  1. Warburton impresses the hell out of me when I see him at press conferences. Before I had ever seen him I heard him on the wireless and thought "a guy who talks a good game."...you see them at job interviews.....and I immediately dismissed him as a smoothie. How wrong I was I made the same mistake about Nicholas Parsons....first seen him on telly as Arthur Haines' straight man, then in some game show....a complete wank I thought. Then I heard him on "Just a minute" on Radio 4....absolutely brilliant ! I need too keep a more open mind I think ps I know it's only 4.45 but it IS Friday !
  2. http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2016/04/08/kenny-jackett-kevin-mcdonald-can-fight-his-way-back/ Kenny Jackett: Kevin McDonald can fight his way back Kenny Jackett says out-of-favour midfielder Kevin McDonald still has a future at Wolves. The Scot was left out of the squad for Tuesday’s win at MK Dons – and trained with the under-18s at Compton Park instead. He last featured in gold and black a month ago, and rumours are rife of a summer exit with Glasgow Rangers believed to be first in line to snap up the 27-year-old. But Jackett insists McDonald, who signed a three-year contract last September, remains part of his plans. “He’s in my long-term plans,” Jackett said. “It’s up to him to change my mind and bounce back, which is football life. “He has to keep working away, as he is, keep his attitude right and battle to get back into the team. “For people asking me how does Kevin get back in – it very much depends on the form of the midfield players, how they progress, and how the team shapes up and how creative it is going forward. “His attitude’s been fine. His training and his work has been fine. “It’s just been my decision.” McDonald’s form hasn’t reached the high standards he has set in his previous two seasons at the club. Jackett feels the form of the three ahead of him has been a big factor in his absence. “He’s had good spells and very good games,” he added. “Price, Coady and Saville are at the moment ahead of him. “It’s up to Kev to bounce back. “He’s been an ever-present and at the moment, probably for the first time, he finds himself out of the team. “His response and reaction is to work hard to get it back. “It’s not anything against Kevin McDonald, I’ve just selected those three ahead of him.” And of McDonald training with the under-18s on Tuesday, Jackett said the fact the Scot took part showed a good attitute. “He asked if he could train, I said yes – the 21s were at Barnet and the only group here were the 18s,” Jackett added, “He showed a good attitude and, quite rightly, trained when he wasn’t selected for the first team “That’s the only session available, the only other one was go in the gym on your own. “I was pleased with his decision to stay here and train, I think it was the right thing to do. “It was his preference and his choice and I’m pleased with that attitude. “Getting left out is part of football life and it’s very much how you respond.” McDonald will hope to be part of a Wolves squad that looks to extend an unbeaten run to six matches tomorrow. Wolves are also unbeaten in four at Molineux. Jackett said of Blackburn and their boss Paul Lambert: “They’ve been similarly consistent to us this season and are just below us in the league. “They’ve got a good squad of players and a manager who has a fantastic pedigree.

  3. this is the tosser who was on Kay Adams show yesterday. You wonder why the BBC would want him to give his opinion on Rangers return to the top flight. Maybe the same reason they had McGillivan on to talk about sectarianism in Scottish football a few years ago
  4. his granny gave it to him for Christmas in 1964. He gave it to me on the way out of Hampden after the cup final in 1969. I found it in my loft and gave him it back around 1990
  5. it'll give the players a dress rehearsal at Hampden ahead of the tims game. Got to be useful that
  6. I had the one with the lion on it. My mate has still got the other one. Indeed he got Wullie J and Colin Stein to sign it at the 'Gersnet dinner
  7. It's channel 4. Cosgrove's a director, Alex Thomson's a fan of him...
  8. no way Zelalem would get anywhere Gunner's reserves
  9. well impressed Forrester and Tavernier
  10. "And if Mulholland thinks the act is working maybe he should take a closer look at the club he supports and the conduct of its supporters most notably at away matches such as Stranraer recently" he should concentrate on keeping the judiciary free from political interference..............
  11. I've got the Vladikavska away highlights about 30 mins STV Gerrry McNee and Charlie Nick commentary Recorded it myself off the telly .....put it on dvd I watch it a lot
  12. can't remember him making a transfer request I thought we let him go on good terms that allowed him to sign for our nearest rival Can't understand why our best player last season wasn't in the scheme of things
  13. The Act is bonkers, everybody knows that but politicians seem unable to put their hands up and say it was a mistake. It was a knee jerk reaction to rabid red top headlines, but they'll order their legal minions like Mulholland to put up a defence ..... until they're forced to change of course. Then we'll get a different opinion from the same guy if he's still there we have a common cause with the tims and others here. it's a law oppressing the right to freedom of speech if someone finds what you say is "offensive"
  14. I think we should have kept McGregor
  15. and he can't play against us when we meet them shortly
  16. bastards..................
  17. 2 0 Hemmings again
  18. at Motherwell gubbed Aberdeen today
  19. not seen Luca playing but he's been with us for a while. Anybody watched him and what do you think ?
  20. what matters is we get the best players available loan, longer contract, whatever ! that's how it is I remember Klinsman renting himself out....£1m per season apparently....
  21. that big black guy Falkirk brought on looks a player. Well impressed by the lad. get him signed !
  22. who cares whether your car is bought outright or rented not me
  23. Reckon Hibs and Falkirk could give most top tier teams a run for their money
