Not long ago our “star” players were being linked with the likes of the Bristols, Gillingham and similar.

Saw the last half hour Mags v City. I like both clubs so I am reasonably unbiased. It seemed that the referee let City away with what used to be called obstruction about half a dozen incidents in that short time.  You just knew, however, that when he eventually gave a foul against Fernandinho Newcastle would score.

Shelvey’s rocket was like a harmless lob compared to de Bruyne’s goal.

it could be a comfortable afternoon. Otherwise, we're in for a tough test

I could have tell’t ye that. You are, of course, absolutely right.

Many, many times have I analysed a subject and come to a “dinna ken” conclusion.

Mags 1-3 City

Burnley 1-0 Palace

Chelsea 2-0 Hammers

Liverpool 3-0 Brighton

‘Spurs 3-1 Bournemouth

So’ton 2-0Watford

Norwich 1-3 Arsenal

Wolves 2-1 Blades

Leicester 3-1Everton

United 1-2 Villa

Bloke at Wolves is current favourite.

Ancelotti would be my choice.

I assume Gerard has already been approached and declined or “snubbed” as journos say.

Maybe I miss something in this, but he says Rangers had HMRC problems, The (English) Times raised an issue with HMRC and HMRC has replied. What good is this repeating of known news?

 

You’re not missing anything, dB. 
 

See Uilleam at #23 above.

Yes Fifty years on somebody will get a PhD on a thesis entitled Representation of the Sane by the Insane. Massive Archive material. 

Long time since I bothered with bbc  Scotland but if I remember right, Brewer was a good broadcaster.

These motions are meaningless. Nothing happens unless some other msp bothers to oppose it. There is no debate in the Chamber. There is no continuing effect.

Barisic and Goldson are an embarrassment at that Hamilton goal.

In the words of former trainer, Jimmy Smith, “look at him, staunin’’, just staunin’”.

These words were applied to a defender whose performance levels neither of the two current culprits are likely to attain.

Wolves up to fifth in the table, Sheffield Utd and Burnley in sixth and seventh places.

Arsenal, United and ‘Spurs are eighth , ninth and tenth.

Have we warped back in time?

I count seven results for you , compo and the Villa game still to come.

I must study your methods.

I missed the first thirty minutes. Fourteen of the remaining fifteen up to Kent’s goal were great then a gap in the centre of the defence gave Accies a chance which they managed to miss. They had at least two similar in the second half while Rangers got gradually worse. You could argue that Hamilton deserved at least a draw.
 

You know things have gone wrong when the opposition’keeper stops playing for time. 

My already poor form is dipping.

Much like Silva and Pellegrini. They can’t be long for the world of the EPL.

Do you think when the coefficient is suitably improved, the clubs qualifying for Europe could put some money aside to assist all top flight clubs to have natural grass pitches?

 

 

No. If they can’t afford real pitches, they’re not top flight clubs.

Pete’s useful list #9 omits Don Kitchenbrand (SA) a cult figure before cult figures were invented.

He can’t get into the team ahead of Hubbard, though. In fact no outside left/wide left heretofore mentioned should get in ahead of Hubbard.

McCoist would score a million off rebounds, palm-outs and blocks from Alfie’s shots. Alfie would score a good few of his own making and umpteen from Hubbard’s crosses.

But I think I’d bench super, move Laudrup up just behind Morelos and bring in Baxter.

With Gribz off looking over the edge of the flat world, it’s just us auld yins, compo.

Hammers 2-2 Hotspurs

Gunners  3-1 So’ton 

Bournemouth 2-2 Wolves

Brighton 1-3 Leicester

Palace 0-3 Liverpool

Everton 2-1  Norwich

Watford 1-1 Burnley

City 3-1 Chelsea (MOTD)

Blades 1-2 United (Match of the Weekend)

Villa 3-1 Mags (MOTD seventy years ago)

Drop Kanchelskis and pick Johnny Hubbard, SA.

I've been giving the "life ban" some thought. I can understand why MacK has suggested it, and it certainly should be a few years, but I'm not convinced that sine die is appropriate.

Life isn’t sine die though. There is a definite termination albeit the exact date of the termination is unknown.

ICT are nor great but the last time I saw them on the telly they had a lot of big thugs.
 

And the dominant component of the bizarre amalgamation was the jammiest team of all time.

So this could be the gallant end for the lads.

Bearger was right. (Did I really say that?)

BBC confirms that ‘Spurs have settled for second best with Mourinho.

lennon obviously waiting for United to tempt him to Manchester.

First of a few to go I think....

 

Man Utd and Arsenal must be thinking likewise. Everton too maybe

Four English giants in chase to lure lenny from paradise.

Lennon next, surely.

I hope both are royal pumped. I couldn’t care one jot about any other Scottish club. **** the SFA, the SPFL and the coefficient. 10 nil lazio please and 10 nil Porto

I’ve got a streak of that in me myself, tbh.
