A tidy coupon win yesterday. Had Draws at Bournemouth and Swansea plus Stoke to win. $677 in the hipper. Thinking of lumping it all on a draw at Stamford bridge today.

Is that Tomas Brolin??

Surely Warburton on the left

Fixed that for you Frankie. Welcome back Norris and I hate Coronation St. I cant believe we are discussing Swedish girls with no photos....old men eh!!! Whosthedado takes these type of girls to games.

This is tough. Foderingham Tavernier Senderos Hill Wallace Halliday Rossiter Windass Waghorn Miller Mckay

Sleeping Giants. I have a soft spot for the latter 2.

When the 1996 Euros draw came out I was bouncing plus the 2000 Play off. Now I don't actually care.

BM have a good chance now to qualify, if they win the return leg against Celtic then they have City at home in a decider so long as City don't beat Barca which is unlikely. Arsenal in superb form in the other group.

None of them are finished. Schweinsteiger has regressed but could still do a job for most teams. Carrick is well in his twilight but still a class act. Rooney is nowhere near the same player granted. But they should still be using those players far better.

13700 official tickets, yet there will be a few thousand in the England end.

I said the same before the last OF game, play Tavernier on the right wing and Hodson at RB in a 4-5-1. The other option is O'Halloran but I think Tav is out best right sided attacker. Is Rossiter fit? The central trio will be interesting, does he play Rossiter with Halliday then Holt infront of them or Windass or Forrester.....Plenty options.

Don't think so Murdo. Back at a Neutral venue makes things a bit more level. We self destructed at Parkhead and admittedly the manager got his team and tactics wrong. The fact we don't have to wait until New Year to rectify that is a boost and probably an advantage.

Man Utd fans must be wondering why they are going to Anfield and shutting up shop, Sir Alex wouldn't have done that in a million years. Chelsea away next weekend for Man Utd, wonder if Mourinho will do the same and play for a draw. If they don't get 3 points but Arsenal and Man City beat Middlesboro and West Brom respectively the gap will be about 7 points. Man U should be playing better they have talent in abundance. Schneiderlin, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Pogba, Carrick, Young, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Martial, Zlatan, Rooney.....they should be finding a better formula with that list.

Big game tonight / tomorrow (depending your time zone). I usually don't care too much about this fixture as I always prefer seeing Man Utd v the London clubs as bigger games but this one had appetite. I like Klopp but don't like Liverpool. But they are playing well. Jose knows how to go there and not lose, but his selections have been debateable recently. Im going for a 1-1 draw.

Shop owners stand to make a fortune on the day of the game with sales. I like the fact the NY game has been brought back but agreed it should be on the 1st or the 2nd.

1 game at a time. Its a pity the league will be interrupted as we are finding form. Hopefully MW has learned from the last OF game about team selection but he has a dilemma because Kranjcar was out of place in that game due to the pace of it but at the moment he is playing well when he gets the ball - he wont get the same time in an OF game so should he play? We need to start putting away the run of mill teams like St Johnstone and Kilmarnock, two wins there surely. Away to Ross County - A repeat of Friday night just past. Glasgow Derby at Firhill - should win. Dundee at home - win. So we should be aiming for 5 wins there. Hearts away - All Rangers sides should be capable of winning there but lets be see how our form is. For me I just want to start seeing us winning a bit easier again, the last Ross County game sticks in the head where we played well but couldn't win, same as the opening day match against Hamilton, its these matches that need to be turned into wins and we take it from there. Steady progress.

I didn't realise the MLS used to do shootouts instead of Penalties. A player runs from outside the area and must shoot outside the box but the keeper is allowed out. It actually may make it more interesting than Penalties. Pretty sure the top players would chip the keeper everytime but if the keeper stays on his line and the taker has to shoot from the edge of the box he has a better chance.

Solo's

Havent seen much of him TBH but when McKay is off form it would be good to see him given a run. I know he is more so a right sided player but Ive always liked wingers who can play both sides, its maybe something he could do. At least we have decent depth at the moment.

Good day out? Where did you sit? Easy enough to get tickets or was that through your work, if I recall you had a link with tickets for Arsenal. Its Arsenal to a T Craig. At 2-0 I was sitting watching thinking if this was Man Utd or Spurs it would be game over but time and time again Arsenal while cruising could concede and end up losing or drawing. Right enough Swansea got on the end of a mistake and it was edgy. But the difference this season is they won the game. That's 6 on the trot and they are almost at full strength squad wise, and with Middlesboro and Sunderland in their next 2 they could be flying in a few weeks.

Everton are a really well set up team all over and are capable of holding their own against all teams, they just need to be consistent. I am not convinced with man Citys defence. I had a bet on a draw, unfortunately I also had West Ham v Palace to draw also.

Yip After the first 4 or 5 games you could see an absolute brand new proper side who could be top 4. They looked as good as anyone. I fancy them to get a draw today though. Would like to see it. Tottenham is the one that sneaks under the radar. Big game for them. They have beaten Man City comfortably but its these matches away to West brom that can define a season. Awkward opposition, if they win there then they are right in there.

Champions Leicester getting a reality check. They have came back down to earth. They were on a ride last season and that's it. I thought they might raise their game to get a draw at Chelsea plus with Chelsea not firing on all cylinders. But this could be 3 or 4 nil. Big Game for Arsenal later, they have been beaten by Swansea a couple of times at home in the last few season. Everton could get a point at Man City to make things interesting.

No way. We missed a trick not getting rid sooner.
