compo

The so called football super computer,I (think it’s a couple old men in a pub) predicts United to finish in twelfth position with City piping the gunners at the top end.

I remember an old manager once saying if things aren't going to well then it's best to resort to a solid 442 formation

The Geordies are a goal to the good after 78 minutes.

There was a brother George if I remember correctly it was around that time they perfected a first class offside trap infuriating to play against but very effective at catching out their opponents.

It will be a tough game always seems to be against the steelmen we should be good enough to get to the final but I can see plenty of yellow cards on Sunday.

Here’s one for the fans of yesteryear the 1969 semi against a very good Aberdeen team with a defence marshaled by Martin Buchanan we played our best ninety minutes of that season that day at Parkhead a Johnston hatrick a couple from Penman and another from bunion Billy but the day’s best remembered for a display of centre forward play from Colin Stein he was superb that afternoon unplayable and against a very good defence we hammered them that day even their goal came from one of our own Jim Forrest.

I wonder how many of our directors would walk away tomorrow if their loans were paid back to them

Time to ditch Tina Simply the best for something more appropriate

Motherwell 0. Rangers 2 FGS. Dessers .

I'm afraid he's a one trick pony

Pity he wasn’t a Rangers fan

They can afford it the thing about United that has me wondering is Mr Ratcliffe has a helluva lot of say for a minority shareholder this Glazer family a pretty shrewd business men I wonder what’s going on letting Ratcliffe make decisions about the manager and stadium redevelopment he’s already taking the derry for all the redundancies at the club maybe a useful fool them they’ll buy his investment back from him after taking out a loan in the clubs name.

The managers in my old eyes hasn’t really changed his style of play if you can call it that since day one I sometimes wonder if the players know what they’re supposed to do in his setup surely his back room lads tell him this isn’t working should we try something else

Simple football pays results our play was more perspiration rather than inspiration we need someone in the middle who can play the simple pass

Right that’s that game over let’s look ahead to Sunday and a semi final against the steelmen no use dwelling on defeat onwards and upwards

First half we were utter crap as a team but result aside we played a lot better in the second half hats off to the fans who journeyed up north to watch the game .

Raskin worked very hard deserved better

Meanwhile down at Manchester United have rattled in four so far in the first half

Might have a cunning plan

Mon the gers

All that paper wasted on this financial report when all that was required was a chitty saying were still skint

Get out there get the sleeves rolled up and get stuck in and we'll come home with the points . Mon the Gers And to annoy Aberdeen fans I would make Barron captain tonight .

Giving up to easily

Listening to the football experts on sky sports last night one said this Portuguese bloke who might be the next manager of united plays his teams in a certain formation and pointed out that united don’t have the players that would suit this formation if that’s true then united are taking a risk I would have went for Mr Tuchel pay the FA the compensation and get on with it .

Just have to win the league and get into the champions league it’s up to the players and the manager now we can’t keep expecting the directors to keep bailing the club out
