Poor game, though, wasn't it? A bit like Motherwell v Killiie.

That di Maria's a player.

McCann talks a good game, but can he manage? The best analyst I ever heard was John Greig. Could he manage? We'll never know. Should have started in a lower league and worked his way up like Ferguson and dare I say it? - O'Neil.

Ooo-rah!!!!!!!!!!!

As an indication of what we're dealing with, one of them started listing Rangers "enemies" in separate txts, among whom he included Imran Khan......

Pakistan's one day kit is green, perhaps he misunderstood why!"

I think he means an Imran Khan in Glesca not the great cricketer

"Twitter reminds me just how much of an oasis of sanity Gersnet is."

I don't twit but I'm sure you're right 100%.

Fits in nicely with Manchester City way shirt.

Gunners. Handsomely.

No doubt our pulses are all racing with excitement at the prospect! Nobody v Somebody Else!

I repent of my contemptuous words. A great day for Saints and United fans. Rangers had the chance to get there but weren't up to it.

Brings back memories, though. Tam's blockbusting 30 incher. Kai's strike from heaven. Ian McColl's swan song master class against Kilmarnock. But best of all, the 1964 epic against Dundee. I enjoyed that one the most partly because Dundee were so damned good. A terrific game of football.

Your best 'Gers finals please?

Not much of a gap considering our total over the last two seasons has been zero.

Never judge a game from TV highlights, but I'm going to nonetheless.

It looks as though a Rangers house style has developed. All teams play the same way - cumbersome and disjointed. Hearts looked slicker and faster.

Any idea of the attendance? More than most Saints' games I expect. Fair number of Mrs Budge's boys in the crowd. Would the Gorgie polis lift them if they sang "Hello, hello, we are Ann Budge's boys"?

Talismanic former player, diehard fan of the club - is he their Super? If so,a good time to let him go and get a football manager in.

“I have now left Lekhwiya and am in advanced discussions 
with another club in Qatar 
and there are clubs in Britain interested too.”

That's a relief.

Hughes was never the brightest of fellows.

Looked good for a while until Kai got his act together.

Looks like a perpetuation of a heresy on that Aberdeen top.

MC played very good football most of the time. L'pool played very good football for the last third. Arsenal and Chelsea played very good football some of the time, with Chelsea being the best defenders but that's only part of the game and not the exciting part.

Ibrox Park, not Ibrox Stadium.

as has persuaded me. Taking everything into account it's Pochetino. So'ton played good football, were never in trouble and didn't have mega bucks to do it with. Sentiment would have made it Rodgers if 'Pool had won it ( or were still to do it)

If I were hiring tomorrow with plenty of cash it would be Pellegrini with Mourhino as defensive coach.

"City will definitely get goals against Villa unless it's one of those nights when they don't score."

I wish I could claim this pearl of wisdom for my own but these are the words of Stan Collymore. Thank God there are people like him to explain the game to us.

Next season we'll see City top again.

HT: 0-0

 

We need a goal or the last quarter becomes deep defence with not much time to get one back in the case of conceeding.

How prophetic was that?

I reckon 'Pool would have won if they hadn't scored their third with so much time left. Once you light the cigar it's not easy to get going again.

1978? You callow youth!

I remember Scotland not going to the 1950 WC because they didn't win the Home Nations outright because of a 1 - 1 draw against England at Hampden. Willie Bauld of the Hearts hitting the bar late on. (Thornton would have scored)

The SFA decided it wouldn't be right to go to Brazil so I lost interest but I remember England beaten by the US.

Next was 1954 in Switzerland. Scotland played but should have stayed at home. Trounced 7 - 0 by Uruguay. The marvellous Magyars got clogged by West Germany in the final.

The referee from Scotland in the tournament was Charlie Faultless!

I fancy Chile to qualify for the later stages and the winner wil be Brazentinaguay.

English press haven't run amok yet. But they will as soon as the team win a throw-in in their first game.

Mourinho outwitted by whom this time? A youth team coach, was it?

You're right about the Lads. Six points at the Bridge and OT. Ha'way the Galacticos.

Reckon the league belongs to City. I expect Brendan Rodgers reads my posts so he'll be dancing in the streets of Bootle or wherever he lives when he sees my prediction. Only the eighth time I've changed my mind in the last fortnight.
