Are they playing 135 minutes???

I know. If Chelsea had beaten Wigan and Arsenal could finish off teams we would be in for an unreal title rwace (as Sir Awex would say). C'mon Blackburn

They should bring back the Jungle seen as thats exactly what it is like :fish: Paradise your having a laugh Paradise your having a laugh........

Arsenal v Reading - Will be interesting to see how Arsenal react now that there season is over. Reading are still much in the relegation battle. A draw wouldnt surprise me seen as Arsenal have 2 wins in 13 games with most being draws. They are struggling to kill any team off - again, if they find that missing link they would destroy all infront of them. But il go with home win. Blackburn v Man Utd - Could be the game that effectively wins Man Utd the title. If they win they will be 5 clear again going into the Chelsea game. Its a tricky game for them though but I see them winning by a goal. Fulham v Liverpool - Fulhams last chance to save there top flight status. But Liverpool may tinker with the CL semi final coming up. A home win would really throw a spanner in the battle of the bottom but I think it will be a draw. Middlesboro v Bolton - Bolton beat West Ham last weekend and it will spur them on to play Boro. Boro are a decent side on there day. Draw. West Ham v Derby - West Ham's form is terrible and Derby are just making up the numbers. Has to be a big chance for the Hammers to cement a top 10 finish and if they dont win here Curbishley better pack his bags. Banker Home win. Wigan v Spurs - Spurs still pushing for a top 10 finish have been weird since winning the Carling cup. Wigan are pulling good results out the bag when it matters and a point at Chelsea did them wonders plus almost handed Man Utd the title. Home win here to keep Wigan in the league. Sunday: Aston Villa v Birmingham - Martin O Neill v Alex McLeish - they renew there former rivalry from there Old Firm days so this will be a very interesting game. Birmingham need something to keep them in with a fight and Villa still are going for Europe. Narrow home win. Man City v Portsmouth - This has draw written all over it. Newcastle v Sunderland - Most NE derbies always finish in draws, this one will be close but a narrow home win.

Chelsea win 1-0 at Everton which was a potential draw so maybe 4 points from the last 2 isnt do bad but the must be kicking themselves about Wigan. They need Blackburn to do them a favour tomorrow and then it sets up a classic next weekend.

TBH I forgot about Webster there. Who knows what his future holds!! Agree with Calscot - Dailly is proving to be a superb piece of business considering all the games we have, yet he gives his all in every game.

Never been and probably never will go. It is a very depressing place to even look at. Tralio says it looks smaller when there when on TV - I find every stadium Ive been to does except Murrayfield. I remember being there in the top tier behind the goal (posts FFS - rugby shite) and couldnt believe the size of the top tier going all the way round.

There was a hint about it. Had it not been an OF game in the 93rd minute then there would have been a good chance it would had been awarded.

Its not about conspiracies here. Its about the SPL, SFA and the Police doing their jobs. - Simple as that. If they are not then we need to raise the issues at a higher level. IMO it doesnt matter if its a firework, toilet roll, cup of juice or a coin that is thrown - if a person has intent to throw something then the club has to be accountable and sorted out by the authorites.

Agree about Nacho's effort, application and passion. For me he would be one of the first names on the team sheet at the moment. But disagree about him bouncing between sublime and ridiculous. Id say he was one of our more consistant performers. We have a number of players who fit the inconsistancy tag well ahead of Nacho.

How good would it if Aberdeen went and did them again!! But I cant see anything other than a 3-0 or 4-0 humping. As you say Pete Celtic will have gotten a lift and Aberdeen are in a mess with 7 players out of contract and they are on a downer from last weekend. Celtic Win. And agree with the others - all home wins.

Welcome to Gersnet. Very sound forum this BTW!!

Yeah thats a good shout with the possibilities of Naismith for McCulloch and Cousin for Darcheville.

Good stuff Fraser but disagree with your first line - I wouldnt say every Gers player wearing the jersey did themselves proud. Kirk Broadfoot was a nightmare.

Weir may have even sat out the St Johnstone game anyway for a rest!! With Dailly, Papac and Broadfoot all capable of slotting in then it give Weir a rest for the Fiorentina game.

Id say it was worth the risk as if he leaves it its a definate goal, if he stops it there is still the chance that the penalty gets saved or missed - which is what happens. Agree with Johnny, its instant reaction at times and nothing can be done.

This is my point about Ferguson, he continually plays in us hoping he will pull something out of the bag but only does maybe once every 5 or 6 games - not good enough for me! It merits having a seat on the bench and then coming on to make an impact later in the game.

McGregor, Cuellar and Thomson will be missed a lot. But we have options. Im happy enough with Dailly slotting into the back 4 or even Papac into the middle along side Weir to allow S Smith at LB. In midfield, Hemdani and Novo must come in whatever and Id look at Naismith for McCulloch. We saw last night in the 2nd half that we started to play a bit more in their half we looked a better side - so more of the same in the next game. Upfront id consider Cousin aswell next Sunday.

No doubt about it at all - Novo. He changed the way the game was going and showed us again he should be starting every game right now. His attack minded play pushes the opposition back whereas when we have Whittaker it more invites the opposition to play further forward. McGregor would be 2nd.

Tough one to take due to it being in injury time but we could afford to lose one of the OF games, now we have to make sure we dont lose next Sunday. I think Cuellar did the correct thing, we would have got away with it if we held onto the draw and would be saying well done Carlos. He is going to be a huge miss in the next game though. Walter got it very much wrong in the first half. We shouldnt have to play 2 left backs to worry about McGeady - he isnt that good that we take away a midfield position - and thats what effected us. It allowed their midfield 3 on the ball and let them come at us. As soon as Novo came on they HAD to be more aware defensively. This is just a wee slip up, we had to lose a game sometime, but its harder to take after McGregor saving the pen and this being last minute. But, we go there again in 10 days time and Walter will have to get it right again as if we lose for a 2nd time then the real pressure is on. IMO he got it wrong to start with last night but the good thing is he noticed it and changed it at half time - 2nd half we were much better. Novo proves again he HAS to be a starter. Why did Hemdani not even make the bench? He would have slotted in perfect last night instead of Ferguson who was nowhere.

And Beasley will be back soon aswell

Partick loyal, and i thought you were looking for a safe passage

Read this on sky news earlier. Why dont they take the brand overseas? Running costs would be far less and SE Asia for one area would be a huge hit for JJB. Ive yet to see a Rangers top for sale in Singapore yet there is quite a number of fans here. Its not just Rangers items, if the british brand of running shoes etc was on sale here it would go like hot cakes. For eg I cant find Reebok classics over here so always buy a pair when Im at home.

Gow surely must be in with a shout for a game on the left now??

3rd min 72nd seen as the rest has been taken
