Tottenham Hotspur vs Bolton Wanderers, Saturday 17th March 2012, White Hart Lane, 5.30pm
kick off, ESPN & ESPN HD
THFC1882 is pleased to welcome back Adam Nathan for his preview of the FA Cup
Quarter-Final game, a game that could prove to be a pivotal point for the rest of Tottenham's
season.
Ryo Miyaichi sets up Ivan Klasnic's winner. Nice bit of invention for the Arsenal winger on loan
to the Wanderers. Former Red Bulls defender Tim Ream set up Bolton's first goal floating in a
beautifully hung cross from the left which Darren Pratley was able to get his head on ahead of
former Arsenal left back Armand Traore.
Marc Albrighton and Stiliyan Petrov produced the vital goals to deliver Villa's first away win
of the season, but Ivan Klasnic was able to prevent Brad Guzan earning a clean sheet on his first
Premiership start.
It was a much improved performance during the first half, and fans crying out for a 4-4-2 system
will be quick to point out that was the case today with Marc Albrighton on the right and Charles
N'Zogbia on the left.
Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic is facing divorce after his Wife flew in from Germany to find
another Woman's clothes and make-up in her Husband's Manchester flat.
Patrica Klasnic told Bunte magazine:
"Everywhere in his flat were pictures of women and in the wardrobe hung blouses which didn't
belong to me, remainders of make-up everywhere.
He may we be having a fairly decent (though largely unheralded) season, but Bolton striker Ivan
Klasnic is staring down the barrel of a D.I.V.O.R.C.E after his wife flew in from Germany and made
a surprise to his flat in Manchester only to discover a wardrobe full of other women's clothes
and make-up, along with several 'compromising' photographs.
Andrey Arshavin found himself to be the centre of attention in Arsenal's Carling Cup win over
Bolton scoring the equalizer and then setting up Park Chu-Young's first goal since his move from
Monaco in the summer. Some nice finishing there. Fabrice Muamba, an Arsenal academy product opened
Bolton's account after Emmanuel Frimpong coughed up the ball.
Jussi Jaskailanen could have done better with a David Silva shot which he failed to stop
cleanly. However there was no mistaking the quality of the Gareth Barry goal which followed. This
was one in a lifetime because when was the last time Barry and quality were mentioned in the same
sentence?
Week 2 of the Premiership has arrived, although it is no less exciting. This weekend Manchester
City travel to the Reebok, in our first (of many) Northwest derbies of the season. This has been
billed as a top of the table clash, which is technically true as City were the only other club to
win by more than a 1 goal margin, and they also smashed 4 unanswered goals past new promoted
opponents.
Manchester City's march to the Premier League title hit a significant stumbling block over the
weekend with the former league leaders losing 1-0 to Swansea in Wales.
Substitute Luke Moore headed home the game-winning goal just seven minutes from time to give the
Swans a shocking upset.
An analysis by Footy-boots.com have revealed that coloured boots have topped the EPL scoring
charts so far this season, no surprise there then given the outrageous colours on offer to the top
brass these days.
White boot wearers like Robin Van Persie (Adidas Predators), Edin Dzeko (Adidas F50 ), Mario
Balotelli (Nike CTR360 Maestri II ), Yakubu (Nike CTR360 Maestri ) and Daniel Sturridge (Adidas F50
) have racked up 43 goals between them already this season up to today wearing white boots, however
white boots haven't helped Wayne Rooney's scoring touch with the Manchester United striker grabbing
just 1 goal before today out of his nine scored this season so far, with the other eight scored in
blue (Nike T90 Laser ).
When your down at the bottom you need all the luck you can muster and it proved Bolton had it
today, firstly QPR's Clint Hill seen his header clawed back from a yard behind the goal-line by
Bolton keeper Adam Bogdan and to add insult to injury Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic grabbed the
winner in the 86th minute in this relegation six pointer.
Fox Soccer is reporting that Union striker/top scorer/face-of-the-franchise/fan-favorite
Sebastien Le Toux began training with the English Premier League's Bolton Wanderers ahead of a
transfer that will be completed by the end of the week.
As of 12:40 PM, no sources have confirmed this news.
Guardian: Which former player would you bring back to your club?
Paul Scholes and Thierry Henry have returned to former clubs, but which old stalwarts would you
like to make a comeback? After the comebacks of Thierry Henry and Paul Scholes, we asked Premier

In an eventful day of Premier League action, Arsenal, Liverpool, and reigning champions
Manchester United all bounced back from their respective setbacks to win big while Newcastle United
suffered a shocking loss away to lowly Norwich.
The Gunners, who returned home from Greece after a 3-1 thumping at the hands of Olympiakos in
Tuesday night's meaningless Champions League encounter, overcame Everton 1-0 at the Emirates.
WAG Bolts The wife of Bolton striker Ivan Klasnic has revealed she is divorcing him after finding a
wardrobe full of other women's blouses in his Manchester bachelor pad. Patrica Klasnic says she
discovered the clothes and some photos that were not to her liking when she arrived unannounced
from the family home in Germany.
Clive Brunskill/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) Bolton Wanderers have been chasing the signature of
Liverpool's 22-year old French attacker David N'Gog for the last few months, and it looks like he
is finally set to make the move in the next 24 hours.
As the deal has been left late, the Trotters are racing to get it done in time just as Liverpool
is.
