Really wish instead of interviewing fanzine writers etc, places would interview leading posters from here.

Carragher, really?

Blatantly going into the season with Carroll, Shola, Best, Lovenkrands and Xisco - and loaning Ranger out. Can see us not signing any forwards.

I hate managers like Keane and Strachan who just sign players they've had at previous clubs. Absolutely no creativity at all. Still, not as bad as Paul Sturrock just giving his son a contract every year.

Yeah, if Jonas is able to play even 45 minutes then replace Xisco with him... and maybe replace Best with Xisco.

I'd like to see: Krul Perch Coloccini Williamson Enrique Routledge Barton Guthrie Xisco Carroll Best With Vuckic and Tavernier getting some minutes, hopefully.

Nolan did not have a good game. He made about three runs into the box with the ball that were snuffed out because he is so fucking sluggish, other than that he contributed fuck all. The big black lad and the guy with blonde hair absolutely bossed the centre of the park, a fact made even more shameful by the fact that our 'wide men' spent a lot of their time in there with Smith and Nolan.

Both injured on the same boat? What the fuck happened like? Shark Week man. Fucking HTT.

How is he not at fault for the first goal? It looked like a slide tackle that he was going to make, easily, and being the last man, he had to make it. He missed the ball somehow and they scored as a result.

Bristol City were a good outside bet even before James joined them.

Better keep your cricket box on after practice, joey.

I'd take Wheater and Digard from their squad. Strachan keeps persevering with that Rhys Williams lad in centre mid though, and I've yet to see him have a good game.

Saw that the other day, canny read.

Rich, you can be quite eloquent when the situation requires it.

Did well yesterday. The lads singing in the Gallowgate sang the "lets all have a Xisco" song when he cut inside and flashed a shot just wide as well.

Sounds very authentic, heard it from the nearest part of the East Stand to where you were.

Especially seeing as we didn't retain Fitzy.

Transfer stories seem to have dried up these last few days.

was excellent.

The freekick was unstoppable, no keeper would have saved it. I thought at first Harper might have done better for the second though. Was hard to tell really.

Can't believe we don't try him up front. Lots of people were voicing that today, "we know Shola's shit, give Best or Xisco a go" was the concensus.

From the Norwich highlights and today's appearance, there could be a future for Xisco being played wide.

Made one absolutely top drawer save today - scissors kick type shot inside the area from about 10 yards, very hard, and he stuck out an arm and turned it over the bar.

R.Taylor and Guthrie today (particularly the latter) were playing pretty much as central midfielders. We looked a million percent better with Guthrie/Nolan in the centre and Xisco wide left.
