He was almost begging for it, why I don't know. No one can do anything with the Scotland squad other than fail

Just using up transfer window days

Didn't Pardew get a 9 year contract?

Sadly I agree with you. From what we know, Ashley doesn't negotiate or discuss, it's just take it or leave it. I think inwardly he hates Rafa for the adulation he gets from the fans

Can't decide whether to let Rafa spend all the money from the sale of Joselu on new strikers

Any one of us on this forum would finish in the top 2 if we managed Celtic

Not a chance, absolutely no challenge for him at all. As has been said many times, winning games with Celtic in the SPL is like shooting fish in a barrel.

I remember many years ago attending the leaving do of an employee at the huge company that I worked for. I was talking to the then new MD and I said how nice it was to see someone who had worked for the company for 30years. He said 'I don't want my managers working for me for 30 years, 3 years max and by then you've had the best out of them' I think that applies to football managers, it must be difficult to maintain the momentum over long periods, of course there are exceptions

can't seem to get any streams

MA does not see us as a football club but as a business who's sole purpose is to make money, not to please a load of supporters. He could stick in £80 mill get us up to 7th but what will be the return for his investment? The only place for the real big money is the Champions League and you can't buy your way into that unless you have a Man City type owner prepared to throw hundreds of millions at it just for fun. The only way we will enjoy seeing the real potential of the club being developed is with a new owner

Joselu because he can't move quick enough to join the forwards so he is always in midfield

Really want MC to win because of the points Liverpool have got through blatant cheating just like Saturday. I know there is the issue of the money thrown at Man City but I have to say that their football is a delight to watch and Pep is a true gentleman.

I really enjoy the NBC commentary on the games, very fair and very knowledgeable

Kevin Keegans 'entertainers' were the ones who really launched Sky Sports because everyone wanted to watch them play

Rafas last game at home as our manager

He certainly booked his ticket back to Chelsea yesterday

Bring in another Pardew for £500 grand a year and save £5.5 mill on Rafas wages. Mike will be thinking along those lines

Really want City to stuff ManU and go on to win the title. Pep seems like a gentlemans gentleman and I think they deserve it

I may not watch the Brighton game because he's not playing. He has brought a new level to the team and I love his attitude

One of the problems is that what would need to be spent to get us up there with the top 7 or so may possibly cost more than what we'd get back and that is the way MA will look at it. I remember reading something a couple of years ago the in the Europa League you need to get as far as the semi final just to break even. That may well have change now but I think you need to get in the Champions league to really reap the benefits. Many clubs have tried to throw money at it to get there and failed

4*0 down goodbye OGS

Bad appointment, he is just one of the boys and has no real presence about him

This will not be easy, I think Southampton have been playing well as of late

How many extra points have Liverpool got from penalties given for Saha diving and cheaing. Add to that the thug Henderson and no I don't want them to win it

Wouldn't hesitate at £300 mil provided all Ashley and SD connections were wiped
