Gribz

Wonder if he has a release contract

I have tended to hope the our league gets co-efficient points in the past for the benefit of our league and more so Rangers. But if ever there was a year for it to benefit Rangers with Celtic not qualifying it was this year. The financial rewards for Celtic would have been huge this year allowing them to get ahead of us returning to the top flight next year.

Wasn't there a Gretna player Deuchars who broke scoring records in the lower leagues but was never heard of again? Clark hit a silly amount of goals for QofS but doesn't look like he could get double figures for us. I am guessing part of the reason was the Championship was slightly easier in his good season with no Rangers, Hearts and Hibs and you have to give QotS credit, they seem to be a good footballing side and Clark probably benefitted from that.

Probably a player I will forget even wore the jersey eventually but good luck to him. We certainly had worse strikers during the last 3 years like Kevin Kyle and Boyd Spell2. As for Black, just a poser but could probably do a job for a Motherwell or St Johnstone.

1 round at a time although we have nothing to fear from anyone. Whilst we have taken giant steps in 6 games compared to last season we still have a bit to go. In saying that we should always have been good enough in the last few years to give at least 6 or 7 top flight teams a game but Hearts are proving that getting structures right means they can have a proper go and I expect us to do even better than them. A good test would be Dundee Utd. We have came up against them in cup comps and been put out but now we have improved it would be a good measurement. Alternatively Motherwell after the play offs in May would be a good test. Lets do the job against Airdrie first and see what the hot and cold balls brings us. I was always a fan of the league cup, we had fantastic success in it but the SFA screwed it up by making the final into the next calendar year. It should be taken back to its original calendar dates of starting in August and the Final being in October / November

Sunday football.....Which is good could mean we get more Saturday games if they are playing every sunday.

Arsenal exactly the same as previous seasons, not delivering when the season starts. Only difference is Cech in goal turned a defeat into a draw. Wenger accommodating Cazorla, Ramsay and Ozil in the same team is hurting them. It should be 2 from those 3 with Chamberlain / Walcott and Sanchez in the outside positions and Coquelin sitting.

If City blow Everton away today then I agree, it seems they have a anger and revenge about them so fair play to Pellegrini to getting them together. Toure and Kompany have had a full summer rest after playing Interntionals for 2 summers and I think its showing already. Still early though, teams have had stuttering starts before and came good. I think Chelsea will get the cheque book out this week also with Pogba and Stones but if Costa and Falcao arent fit their problem will be upfront. Still another 3 games before the table starts to take shape. The match at Emirates tomorrow will be good. Can see Liverpool nicking a draw.

Couldnt watch the full clip, he was starting to make me depressed. 4-0 at home to Ross County is some licking though

A good point for newcastle. Will be interesting to see if Man U dip into the transfer market now.

Rebuilding an entire footballing structure which was in a mass state of mess and then locating and putting together 9 new players and moulding them playing well is easy??? Well then again Warburton is magic

Agree with that, having 2 natural bombing forward full backs is Rangers of old and I like it (Stevens / Robertson / Numan / Munro to name a few) and at this level I think we will get away with it no end. Its also still early days for the unit to gel, and Weir will mould them in. Id give it 6 games before they get start to look like a unit. Its 3 players who had never played together.

City 3-0 Chelsea. I didnt see that one coming, I thought Mourinho would pull something out the hat. SBS gone a bit quiet. Chelsea look disjointed and I think its down to Mourinho, he doesn't seem happy (again). Their squad is not near big enough. They need 3 signings in the mould of Stones, Pogba and Reus. City look totally refreshed and hungry. Kompany and Toure were having world cup hangovers last season but after a resting summer they have returned to their best and look awesome. Still very early days but with Champions League coming up unless Chelsea sign players they wont make top 4 playing like they have in their opening 3 games (including Community Shield).

Miller staying was a no brainer for me. He is a proper professional, still well capable of scoring at this level even if he was a bit part player. Im sure W&W will be looking after him in training the right way.

Good point. Dundee Utd didn't sell him to Hibs for no reason and he was playing Cowdenbeath, Alloa and Livingston last season. Very good point.

TBH I thought he was a bit silky but nothing special and would have turned out to be another Kevin Thomson who I never really rated. I think W&W have contacts for far better players.

As mentioned before, spend the money on MacLeod coming back, that was my preference.

No offence meant mate. The past is the past between their record though. In terms of Premier League Arsenal used to have a great record over Chelsea and now its swang over...doesn't mean to say one will do better than the other this season, the proof will be in the pudding. I thought Arsenal were arrogant on Sunday and west ham call their bluff, superb performance by them. Arsenal have looked super good all summer yet when the big kick off came they lost again. Still think Chelsea need Pogba to boss their midfield. If they got him they would win the CL.

How good was Coutinho's goal for Liverpool!!

5 at best.

Just an ignorant comment and they started well yesterday. 2 flukey goals, they will struggle to win this league unless they sign Pogba.

Well Id say mixed. West Ham have to stay in the Premier League this season so going into the new stadium they have top flight football. We know what this Europa Cup can do to teams and Everton were in a relegation battle last season until they got knocked out so a lot of Hammers will be Happy they are out and don't have the Thursday Sunday games. A few called Talksport after the game and said its a good thing. A run in Europe is nice but until they are settled and have a squad capable of playing both they will wait. A new manager is in and trying to embed new players and a new style, that could take time and cost points.

Make that West Ham Reserves. They only had Nolan and Jenkinson from the first team. Looks like they are putting their eggs into one basket and concentrating on the league only.

Agree on all. Falcao didn't look like a player for Man Utd. Chelsea will have to wave a magic wand to get something out of him. Its a shame, prior to his injury he was the highest rated out of Atletico Madrids previous strikers which included Torres, Aguero and Costa. But I agree with Hazard he can be unplayable at times and if Hazard and Fabregas play well Chelsea win games. Wenger seems to like Monreal for some reason. He has improved but still wouldn't get into Chelsea or Citys team. I prefer Gibbs at LB. It would be good if Paulista comes good and starts a partnership with Koscielny. Cech adds so much to their defence but they still need a world class centre half. Chambers has to step up, he hasn't came on to justify a 16m price tag and Debuchy is a good squad player. Upfront they will score goals with Sanchez, Walcott, Giroud and Welbeck. Man Utds downfall will be defence. Jones and Smalling are the new O'Shea and Brown and nowhere near the new Vidic and Rio like they were bought for. But if they get Pedro in then their forward line is enough to score more than the opposition bar the other big 4. Pedro, Rooney and Depay with Mata behind them is pretty frightening.

And I'll be en route to Cambodia, not quite so gutted when you go to this place...the 50p beers and girls are worth skipping the football for.
