Why don't we have a match this weekend? I suppose with last weeks game called off and no game until boxing day will give the players a rest and there is no excuse for winning on boxing day and on Dec 30 against Dunfermline to keep the winning run going.

Managers dropping like flies. But this one was on the cards, Spurs should be doing much better. But they were lucky in 2 home games against Hull (1 in the cup), beaten by Newcastle at home, thrashed by West Ham at home, royally humped by Man City and Liverpool. Hoddle, Laudrup, Capello and Benitez all linked and would all be good choices IMO. Zola also left Watford yesterday. The Sheff Wed job still available, managers dropping everywhere. I think Malky Mackay will go next after the Cardiff chairman got annoyed with him yesterday after Mackay said he wants 3 players in January.

Unlucky for Clarke, feel its the wrong decision. West brom have been unlucky with wrong ref decisions that cost them 7 points. Up until 4 weeks ago they were doing well, so he has been judged on 4 results. A cracking coach and I wouldn't mind seeing him at Ibrox one day in some role. Strachan should take him on board for some international experience. I wonder if McLeish will be a contender for the West Brom job and probably be the first man to manage all 3 Birmingham clubs! That would be something.

Arsenal were full of errors. Monreal was terrible. They gifted City the 3rd goal. Ref and linesman was poor also, giving Man City 2 wrong decisions which led to 2 goals. Not saying City weren't the better team but they were assisted by mistakes and the refs.

^ what a squad of players!!!!

Man City v Arsenal. Potential belter. Arsenal always go to win games and Man City at home are awesome. Arsenal were poor at Old Trafford but Utd came out to try stop Arsenal playing while City will come out an attack which means Arsenal will hit on the counter. I still fear Arsenal's defence will collapse at some point, they are playing well as a unit all calendar year but they still lack pace at centre half and Aguero could really get in about them. Going forward both teams have awesome talent. But it depends how fit Giroud is. Both have depth in midfield so Arsenal can bring n Wilshire and Ramsay who sat out the last game but a good point made earlier was City have got 4 top strikers while Arsenal have one. Although Podolski and Walcott can play through the middle and are fit again they wont today. Im going for a draw, possibly 2-2 but I'll have a flutter on 1-1.

When we had Tugay I knew he was a pretty good player and was capable of something a bit extra but he wasn't in most peoples starting XI at the time as we had Albertz, Van Bronckhurst, Ferguson, Reyna, De Boer and McCann all at their peak. But I usually click onto Skysports video website and watch that Paul Merson program where he has players and ex players on giving their all time I-XI of the players they have played with. Tugay is getting into teams quite regularly and players cant speak highly enough of him saying he was a genius. Dean Saunders was the latest this week and said he should have been playing for 1 of the big 4. Tugay has been mentioned in 3 teams in the last 2 months. Why did we sell him in the end? IIRC he wasn't one of the players who wanted to leave. I recall Reyna and Gio wanting to play at a higher level but not Tugay. Seems we had another World Class player on our books.

That's good to hear. Although it looks a wonderful stadium it still just doesn't have that classic feeling anywhere near like the last Wembley. There hasn't been too many good games played there and the atmosphere never sounds great on TV plus the angle of the cameras isn't high enough IMO during games. Still, its got plenty time to turn it around. I feel England need to host a World Cup to get it up there.

Id give him a run on the right to see how he does.

Nothing will beat running out for Rangers when we’re back in the top flight
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
I wonder how the players who left 18 months ago feel now. We have half way through this journey back to the top and when we do get promotion it will be pretty big and the first home match will be huge yet none of them will be part of it because they jumped ship when youngster like MacLeod showed them how its done. -
There has to be a fine line. We cant expect people to be robots and sit in silence on a train yet there is no place on a train for bouncing around making noise etc. I guess without the exact facts we can only speculate. I used to take the train to Ibrox from Aberdeen for most games more so than the bus purely for the enjoyment day out and sitting having a few drinks on the train. At the very most we would be having a good chat and big carry out both ways and never bothered anyone other than in a good way. On the way back we'd always be rather tipsy but never caused an ounce of trouble. But people feel intimidated these days by the sight of football fans.
-
Other than Wallace there isn't too many players who would attract a decent fee therefore selling players now and trying to replace them would set us back a year.

I went to the Nou Camp in 2003 and thought it was a fantastic place to be, you can really feel the energy. But with times every club needs a revamp or a new ground. if they follow Bayern Munich then they wont look back. they left the huge Olympic stadium to go to their cracking new stadium. If Barca roof the Nou Camp it would put in a great atmosphere. But revamping a ground that size could be more difficult that just building a new one from scratch.
-
I don't think anyone is denying that and I completely agree but I cant work out how the conclusion was to ban them from Rangers games.
-
The build up to the game was one of the best things about it, from about Thursday onwards countdown to kick off couldn't come quick enough. In the last few years there was a few games which became a bit of an anti-climax but when you got a cracking game like the 4-2 win at Parkhead a few years ago when Cousin scored in the first minute and Mendez hit the screamer there was no better games!
-
What is the connection between Rangers matches and offensive songs on a train? If they were singing Rangers songs this could be deemed offensive to everyone else on the planet, does that mean Ibrox would be empty every week? If they were singing songs that have no relation to Rangers then surely the punishment should have been a banning from travelling on trains?
-
Not sure how anyone could miss playing against teams, people and for a league that is ran by people who made us a doormat. If the circumstances was different and we dropped to the bottom tier on our own accord and had had support of some chairmen and those (attempting) to run the game then yes missing the top flight action may have been felt.
-
So long as we spend the money wisely its maybe not a bad thing. Templeton s disappointing, will be interesting to see where he goes in the future! His petulance could cost him a career by the sounds of things.
-
Jeez....Shiels! Totally forgot about him. He was one player I thought was a peach of a signing at the time yet injury and poor form has made him the forgotten man.
-
Fixed that sentence for you mate But yeah a new ground in Stanley Park has too much common sense about it. 65000-70000 would tick the boxes. I really hope Everton kick on this season after they lose today and get into the CL league, Id like to see them do well and get a bit of investment behind them.
-
Little and McCulloch upfront for me. Worked very well last season, and I would stretch to say Templeton could have a run upfront playing off someone.
-
Not for me. Miller yes, Boyd no. I think we are ok upfront. Id prefer Ally turned his attentions to the defence long term.
-
Sounds like that's where Liverpool are falling behind - the stadium. Why they don't build a joint stadium in Stanley Park with Everton is baffling. They don't have a nasty rivalry and both need a new stadium. If it works in Milan it can work in Liverpool.
-
Boyd with 1 assist 1 goal yesterday in Kilmarnocks win at Ross County. But I was shocked to see the condition of Boyd he looked in the best shape in his career....looks like he lost all his weight and strong. Has he finally matured and realised what being a footballer is all about! His assist and goal was impressive.
-
Faure is a natural centre half? I am struggling to work out why he doesn't get a chance there next to Mohsni for next season. At RB id try Peralta, that's his apparent 2nd position after centre mid...perhaps the reason why he hasn't performed at RM.
