The list of former Wizards currently playing is getting smaller and smaller as more of the American team's seasons come to an end. The first round of the MLS playoffs are half over, so next week will be the end for even more former Wizards.

Chelsea 4-0 Bolton League Cup

A Chelsea Fans Blog for Chelsea Fans 29 October @ 07:05 PM EST
Chelsea cruised to victory last night as they beat Bolton 4-0. Goals from Kalou (yes he scored again), Malouda, Deco and Drogba sealed an easy win as Chelsea progress to the League Cup quarter finals. To be honest it could of been a hat full and apart from the odd attack on goal (which Hilario will remember from the game more than anything) it was pretty much one sided.

Carling Cup Exit

The Offside - Bolton Wanderers 28 October @ 11:48 PM EST

I was unable to watch the game today because I had to write a history essay (though the game probably would have been just as painful). I've just been reading some reports (as of now no video is out) and things don't look good do they? Even Gary Megson called us crap and he barely ever does that (even though we quite often are crap).

Bolton 3-2 Everton

The Offside - Bolton Wanderers 27 October @ 12:30 PM EST

So far I haven't been able to find full highlights unfortunately, though I have found a video of all the goals (you'll have to watch an advert about toothbrushes, but it's worth it). I will admit, I did not see the match, nor have I been able to watch full highlights (I was playing rugby), so this report will be a bit of an amalgamation of tidbits I stole form other reports.

VIDEO: United’s Goals Against Bolton

Manchester United took the lead after a Michael Owen header deflected off Zat Knight in to the back of the net, before Antonio Valencia scored his first United goal to give us a 2-0 lead. Matt Taylor pulled one back for the visitors, leading to a nervous last ten minutes after squandering plenty of chances up until that point, but it ended with three points for United and us going back on top.

Birmingham 1-2 Bolton OR Ginger vs Ginger

The Offside - Bolton Wanderers 28 September @ 01:03 PM EST

So first off many apologies vis-a-vis the lack of match preview. I was in Dallas for a rugby tournament all weekend (my team is going to nationals!) and I had so much homework Thursday I couldn't do it (I got an hour and a half of sleep on Thursday). Also I'm aware this is a wee bit late, but I only got home about an hour ago.

Hard Tackle: Matt Taylor and the steward

Off the Post 28 September @ 06:59 AM EST
Goal celebration kicks for people with fluorescent vests Matt Taylor got a bit frisky during the Bolton celebrations on Saturday, and found himself in the crotch of a steward. The steward in charge of restraining the celebrations showed little sign of personal restraint. Perhaps he should pick his partners a bit more carefully. Click to continue reading...
