This is interesting and Im sure the two young lads will do there best. Having Halliday (albeit not in great form) in the side will keep them steady. Bar those 2 its a good looking side. Wes Foderingham is fast becoming the new David James BTW.

This is on one hand worrying but on another exciting and promising. Agree with Rousseau sentiments that bring younger players in when filling positions rather than players out of position - something we have slaughtered managers on in the past. Lets give these guys a chance. 3rd place is probably done and dusted so its good to experiment against poorer opposition. And no point risking further injuries for Sunday - which is a massive game and a statement has to be made at Pittodrie that we are better than them.

So move them to January 1st or 2nd when they should be played.

Goodwillie is obviously a bit of a nutter. Moyes comments are something anyone can say in the street and it means nothing, it sarcasm. The only stupid line he said was "be careful next time you are here" that is actually stupid.

Miller still has a year left in him, he looks after himself and is a model professional. Personally Id like to sign for another year and as he is capable of playing id rather he be on our books then elsewhere because a few clubs would want him for a season. After that Id like to see him become a coach within the club. Its funny how some players split the crowd and Miller is one of them but Id been a fan since his first spell. And then you get Boyd who I was never a fan of.

A back 3 of Kiernan, Senderos, Toral?? Tav has a slight injury, a big risk to lose him aswell, maybe give him an hour of the last 30 mins.

Not point risking them with a trip to Aberdeen on Sunday. Pretty sure we can cope at Rugby Park but we are down tot he bare bones and the defence needs improved in the summer.

It will be interesting to see who Pedro targets in the summer. IIRC only Hill, Miller, Senderos are out of contract so he will be selling a few if he plans on changing. Our defence is too thin and has been all season - which I said months ago. To have 3 full backs is worrying and Saturdays game is lucky its taken until April for it to show. Of course this isnt Pedro's fault, it lays with the previous management not addressing it yet overloading in midfield. Only Crooks is the other one who can supposedly play centre half yet he is punted to Scunthorpe and there is rumours he is actually an attacking midfielder. So no doubt Pedro will buy a few defenders.

Didnt have a good weekend again. 3 results out of 10. Ive been having nightmare bets this year. I did predict Man Utd to win here but bet them to draw on Saturday unfortunately I also put Spurs to draw on the same coupon. Lets try again though for midweek. Tues: Burnley 0-0 Stoke Leicester 2-0 Sunderland Watford 1-1 West Brom Man Utd 1-0 Everton Wed: Arsenal 2-0 West Ham Hull 1-0 Middlesboro Southampton 2-1 Crystal Palace Swansea 0-1 Tottenham Chelsea 2-1 Man City Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth

Looks like Senderos and Wilson may need some game time in midweek against Kilmarnock, get the main players back and fit for Pittodrie next weekend.

Was the first have a case of a different approach that the players arent use to yet? It is refreshing if PC wants to play an attacking way but he will need to get use to playing opposition who raise their games 20% against Rangers and be more physical. Obviously we had fitness issues in defence prior.

Liverpool was the only scoop. Hull and Stoke at home should be wins for Champions plus a win at West Ham who are in awful form in a stadium they cant play in. Players should be ashamed though, switching off on purpose for Ranieri by the looks of things. But makes you wonder what happened as they all loved him last season and played the same system - why did Ranieri want to change the tactics. Im pleased for Kante getting out that team but no time for the likes of Vardy. Players should be ashamed.

Koeman made a selection error playing young players in a new system. They only started playing at 2-1 and then changed it to 4 at the back then Liverpool scored straight away which ended it. Chelsea take unexpected hit and it blows the title race open. If Man City get something from Stamford Bridge on Wednesday and Spurs win at Swansea its 4 or 5 points with Chelsea still having to go to Man Utd. Not surprised WBA got a draw at Old Trafford. Leicester and Palace 4 wins in a row each and moving up the table. Hull beating West Ham brings another 3 clubs into the relegation battle especially if Swansea beat Middlesboro today and then Hull beat Middlesboro in midweek.

I still find Lovenkrands the most refreshing approach but he wouldnt probably be the most knowledgeable about the overall Scottish game TBH out of the list.

Yes Mo Ross, Sandaza would be pitch side. Jeremy Clement another who was awful. The latter could go into a team of promising players who didnt forfill potential in a Gers shirt like Jonas Thern, Nerlinger, Michael Ball, Steven Wright, Charbonnier. Capucho was actually a promising signing at the time but was awful.

This match would be pay per view!! Letizi Argyriou Cribari Eggen Bernard Celik Faye Mladenovic Emerson Kyle Gayle Versus Jeffers Ostenstad Maniero S Hughes G Rae Gow Bonnissel Konterman Penttila Bollan Ginzberg I really could never work out why Big Bert continuously got a game he was a nightmare except for one belter against Celtic. Steven Hughes and Gavin Rae were also McLeish favourites who were out their depth.

So we should have Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts at Ibrox. But what happens if Kilmarnock pip Partick to 6th, we would be due to have them at home also. No way will they allow us 4 home games and only 1 away at St Johnstone. Mockery of a split.

A bit of unneeded additional pressure to win after Aberdeens win. But the feel good factor of Pedro is still there and I cant see us slipping up at all. I did 3-0 in the predictor but Im tempted to change it to 5 nil. Lets get 3 points then go up to Aberdeen next week and win there.

Ive never been one who contemplates booing a Rangers player but that may change if he played for us again.

Plus with the UK clocks changing I get to see the games an hour earlier. I'll be channel hopping tonight with a load of 3pm kick offs. I wonder if WBA have a chance of getting something at Man Utd. Smalling, Jones (no surprise), Pogba, Mata and Zlatan all out .

Number of clubs from one country should reduce. An expanded Europa, Euros and World Cup doesnt work and its ruining the CL also. Bigger and better teams back in the UEFA Cup (rename it that again) would improve that competition also. Plus Id bring the Cup Winners Cup back to get the amount of teams in the Europa down. CL games should be played Tues & Thurs or Wed & Thurs then move the Europa to Tues or Wed - giving it more interest rather than being after the lord mayors show on a Thursday.

Good to have the Prem back with 2 rounds of games in 4 days. Liverpool 1-1 Everton Burnley 0-1 Tottenham Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace Hull 0-1 West Ham Leicester 2-2 Stoke Man Utd 1-0 West Brom Watford 3-1 Sunderland Southampton 2-1 Bournemouth Swansea 2-1 Middlesboro Arsenal 1-1 Man City

How can Austria produce a decent national team on practically the same amount. But to be dwarfed by Norway and Denmark shows they run their leagues and countries well. Even if we did get more from SKY I wouldn't trust the powers that be to spend it fairly or wisely. Its an argument for summer football though. More viewers would tune in when there is no Premier League to say a Aberdeen v Rangers / Hearts v Celtic game. And an Rangers v Celtic game in the July sun would generate bigger audiences. But we would end up getting out done by this ICC summer friendlies who are paying silly money to get Europes big clubs around the world.

I agree with this one because its essential we qualify for the group stages and year in year out we see dross from the SPL playing unknown sides who are into their domestic season knocking them out. Im pretty sure id we add depth to the squad then holidays can be back dated on a rota basis to allow some players a rest after the qualifiers.

There is a fair list but Kyle probably for me. He made Boyd look mobile.
