Strange season. Villa beat Leicester away, ‘Spurs 3-0 up but Hammers score three in the last eight minutes.

History suggests he could be right.

On the other hand we’ve seen a Rangers triumph followed, diddy team style, by inability to hold the advantage.
 

I’m hoping today is the day when Rangers move ahead in the long march to victory, this time remembering that they’ve to do it again next week and the week after and the week after that.

What are these?

Only one game matters this week - God, I wish it was over - in the meantime, here’s the trivial stuff.

Everton 3-1 Liverpool  (Are the toffees hard or soft?)

Chelsea 4-1 So’ton 

City 2-3 Arsenal (Showcase of soccer science)

Mags 2-2 United

Blades 2-2 Fulham

Palace 3-1 BHA

’Spurs 3-0 Hammers

Leicester 3-1 Villa

West Brom 0-0 Burnley ( Relegation battle)

Leeds (new Wolves) 2-1 (Old) Wolves

In the week ahead of the derby. Masonic COPFS and Orange Press conspiracy orchestrated by the dark forces of Rangers PR guys.

That must end any notion of Rangers or any other team in Scotland joining the EPL.

If there were to be a greater reduction than two of the league members there might have been a chance of a new UK league of Fulhams, Burnleys, West Broms and the like ejected from the EPL and Sheffields and Birminghams etc from the Championship. They might think Rangers would be a desirable asset.

I voted Kent

It is riddled throughout pretty much all levels of the game in Scotland, and probably the rest of the UK too

It would be surprising if the scandal were confined to one club. It’s not even confined to football. But one club seems to have had many more perpetrators than others. 

Nothing to do with Hollicom. Everything to do with institutionalised prejudice of which very little is unconscious.

That’ll be the game off, then. 
 

In fact, in true Corinthian spirit, Rangers should concede a 3-0 home win now. Or more goals if they want them. Save SG, SPFL and SFA a lot of bother.

If he were signing for celtic, would we worry? No.

I don’t agree with the forfeiture of trophies. I do believe in expulsion with no re-admission. Not going to happen, though.

His lifestyle would be a problem nowadays, esp re: fitness. 

He didn’t look fit but he could box to box puffing and blowinig no bother.

Don’t you remember the faux outrage over wife beating?

I  get all the parallels to Gazza including the style of play but....Wilshere is nowhere near his class. But the pay and play idea is a good one. I'm sure there are some EPL clubs who would take a chance on him; if not, you must ask why?

Gazza didn’t have fitness problems.

Has the business done been good? I think so. We’ll know soon enough.

Has it been done well? Very well indeed. Imagine the excitement if Roofe and Itten had been brought in yesterday evening but better by far to get it all done early so that new players don’t disrupt a team pattern. Excitement is usually followed by disappointment.

Not sure how goal was autocorrected to bet ?

Net?

Raining goals at Old Trafford. 1-0, 1-1, 1-2 after seven minutes.

I only looked to take my mind off concerns elsewhere.

Thirty seven minutes. 1-4 and Martial sent off. In Fergie days it would finish 5-4. Maybe United should try for the ‘Spurs manager.

My banker forecast was Leicester to hammer the Hammers. Didn’t happen. 0-3.

No, you fool. Celebrating entry to the Group stage and maybe the wee bonus.

Is it ok to call sutton a fool? There’s a warning elsewhere about pejorative language.

By God, he was good at that.

“BREAKING: Tottenham have signed striker Carlos Vinicius on loan from Benfica”

Good. One less to worry about. Later perhaps.

Interesting and not at all daft.

Hagi was another who didn't make mistakes when we weren't playing well, his vision and passing is a huge asset but some of our fans still get hung up on his lack of pace.

For the type of game he plays Hagi doesn’t need pace over the ground. Ian McMillan wouldn’t have won many footraces but his feet were quick in a tight space and so was his brain hence the ability to release the killer pass.

Orra scorrs ramorra and the Sabbath.

Chelsea 3-1 Palace

Everton 4-1 BHA

Leeds 3-5 City

Mags 1-1 Burnley

Leicester 3-1 Hammers

So’ton 2-0 WBA

Gunners 3-0 Blades

Wolves 2-0 Fulham

United 3-2 Hotspurs

Villa 0-3 Liverpool

I don’t want Leicester.
 

Tims will get Qarabag, LASK and Dundalk.
