Cant believe that! I was watching both games then Man Utd went 2-1 up so i switched over to see the mhanks score and they were 4-1 up! Bastards DUFC are shite

1-0 to the Utd!!! Get in there Noel Hunt!!! Hullo Hullo !!!!!

Im just tampering with it just now. Anyone got a flutter on? Ive stuck a 10 pound double on with the early kick offs- Dundee Utd to beat Celtic and Man Utd to beat Wigan. C'mon the Uniteds!!!

Get a grip there Dunn, you cant say Fuck Le Guen ans what has he done after 2 months. Im not bothered by this at all, Letizi started the season as No.1 and continues. McGregor came in and done a great job when called apon, just what a keeper should do. He will get another chance. Id rather it was Klos with a recall tho!

I voted Klos. If he is ready and is the same keeper as before he would be in by a country mile. Id feel 110% confident at the back and im sure it would help the defenders also.

Now Klos is back in training it seems Le Guen has the great problem of 3 keepers to choose from. Stefan Klos - Der Goalie - 7-8 years of pure excellence and consistancy and was the perfect replacement for Goram after Charbonnier got injured. Does he deserve another shot? Lionel Letizi - Jury is still out on the frenchman but didnt do too much wrong in his first few games. Alan McGregor - A new fans favourite for a handful of very good displays earing him player of the month. Is he a potential long term number 1?

Absolutely. I think its poll time

Yeah agree with the above also which is why I put Rae in my midfield with Fergie and Hemdani also. Under Eck we screamed for 3 Real midfielders and Im doing the same now. With the likes of Buffel and Dado in the team you can go with 1 winger as these 2 will also provide width at times.

Ok lads, how many didnt spot that ?

I had a flutter, I went: Scotland to draw England to draw Rep to draw NI to win

Yeah agree with that. Id also bring Beckham back and play a 5 man midfield of: _______________Parker_______________ Lennon__Beckham___Gerrard_____J Cole (who is almost fit again)

Big Eck has ruled himself out of the Norwich job. If Mowbray goes it will be bad for scottish football, he has brought through a lot of youngster in that Hibs team. I dont know whether its down to him or just Hibs youth system but they seem to be doing things right. They are arguably also playing the nicest football in the SPL despite not winning every game. He got the better of us last season every time so I wont be sorry to see him go on that sense but he will be a loss to the SPL. Ive got a feeling he might stay though and just wanted to talk to WBA.

Excellent, first time ive seen it, I wish I saw that live when it was unexpected it would have been hilarious. Let me know if Soccer AM use it as a taxi

Mmm its a tricky one, Le Guen has certainly brought a good sum of players so whether he will add in January will depend on the loans going back to there club and if the likes of Rae and Novo leave. A injury crisis would obviously see us bring in 1 or 2 loans.

Im actually looking forward to seeing what happens now that Klos is back in training. Who will be Number 1? Who will be Number 2? Whon wont be on the bench? Its a great problem to have. I also wouldnt mind knowing Le Guens views on Klos as he hasnt commented on him yet. He must rate him (who doesnt!) as he would of probably got rid of him in the summer if he didnt see him as part of the plans. But IMO if Klos is 100% Id have in in between the stick hands down! But i realise he has barely caught a ball for almost 2 years and is 35 now so he may have lost a bit of his quality but I hope not.

Talking about that goal has anyone got a clip?

Despite being overseas, Ive been lucky enough to watch most of our games so far this season. Ive saw us on TV against Motherwell, Dundee Utd, Dunfermline, Hearts and Celtic, and managed to make visits to Ibrox for the games against Molde and Aberdeen. During the opening games I was impressed with our attacking play and liked the formation of 4-2-3-1 that Le Guen brought. I felt it just need a bit more time and a bit of luck but it was early in the season and players were still a bit rusty. The chances we created in the match against Dundee Utd alone were enought to hit double figures and despite the result it was a great game to watch at Ibrox again. Recently Le Guen has tinkered with the formation a bit and put out 2 wingers which is clicking on occassions. But it showed when we deployed this at Celtic away we couldnt get in the game bar a 15 min spell in the 2nd half. So it was a bit of going back to the drawing board for Le Guen. Its now Mid October (and this time last year we where having our worst run ever) and we really should be a settled side by now, however we dont know who our number 1 keeper will be when all 3 are fit, we dont know who are our better centre half partnership, we dont know who is going to play wide and we dont know who will play upfront. I still have full confidence Le Guen will get it right and that he is the man for the job but we need to see some consistancy soon with a heavy log of games domestically and in europe coming up.

Is Ashikodi not the player McLeish put on twice for the last 3 seconds of games last season? I hope to see him get a run out in the first team soon.

Its been enough that Gerrard "carrys" the Liverpool side. Maybe he also carrys the England side. Without his name in the line up England just didnt look dangerous at all. IMO Lampard is a good player but he shines that bit more at Chelsea coz he has Makelele, Essien, Robben etc around him (a bit like Ferguson when he had Albertz, Gio etc), but when Lampard is in a midfield that is only "good" like last night he struggles to make an impact. Gerrard is truly world class player. His work rate is up there with the best and he guarentees 15-20 goals a season from midfield along with the same amount of shots that hit the woodwork. He will also provide the same amount of assists. He has everything from pace, skill, power, hunger and energy and he can play anywhere across the midfield. England seriously missed him last night.

Germany was the only away out of that 4 who won.

I didnt fancy Ukraine in the group when I saw them, they could be the trickest team to play at Hampden also. Italy have taken 6pts this week so the group is wide open but at least we are up there, that is the main thing. We are going to HAVE to do the double over Georgia and then beat Faroes away, Italy and Ukraine at home, and i think that would be enough to afford defeats in France and Italy.

I think we will climb a bit higher with the France win and England will surely drop after a draw and a defeat. Well done NI BTW thats a huge rise. They must be kicking themselves for the home result to Iceland as if they had nicked that they would be 2nd.

Yeah, Henry had a touch or sour grapes on saturday. But it doesnt matter as its not a 2 legged tie with us and them. As i mentioned on the other thread a lot of people would have taken 2 draws with these games against France and Ukraine also giving us 2 points but we have 3 already. A win in Ukraine and Walter deserves a knighthood as 12 pts out of 12 would have been unthinkable. But id easy settle for a draw tonight.

It would help if Rep Ireland were away mate! England may sneak a 1-0 but i fancy a 0-0 draw.

I dont get that
