By God, Sir! You’re right, Sir. Wily devils those Afrikaners.

If I had to pick a relegation candidate it would be Everton, unfortunately. They can’t seem to get things right.

 Makes no difference to the story, though. Has McLean paid it off yet?

I'd like to say that i'm absolutely gutted to hear this news,...unfortunately ,i can't.

Do I hear the suppressed chortling of a lilywhite?

ICT asking shareholders for cash to ward off admin, apparently.

This is for information only. I don’t trust myself to comment. I have a reputation for fairness and moderation to protect.

I think it might.

One of those nights when every ball Bayern struck was perfect against a wide open defence. Contrast that with City in their match with Zagreb. Most balls they struck were marginally off.

I wonder what might have happened if Eriksen’s shot just after the penalty had gone in. Great save by the ‘keeper.

Last week I was useless. This week probably worse.

Blades 1-3 Liverpool

Villa 3-1 Burnley

whoever may be in the final will not play Livingston-style, who reminded me of Wimbledon of old.

Thanks dB. Describes Livingston’s play last night exactly.

Tav, Goldson and Arfield need to be rested. Helander’s distribution in the first half looked good. 
 

Livingstone players should be ashamed. Not for the way they played last night but for the fact they don’t play like that against the rest of the league. That’s a big assumption on my part but when I see glimpses of other games I don’t see the bristling attitudes, the steely determination, the staring eyes, the pumping legs or the flailing arms that I saw from them last night.

In celtic matches it’s the opposite. From their opponents I see caution, anxiety and timidity. I see rabbits caught in headlights.

If the others would play all the time at three quarters of the levels they produce against Rangers it might be a cracking league.

More popes than names. JP I’m guessing.

His best assist would have to be the cross for Gascoigne to score against Celtic

A bit of football indelible in the memory.

Law is a good shout as would be Gilzean but I nominate Lawrie Reilly.

As I write this, I'm still not sure of the answer and may well change my mind by the time I reach the end of this preview.

I did - more than once.

That’s a powerful team if they play up.

Never mind Rangers/celtic, Magpies/Makems, Liverpool/Everton this fixture in the English League Cup tonight is, according to Talksport, one of the world’s needle derbies. Apparently Poileas Portsmouth think so too. Riot police, dogs, horses drones and helicopters on standby for an invasion of 2,000 rabid So’ton ultras. So, forget Boca/River. South coast sandcastle   builders are the top firms.

Now that Parliament has been deemed to have been unlawfully prorogued, I hope Mr Speaker will set aside the consideration of Brexit so that urgent questions can be dealt with about England’s shame.

My question; which of Pompey and Saints are the d.o.bs? One of them must be, surely.

I only got two results right and nowhere near the scores.

Well done, Wolves.

A spurs player was adjudged to have been  1.6cm offside that's roughly six and three eighths in old money yet it took the VAR referee over three and a half minutes go make up his mind .

Where did you get your rule, compo? Seville? 1.6cm is 6/10” no?

That’s a fairly soft hammer.

Do I see a Stornoway banner in the crowd? I didn’t know there was delusion on Lewis.

I read elsewhere that William Leckie wrote a suitable article in his paper. Surprise.

Forsyth should be ashamed of himself after that.
