Keegan's Boys vs Big Sam's Spoilers

Ah, those Wanderers won't let us play footie, will they...

As someone said: You can get Sam Allardyce out of Bolton, but you can't...

Nah, never mind. Ancient history that. But it's a fact that Bolton play...errr... a DIRECT game, to put it nicely...

They spoiled the party when Keegan came back, and it almost happened again in the first home league game of the new season...

In a game that just had to be boring, Shay Given again had to do wonders to give the rest of the lads momentum to go forward in a search of the victory.



And it was that man, Owen to build on a marvelous Shay penalty save and get the winner in front of the SJP crowd of 47.000+. After a long time there was less than 50.000 for a fome league game, and I hope it won't happen again anytime soon...

Recently I said that no player is worth 140k per week, but consider how the Newcastle fans feel now and how would they feel had it stayed 0-0 at SJP last Saturday... Now, is that difference worth 140k? Oh, yeah, it is!
