Fancied Liverpool all week until I saw the 5-3-2 line up but they still pulled it off. I dont like Liverpool but thats a cracking win and magic to see Chelsea lose again. Amazingly Liverpool are in sight of the Champions league spots, only 2 wins behind Chelsea now. And Arsenals sole point against Newcastle still looks decent now after all the games from the weekend. Good weekend for Spurs and Man City also. Sets the Manc derby up nicely next weekend.

This probably doesnt warrent a reply but considering you called me nuts on another thread today I think this about sums you up.

Congrats Cammy.....I expect them to be signed up at Murray park in a few years

Was watching it live and as soon as Diaby got sent off I fancied newcastle to get back in it. Arsenal just collapsed and looked like they would concede. Barton was dirty all afternoon and it was a challenge before half time that diaby was probably reacting to. The 2nd pen was never a pen and the first was soft. The equaliser was a peach. Couldnt believe my eyes, Arsenal should have been ahout 7-0 up by half time. No team should lose a 4 goal lead with 25 mins to play. But with Man U losing it is a good point bizarrely as Arsenal have Wolves at home next week while Man U have Man city. But the worrying thing is Chelsea could find themselves back in it if they beat liverpool today as they still have to play Man U twice. But I fancy a draw there today or even a Liverpool win. Goals galore in the Premier league though, 5-3 to everton, 4-3 to Wigan, 3-2 to Stoke......

German league play games on friday afternoons??? Id love to go to Dortmunds stadium....probably my fave ground in Europe. Remember your camera old man!

When he retires and is telling his grandkids about his football career, I dont know if this guy has the right to say he played for Rangers. 3 games in 4 years is laughable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Webster

Never heard of Andrew Smith before but what an absolute tit. Like Craig I stop reading very early.
-
Id agree with that....Hemdani was a cracking player. But the concern with mcculloch is he isnt even a real midfielder yet we're relying on him to play a bit role.
-
I still say if 3-5-2 and any formation for that matter (except Leveins 4-6-0) can work if you have the right players. Some 4-4-2s back four is full of 4 centre halfs, all your then doing is taking 1 away and putting in an extra bit of creativity in the midfield. You have to rely on your wide men to get back a but though and weiss and naismith wouldnt be the best at that.

Cant beat a 'pick XI' players thread especially with a beer in hand to cure a hangover (its Chinese New Year so might as well celebrate). The team would depend on whether its XI on current form or taking the probable best "on their day" XI. WS seems to prefer the latter and relies on the likes of Davis and McCulloch to perform every week and rather than drop them which can do them good he will still play them. Im hoping Bartley could be a success but until Ive seen him I cant include him. With everyone fit Id go: :kb::mb::sp: :vw::sd::me::sn: :ehd::nj: or tempted to go back to my old favourite 3-5-2: :mb::sp: :vw::sd::me::jn::sn: :ehd::nj:

January 2011 Transfer Window - Healy, Diouf and Bartley IN
Gribz replied to stewarty's topic in Rangers Chat
Yip not to bad if all 3 perform well especially if we get the best out of Diouf although thats a bit shaky. Glad 2 sicknotes are away. Webster has been nothing short of a disgrace and beattie is pretty much finished, he is one of those players who peaked early and after turning 30 struggled to run. -
If there is 1 club where you want to take a young player on loan from then its Arsenal.
-
35 million upfront plus add ons is a lot but I like the look of Carroll. he reminds me of a cross between Duncan Ferguson and Dado Prso. He has strength of Ferguson and work rate of Prso. Considering liverpool only spent 7 million on Suarez and Carroll after the Torres cash its not a bad way to look at it, those 2 can get as much goals together as Torres would.

