So the mighty Reds are actually staking their claim this year, so many times over the last 4-5 years i've thought "maybe we'll actually challenge for the premiership" and now we're looking the goods. Winning 2-3 over Man City when they've got the deepest pockets in the sport at their home AND after being 2-0 down is an awesome result and i really think the player have the belief, the key will be whether they can maintain this over the whole season and the games against the like of Chelski, Arsenal, and Man U must yeild points.

Torres you are a star!

    Good to see another Bolton fan on here.

    Good win over the Hammers last night. Good to see us play some decent football. Matty Taylors strike was a cracker.

    Up the Wanderers, ey Condemned.

    Taylors goal was awesome!

    I have had fun giving it to my mates over the green howler :lol:

    I fell asleep for 15 minutes and they had slammed on 3 goals, could not believe it.

    Half time for Bolton Vs Blackburn 0-0, Bolton have been the better team but we have not capitalized, pissing down rain so the game is a bit sloppy and people are falling down all over the shop.

    Come on you whites!

    Ironic a Melbourne supporter laughing at someone else for being last, but yes, I go for Spurs.

    Anyone see their 95th minute penalty attempt? Off one upright, rolled across the goalline hit the other upright, then bounced out, another Stoke guy had a shot at goal, drilled it into the crossbar

    2 points from 8 games...better be careful Spurs or you'll be playing at places like Southampton, Norwich or Preston...at least there will be a few local derbies against Crystal Palace, Charlton and QPR

    Martin Jol must be wearing a very wry smile

    Heard a joke the other day...What's the difference between Tottenham and a triangle???

    The triangle has 3 points

    Go Gunners!...3-1 V Everton

    I still fail to see how we have a good team.

    We lost three A grade strikers, and replaced them with rubbish. Losing in the process a few average-good midfielders, who whilst were not world class, always seemed to know how to scrap through games and understood the EPL gameplay.

    I can't really see it changing before January, interestingly we're two wins away from being clear of the drop zone and it would all be forgotten. But again, i can't see it happening. Think we have Arsenal next, woohoo.

    Not sure abotu Ramos, the squad isn't really his fault, though i miss the days of Jol when our team produced so many good English kids, and about 3-4 England Internationals

    Yea True, but it's not as if your a bottom team, you actually do still have some quality their.

    Oh and i bet Jol has a nice big smirk on his face, considering how he is doing at Hamburg aswell

    Ah well we'll just have to wait and see

    Well half our points this season came after being a goal down at the Bridge, HALF! So i guess you never know

    1-1 at half time in the NUFC v Man City.

    Rob styles is back to his best decision making, sending Beye off and giving a penalty to city for a cleary fantastic tackle that got the ball and missed the player.

    How this hack gets a game as a ref is beyond me.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
