As a geography fan I often look at the fixtures and see what team and fans have long distance journeys or short distance travelling. What I came across this weekend is that all the London based clubs in Premier League and Championship are all playing IN London on a Saturday....this has to be a first. What other city in the world could host so many big games on the same day!! Busy day for Metropolitans Finest and lets hope the Tube drivers dont strike. Arsenal v Swansea Fulham v Tottenham QPR v Aston Villa West Ham v Chelsea Crystal Palace v Brighton Millwall v Charlton

Wimbledon and MK Dons in potential FA Cup clash
Gribz replied to simplythebest's topic in General Football Chat
This game is on Sunday, quite intriging. Some Wimbledon fans want to boycott the ground to not give MK a penny but in a cup game they will receive some of the gate so surely they would take a big crowd. Calscot, are you going along to this? -
More the case of would he could not have done. Running up to the fans at Fir Park with 6 fingers showing his support for Ferguson said it all about the respect he didnt have. People spoke about how players should show up in shirt and tie etc as Rangers are all about standards, a guy comes in and tries to change methods yet a Ferguson and his mob disapproved and Boyd backed him in public. I was glad on the day he left Rangers. As Kuznetsov says going on to win the title without him showed we didnt rely on him.
-
The only way Ashley could get something is to re name a section of the ground. Perhaps the Sports Direct Club Deck. Or why doesnt he do a shirt sponsor? That would work. When does Tennents run out? Changing Ibrox is a non starter.
-
That would be fat londoner
-
Everyone entitled to an opinion, but Buffel had more talent on an off day than Boyd. Granted Buffel didnt play to his max every week but when he did play he was a cracking player. Still recall beating Celtic in Aug 2005 when he ran the show.
-
A big boost! Templeton is the player I have the highest hopes for in the next few years.
-
Fee a bit sorry for Elgin, what should have been their biggest pay day(s) in their history (playing Rangers home then away in the cup in 7 days is beyond their dreams) is screwed up by an admin error. They should get the money back this weekend. But I hope the 25k goes to people who are out of pocket rather, not just fans but many arrangements will have been put in place. Correct decision to call it off due to possibilities of over crowding.

Scottish Premier League clubs agree to 'explore expansion'
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in Rangers Chat
That made me chuckle straight away. SFA and Professional in the same sentence. The SPL's idea of an expansion will be 12 and half clubs! I am still trying to work out their proposal, a league of 12 spliting into 2 groups of 8 something involving clubs from the league below? How mad can they get? Makes the Belgian set up look like a piece of cake. -
The name is a non starter for me, it already failed at Newcastle. Im up for a good sponsorship deal with renaming, although beeping Ibrox in the name would be good, but 99% of people will still say they are going to Ibrox on Matchdays unless its a catchy one. I still cant believe nobody has contacted Apple about having 'I'brox. That is a genuine belter. Stadium names seem to only work when a new ground gets built.

Nobody is thriving on anything, we are just giving our honest opinions about a previous player.

***2012-13 Barclays Premier League***
Gribz replied to simplythebest's topic in General Football Chat
2 horse race for the title now between the Manchester Clubs. I did the Premier league predictor in Oct and predicted Chelsea would be 10 points behind Utd by end of Nov, had Utd won at Norwich this would have been the case. Arsenal are gone and could end up having their worst season since Wenger took over. Everton looked a match for anyone until the lost 1 or 2 to injury and were always going to drop points then. 3rd and 4th place are up for grabs to the most consistant team. Would be refreshing to see Everton and West Brom have a real go and make it. -
The Europa cup is so de-valued until the final they have to do something. It should be a reduction of CL teams and put some higher profile teams back in the Europa. More knock out games need to be played....and the Cup winners cup could be brought back. This will make matches far more interesting. But the money makers will never go for that, pound in the pocket before the interests of the game.
-
Platini and his corrupt cronnies giving it some thought. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20523405 This would have been on the agenda years ago to globalise the game. First get rid of the Cup winners cup and bring in more teams to the CL to de-value the UEFA cup which includes CL drop outs....then scrap the latter and have a massive Euro comp. The Euro game was ruined by the fat money cats bringing in more CL clubs. Even just 10 years ago a UEFA cup run was something to look forward to and one the big clubs went for. You'd get likes of Inter v Chelsea which was massive, but now I dont even recall who are the Europa Cup holders!!!
-
Thank you for that! My thoughts exactly but I could add a few pages!
-
Did ok last season but started shaky this season - but then again the whole team did! We need as much players as possible and if it means not having McCulluch in defence and keeping him upfront where he should be then Goian is welcome back.
-
:devil: Him and Kyle upfront in training shouldnt cause too many defenders a problem
-
This is what we need to do in January, bring in a few talented youngsters.
-
Its refreshing to be away from the bile in the SPL. SFL needs to bide its time and stick to their guns with their proposal....Rangers are a member and we are the major attraction. SPL will have to give in eventually.

Mark Clattenburg cleared by FA as Chelsea's Mikel is charged
Gribz replied to simplythebest's topic in General Football Chat
Clattenburg is a bit of a ham but deserves to get on with his daily job...he will now be made to look unfair at every game he refs now....poor chap. There was a conspiracy behind this.... It detrailed the John Terry issue very quickly.... I hope its 0-0 on Sunday -
Michael Mols tells SPL to ditch investigation into dual contracts
Gribz replied to simplythebest's topic in Rangers Chat
But Mols didnt instigate anything....whoever did should be the person to be pissed of at. -
They expect Guardiola to take over....yet he was handed Messi, Xavi and Iniesta on a plate...I could win the CL with them on my team. The more Chelsea start to go down hill the better.....

Incredible Mexes goal for Milan v Anderlecht
Gribz replied to 54andcounting's topic in General Football Chat
Yeah better goal for me also. Trevor Sinclairs overhead kick is the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q0ANjqm0YY -
Chelsea are a joke....now they lost their spine in Terry, Fat Frank and Drogba they are getting found out. They had a kind run of fixtures in first 8 games and got points on the board, now they are found out. I hope they keep sinking......wanker of a owner. Di Matteo was a legend of a player....this is a feeble (sp) excuse for a sacking. Benetiz...haha....Man City on Sunday...I hope its 0-0
