Hopeless...Utterly, Utterly Hopeless

So, the good thing about having a blog is I now have a place to put my rants regarding anything. Usually Bolton Wanderers. Which brings me to a riddle. What do you call an intelligent thought in the Reebok Stadium? Whatever you want, it's not like there's ever one there. It wasn't meant to be funny. Most factual statements aren't. Arguing with a Bolton fan is pointless. When you start, they make a moronic statement quicker than you can say "Megson out." (and it usually is) Allow me to elaborate. I shall now quote a phone call from BBC GMR with a Bolton fan...
"Gubbins: It's alright playing one man up front against United and trying to snatch a draw, but on paper Fulham are an average side like us. If we're playing them at home, we should be playing 4-4-2, we might win.
Alan Gowling: We WERE playing 4-4-2.
Gubbins: Yeah, but it doesn't work."

That, boys and girls, is your average Bolton fan. Words haven't been invented yet to describe such idiocy. When Fulham scored their 3rd, after the imminent boos, I was the only person still sat in my seat in a 6 or 7 seat radius. They'd headed for the exits. And then there's the ones booing O'Brien cos he (as well as Jussi. A fact overlooked) made a mistake which lead to their first. And then there's the chap on the stairs after the match. He said to his mate saying summat about the club being in the shit. 11th? Is that the shit? There's 6 teams below us still safe as it is. We need 7 clubs to get 4 more points than us. Unlikely. Idiots.

Then there's the ones saying he should have picked Puygrenier or Shittu over O'Brien. Last week, Puygrenier was "unfit and dodgy" and Shittu was "As his name suggests (lol... the wit of some people is too much to bear sometimes. Arse.) the worst defender I've seen in a Bolton shirt." Ergo, they'd have picked AOB before any of them. Wouldn't mind if what they've said is true, neither. Fair enough with Puygrenier, but he looks like he can defend and get the ball out to a Bolton player. And as for Shittu. He's played 5 league matches for us. In 3 of them, he was one of our best players (Arsenal away, Wigan at home and West Brom at home) and, in fact, I think he won MotM in 2 of them (Arsenal and Wigan... not sure about the latter, but definitely the former) and was by no means a disaster in the other two. But hey, he's got "Shit" in his name, he must be awful. Nat Lofthouse has "house" in his name, so by virtue, he'd be an excellent urban dwelling. I, myself, have "No" in my name, so I must be brilliant at responding in the negative. (I am, but that's neither here nor there)

Just to clarify, not ALL Bolton fans are like this, not even all Megson haters. A small minority (I'm talking in a similar ratio to white people in Bradford) can put forward a coherent argument. But it's a wonder some people are allowed out of the house. Or the home, it depends on just how foolish they are.
