Was the first have a case of a different approach that the players arent use to yet? It is refreshing if PC wants to play an attacking way but he will need to get use to playing opposition who raise their games 20% against Rangers and be more physical. Obviously we had fitness issues in defence prior.

Liverpool was the only scoop. Hull and Stoke at home should be wins for Champions plus a win at West Ham who are in awful form in a stadium they cant play in. Players should be ashamed though, switching off on purpose for Ranieri by the looks of things. But makes you wonder what happened as they all loved him last season and played the same system - why did Ranieri want to change the tactics. Im pleased for Kante getting out that team but no time for the likes of Vardy. Players should be ashamed.

Koeman made a selection error playing young players in a new system. They only started playing at 2-1 and then changed it to 4 at the back then Liverpool scored straight away which ended it. Chelsea take unexpected hit and it blows the title race open. If Man City get something from Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and Spurs win at Swansea its 4 or 5 points with Chelsea still having to go to Man Utd. Not surprised WBA got a draw at Old Trafford. Leicester and Palace 4 wins in a row each and moving up the table. Hull beating West Ham brings another 3 clubs into the relegation battle especially if Swansea beat Middlesboro today and then Hull beat Middlesboro in midweek.

I still find Lovenkrands the most refreshing approach but he wouldnt probably be the most knowledgeable about the overall Scottish game TBH out of the list.

Yes Mo Ross, Sandaza would be pitch side. Jeremy Clement another who was awful. The latter could go into a team of promising players who didnt forfill potential in a Gers shirt like Jonas Thern, Nerlinger, Michael Ball, Steven Wright, Charbonnier. Capucho was actually a promising signing at the time but was awful.

This match would be pay per view!! Letizi Argyriou Cribari Eggen Bernard Celik Faye Mladenovic Emerson Kyle Gayle Versus Jeffers Ostenstad Maniero S Hughes G Rae Gow Bonnissel Konterman Penttila Bollan Ginzberg I really could never work out why Big Bert continuously got a game he was a nightmare except for one belter against Celtic. Steven Hughes and Gavin Rae were also McLeish favourites who were out their depth.

So we should have Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts at Ibrox. But what happens if Kilmarnock pip Partick to 6th, we would be due to have them at home also. No way will they allow us 4 home games and only 1 away at St Johnstone. Mockery of a split.

A bit of unneeded additional pressure to win after Aberdeens win. But the feel good factor of Pedro is still there and I cant see us slipping up at all. I did 3-0 in the predictor but Im tempted to change it to 5 nil. Lets get 3 points then go up to Aberdeen next week and win there.

Ive never been one who contemplates booing a Rangers player but that may change if he played for us again.

Plus with the UK clocks changing I get to see the games an hour earlier. I'll be channel hopping tonight with a load of 3pm kick offs. I wonder if WBA have a chance of getting something at Man Utd. Smalling, Jones (no surprise), Pogba, Mata and Zlatan all out .

Number of clubs from one country should reduce. An expanded Europa, Euros and World Cup doesnt work and its ruining the CL also. Bigger and better teams back in the UEFA Cup (rename it that again) would improve that competition also. Plus Id bring the Cup Winners Cup back to get the amount of teams in the Europa down. CL games should be played Tues & Thurs or Wed & Thurs then move the Europa to Tues or Wed - giving it more interest rather than being after the lord mayors show on a Thursday.

Good to have the Prem back with 2 rounds of games in 4 days. Liverpool 1-1 Everton Burnley 0-1 Tottenham Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace Hull 0-1 West Ham Leicester 2-2 Stoke Man Utd 1-0 West Brom Watford 3-1 Sunderland Southampton 2-1 Bournemouth Swansea 2-1 Middlesboro Arsenal 1-1 Man City

How can Austria produce a decent national team on practically the same amount. But to be dwarfed by Norway and Denmark shows they run their leagues and countries well. Even if we did get more from SKY I wouldn't trust the powers that be to spend it fairly or wisely. Its an argument for summer football though. More viewers would tune in when there is no Premier League to say a Aberdeen v Rangers / Hearts v Celtic game. And an Rangers v Celtic game in the July sun would generate bigger audiences. But we would end up getting out done by this ICC summer friendlies who are paying silly money to get Europes big clubs around the world.

I agree with this one because its essential we qualify for the group stages and year in year out we see dross from the SPL playing unknown sides who are into their domestic season knocking them out. Im pretty sure id we add depth to the squad then holidays can be back dated on a rota basis to allow some players a rest after the qualifiers.

There is a fair list but Kyle probably for me. He made Boyd look mobile.

Yup my school holidays from aged 7 or 8 until 17 consisted of playing football even twice a day even during term time we'd play at school every lunch time and then 5 a sides in the winter nights or in the park in the summer. I remember in one of my older houses when I was around 9 years old we had a great patch of grass in a cul-de-sac and about 7 or 8 kids from the street would play every day until a council sign went up saying No Ball Games because a few old residents weren't happy about the ball rolling under their cars. Disgrace. I think a switch to Summer football would help standard from a clubs point of view but grass roots have to do something about getting kids in playing without worrying about posting their lunch photos.

Nothing wrong with going in for a recovery day although players still do need time off like everyone else - however to go in temporarily on a Wed to make improvements is a good attitude to take. But it depends on their daily hours and if they get other time off. I honestly wouldn't know what a footballers schedule is but it is probably different at every club. It could either be sitting at home watching TV or sitting in luxury facilities at Murray Park doing light walking, Jacuzzi's or massages.

Last CL game I was at. Unfortunately not the last Euro match as I made a Malmo game later in the year which wasn't quite as good.

That's the first thing that came to mind for me also. There is nobody on the list we should be aiming to sign from other clubs. Hill and Miller should be given another year but Senderos hasn't worked out and will move on.

An 88th minute winner papered over cracks and Strachan should leave to give someone a chance in the second have of the qualifying campaign. Drawing with Lithuania was the last straw. Who could come in? Well Malky McKay would probably be favourite unbelievably. But Big Eck should get it as he is proven to get a reaction straight away and that is whats needed for the last 5 games. After that it will be between McInnes and Lambert.

Miller, Hill, Hyndman are the top 3. But I would have to give it to Kenny. Hill had a slow start. Hyndman has been a breath of fresh air and I thought Toral would have been the better player but Hyndman has been.

Indyref - joker. I still think Strachan should move aside, having McGhee is embarrassing. Half way through the qualifiers give someone else a chance. Scotland need 4 wins from 5 games to get to the play offs. We've no chance of beating England so then will need to win in Slovenia and Lithuania - chances??

3 foreigner rule would be one. But its all about improving the current product and without TV money its summer football. Smart phones and TVs have taken over the mind of kids and no longer do you get young ones wanting to kick a coke bottle around. This is why you will see countries like Chile, Uruguay and African countries start to do well in tournaments because you will find Alexis Sanchez in the street. You wont find a Davie Cooper in a burger king. Same goes for Wales - without Gareth Bale they wouldnt win games.

Imagine a team containing Roberts, Brown, Hurlock, I Ferguson, Souness, Albertz, D Ferguson....and they could all play a bit also! The Hammer was a gentle giant but you wouldnt mess with him.

They were in the squad along with Trevor Steven but dont think they played much that season. Midfield in 8IAR was mainly made up from Gascoigne, Laudrup, McCall, Miller, McInnes, I Ferguson. EDIT - How could I leave out McCall.
