Burnley fan names son after Bolton player blunder

Afternoon and just to prove that my boast of yesterday wasn’t false, here is another article. Cooking on gas or what?

Having said that, there isn’t much going on Bolton wise that wasn’t going on yesterday. Photos of Petrov and Blake have appeared holding their new shirt, although hopefully we can stretch to getting one each before the season starts, as well as the players starting pre season training. Going through the pictures, most look in fine fettle, although the photo of Nicky Hunt leaning on Cahill and Blake as if he’s struggling for air would appear to suggest too much sangria over the summer, or wherever he’s been since 2005.

Speaking to the press, Petrov mentioned his injury problems before going on to thank the physio, and only the physio, at Citeh. According to him there was a lack of communication at Eastlands before his departure. If this is true, there really shouldn’t be any surprise. Petrov cost them a bit of money, but not the amount that would cost the Sheikhs’ any sleepless nights about losing. Any club that could dispense of Mark Hughes in the shabby way they did ‘Yes Mark, of course you’ll be here for years‘ one minute, ‘Sorry Mark, please accept this massive payoff‘ the next wouldn’t really worry about a player they haven’t seen since February and who looks more like one of the Sheikh’s bodyguards anyway. Or a James Bond henchman.

Grandad Robbie has also spoken to the press about his move and has admitted that he leaves Burnley with a heavy heart. But not as heavy as the parents of the tot who, for some unbeknown reason, decided to name their son after the player when he scored THAT goal against Stretford last season. You have to feel sorry for little Robbie-Blake Moore, but not as sorry as you have to feel for his older brother, Bret-Taylor, named after Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart. If there was a chance that words could fail me, this would be the time. But I’ve seen some stuff man, I’ll tell you.

Players that we will not be signing this season, according to St Owen include Juan Roman Riquelme and Ilan. So you can add them to the list that already includes Kaka, Messi, Robben and Fabregas. At 32, Riquelme may have been a good signing, if not for the fact that he would have wanted more than we are paying the crocked Bulgarian, and as for Ilan, if he’s not good enough for my local team, who are quite frankly pants, why would we want him?

I’ll say goodbye for now as I have to go and meet Mrs X in a bar near Liverpool St. to watch what should be the game of the World Cup so far, because my life is just one big rollercoaster.

Until tomorrow.
