Merry Buff-mas ladies and gents, and to celebrate the festive season, Marc and Henry have recorded a special series of 12 episodes to keep you entertained every day to the New Year!

Every day we'll be centring on one of Henry's favourite Bolton players of the last few decades before Marc brings the tone down with a curious tale, or a bizarre name from Wanderers' murky past.

We'll be back with the main show on Friday, January 3 - but for now sit back, relax and enjoy some quality BWFC chat.

On episode five we bring you one of the most exciting and flamboyant talents ever to pull on a Bolton Wanderers shirt - Mr Jay-Jay Okocha. And we follow that up with a tale about the time Sam Allardyce thought about signing the Chinese Peter Crouch.

On episode three we will be concentrating on the youngest team ever fielded by Bolton Wanderers for a senior fixture, and also their most senior strikers. The spotlight falls on the Junior Whites, then Emile Heskey and Eidur Gudjohnsen.

Our second episode brings you the enigma that was Icelandic international Arnar Gunnlaugsson, plus one of Bolton's most depressing near-misses in the transfer market involving centre-back Craig Dawson.

Welcome back to The Last Word, and a goalless draw with a sting in the tail.

A bruising 90 minutes against Wycombe Wanderers led to a positive point for Bolton - but little did we know the action wasn't over, and the post-match interviews also packed a punch.

Hear from Ian Evatt and Will Forrester, along with analysis from Henry Hewitt, all narrated by Marc Iles (without a microphone, apologies).

Whether you are 'Ian Evatt in' or 'Ian Evatt out' - this week's podcast promises to bring you plenty of Bolton Wanderers discussion which will suit your agenda.

Sharon Brittan's statement confirming the board's backing for the under-fire boss came as a surprise to some (although one wonders if they have been listening to The Buff). 

Another home defeat to Wigan Athletic left Wanderers fans unhappy and unsure of the direction being taken by a club currently sitting eighth in the table and actually closer to the relegation zone than the top two.

We pick apart the chairman's comments, and read out your emails on what has been a very emotional week. Marc and Henry also look ahead to Wycombe and the rest of the festive fixture list and give their predictions on what shape the club will be in by the New Year.

We have a very special offer for listeners of The Buff Podcast - so take note.

WANDERERS' misery against Wigan Athletic continued, and we are here to pick through the wreckage.

We can't put this off any longer, it's time to play Wigan Athletic again.

The fixture that has brought Bolton Wanderers perpetual misery in the last few years is back again, so Marc Iles and Henry Hewitt are here to talk you through the build-up.

On the plus side, Ian Evatt's side were pretty impressive against Huddersfield Town in the Vertu Trophy. We look back at the high points from Tuesday night's game.

But the big talking point this week is the Latics rocking up from down the road, and whether Bolton will decide to show up this season?

We look through the week's headlines in The Bolton News, read out your emails on what promises to be a pivotal weekend, and make our own predictions on what might happen.

The Last Word is back - and it's time to review a 3-1 win against Huddersfield Town in the Vertu Trophy, which sets things up nicely for this weekend's visit from Wigan Athletic.

Ian Evatt wanted to use the game as a warm-up for Saturday's big game, and things went largely according to plan.

Marc Iles leads you through the night's events, with interviews from the Bolton boss and the first goalscorer, Klaidi Lolos, plus Bolton Wanderers fans Henry Hewitt and Russ Pollitt.
