My good fellow, the mushroom, whether exotic or common or garden, has no place in a pie.

They may be pies but not as we know them, Gonzo.

I know things have changed massively since my time but do many epicures go to Ibrox these days?

The gunners visit the magpies on Sunday has the makings of a good game 

It has indeed. FA Cup Winners v League Champions back in the day but unfortunately, not this year.

BANG.

Saw a bit of this. 
Is giving away a lunatic goal coached at all levels?

Rice looks as if he can play.

Lovelace doesn’t.

Saka looks genius at times - in highlights. 
 

That’s why I don’t vote in MOTM unless I’ve seen the whole match, highlights tell you very little. 
 

I’m on record (September) speculating how long he’d be at Arsenal before Real made them an un-refusable offer.

Gunners two up as usual. They can’t throw it away again, can they?

Nope. Three now.

Must aim for nine 

Twelve better but I don’t see any at all coming from the Brighton and City matches.

Was Mulholland not hailed heralded on his arrival as an upgrade on the previous chap, Sinclair? I know nothing of either so I maybe I’m mistaken. It’s been known.

No rebuke my good man but I did say above it’s bbc R Scotland Sportsound not the bleeding Brains Trust.

Everton’s matches:

8 May.     BHA  A

14 May.   City  H

20 May.  Wolves A

28 May.  Bournemouth.

Most they’ll get is six points, three of them at Wolves with a bit of luck and with a superhuman effort three at home against Bournemouth.

Pick Devine, King and Lowry if any if them is fit and leave them in the team until the end of the season no matter how bad they may be on any particular day. Durrant and Derek Ferguson weren’t exactly carried on the shoulders of giants when they got their first run of games.

I wonder if the bookies will use ‘Spurs as a guide to end of season odds fixing. Newcastle destroy them. United can only draw with them. Liverpool beat them comfortably but narrowly.

Mags are going to be third?

Lawrence and Colak may become operational again. Roofe never will and Jack unfortunately is possibly at the end of his career.

You see Raskin and Cantwell and think: wow, just wow

Too soon to tell but they are severely handicapped by the inadequacies of their teammates. Let’s see how they’re doing in October.

3-0 down back to 3-3 with minutes to go but still managed to lose 4-3. Struck the post twice in the space of a minute when it was still 3-1.

Yilmaz has shown nothing? Can I ask what you are basing this on? Surely not a collection of appearances in the third (rate) trophy and a few league cameos. He's literally had no go time to make such an assessment.

I get what you mean but he hasn’t come from schools or junior football or even the B team. He cost a lot of money so you would expect to see something in his play to show why he’s worth the price. 
 

Time will tell because I don’t think he’ll be sold this time round.

I think Tav has shot his bolt.

Yilmaz has shown absolutely nothing. Sell him pretending to buyers he’s a great player, just hasn’t settled in Glasgow. 

Raskin and Cantwell have to be kept, at least for now but consistent, productive performances needed.

Dowell is similar to Cantwell in style, I believe, but without a consistent run in a team over the years. 

 

I know he did well at Forest, then barely played when the manager (Warburton) left. 

 

He's not been in the Norwich squad at all the last month or two, despite playing regularly throughout the rest of the season. 

 

I have no idea why that is. There's no injury-based absence according to TM. 

Maybe he’s not good at football? Quite a few clubs have let him go.

Well on, though and the harbour is right outside so you can jump in it after a bad result.

I have a terrible feeling Ian’s dug will be getting an early walk.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going 

Very true. Unfortunately Rangers don’t have much tough at the moment.

Media would love the demise of City. Forfeited titles could be divided between their adored Liverpool and some institution they call Man Yoo.

A Sheik could do worse than buy Everton. A better starting option than City were?
