave Bolton when another big money move arrives but it probably would not happen until he has brought Bolton down to the Championship and that might continue to happen in this live commentary and play by play soccer match in the English Premier League against Fulham. Unfortunately, this match is against Fulham who look set to join them in the Championship as well as Hodgson obviously is not going anywhere as well with his tactical genius and the club has continued to lose game after game despite the man coming in and wasting some more of the owner's money. But the balance of the game lies in Gary Megson's favour as he still has more or less the nucleus of Sam Allardyce's squad with him and if he can get them to have some professional pride then they probably can return to playing dirty and rough and win some games and avoid relegation.

You cannot say the same thing about Fulham. One of the players mentioned about going back to playing proper football when Hodgson arrived to replace the previous manager whose name no one can remember anyway, and the next thing you know Hodgson has them stringing 9 men across goal to try to stop conceding 5 goals a game in every live commentary and radio broadcast game instead of trying to score a few to avoid losing, but he is more interested in not losing by more than 2 goals a game to get the club in shape. That is the philosophy of Roy Hodgson as a soccer manager so Fulham should not expect too much and they might be ready to drop down a division if they are not careful.

Still, the one saving grace that Fulham has is Jimmy Bullard and he might start his first game since his horrific injury and help guide the team to their first English Premier League win in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match for ages if everything goes well. But the more obvious result would be for Bolton to bully their way to a win but Fulham might just surprise since Bullard is back and I like their chances in this game. The best possible spin would be a low scoring draw in this live commentary and radio broadcast English Premier League soccer match but we shall see what happens between Bolton and Fulham tonight.

EPl 19/1/2008 - Newcastle vs Bolton

This must be the live commentary and play by play live radio broadcast and tv telecast that everyone is waiting for tonight in the English Premier League (EPL) between Newcastle and Bolton. It is the second coming of the Newcastle messiah Kevin Keegan after having been appointed the new Newcastle manager and all fans on Tyneside and waiting in anticipation and bated breath for the return of beautiful football as how it is supposed to be played - fantasy attacking soccer with the intention to score more goals than the opposition to win instead of scoring one and defending like your life depends on it which is not what Newcastle fans want to watch after paying their hard earned money after a long week at work. They want to be entertained and so do we football fans and Kevin Keegan is the man for the job. Even though he has shown time and again his naivety in modern football but the man knows what the fans want and that is beautiful attacking football with lots of goals and drama.

Bolton will be at the end of the stick and in this live commentary and radio broadcast they will have no chance against the Mighty Mouse Kevin Keegan. Even though Newcastle misses multiple key players out through suspension and international duty from the African Nations Cup but I believe Keegan has the motivational prowess and skill to galvanise his squad and he might have pulled a masterstroke by naming Michael Owen as captain. You never know if it might work but who knows anyway it might be the move that actually finally revives the little man's flagging career and injury problems. Let us hope and pray that we see Owen inspired and play to his potential again by leading Newcastle to a resounding win over Bolton.

I have nothing much to say about Bolton they are a hardworking team and hard to beat but Gary Megson is a manager and man that most fans hate because you know he is only out for money. He left his previous club after only a very very short time there because Bolton offered him more money. You can bet Bolton will do their best to spoil the party tonight but I hope not and that Newcastle fans will come out in numbers and roar their team to victory. In fact, I do hope Bolton goes down only because you hate to play against a spoiling team like them and you will see that in full view again during the live commentary and live telecast game tonight between Newcastle and Bolton.

EPL 13/1/2008 - Bolton vs Blackburn

Make no mistake about it, during this live commentary and radio telecast live play by play, there would be much mention of Bolton's ex-manager Sam Allardyce who left the club amidst a cloud of problems and who said Bolton could not go any further. While results after that would provide weight to his words, the soccer club would definitely be gloating that their ex-manager could not bring his career any furhter as well, after being sacked this week by Newcastle. Maybe he could not replace Mark Hughes at Blackburn if the Welshman is approached for the Newcastle job which would complete a fantastic soccer merry go round but Hughes would be mad to do so. Why you ask? Because he is a purveyor of tough uncompromising football for results only and fancy play later and that does not provide you with any job security at Tyneside. Unless you can afford players like Ronaldo and Tevez then you worry about whether your football is beautiful, otherwise results first. No results, no job.

Now, this match analysis and preview of the EPL 13/1/2008 game between Bolton and Blackburn will be very straightforward. I do not rate Gary Megson at all as a manager and he has been known to lose control of his team and players and is a moneygrubber at the end of the day. He'll up and leave for another high paying job even if he has only been at the present one for 1 day. He has never brought much success to any club except disappointment and relegation at the end of each tenure. While Bolton might have improved slightly recently, I am going for Blackburn to give themselves a kick up the backside and provide more resistance and results compared to last week when they were booted out of the FA Cup at home against who knows which team. Now Mark Hughes is a decent manager, but his tenure has been marked by streaks instead of real consistency, so it is high time the team went into a unbeaten run again.

We will find out more during the live commentary and live telecast of this game between Bolton and Blackburn, that is if any one really is interested to find out. There aren't that many fans of both clubs, and if there are, they are usually sorry fans who have little choice since they were born in those areas or when Blackburn actually won the EPL title several years back.

Odds For Spurs To Join Bolton In English League Championship in 2008?

We all know how it will still end for Bolton come May 2008 (or earlier). Gary Megson is not EPL managerial material, no matter how much his new chairman Phil Gartside is going to fund his little new adventure. Who was the last good player he bought? I have my fullest sympathies with Bolton fans who must have woken up to another new nightmare last Friday.

What of Spurs and their new bright hope Juande Ramos? Can the Spanish head honcho turn the club's fortunes around now and bring success that his new chairman Daniel Levy so craves? Or will he be the subject of humiliation come the end of the season ala Martin Jol?

We all know the real reason why Jol was cut from the Lane - he failed to deliver Champions League football and more importantly, any trophies. Levy's treatment of the big man was certainly uncondonable, but if you have spent your own fortunes without any results, you are certainly entitled to some discretion in how you wish to handle club matters.

Ramos arrives at Spurs on the back on an impressive CV with Sevilla. But will he be given enough time to arrest the slide currently at the club before putting his own spin for future improvement and success? How long will Levy wait this time?

Both men also have strong personalities, with Ramos constantly embroiled in feuds with his ex-Sevilla boss, and Levy not shy of heavy-handed tactics to bring his point across. I rub my hands in eager anticipation for the first flash point these two men will have.

And given the mediocre squad that Ramos stands to inherit, it will take more investment from his chairman to fix any imbalance the team currently faces. Granted many of the players are suffering from distinct lack of confidence, but that midfield is not top 4 quality. Berbatov is developing into another Thierry Henry and his head continues to swell. To have publicly rebelled against his under-pressure ex-manager was about as unprofessional as a player could get, given the situation the club was in. Nobody should be bigger than the club, and if Berbatov felt his interests better served at Manchester United, it would be well-advised to release him come January.

Ledley King continues to face time on the sidelines, but the defence urgently require him back. It would be interesting to see if Ramos would pry Daniel Alves away from Sevilla, but the player excels more as an attacking quantity. What Spurs needs now are stabilising influences in all areas of the field.

Ramos will need some time, but it might not be something that he will have in abundance. The season might still be young, but continental managers, especially someone still unproven as Ramos, often need time to settle in. Just like players. Can anyone remember what happened at Portsmouth and to a certain extent, Rangers in Scotland last season?
