Hi everyone, this is my first attempt at a blog and to be honest its probably not going to be a very interesting one. This blog will feature my loves and hates, ups and downs and anything else thing that may occur in my life.

So i guess i had better introduce myself, my name is Matt i am 31 and i live in Astley in Manchester.
I am a huge Bolton Wanderers fan and have been for over 20 years, with my first match being a game against Hartlepool in the 1992/93 season. I am very into my music and can't go through the day without blasting some music at some point, i have a varied taste in music from folk to indie, rock to rap. I am a bit of a film buff and will watch almost anything, exceptions being rom-coms and crappy action films. And finally somethng you think i may have mentioned first but i don't like it to define me, i suffer from a condition called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (which i will fully explain in later posts) and use an electric wheelchair.

So you know a bit about me, so heres what has been going on in past few weeks.

It has been quite a depressing last 18 months as a Bolton Wanderers fan, starting with an embaracing 5-0 defeat to Stoke in the FA Cup Semi-Final and culminating in relegation from the Premier League in May of this year. I actually took the relegation in my stride, thinking that after a season of defeat after defeat that dropping down a league would mean wins would come easier and more often, but alas that has not been the case. It has actually been just as hard to win and even when we do its far from convincing. My opinion as to why this is, is that our manager Owen Coyle is not up to the job, but the owners don't seem to see this, so due to this i have put my feelings about him to one side and got behind the team. Since i decided to get behind the team we won at Sheffield Wednesday, in which reports say was our best performace of the season so far. So are things finally looking up?

It has been a great month for music with a lot of new album that i have bought on cd (yes i'm old school). Mumford & Sons new album Babel was out and i have to say it the boys have done it again.
It is an instant classic, they have knack of making songs that make me sad and joyous at the same time this is best shown in my favourite track Holland Road, i feel unfair picking a favourite song as i love them all. The Killers fourth album i got this month, to be honest on first listen i was quite dissapointed and no song jumped out and grabbed me. However after a good few listens it has truly grown on me, and songs like Flesh and Bone, Battleborn and Carry Me Home have grabbed me.
I also bought albums by The Vaccines and Two Door Cinema Club and my find of the year Of Monsters And Men.

Movie-wise in a rarity for i went to the cinema to see Killing Them Softly starring Brad Pitt. In the film Jackie Cogan (Brad Pitt) is a professional enforcer hired to investigate a heist that goes down during a mob-protected poker game. I also recently saw a James Stewart classic, Anatomy of a Murder. In it James Stewart is a lawyer defending a man who says he suffered temporary insanity after killing the man who raped his wife.

So that was my first post hope you enjoyed it.

Come back soon.
