Its been a pretty turbulent week for Bolton boss Sam Allardyce, what with his 'bung' accusations, but his team responded well last Monday by defeating a resurgent Portsmouth side 1-0 away, the goal coming from midfielder Kevin Nolan. Bolton have been quietly impressive so far this season, only losing once, and they are tough to break down - they have yet to concede a goal at home, and have won two out of three at the Reebok. Liverpool are starting to find their feet after a sticky patch, and they will be delighted with the form of new striker Dirk Kuyt, who looks very impressive.

Even though their home form is good, Liverpool have only taken a point out of their three away trips, and have only scored once, and that was on the opening day against Sheffield Utd. They do look a little brittle at the back, and have conceded five goals already on the road. People are taking this moving out of Liverpool thing a bit too far in my opinion. It's about 5 miles from Walton and literally the ground would be a 2 minutes walk from Fazakerley which is classed as Liverpool. It's not like they're talking about moving to Warrington or Skem or somewhere.

As mm says it's got great potential for access to and from it, the motorways, a train station closer than the nearest one now (Kirkdale) and plenty of bus routes to and from all areas of Merseyside.

Plus I live by the Fantail which will be a 2 minute walk to the match, I could nip home for a when I was busting during half time.  dont want to move from goodison, and i think the Kings Dock would of been the best option, but for the future of the club we must move. Lets look at it this way if we stay at Goodison in 10 years from now a lot of the other premier clubs will overtake us and have new grounds and new investors. The likes of west ham portsmouth villa and other clubs have more money than us and can outbid us for wages and transfers in the transfer market, we dont want it getting any worse than it is now.

I just hope when Robert Earl comes over in January for meetings he brings over funds and concrete plans to take the club forward with him.

Bolton are traditionally very good at home, and already this season the Reebok looks like a tough place to come for even the bigger teams. I suppose January & next summer will see wether our new major shareholder is just holding the stock or if he is going to stump up any cash.
I think the arab millions next door will be forthcoming, these lads spend half a Rooney on a yearling that might be nothing more than prospective Kit e Kat, I can only see them pulling away if the Sheikh gets seriously involved.
I suppose if you look down the list of clubs now, we must be getting to the top of the list of big clubs without serious financial muscle behind us and thus if someone out there fancies buying into the weird world of footy we must be on any shortlist.

I'm surprised how most of you lads are so phlegmatic about a move to Kirkby, not sure why I am, but I am. Agreed, it aint like Bolton who moved out to Horwich, Kirkby is Liverpool in anybodys mind, the boundary for most is a red dotted line on an I guess whatever happens, even doing nothing is going to upset people, it really is a no win for Bill & Bully. To carry it off I think they need to get a detailed scheme drawn up showing us what it would look like then take a vote, I think it'd be accepted by the majority, to not do so would leave them open to all sorts of abuse, it'd be like Scargills miners strike without the vote, no real mandate.However, Liverpool do seem to be playing well at home at the moment, but they have yet to translate this form on the road. Bolton to win 1-0  @ a huge 8/1 does offer some nice appeal, and is worth a small punt.
