Amazing day at Broadhall Way. Huge result and the place was bouncing. Difficult game in hand this week against Swindon before the Stoke cup game but we're in a great place to push on for promotion now.

I need to find a Premier League team to at least be a fan of. 

Palace.

I don't mind Crystal Palace in London. The place is a nice area, and good restaurant's.

Old fashioned stadium with vociferous fans. Young upcoming manager. Good kits without a betting sponsor. Can't go too wrong really.

That could also be Forest.

Old fashioned is a nice way of saying it's a dump.

I think the old "dump" stadiums have more character and atmosphere than the big new arenas.

It's both!

A nice win in the North East Derby this afternoon. Thank you Middlesbrough for letting us get the win over you.

Nice to see Sunderland fans accepting their level.

[DFF]

I swear no one actually wants to catch us and Burnley - the amount of dropped points by the play-off bound teams of late is frankly impressive.

The level changes every couple of season's.

Duncan Ferguson is the new manager of Forest Green Rovers. That's just a hilarious fit.

That didn't last very long at Wigan.

3 draws and six losses, bottom of the table. It’s not overly surprising.

Yes it was probably coming. Just very quick really. 

They've appointed Shaun Maloney now.

1-1 with WBA. 

Ben finding the back of the net after a few game's and securing a point was alright. Just as usual our form drops middle of the season.

I don't know if we will qualify for the play off competition this year though after the last few week's.

In August, Alex Neil left Sunderland to join Stoke.

It's now February, and Alex Neil's Stoke are 19th. Tony Mowbray's Sunderland are 5th.

Bolton Wanderers stadium's new "tongue in cheek" name has been a hard one for fans to ignore, prompting chuckles and disbelief in equal measure.

The club have announced they are delighted to have agreed a deal with local building manufacturer Toughsheet.

It means the League One side will be playing at the Toughsheet Community Stadium for the next five years.

The company's boss said the announcement had been taken in the spirit of "schoolboy humour".

Managing director Doug Mercer told the Bolton News: "We're happy to have a bit of fun with it. Obviously the brand name is a bit tongue-in-cheek, a bit schoolboy humour.

"I can't wait to see them try and make each other say it on Sky Sports. It'll be a great laugh."

Bolton said the partnership with the company, based in Westhoughton, represents the largest sponsorship deal in the club's history.

But news of the ground's latest moniker has been a hard one to take for some supporters, after less remarkable spells as the Reebok and most recently the University of Bolton Stadium.

One said: "Is this true? Seriously is this true?" with another joking: "Is it April 1st?"

Another tweeted: "Oh Bolton. Bolton. Bolton. What have you done? You've certainly got people talking. However, it'll always be the Reebok."

However, many simply took the opportunity to embrace the joke, with one fan adding: "If people don't like it, it's toughsheet."
