1. Few. 2. None. 3. Not I. 4. Yep.

Well, don’t.

Newcastle beat Chelsea (as most teams seem to do) 1-0 to go third! City lose at home to Brentford. Obviously City can’t compete against clubs with the massive resources of Brentford.

Perhaps this is Rangers’ level.

The bloke is 33. Should be done for failing to grow up.

Blood and thunder, glaur and muck. Fine for us old fellows but not so good for the young soccer geeks nowadays. Got to admit, though, City and Chelsea last night served up a sumptuous repast of old style football just without the ingredients aforementioned.

Arsenal and ‘Spurs out to BHA and Forest. Hammers lose to Blackburn. Liverpool stagger past the Derby County galacticos on penalties. The big clubs don’t want this, do they?

Everton duffed 4-1 at Bournemouth in the Carabou. They had a terrific young fullback in the sde, though.

Are you a shareholder, Sbg? If so attend at the agm if you can and ask the question.

No, thank you.

Thanks for the word picture, 26th. I regret sincerely that my knowledge of Tranent is limited to what I saw when passing through and that so long ago, there was nether Asda nor Aldi there nor anywhere else in Scotland come to that. Why the carnation? Could you not just have worn your sword and carried your Bible? Just in case there were other dudes likewise equipped in Ternent, you could have packed your parachute on your back. Perfect ID. Easily recognised and unlikely to be copied.

Watching some FA cup games I had to turn off sound because of the monotonous cacophony. If you must have drums at games import drummers from South America. At least they’ve got rhythm. A bit of samba does no harm. The cup games were poor. What else can you expect from the first round.By contrast, the Rugby League World Cup was rattling good entertainment. Samoa v Tonga was the best bit of sport I’ve seen since I can’t remember when.

He was greatly admired on R5 in his early days but they have form (bad) for that. They were previously enamoured of a couple of Cardiff City managers whose name I forget and a long-gone Watford bloke.

Villa win 3-1. Newcastle United dismantle So’ton 4-1 and go up to fourth unless ‘Spurs recover from 0-1 to Liverpool. Edit: Make that third place. Heady heights for the Mags.

You think so? Dyche. Take that, you soccer-science-statto.

Arsenal beating Chelsea at the Bridge. That’s what they have to do to win a league.

Straight out of Davy Wilson’s textbook on Constructive Wing Play.

He’s a whole bloody Regiment.

Saw Royal Albert once in a Scottish Cup Tie against Elgin City. Walking to the ground I was impressed by the huge crowd, then 90% of them turned off to the rugby! Willie Macfarlane was your manager at the time. Got a creditable draw before the inevitable defeat in the replay.

Ternent, eh? There will be a divided loyalty on this Board.

So, who needs Garrincha?

By God, yes but I’d rather a defender breenged a forward up in the air than indulged in girly shirt tugging.

Look at the crowd at Tynecastle. I wasn’t at that game but I was at two or three in the early sixties when the attendances were approaching forty thousand.

That’s not competing. That’s playing rugby. Send them off.

Works for me. See above.
