I dont want to sound controversial but Garner shouldnt even be on the team bus. I really dont see anything in him as a player.

Traditional 4-4-2 for me. Foderingham Tavernier Hill Wilson Hodson Waghorn Hyndman Toral Mckay Miller Dodoo

Leicester....absolute free fall. Dont think Claudio can turn it around there. Bad replay for Man City, they could be done without that tie.

No I think he is a gourmet chef at the ritz. He'd do a good job though at Ibrox.

Have you heard something I havent? Until the end of the season?? Of course he will get backing of the support and lets see how he does game by game. It could well be that we have to continue with Murty and cant put someone in for legal reasons if the 3 amigos are saying they havent resigned.

Baffling decision. Must be being offered China level money. I could understand if it was for the USA or Far East but Saudi is like a scary dictatorship and I cant see him lasting more than 4 months.

The only show in town again. Like Boabies comment but a real alky would have plenty time for a 1230 kick off. I do miss the trips to Ibrox on the 7:05 or the late 8:42am train that got us into Queen St at 9:50 or 11:20. The drinks would be be flowing by departure. And that was for 3pm kick offs then a sesh on the way back. Sundays used to be sore.

I take it you mean plenty time to overhaul? But as things stand we are not in great shape while McInnes seems to have Aberdeen playing well. I do think that can be overturned though, Aberdeen are capable of losing at a Kilmarnock or Partick where we should win these games. We will see how Murty has done on Sunday at Dens. but goal difference, that would take a major swing. we will maybe only score 18 goals in 14 games, considering that could be two wins against Aberdeen it doubles but its a big ask.

It would be interesting to see a poll about having a DoF. Im not a fan of this process but do admit it can work at certain clubs. But I always see a potential clash of opinions between the head coach and DoF. I also like the thought of having a Football Manager at Rangers, maybe its just tradition. I do get the points that a background set up and a review of such things like scouting network needs done but that can be done by the day to day management with Manager input. At the end of the day I always think the players coming in should be the managers choice. All other sections are spot on.

That said Rangers have no sway in any deal or breakdown in deal and no timescale was given for them to join a new club - as such they are now free to join any club and Rangers don't get involved. From the boards view this was an offer on the table for them to quit there and then and it was accepted. They could sign memberships with a Tennis club for all we care, if the agent wasn't specific that's his fault again - but it seems verbal resignations are lawful. MW, DW and FM are probably going down the road it was an offer from the agent but they didn't resign personally - but that doesn't work.

Its all too very quiet with regards to the agents actions.

That's just Pardew putting himself in the shop window. If he wants to offer Murty support then call Murty and tell him personally.

The down side is that is its 3 points for Aberdeen. Whilst we can overhaul that by beating them twice the other side is their goal difference is plus 25 compared to our plus 6 which I don't think we can overhaul and is effectively a point at the end of the season if the teams finish level on points.

He seemed to be OK until he seen it was being recorded. He has to know in this day in age everyone records everything. But not a good advertisement for the National team assistant.

Wenger is too ignorant. He puts his same tactics in every game. He treats Bayern away the same as he would Sunderland at home. At 1-1 they are in the tie but Coquelin isn't good enough at this level, he was stumbled upon due to injuries and had one good game at Man City so has been first pick ever since. What has Ozil got to do to get dropped. Id have played Monreal as he is better defensively than Gibbs (who I rate) then had Elneny (he is a decent player) with Xhaka in the middle. Walcott on the right, Ox on the left then Sanchez in Ozil's position and Welbeck upfront and let those 4 hit Bayern on the break. They are missing fighters. If a fit Wilshire and Cazorla is in that team then its a different performance altogether.

Id be gobsmacked if King and the board hadn't taken legal advice and were 100% sure before releasing the statement. The only unclear area was this happening on a Wednesday but MW still doing a press conference on the Friday - obviously it took 48 hours to go through everything in detail.

Arsenal battered 5-1 in Munich for the second year in a row. They are not a team. Sanchez and Koscielny are the only 2 players who are carrying that team who are weak.

Thats ridiculous. I forgot all about that crazy council tax which should be abolished when an army tank would struggle to get over some of the pot holes on the roads. A few meaningless friendlies will get arranged to cover the cost. Or they could arrange games against a major country. Hampden has lost a lot of its energy and atmosphere anyway. Its only ever full if Rangers or Celtic are playing in a final or maybe an edinburgh derby. But if Motherwell played St Mirren in the final a 30000 seater would do. Spain dont need a national stadium they go all around the country. Ive always liked the thought of seeing some games at Murrayfield.

If we were successful of getting FdB I like the thought of Ronald joining in some capacity (joint manager / DoF / Assistant / Coach)

PSG were excellent. Even at 3-0 and 4-0 they were going for more. I don't like to see money teams that much but Barca and Real have been receiving the TV money in Spain ahead of the other clubs for years. But if there is a team who can overturn a 4-0 its Barca. They have won their last 3 home games 4-0 4-0 and 7-2 so they could easily come out and get 2 quick goals and make a tie of it. But PSG keeping a clean sheet has probably done enough. I'll go for 3-0 Barcelona in the 2nd leg. I fancied Benfica on the night but Dortmund should overturn that at home. Good night of scores in the Championship. Derby were 3-0 down at home to Bristol City at the weekend and drew 3-3 and tonight lost 4-3 at home to Cardiff. Neil Warnock is a terrific impact manager and if wasn't in that job Id have been calling for him at Ibrox until the end of the season. he kept Rotherham in that league last year also. Leeds, Reading and Huddersfield all close the gap on Brighton and Newcastle. Sheff Wed keep on going.

I dont think he came over to well on sky on sunday, it seemed to be more about if the club wants him come and get him and didnt outright say he wanted it.

I probably agree actually that Spurs will pip Man Utd in positions but threw them in left field earlier, probably going by form. But after looking at the run ins Spurs have a slightly easier fixture list. Man Utd have to go to Arsenal and Tottenham in a week plus play Man City. But liverpool have an even easier run in than Spurs. All in all absolutely no idea but a Chelsea Man City 1 and 2 is pretty much a banker.

Lets hope that Sutton quote can join into other junk him and Hartson have said in the past that made them look stupid.

Chelsea Man City Arsenal Man Utd

Glad you said Buffel, I rated him when he was on his game. But Prso was his best signing - an absolute class act, imagine he had 2 knees! Novo's contribution aswell is right up there. Boumsong looked a top class French international then went to Newcastle and looked like he had never played the game before. Watteraus - honest keeper but didn't have a patch on Klos and Der Goalie should have been brought back in sooner. Boyd - There is a library on here about him. Ferguson - Did well first few games but should never been brought back and given a free reign to do what he wanted, he then became 'My Ba Barry' All in all Id still take Eck until the end of the season but hope the link with Alex Rae as No.2 isn't true.