Three games, three shades of red. Kenny Dalglish enters the international break with the first
skirmishes of the season behind him and with much to ponder.
That he does so with a revitalized Liverpool breathing hot on the necks of the Premier League's
leaders means a club used to contemplating the existential can consider issues rather more
aesthetic.
Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam scored their first Liverpool goals as the Reds crushed Bolton to
move top of the Barclays Premier League tonight.
The summer signings struck either side of a powerful Martin Skrtel header as the hosts, inspired by
the outstanding Luis Suarez, produced an electrifying performance at Anfield.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish paid tribute to his players after a 3-1 victory over Bolton lifted
them top of the Premier League table.
It is early days in the season and Manchester United and Manchester City will have the opportunity
to go back above the Reds on Sunday, but there has been plenty for the Anfield faithful to get
excited about already this term.
Jordan Henderson scored his first Liverpool goal in a 3-1 win over Bolton Wanderers at Anfield, but
insisted Luis Suarez should take the credit for the victory.
The Uruguayan striker did not manage to join Henderson, Martin Skrtel and Charlie Adam on the
scoresheet, but he posed a constant threat and caused a Bolton defence that included
ÂŁ17million-rated Gary Cahill no end of problems.
Liverpool rose to the top of the Premier League table yesterday with a comfortable victory over
Bolton at Anfield. Goals from Jordan Henderson, Martin Skrtel and Charlie Adam put the Reds firmly
in control of the match, so much in control indeed that when Ivan Klasnic scored an injury time
consolation for the visitors, he barely celebrated.
Liverpool 3-1 Bolton | Premier League match report
When Liverpool last beat Bolton eight months and an eternity ago, the photographs were of the
manger embracing his assistant and the goalscorer with images of a league table that showed the
club had clambered a little further from the relegation zone.
After playing two tightly-contested matches last season Liverpool scored the winners in the 86th
and 92nd minutes respectively Bolton visits Anfield in hopes of continuing what's been an
encouraging start to the season. Liverpool's had all the success in this matchup over the past few
years, winning the last nine, but with two deserved wins and a hard-fought loss to City last
weekend, tomorrow's visitors will arrive expecting to get a result.
Manchester City continues their fine start in the new season by picking up another victory, this
time edging Bolton Wanderers 3-2 at Reebok stadium, a hard fought yet important victory for Roberto
Mancini's side.
Goals from David Silva, Gareth Bary and Edin Dzeko were slightly enough to collect all three
points as the home team only managed to pull two strikes from Ivan Klasnic along with Kevin
Davies.
Goals from David Silva, Gareth Barry, and Edin Dzeko ensured that Manchester City defeat a
resilient Bolton side 3-2 to head to the top of the Barclays Premier League.
Entering Sunday's much-awaited clash, both teams were thriving on dream starts to their season
as the Trotters battered Queens Park Rangers 4-0 and Roberto Mancini's men won by the same exact
score against Swansea in the opening round of fixtures.
Gareth Barry scored a brilliant goal from all of 20 yard's to give Manchester
City a 2-0 lead after David Silva scored the opener, however Bolton were back in the game several
minutes later as Ivan Klasnic scored for the Trotters.
Didier Drogba, Gary Cahill,  Andrei Arshavin and Andy Johnson headline the list of Premier
League stars who are out of contract at the end of the season according to Goal.com, and could be
available on a free transfer this summer.
You could put together a pretty competitive side from this list.
With Shay Given out for a month, Brad Guzan gets his first Premier League start, and it's also
emerged this week that the American is in contract discussions with his current deal set to expire
at the end of the season. Jermaine Jenas is out for the season, and with the club apparently on the
hook for his wages the less said about that the better.
Owen Coyle's Bolton lost again, this time at home to new-boys Norwich City, and suddenly the
pressure is starting to mount on the former Republic of Ireland international.
The Canaries were already two up, courtesy of goals from Anthony Pilkington and Bradley Johnson,
when striker Ivan Klasnic was sent off for a rather weak attempt at a head-butt.

Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill earned his sixth cap when he lined up for England's Euro
2012 qualifier against Montenegro last night. While England only needed a draw to secure their
place in the finals that was all they got. 2-2 was the final score — England's overall
performance was enough but disappointing.
Footballers overcoming adversity to play the beautiful game - originally posted on
Soccerlens.com
Despite the common trait of footballers being poor role models and lacking integrity, some
players and their backgrounds can inspire you. The majority of footballers have an enviable life
and everything they could ever imagine on a silver platter, but these combatants have had to
overcome adversity to play the beautiful game.
In a day of very few shocks, two Premier League sides Bolton and Wigan were surprised by lower
league opponents in the 3rd round of the FA Cup.
Wigan's troubled season took another turn for the worse as they crashed out 2-1 too League Two
side Swindon Town. Calum McManaman had put Wigan 1-0 up but Swindon, managed by Italian Paolo Di
Canio, struck back to claim a famous win with goals coming from Alan Connell and Paul Benson.
Arsenal were saved by a quickfire double salvo from Andrey Arshavin and Park Chu-Young as they
secured progression to the Carling Cup quarter-finals with a 2-1 win over Bolton.
The pair scored within three minutes of one another after the break to continue the Gunners'
unbeaten League Cup run at the Emirates Stadium after receiving a scare at the start of the second
half.
