Now that we have seen the team including new signings for almost 10 games I wonder what everyone thinks our best team is bar WS success so far. Ive been impressed by Cuellar, McCulloch (i wanted him for ages) and Darcheville out of the summer signings and Cousin and Naismith will come good. I havent been impressed with Whittaker or Thomson. Im not saying they have been poor but they havent stood out as 2 million pound signings when Sebo didnt get a chance like they have. I personally would still like to see Buffel in the team but playing him is tricky due to numbers in the midfield. Id say our strongers XI would be these players but getting themin the same team is difficult due to Buffels free role and the team would lack width. ______________McGregor______________ Hutton_____Weir_______Cuellar____Smith __________Hemdani___Ferguson________ ___Buffel____________________McCulloch __________Cousin____Darcheville_______

You mean Sebo appreances?? My point precisely R.E Sebo. Im actually glad you posted that! Dont worry about drunken points, there hasnt been enough of them around lately. Thats why im drinking now and it will be my turn tonight

I still think he is a slow poor "footballer" but he gets goals left right and centre. He is ideal for most Domestic games as the other players around him will do enough to give him chances but when it comes to the big games he should be on the bench. Looking at his goal count, id be interested to see the pattern. He normally gets a couple in a game then doesnt score for few weeks then a couple again. If he was getting them in every game I think his doubters would have no argument. But its the shocking games were he does nothing until he is subbed that raises all the questions on him.

Great song!! Ive been singing this tune a lot lately with West Hams words of 1 man couldnt carry, couldnt carry Lampard, 1 man and his fork lift truck couldnt carry Lampard........ Now Ive got a Gers version for the Sheep

Could have named this "Gambling Anonymus" or "Bookies Donations" but we'll stick to the betting thread. Stick your punts and tips here on any Sport, but its mostly going to be the Footy. Over the season we'll be able to see how much losses we have all made that could have went into buying better Mothers day presents or the likes. For once I think we will have a thread that blows Jonc and Wija's Totty thread away. Happy Gambling Folks :cheers:

Good shout mate, or we'll just kick off a fresh one for this weekend where it will continue. Did i not say Coventry!!!! I should have put a single on it or a double with my 4-0 Rangers prediction. Villa was a coupon buster last night, but Bolton screwing you on that coupon was seriously unlucky mate.

Thought there might be a possible upset on the cards here the same as at Man U.

That was me who made you aware to that was it?? I'll still be expecting commission when he finished top score But he has had a few little chances where he could have got another goal or 2. But nobody in the league has bust away with a bag full of goals yet although Adebeyor (sp) at Arsenal could easy.

Im peed off with Benitez and his squad rotation coz Ive got Torres on at 16/1 to finish top scorer in the league. He could have had double the amount of goals if he was a bit more lucky plus playing. As Gav says, ive been impressed with his all round game.

Its not an impossible coupon but tough to get all 8. EDIT: Ive looked at the coupon. I might have a wild punt at this: Hull to beat Chelsea 5/1 (Chelsea in a spot of bother and will rest big players) Sheff Wed to beat Everton 7/2 (Wed are big team on there day - poss upset) Dundee to be Celtic 7/1 (The unwashed are on a losing streak) Coventry to beat Man U 8/1 (Man U will field a reserve team) Tenner returns a cool 19440.

Arsenal were a banker home win last night. They are a different team this season (hence why I backed them at the start of the season for the league) and moving Henry out has made them forfill their potential. Fabregas hit the nail on the head the other day, he said Henry is a wonderful player but he was restricting the team due to his demands on and off the park. They had to play to his way - and he is right, Henry is a moaning ass at times despite being world class. West Brom was a coupon buster. I dont think id have touched Killie with Hamilton flying at the top of Div1. I'll maybe have a wee fiver punt tonight once ive looked at the coupon.

Why would you want to brag about getting a load of players from an average team, whereas Hibs fans could claim Celtic success is partly down to Hibs youth system and if the only reason they take the players is size and money. Beyond ridiculous for the celtic fans to hold that. Id be embarrassed if Rangers fans did the same to Hearts or Dundee or the likes.

This thread has turned out reasonable, I fully agree with the last 6 or 7 posts

Crikey, I forgot to add Smith to the thread "those not playing" yesterday.

Fook me, i was only 13 at the time and didnt realise they had that much great players. IIRC they would have had Basil Boli aswell

Aye, whats the bets if Hibs had taken the exact same banner along by coincidence and the top tier of tims only saw the one in the Hibs end - they would have gave the hibs fans abuse for it.

No probs mate. If we get past East Fife in the cup tomorrow then that shold throw 1 more fixture in for October that you can do.

No I can see it in 2 ways. 1) Whittaker would be more deserving over Hemdani on the right 2) Hemdani justifies a place (in general) in the XI over Whittaker

For October: Tue 2nd - CL - Lyon (Away) - Ascender Sat 6th - SPL - Hibs (Home) - Fraser Sat 20th - SPL - Celtic (Home) - Frankie Tue 23rd - CL - Barcelona (Home) - Super Ally Sun 28th - SPL - Dundee Utd (Away) - Me If anyone else wants a game please let me know and il schedule it for Nov and after that. And if any of the guys above arent online to do these games let me know I'll do it, if its not posted around the game il do it anyway There may also be another league cup game in there should we do the expected and beat East Fife.

P.s. Its good we are debating about players positions. In the past we would be struggling for names in the midfield.

Gisabeer has a point though even though he doesnt rate SW and does rate BH. Hemdani merits a place in the starting line up ahead of Thomson. Some will disagree but non will disagree that Hemdani merits a place on the bench before Faye. I agree that Whittaker hasnt been impressive either, I was a bit baffled as to why we were going for him in the first place unless he was back up for Hutton. But to play him every game on RM when Novo and McCulloch have been better there is the confusing one. McCulloch is more of a left sided player but he did very well in the opening games on the right and we have Beasley, Adam and Gow who can all come in and have a go on the left.

As stated the first 2 were crackers. I like the way Naismith set of on his, thats the first time ive really seen him. I hope thats the sort of stuff he does all the time.

What was it doing on SKY? Have they got a contract for the season? Lucky if you's do coz the quality of the Setanta coverage is poor.

I stick a tenner on one line and then a fiver on a second line unless it is singles then i'll up it to 20 quid. Its just to have an interest in some scores and hopefully get something back.

Just saw this article on the UK's top 9 clubs. Gers sit at No.8
