the game yesterday was one of the worst games of football i have seen this season but i couldn't care less because we got the three points despite playing cr@p to be honest. infact i came out of the ground and thought about some of the other poor matches i have seen this season in the premiership and i found out one common denominator.
BOLTON WERE IN THEM ALL.
for that club to even be considered as candidates for a champions league game is an embarassment. the only way they get any success is from set pieces and long throw ins. they have an ability to ruin any match and for long spell yesterday they did that.
anyway back to us.
on a positive note, i thought john welsh had a solid game for his debut and carson looked more solid in goal. also, steve finnan is becoming a superbly consistent full back for us. going forward we created very little, but when you consider there was no hamann, alonso, kewell, cisse, baros or morientes, this was hardly surprising. we didn't even have a recognised striker.
back to within 1 point of the blue sh#te now who have to go to a resurgent west brom. we also picked up no further injuries which was critical ahead of tuesday.
