    I will go 3-0. Stenhousemuir might turn out to be our toughest opposition in the league so far this season though as they are going well in the league.

    Really looking forward to this game. Don't have much like for either side is one reason. I think it will be the best game of the season so far, you always get a good atmosphere at White Hart Lane and with a tight ground the game is usually quick pace. Going for 2-1 Spurs. Swansea v Arsenal later should also be a good footballing game, 1-2 Arsenal.

    There is no way halfing costs would double attendances but I'm sure they would rise

    What about the training schedule Barry? We're you ok with that? And did you wise up before the Scotland booze scandal? no.... Regardless of how much we all want Rangers to win, he went against the manager who may have been building things...right or wrong, he should have respected his manager and he proved he couldn't. How is a new era going to be build when its fighting against an old one. Sorry Barry, I don't buy it....we all want Rangers to win but not your style. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned John Brown, and we have all seen how embarrassing he is. Imagine Frank Lampard coming out with something like this Pickled Onion Crisps

    Kenny Miller is the new Robbie Fowler, he's linked every day.

    I thought Zaliukas would have been a good signing. Never mind, his loss!

    Wouldn't say he was a legend in a playing sense but he has been heart and soul of the dressing room and helped lead from the front in the last 18 months and will go down as a legend for those reasons.

    Moyes really needed that!! Their next 5 games in the league are very winnable so if he picks up 12-15 points the pressure is off a bit.

    26 quid for the SPL? No wonder the game is dying. Take a leaf out of the German book and attendances might go up which means more overall income, better atmosphere and maybe a better product.

    Scottish Cup

    Gribz replied to Gribz's topic in Rangers Chat

    We thought that last season but Inverness certain did this!

    Gus Poyet is the favourite. Would be interesting to see how he does in the top flight. Out of the other contenders I think Tony Pulis would keep them up although Im sure the Sunderland fans wouldn't be excited by the prospect of Pulis. Zola and Di Matteo would steady things and it would help with the Italian background to get on with staff and the few Italian players they have. Big Eck would inject good morale but I would still see them in a relegation fight.

    Scottish Cup

    Gribz posted a topic in Rangers Chat

    Following on from a thread in Footie chat about Morton knocking Celtic out the league cup, I thought had we still been in the competition then the trophy would be there for the taken. But my comment was Id still be happy to settle for a League One and Ramsden's Cup double. It got me thinking about the Scottish Cup. Oh yes I'd love to win that but are we ready to compete with the SPL sides? On paper we are. I wouldn't be swapping our squad for any in the SPL right now including Celtics as I think we have the basis of a good squad to compete. Add in a few quality signings when we are back to the SPL then Id say we will be top 2 for sure. It boils again down to our style of play and management ability as to how good we can be, as last season we were easily beaten by Inverness and Dundee Utd. But we are probably far more prepared this season. As we are more prepared with a stronger squad that have had a full pre-season: What is our realistic expectations in the Scottish Cup? Of course the luck of the draw will always come into it. Are some fans still wanting to boycott it in protest towards the SFA and anti-Rangers SPL clubs? I know I could understand that point of view. Does anyone want to avoid playing an SPL side yet in case a) we get turned over and b) assist in financing them? The jury is still out for me. I don't want to return to Tannadice nor head for Pittodrie to satisfy the vile hatred from elements of those places. But if we were to draw Ross County or Kilmarnock I'd take that right now as a) it would be a good test and b) I think we could beat those. I do think the sticky balls will be in play this season and we will get Celtic.

    Makes you think though had we got through our League cup tie then the cup could have been there for the taking!!! I'll settle for a double this season with League one title and Ramsdens. RE the Scottish cup, it would be interesting to have a thread about that, and I'll start it now.
  14. Gribz
    This one is dragging on a bit, either he wants to join or he doesn't.
  15. Gribz
    I hope its not true. Why would you slag a minor team who are one of around 15 clubs who have made Rangers feel welcome while in the low leagues. I could expect it from a 17 year old ned but not someone supposed to be mature. Aside from this point in order to make the Scottish league better I always thought Forfar should join with Arbroath, Brechin and Montrose to become Angus Utd. The 4 teams are all within a 15 mile radius and it would make sense.