January 2011 Transfer Window - Healy, Diouf and Bartley IN
Gribz replied to stewarty's topic in Rangers Chat
Cant see this one due to wages again. But would be a good signing, he is a solid defender. -
Disagree. while its not the most attractive signing Id rather have Healy than Riordan. Noticed Alan Gow was playing for Notts County against Man City yesterday. A lot of people, myself included, thought he deserved a chance when at Ibrox but he obviously hasnt impressed nobody at a higher level than Englands 3rd tier either.
-
Back to league business on Wed and originally I fancied the games in hand in preference to points on the board but the last few games has knocked a wee bit of confidence in me although all that can still change with 1 result. Our 2 games in hand still puts us a point clear but we need to move up a gear or two. The team is in need of freshened up. Id play Weiss, Ness, hutton and Naismith in the middle against Hearts with Healy and Jelavic upfront. Hopefully Aberdeen get their finger out on Wed and get something off Celtic, but we have to beat Hearts.
-
How many strikers do WH need, its defenders thats required. Just signed the guy Ba on a 3 year deal and Robbie Keane is undergoing a medical today. 2 good signings but we still have Carlton Cole, Piquionne, Benni McCarthy (albeit been poor) and Obinnia (on loan). Grant doesnt have time to mess about and try out who will be his best pairing.
-
I wasnt Kevin Thomsons biggest fan but was disappointed he left only for the lack of central midfielders. If edu goes its 1 less again. Ness and Hutton have impressed but cant carry the midfield on their own.

January 2011 Transfer Window - Healy, Diouf and Bartley IN
Gribz replied to stewarty's topic in Rangers Chat
I thought Healy was a bit of poor mans Kenny Miller TBH. He cant be any worse than Beattie though and would put in an honest shift but I still think we should be looking at more cover in midfield or defence. -
Exactly, like Novo said no thanks. Commons seems a bit of a arrogant twat, pity Broadfoot wasnt going to be fit for the Cup match and clamp him like he did pretty well with Mcgeady.
-
I still dont recognise most of their players and they have junk like Mulgrew but their form and goalscoring has to be a bit of a concern. They were nicking 1-0 late wins but recently have beein a bit more convincing. Is it next week we play them in the Scottish Cup? Need to get them back down to earth a wee bit by getting stuck right into them.
-
Bit of a kick in the teeth for liverpool, they sign a 24m player and then Torres hands in transfer request. But if Chelsea come back with that mental rumoured fee of 60 million they should bite the hand off then go use that on the squad. Its rumoured Drogba is on his way out of Chelsea, they should do a deal that involves swap plus cash.

SPL revive plans for television channel 10 years after idea was first mooted
Gribz replied to pete's topic in Rangers Chat
1 more step backwards for the SPL...we're surely losing steps to fall back onto. Would there be a huge demand to watch Hamilton v St Mirren or Kilmarnock v St johnstone?? -

Gribz replied to stewarty's topic in Rangers Chat
Would be a disgrace of a signing. WS enjoyed the old dabble of SPL players during the 90s to make up squad numbers but at the same time he had an open cheque book to sign good players to compliement the team. Signing SPL's run of the mill players without the multimillion signings will set us back further. Give Fleck, Naismith and Lafferty a run upfront rather than this guy. Naismith could move into a centre forward role permanently and play Weiss and Kerkar on the wings. Has anyone seen Kerkar play BTW?? He doesnt seem to get on at all. Where is Gary O Connor these days? He was more of a decent striker for Hibs. -
I hope Holloway and Blackpool stick to their guns and challenge this all the way. They made it clear that they didnt field a weakend team whereas Wolves did make it clear they were chaging things around for their Man Utd game. Plus the rules have changed this season...each club now has a squad of 25 players and can pick whoever they want. Where do you draw the line in weakening a team? everyone obviously has a strongest / best XI so if you make ONE change is that fielding a weaker team?? Man Utd played Gibson against Blackpool this week and left Giggs out...thats weakening their team but will that be mentioned. More fat cats making rules up. As totti says if its delibarate to throw a game then its different but Blackpool deserved a draw in that game against Villa.
