It was going so well until the stroke of half–time, a clipped heel took Drogba down, Chelsea ahead and The Wanderers down to 10 men.

Little has been reported about Camel Meriem since his trial with Bolton Wanderers Football Club.

Despite his trial with the club and an apparent offer of a two year deal back in April (2009) it seems that Meriem no longer features in Gary Megson's plans.

Camel Meriem may still become a player in the Premier League as he begun a trial with Blackburn Rovers this week.

It was never going to be easy for The Wanderers to get a result at Stamford Bridge but who would have known that it was going to so easy for Chelsea.

Always ready to make a few quid (usually on eBay) Bolton Wanderers have responded quickly to the news outbreak that swine flu is infecting the English Premier League with BWFC branded face masks selling at a reasonable £14.99.

Instead of singing 'stand up if you hate man u' perhaps 'a–choo if you hate swine flu' could be a topical song that could be sung when Bolton travel down south for their League Cup clash against Chelsea.

Former Bolton manager Sam Alladyce revealed that some of Blackburn's players played against Chelsea despite showing some symptoms of Swine Flu. Big Sam is concerned about the virus but The Wanderers' current manager is not perturbed by an apparent outbreak at The Reebok Stadium.

In a statement on the official Rovers website Big Sam said;

"Obviously, we've had two players who have been particularly poorly with it, and we've had a few more that have had something which looked like the symptoms, but they still managed to travel with us and get through the game at Chelsea.

The Wanderers' great start was evened out by the visitors but persistence earned Bolton a late goal and their first three points to be won at The Reebok since April.

While Camel Meriem trains with The Wanderers and Gary Megson announces that he wants to concentrate on Bolton's defence two more players enter the rumour mill.

First of all Rochdale's versatile winger, Will Buckley, who is happy to play as a striker too, has been linked with Bolton Wanderers.

Judging by this photograph there were a few similarities between Bolton's match against Manchester United and Sunderland versus Liverpool. Sunderland beat Liverpool by a single contentious goal in which Darren Bent's shot was deflected by a beach ball.

Zat Knight refused to comment.

An unfortunate start for Bolton's trip to Old Trafford saw The Wanderers chasing for the rest of the afternoon.

There have been a number of rumours about BWFC this week and Gary Megson has spoken out to confirm one and dismiss others.

Gary Megson has denied the recent rumour about his hopes to sign Newcastle United's striker, Alan Smith for Bolton Wanderers. He told the Bolton News,

"I'm an admirer of Alan Smith, he's a terrific player, but there's been nothing because the transfer window is closed.

A roundup of news about Bolton Wanderers players who have been on international duty this week.

Bolton's Lee Chong–yong assisted Ki Sung-yong in getting on the score sheet in the friendly against Senegal in Seoul. Celtic's Sung–yong took South Korea ahead with a shot from 20 metres a few minutes before half–time.

As the nights draw in and leaves fall and while hedgehogs prepare to be burnt alive in bonfires there is one thing that begins to blossom — transfer rumours. Having said that, transfer rumour seem to be more evergreen than biannual.

The latest rumour involves midfielder Camel Meriem, currently at AS Monaco, who is thought to have gained the interest of Megson.

A brief summary of each Bolton Wanderers player who has been on international duty this weekend.

Fabrice Muamba came on for Peterborough United's Danny Rose with 20 minutes to go. Unfortunately Muamba's most notable contribution seems to be that he may have injured Micah Richards when he collided with the Manchester City defender.

While Gary Cahill joins England for their World Cup qualifier against Ukraine we look at which other Bolton Wanderers team members are on international duty.

Jlloyd Samuel was meant to be playing for Trinidad and Tobago but once again he has had to miss out. There is a farce that surrounds Samuel's non–involvement with the Soca Warriors.

Gary Cahill has joined the England squad for training ahead of the contentious yet historic game against Ukraine at the Dnipro Stadium tomorrow (Saturday, October 10, 2009).

He told the official BWFC website;

"It's great to be training alongside players of that calibre, especially with me being a few years behind the centre-backs at the moment.
