Gribz

Fair play to the ball boys for handing out the pies for you 2 when you were running down that flank!

The title of this thread should be changed to 5 points clear. (hibs are more of a challenge than the mhanks) :spl:

Have to say us 3 (Pete, Craig and me) have probably been the most critical of Boyd (Cammy has also)....but if all 3 of us can see the improvements then its fair play to Boyd. I think he is maturing which is the main factor to improving his game. He is far from a world class player but he is certainly a better all round player.

Jordan has got massive knockers. But seriously he is a good coach and would be a good assistant. Daliglish won the title with Liverpool and Blackburn. Moyes and Ferguson was more of a reference that we can provide excellent coaches. LOL, not bad for a copper.

There is some shocking hair cuts aswell! Whats wrong with short back and sides!?!

I want to see Scotland appoint the best possible candidate especially when we ooze good managers like Moyes, Sir Alex, Joe Jordan, George Graham, Dalglish etc. Look at Paul Lambert down south - he did terrific with Wycome, Colchester and now Norwich. Thats the type of up and coming manager id rather see, not a moaning greeting face twat like Levein.

Stewards enquiry :box:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/8424274.stm Levein to be offered the job. This is a lack of ambition and imagination buy the SFA.

Your sacked for having silver hair I lead the Barry Ferguson school and I say Pete is PLG so your sacked :devil:

2-1 to the Gersnet! Frankie and Gribz for the goals

Crikey! Didnt realise it was him in charge then! Just doesnt seem right though, this has obviously been planned for a while as his appointment was imminent and they have taken Brian Kidd on also. Aston Villa are making Man City look unprofessional.

Whittaker in midfield? Im with Craig on this one and cant believe its even a suggestion. And got abuse for liking Buffel but someone is suggest Whittaker as our central midfielder??? Bring back Konterman :fish:

It was obvious he wasnt the man the owners wanted. Only 2 defeats all season is the best in the league at the moment and 1 of them (Man U away) they were totally unlucky. The most surprising thing is the Mancini appointment. What has he done in management?? I can see Man City turning out to be a bit of joke

I knew the hammers would get something from this game, great result for the Gooners, they just have to beat Bolton in the game in hand and they will be 3 pts behind.

Danny, i think we should give u the nickname The Realist!

Thats a couple of cracking games also. This is exactly how a cup comp shold be played, no silly seedings.

I'll start with Rothen. Ive seen him once or twice on the telly and he looked slow and struggled to get on the ball, it could be down to the difference in style between SPL and the continent. As for Buffel he had the creativity we needed at that time and played some terrific games under Eck and normally it was when Ferguson played behind him. WS just didnt give him a 2nd chance after his injury, but I remember him playing in away reserve midweek games in the winter to try win his place back yet WS still didnt give him a sniff. As for Lovenkrands - big time player with a good scoring record in CL and old firm matches. He is playing quite well for Newcastle at the moment and the Championship is a better standard than the SPL.

Totally agree. While I also agree that there is worse people like jefferies, Calderwood etc I still dont think Levein is the up and coming promising manager everyone says, he is a decent SPL manager full stop. Ok he has got Dundee Utd back to being a top 5 club between Hibs and Hearts but that isnt a mass achievement when you see how poor the level of the SPL is. Its a huge jump to take the national side to the next tournament. Considering the successful other Scots out there this would be a poor appointment. Im leaning towards what Craig Brown said and have Daliglish and Joe Jordan with Gary McAllister as a coach. If he does get it then I do think he will be a lot better than Burley.

And what about the rest of the team? There are plenty who have put in several shocking displays but dont get near the same criticism.

Yeah he wont play there but I always thought he was a decent strker before he joined us and did well in an inside left role also. So it would be interesting to see how he would play now and who he would link up well with, it would also probably get a lot of boo boys off his back. im far from his biggest fan in midfield or defence but he is going to be 1 of these players who will be a fans target unless he is playing out of his skin.

Erm....Spurs thumped Man City 3-0 last night playing Lennon on 1 wing and Kranjicar on the other with Huddlestone and Palacios holding in the middle.

You have stated the difference. Eck played it like a 4-2-4. He left the midfield fat too light weight with the likes of Konterman and Ricksen in there whom neither were midfielders, and Tuesday was like played a proper 4-4-2 with 11 players in their current natural positions (I say current as McCulloch and Novo were originally a strikers but have probably found there new comfortable positions. Also Broadfoot and Papac were centre halfs yet seem like better full backs - this is what happens, even Henry started as a winger moving onto a world class striker).

I feel like SAlly giving you a groan. :fish: He has a good record in Europe and against Celtic. It doesnt help he gets moved about on both wings and doesnt play in his natural role as a striker, plus he is on the bench more often than not as some think he is a impact player and better off the bench - Ive never bought that argument and he would start every game for me unless was out of form.

Id currently have McCulloch ahead of Thomson aswell, but i still dont rate him and once Mendes and Edu are fit they should be well ahead of him and id prefer to see McCulloch play upfront sometime. Davis has been better in the centre. I take it the Rothen comment should have a smilie!