    It must be something in the north east in general. There is never shortage of drama and all 3 clubs have been in messes. Middleboro seemed the most sensible out of the 3 at one point and were a good established Premier League team for a while but they are really poor at the moment in the Championship. Newcastle are a soap opera. Sunderland have a terrific set up and one of the best stadiums in the country, but any manager who goes there cant make them a decent team never mind a force despite being backed financially. Only 7th placed finishes by Peter Reid where they once decent. Admin - please move this to the thread already started in football chat.

    They should never have sacked Steve Bruce before O Neill. Very early but obviously to do with his style and man-management. He shouldn't be criticising him players in public after signing 14 players in the summer...and then walking over to the fans and giving them the chin up, whats he thinking! Di Matteo and Big Alex McLeish are the leading favourites. No doubt Big Eck would give the players a good confidence lift as he is a good man manager like that, but he would need someone who knows tactics. Di Matteo did Ok with West Brom, nothing more but then he won the CL with Chelsea! Jury would be out with him. Sunderlands next 3 fixtures: Liverpool, Man Utd, Newcastle.

    Had shocking bets on Saturday. Yesterday I wrote down my coupon of a 4 fold - Arsenal, Swansea, Spurs and City then didn't bother to back it! School boy error!!! I fancied the top 4 this season to be Chelsea, City, Spurs and then Arsenal or Man Utd but since Arsenal got Ozil and Flamini I would put them in. Anyone coming into replace Alex Ferguson was going to have it tough but Moyes just cant win the big games, I think they should have went for Mourinho to continue the trophy winning. Or you even look at what Villas Boas is doing and have to give Spurs credit for giving him a chance. Nice to see an open league though. And thumbs up to Swansea and Michael Laudrup, he just oozes class. Spurs v Chelsea and Villas-Boas v Mourinho next weekend should be a belter.

    If Aaron Ramsay keeps this up it will be Wilshire who ends up getting dropped. I didn't rate Ramsay before but he is flying now. The Ozil signing was cracking, as was Flamini. Prior to that their starting XI was good but Rosicky and Diaby are injury prone, Ramsay and Wilshire had long term knocks and if Cazorla got injured there was nobody else. Now they have all them plus the width from Walcott, Chamberlain and Podolski.....and that is there key area. 1-1 at the moment with Stoke though. I fancy Man City to win 2-1 today.

    Football tops should be washed by hand these days
  21. Gribz
    Some coupon busters in the Premier League. Liverpool and Newcastle getting beat. This league will be the most open for years. I cant see anyone running away. Arsenal and Spurs need to win today if they are serious about challenging.

    I just got the new one yesterday shipped over and Im delighted with it. Its probably the best shirt I think we've had since the 90s. It fits superbly too. The only downside is we have a lot of Puma stores here and ive not seen it in one shop. That should have been part of the deal to rase global image. I will look again as the season goes on
  23. Gribz
    Bit bizarre how any semi-final isn't played at neutral ground or over 2 legs. The 2nd leg gives both teams that extra cash. I think the final should be played at Tynecastle or Easter Road. Tynecastle can have a good atmosphere and Easter Road has a 20000 capacity so would still get a good crowd. And if it is the likely Rangers v Raith final then Edinburgh is a fair location for both fans.

    Captain Shoehorn

    Gribz replied to Zappa's topic in Rangers Chat

    McCulloch was never the quickest player but at left midfield and striker he was very decent for Wigan and in his first few Scotland games. He be my first choice striker at the moment with Little along side him.
  25. Gribz
    So Zaliukas hasn't decided? He either wants to sign for the biggest club in Scotland or he doesn't. I can understand if he wants to play at a higher level but he will eventually. Personally I was hoping he'd sign, he be a good solid signing and is no worse than what we have at the back now.
