Megson frets over capital punishment

RELEGATION battles are full of ill omens, but Bolton Wanderers have good reason to be fearful if their Premier League fate rests on the final day of the season.

The last time they were relegated from the top-flight 10 years ago, it was Chelsea who sealed their doom, beating Bolton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to leave a side managed by Colin Todd third from bottom in the table.

It just so happens that their last match of this campaign will also take place in London SW6, so the last thing current manager Gary Megson wants is to head to the capital needing a victory to decide his side’s destiny.
