The twats @ Setanta laughably had the ‘debut’ of Boro/Bolton broadcast at 145a MST…after failing to abstain from the scores all day, we culled some visual interpretations from Bolton battering Boro 1-3
More misery at The Riverside…a nightmarish start coupled with dull and uninspiring finishing resigned Boro to another humiliating failure. The same shit as before; home losses in the last 6 months to inferior Reading, West Brom, and Bolton (effing twice!) sides. This appalling home form marred our most realistic opportunity at a redux of Cup glory. Minus some late match heroics v Stoke by Tuncay, and a late equaliser from Mido against the Hammers, we’d be mired in complete misfortune.
Once again, Gaz was remorseful…so was captain Emanuel Pogatetz, for it was his cynical challenge early on that paved a Bolton advantage. Another quick goal, courtesy of Matt Taylor, doubled the visitors lead and buried Boro further. There were occasional chances, mostly negated by questionable finishing, poor timing, and smart Bolton defending from the likes of Kevin Nolan, who cleared one of two goalbound efforts from Gary O’Neil off the lines at the latest of moments. Jeremie Aliadiere returned to the starting XI with David Wheater, but there was nothing to conjure from the recent run to reject Bolton’s advances.
Stewart Downing made like he was shit for England v Germany…Afonso Alves added to more bust conjecture; is he too high maintenance for a mid-table club like ours? This rash of home inadequacy must end…fucking now…there is a chance to achieve something special and respectable…top half of the table and an outside push for Europe beckon…grab it by the balls, squeeze, and exert your will.
a good place to run and hide from the abject desolation
Valladolid victorious again in the gauntlet, and the 0-0 hurrays spread to Spain as well
