Another Sorensen, midfielder. Beck? Is Iceland continental?

If you were a hibbee would you want to go to Covid Park tonight?

The Morn: Blades 1-0 Newcastle Burnley 0-3 United Wolves 2-2 Everton The day efter: City 3-1 Brighton Villa 1-3 ‘Spurs Arsenal 2-1 Palace Fulham v Chelsea is Friday. I need time to think which set of west London fauntleroys will win. Chelsea most likely. Fixture Changes: Villa v ‘Spurs postponed and Tottenham to play at Fulham on Wednesday. 1-3. Fulham v Chelsea postponed to Saturday.

Christiansen.

We’ll need a ruling from the Chief Witch Doctor @Rousseauu but is this not a case of nemesis ca’in’ the feet from hubris?

Woods was very, very good. Might put him ahead of Klos who was superb. Rangers have been lucky with the on-field custodians. Pity some of those off-field were less safe.

I thought Crawley won easily. Shaky start for Crawley then midway through the first half Leeds had a fifteen minutes of domination when it looked as though they were going to score a lot but it didn’t happen. After that you couldn’t tell which side was the Premier League. After the second goal it was a question of how many. Bielsa out. Pulis is available.

No votin’ ‘cos Billy Ritchie’s no on the Ballot. He and Niven were the ‘keepers I saw most. Unflappable, reliable, rarely spectacular, never flamboyant. Ritchie especially had tremendous positional sense and ability to anticipate the shot. OK. That’s enough sulking. Goram. I refer to m’friend Bluedell’s observations above. Says a lot about McGregor that I had to think about it.

Crawley 2-0 Leeds at 55 minutes.

I hope Rangers wreak havoc on Cove. Never mind the plucky wee club stuff. Rattlesnakes.

Elgin City at Borough Briggs. I’ll know the scores by the roars if there’s a fresh northerly blowing.

Perhaps. Or Wednesday or Stoke. McInnes, the Scotch Pulis.

Big Sam out. Big Warnock in. Lacazette plays well enough but not at that price. Vardy I’d have ahead of anyone now that Aguero’s getting on a bit.

Very poor. Tierney a standout. Terrific left winger. Not so good at left back.

Everton at home needed extra time to beat Rotherham 2-1. In the old days it would have been the exciting prospect of a replay at Rotherham and a disappointing 1-4 defeat. Chorley beating Derby 2-0 approaching halftime. Blackpool must have a chance of beating West Brom but the tie of the round is Arsenal v Newcastle United. Old time FA Cup pedigree, that one.

Correct. I once heard Bob Crampsey say what I had often thought: “They (the Europeans) even run out of the tunnel better than we do.”

Nijinsky. Best player in City’s best team.

@Gribz spake and lo, it came to pass. There’s always a first time.

Repeat of last year’s is it?

£40M goal from Tierney against Albion. Baggies in big trouble. Their players stand flat-footed in both penalty areas.

BSRT is 100% right in his OP. One season early in the NIAR Rangers were miles ahead in January but frittered away points for a nervy ending. Might have been 88/89.

Nine conceded in two successive home games. Albion going down unfortunately.

Aye. I regret to admit I’m in my second infancy. I don’t have the mental resilience to cope. I’ll likely be be same for Pittodrie.

I saw none of the play, heard no commentary and only looked in here when I thought the match must be over so my opinion is based on nothing. So, from that position of ignorance, the strike pair must be Roofe and Itten. Hagi must play. He provides ball control and effective passing. He’s not a sprinter. He gets pushed around sometimes. Ian McMillan wasn't Morgan the Mighty but he won games.

Jock Aird left back, Burnley and Scotland “had everything except ability” according to Docherty. He had a reasonable record as a manager.
