bolton

Tottenham moved to within a point of third-placed Arsenal with a
convincing victory at Bolton that keeps the Trotters inside the
relegation zone.



Luka Modric put Spurs ahead with a fine dipping strike despite Bolton's claims that Sandro handled in the build-up.



The hosts, watched by Fabrice Muamba from the stands, equalised through Nigel Reo-Coker's first-time finish.



But Rafael van der Vaart slotted in before Emmanuel Adebayor sealed the points with two close-range efforts.



It was Tottenham's first away win in the Premier League since they beat Norwich at Carrow Road on 27 December.



They look firmly on course for a top-four finish and
will hope to take six points from their final two matches, against Aston
Villa and Fulham.



Bolton, by contrast, are fighting to stay in the
division and Saturday's visit of West Brom now takes on even greater
importance.



They are three points ahead of Blackburn and level on points with QPR, but Rangers have a far superior goal difference.



More to follow.

All the goals ......COYS!!!!!!

So can I be safe in my expectation that as a first step you will be apologizing to Atkinson ?

Your having a laugh Nic, heres an earlier post about possibly the worst ref in the prem.

Poor old Atkinson has endured a torrid season. He dismissed Jack Rodwell for a legitimate challenge on Luis Suárez, the decision swiftly rescinded.

He failed to realise that Clint Hill’s header for QPR had crossed the Bolton goal-line. He allowed Mario Balotelli’s awful challenge on Alex Song to go unpunished.

I am not at all having a larf Dave

As I have said previously, and often, the ref gets one go at it and does his best. Far, far more contentious split second decisions are called right than are ever called wrong

The game is high speed, players cheat, managers cheat, unlike the so called meeja experts the referee does not get the chance to review a decision from seven different camera angles

Inevitably under the present system, with no video replays, errors happen

So all the shite piled on referees is uncalled for

But Atkinson seems to want more than one go, his record of bad decisions is apalling, his costing teams valuable points, the occaisional error, but its becoming serial with Atkinson.

A very good win, and as Vis said it looks like everyone is singing from the same song sheet. However, I would like to know why they all lost their voices some weeks ago, was it down to a dodgy Lasagne or a bad case of Laryngitis spreading through the team.

Like big babies Len, boo hoo, dont know if the gaffer is leaving or not, instead of playing their guts out so that if a new manager was to come in, they would have been watching how they have played the last 4 weeks.

was out last night but got back late and watched the game but was drunk but what a good performance
brillant goal from modric. prob man of the match aswell

villa next. coys

ok this is off topic but guess whos the ref for newcastle man c game lol

just when man u need a favor

Feel free to "criticize" referees Vis as you appear to think it is a footballs fan's right to give the man in black utter shite if and when he makes an error

Be consistent though


When your club gets the benefit of a wrong decision give the referee the same shite

And don't ever claim not having video review ain't what a professional sport requires

Sanctimonious ? Inconsistent ?

Not for a single second


IF you want to give a referee hell, whether they produce a good decision or a dodgy decision then get on with it

My suggestion is DON'T slag off a referee when you don't get a dodgy result and ignore it when Spuds get a dodgy decision in their favor


It's nonsense mate


Have one line or the other

but the refs have such a tough job to do
they have players non stop lying to them trying to gain an advanages.

coaches tell the players to go to ground if touched and claim for everything even if it didnt touch you

Thats got nothing to do with the inordinate amount of mistakes Atkinson is making.

Heaven forefend I would ever intrude on a spuds fans birthright to moan at referees
