Did they say who they had wanted? Any mention of SG?

Stick with it. Pay no attention to the ramblings of the old fogeys

I read somewhere last month that Beale fancied a shot at South America.

I assume, perhaps wrongly, that Beale will go with SG so having said elsewhere this is no time to gamble, I’ve gambled and voted Craig’s man, Thomson.

Interesting, possibly even exciting but a gamble and this is no time for gambling

Correct. It’s also a club which some notable managers haven’t quite managed to shake out of its torpor. Houllier, Turner, Taylor, di Matteo. Not even McNeill or O’Neill could do it. Alex McCleish tried but failed.

Might Villa prefer Rogers? Better cv than Gerrard’s.

The train Glasgow Central to Liverpool Lime Street doesn’t go via Birmingham New Street. If I were Villa I’d be happy enough with SG but I’d prefer Martinez.

Show pony. I’ve already written him off. Now watch him destroy the County defence.

It wasn’t even the blue half of Glasgow. It was all blue (mostly) Inverness.

Perhaps I’m confused. Was he previously a promotion specialist? In which case save him for next year.

From the highlights, that was a terrific game. Much better than United v City. Less technical, more entertaining. Aberdeen could have scored four before Motherwell even got going then lose. Where have I seen that sort of thing before?

If I were Howe I’d give Warnock a consultancy at Newcastle to get them up from the drop zone.

0-2. Would have been about 0-12 if City had replaced Aguero. Their ‘keeper had nothing to do.

I’ve seen the last ten minutes of United v City first half. Passes going out of play, slow play, aimless punts into the box and a freak goal. Might be Raith v Cowdenbeath but without the local derby intensity.

5/11. My forecast’s on fire! So’ton 2-0 Villa United 2-1 City Brentford 2-0 Norwich Chelsea 3-0 Burnley Palace 2-1 Wolves BHA 2-0 Mags Arsenal 3-0 Watford Everton 2-1 ‘Spurs Leeds 2-1 Leicester Hammers 1-3 Liverpool

I’ve been away from Embra for a while now but I don’t remember them talking like that in Leith. Shifty looking bloke. Would you buy a car from him?

Probably found out Jackie Milburn doesn’t play for them any more.

Sorry, but would you translate that from the Swedish, please?

A broad hint to SFA/SPFL? Or in legalese, “jack it in, now lads”

They were indeed, weren’t they? Except at the dentist.

I don’t recall the Jardine ordering off. Even David Docherty’s excellent The Rangers Football Companion has no descriptive comment on it.. The book covers all Rangers competitive games post-war up to 1985-86. You get dates, both teams, results, scorers, attendances and sometimes a wee note about anythIng significant. Maybe the author thought Sandy deserved it so didn’t want to embarrass him further. When I first paid my way through the turnstiles it was two shillings - 10p.

Wolves up to their customary seventh place. No way back for Nuno.

Moyes. Good record everywhere except at Old Trafford. No one would have succeeded as AF’s successor, except maybe Walter Smith.

Bacuna will never make it at Rangers.
