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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
