The voice of sanity. I’ll calm down now.

Perhaps but momentum means a lot in football. Players with greater determination or even the players we had managed by Smith or Wallace would probably have got through it and not collapsed at Dingwall So, one Cup and not far off a treble. What did Beale come close to winning?

It was a pretty good bounce - one trophy, unlucky in another cup competition and Rangers would have won the league but for fixture postponements.

Look at that front row. You might have expected Woodburn or Mccoll, both titans, to be seated next to Geordie Young but it’s a youthful Eric Caldow. Mr Struth could obviously foretell the future. Look at the second row. Pass quickly over Stanners and disregard Woodburn and McColl - we won’t see their like again - but Rae, Little and Prentice would transform the current team.

A sort of anti-hero, Jimmy Brown of Kilmarnock. Took abuse for ninety minutes and loved it. He was only 5’9” but looked six inches taller than that in his red jersey and baseball cap. First ‘keeper to discard the traditional bunnet.

How did that side manage to win only one league title and no cups? Its balance was exactly right. I suppose in a perfect world you could have slightly better wing halves.

Correct. What better time than now? Rangers aren’t winning the League this season. Nothing to lose. That’s how Durrant and Derek Ferguson came through.

Didn’t really matter. Both were outstanding in different ways.

They’ve still got Fulham to contend with. What are they doing up there?

Ferguson?

Maybe only three are due for re-election.

Brentford v Bournemouth, game of the day and clash of giants, well new giants or are Bournemouth the new Brentford and are the Bees shrinking back to size? Brentford 1-2 Bournemouth Crystal Palace 2-2 Fulham West Ham 3-0 Everton Wolves 0-2 Southampton Brighton 2-1 Man City Liverpool 3-1 Aston Villa Man Utd 3-0 Leicester Nottingham Forest 2-2 Newcastle Tottenham 4-1 Ipswich Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal

The Hearts had a hiding from Heidenheim. They maybe won’t feel so great.

Bring on the Denmark.

But only after the ball was past him.

All of them.

That’s a relief.

Let’s hope so.

The design is passable but the blue is peelly wally.

Nor I but I suppose Real have played more matches than any other club and thus a greater exposure to the risk of defeat. I’m not s statistics man.

It was a rocket.

City trounced by United’s latest redeemer’s XI. Guardiola’s third defeat in a row. He wouldn’t get away with that at Ibrox.

It looks as if Jefte thought Butland was coming to catch the ball so he ran off wide to receive a thrown pass, which suggests he was completely unaware of the presence of Halliday. Bad mistake. He doesn’t defend all that well but not much worse than his predecessors at left back. He’s better going forward though. More energetic and with more options than Barisic and more productive than the expensive Yilmaz.

Didn’t happen unfortunately. Mentioning proper clubs, have you seen the Championship top six? Only Watford lacking pedigree and Blackburn were in it instead of them last week.

I remember a team with Caldow, Baxter, Miller and Brand in it getting the dreaded slow handclap.
