ALI Al-Habsi has waited too long to fulfil his dream of playing Premiership football to let it slip through his fingers.
The Oman international, who made his Premier League debut at Wigan last Sunday, has been handed the task of helping Wanderers stave off relegation with Jussi Jaaskelainen out for the season.
"We can get through this," he said. "I think we can do it.
"We have good players, good experienced players and, if we are together with one hand, we can get away from this position, hopefully starting with a win in the City game. It is the first of four games at home and these are the key for Bolton. We need to win all these games.
"We are in a bad position now and we all have to think only for the team, for Bolton, and hope that we stay up."

Totally agree with wtf! Personally I can't get my head around the fact that Megson seems to take positives from everything and anything. We got beaten by Man U, Megson says "I can take positives"! What positives? We aren't going to stay up on blxxxy positives! We can't score to save our lives, and Megson says its not due to the Anelka sale? I'm so **** off with the whole situation, and have been a loyal fan for 32 years. Just don't know how much longer I can put up with this debacle.

Cheers Richie, think your the first person ever to agree with me. And even if u didnt id have to agree with you. With a little from LSL he has taken the club from european contenders to relegation fodder and with the sham in lisborn turned the entire footballing world against us. There wont be many a tear shed outside Bolton when we do go down. That kind of incompitance cant be taught, you have to born with it!

al habsi lacks something yet, perhaps positioning, however jussi doesnt want to play and has taken himself out of the firing line with the old council injury 'ow me back', but habsi was inspired, some great saves, there were positives, we did play some good stuff with the right 11 minus judas meite, saturday looms large but again the score was 0-2

I agree: The mendacious Megson's favourite tune must be: "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." Quite frankly, I'm not bothered about conceding goals, or goalkeepers. The simple fact is: If Bolton are not scoring goals they'll be relegated. I'm surprised that so many supporters are positive about the Manchester City game. Of course, they're to be congratulated, but I can feel a draw coming on, and a sacking if Bolton lose.

Pinning our hopes on Ali Al Habsi who will also be off at the end of the season if his agaent has anything to do with it.
In the space of 12 months we lose our:
Top 8 status,
European football
One of the top strikers in the world (Anelka)
3 managers (if Megson goes)
2 Top class goalkeepers
Premiership football
and about 10,000 fans who will not renew season tkts.

Jussi has not had his heart in it all season, he has made far more mistakes this season than ever. The generous people will say that he is distracted by contract talks (or lack of them). The rest of us say he doesn't give a t0ss any more. Al Habsi should have been given a chance earlier, he is keen, capable and confident. He is also intelligent, if he is not treated properly he will find a club that will treat himthe way he deserves to be.

We should offer Al Habsi a big pay rise and try our hardest to keep him.Unfortunately he has Harrison as his agent and I don't trust agents like him.He was the one who unsettled Jussi and to think how much that guy has got from our club just shows how agents care for themselves and stuff everybody else.

Interesting point apple - but if you can show me a goal that Al-Habsi has conceded that has been directly his fault i'll suprised.
Trotter has made the best statement by far on this or many recent threads.
I'll just add my points as to why we could be relegated:
Only 10 league wins since Jan 07, only one league away win in the last year.

Of course Jussi has saved us on many occasions and he was a decent keeper, but to call him a legend cheapens the term.

Quite agree but theres a difference between deserving 2 goals and actually scoring them. The reason we all love and hate the game at the same time is because of things like this - you dont always get what you deserve. Take our game against Porstmouth a few weeks ago as a prime example.
I didnt walk away from the JJB or Old Trafford blaming the referee, in fact i was really pleased with the 2nd half performance on Wednesday, but the underlying problem is that 5 goals in 9 league games is nowhere near good enough to keep any time in the prem league.
Like you say Jon on another day the goals might have been given, but we cant rely on the refs to help us out.
Despite the headline on the other thread, i believe that selling Anelka when we did and when we didnt have to is for me the single biggest reason why we are where we are. Along with Gartside appionting Megson and Lee.

Am I right in reading Jon's opinion correctly? We deserved goals at Wigan? You bet we did. We played 10 men for nearly 90 mins, but in case you missed it, we didnt score.
Talk about the bright side of life.

Are we talking about the same Jussi who I saw recently head the ball into his own net? I have been a big fan of his over the years, but this has been his poorest season.
Whether its his contract talks, lack of confidence in his defence or whatever, but he has cost us quite a few games this season.
Al Habsi has looked very impressive so far, and I cant fault him for any goals conceded. Thanks for everything Jussi, best wishes wherever you go.

Al Habsi worshipping the portugese pric,
There was only one place that free kick was going so why not have a man on that post,
Or be in some sort of position to at least get to it,
Not in the middle of the goal,
And i still cant get my head round not having men on each post from corners,
How many goals are scored in the bottom corner,
The coaching these days leaves alot to be desired
