Vegan roll sounds scrumptious, Boncey, but here's a question. How many Nutters don't know the difference between a tax exile and a Tex burger?

I had to google Tex Burger.

If you'd tried googling tax exile you might be able to explain it all to Lusty. The poor lamb still seems to be stuck in a bubble of confusion of his own blowing.

But did you know that, according to Wiki, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] spent 1979 in Australia to avoid taxation on their previous year's income?


I could be guessing but it might have had something to do with income tax at 83% on earned income with an additional 15% on investment income.


 Do you think that there might still be Premiership footballers playing Parlour games? I do.

Preview: Mansfield Town vs. Bolton Wanderers


Wanderers travel to Nottinghamshire this evening to take on Mansfield Town in a rearranged Sky Bet League Two fixture at the One Call Stadium.

Pre-Match Quotes:

Ian Evatt: ‘We want to build some momentum and we’re trying to improve as we go along. We still feel like we’ve got a fighting chance this season, so obviously we need to go to Mansfield and set our stall out like we did on Saturday, and start the game well because we know we’re going to come under pressure early in the game.

‘We need to grow into the game after that and then in the last half an hour, as I’ve spoken about many times, we can take over games and create the chances. First and foremost, we have to go there and make sure we’re ready to fight because I think Nigel (Clough) is renowned for being an excellent motivator of his teams and they’ll be up for it.’


Nigel Clough: ‘I think they’ll come with a bit more confidence than last week. They have a good selection of players that have played at a higher level. They have quality all over the pitch.

‘The game is about us trying to pick it up again – I didn’t think we were brilliant at Southend, but that’s the only time we’ve played in about two or three weeks now, which is the only concern.’

Team News:

New signing MJ Williams could make his debut for Wanderers this evening following his Deadline Day move from Blackpool. Fellow new signings Lukas Jensen, Oladapo Afolayan and Marcus Maddison will have to wait until the weekend as they were recruited after the registration deadline for tonight’s fixture.

Ryan Delaney returns from his one-match suspension and comes into contention with Declan John also pushing to start following his return to action in Saturday’s victory against Leyton Orient.

Stags captain Ollie Clarke is available for selection again following his return to training after an injury lay-off but former Wanderers Joe Riley is a long-term absentee and will miss out.

Town brought in goalkeeper Jamie Pardington on loan from Wolves yesterday, as well as winger Oliver Sarkic on loan from Blackpool. Whether the duo are eligible to feature this evening remains to be seen.


Bookies Odds:

Mansfield Town win: 21/20

Draw: 5/2

Bolton Wanderers win: 9/4

Correct as of 02/02/2021 (12.30pm) on skybet.com


Form:

Wanderers recorded their first win of 2021 last weekend with a 2-0 success against Leyton Orient at the University of Bolton Stadium, with Eoin Doyle notching his tenth goal of the campaign to date.

After a winless run of six matches, Ian Evatt’s side will be hoping to gather some momentum going into a busy February schedule.

Mansfield haven’t played in a week and-a-half following last week’s postponed fixture against Wanderers and then the weekend’s postponed trip to Walsall, but the Stags are on a run of five consecutive league victories with their latest a 1-0 win at Southend United.

Prior to victory at Roots Hall, Nigel Clough’s side had also dispatched Oldham Athletic, Salford City, Port Vale and Scunthorpe United. The Nottinghamshire outfit will be looking to extend that run and continue their climb up the Sky Bet League Two table.


Last time out:

The two teams last met in early November at the University of Bolton Stadium and it was a game which ended with honours even.

Coming into the match without a league victory to their names, Mansfield took the lead through George Lapslie but Antoni Sarcevic’s late leveller ensured that Wanderers came away with a share of the spoils.

Referee: Sebastian Stockbridge.

Waterlogged pitch I think. Just had a phone call from a mate. Hope he's not winding me up.

Mate in Mansfield says it's off deffo.

Waterlogged pitch. Originally cancelled due to frozen pitch. Wonder what the next excuse will be. "Turnstiles stuck on Exit only."

Not surprised after the weather we've had.

At least we can all have an enjoyable evening now.

Only paid this afternoon !!!

Fuming. 
Persuaded the missus to give me time off for good behaviour, bought my match pass and then read of the cancellation. Now she’s ensconced in front of the telly bingeing on Bridgerton FFS and seeing as we’re in a tiny rental there’s no escape.

I suppose it gives us more time to bed in the new players? May see them all in the squad for the Salford game now.

Just noticed this has been moved to Wednesday at 5pm! I don;t finish work till 4.30 and then have to pick my Daughter up so won't be watching this on ifollow. I will try and get on the chatbox for the second half though.

Can you not get someone to start the game, and then freeze it until you get in?

It freezes on it's own plenty of times already 

It will save me a tenner if nothing else.

We know whats going to happen anyway. Well play well for 30 minutes, hang on to a lead if we have one, and then give the opposition the initiative, and see if they want to score.

I see Williams red card has been overturned which leaves me wondering if the ref will be going for a hat trick of bad decisions against us tomorrow?
