Id be sending them the bill anyway. Surely we should have CCTV to prove they were wrecked on purpose and not substandard.

Delighted I never put a coupon on. Won 300 quid on Saturday and just picked it up yesterday afternoon (feels good to actually go to bookies after years again). I was going to put the winnings on Arsenal, Blackburn, Wolves, Aberdeen and Kilmarnock. The sheep would have cost me. What a mess they are, the board are rotten. Stewart Milne is minted too but he will do an offski as soon as work starts on the new stadium and he has bought the pittodrie for a snip.

I agree, came on earlier expecting a lot more posts. If we lost you can bet there would be double the pages about complaints.

Not sure about the German fee but its was 6.6m for that full back Santos who didnt get a touch! I think those 2 might come good but at the moment cant adapt to the rest, Koscielny was absolutely terrible, and Song set up the first goal then was awful and cost them 2 goals.

Blackburn would be lucky to get a shot on target against Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea but score 4 and counting against Arsenal...thats how far Arsenal have fallen behind. Wengers failure to sign quality is going to bite massive this season. Vermaelan and Wilshire are the only 2 to come back but Vermaelan will get injured again and I cant see Wilshire making much difference.

Tempted to stick a tenner on Wenger not being in charge of Arsenals next game.

Arsenal's signings were papering over the cracks. Arteta is now their best midfielder. With this team they will struggle to be top half. Teams like Stoke, Bolton, Villa, Everton, Fulham will well fancy finishing above Arsenal right now. The defence is just scary, gifting a team like Blackburn goals.

One of the first commentators I can remember on the radio....always remember his voice for "oh theres a drrrrrrrrive and a goal". Yeah good commentator.

Mainly explains my questions. Really havent taken much notice of this side of it as I lost interest during the takeover "will it or wont it happen" stage that dragged on for months. Its a strange one if they didnt know about it though considering the time they took to get the deal through.

Probably the reason we had the bounce game in the first place...to get him more match practice for Sunday.

There might be a thread or 2 kicking around explaining this but I havent really keep up to speed on the situation since the take over. What Im confused about is this tax bill which some reports say could be up to 49m. The 3 things Im confused about are: What is this bill all about? (has it built up over the years of debt??) Is the amount of 49m realistic or exaggerated? Why didnt Whytes financial team know this would still be coming AFTER a takeover? With the amount of time they took I thought they would have done their homework. Why after the takeover was the reports all saying our debts are cleared when clearly there is the chance of this mass lump sum amount which was obviously created before Whyte took over?

Get a carry out Ian and start that at 7am. These early kick offs are great for us in Asia, means we can spent the day in the bars with our shorts on then get ready for the game. But I'll be watching it in UK this weekend which is nice as I'll arrive at 10am and get in just in time for K/O, the folks better have a stack of tennents in for me.

It was worth a fiver at those odds. My treble came up though, had 50 quid on arsenal, Cardiff and West Ham.

Wigan and Motherwell double, worth a fiver! 204/1

Bedoya has played 20 mins for us and Mckay hasnt kicked a ball so until I have seen them in a blue jersey I will hold putting my team up, but it does look promising and that looks near enough the team I'd be hoping to write down. Although Wylde and Ness might sneak into my XI so Id be looking at a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3. If Bedoya and McKay live up to the promise it would be Lafferty making way as he isnt near consistant enough and only comes good in the last 7 games of a season. Id have Broadfoot in at RB ahead of Whittaker.

I agree seeing Naismith, Bedoya, Davis and McKay looks promising, plus with Wylde in there also it gives a good option. But we're forgetting Ness, I feel he has a big part to play if he progresses from last season.

Been dry for about 2 weeks.....perhaps I actually need a drink

Its so quick the page I want comes up before i even click it Nice Job (with a US accent). :cheers:

Bizarre, i posted 2nd on this thread and its disappeared. Similar thoughts though, was a cracking player at Fulham but edging towards the end of his career and wouldnt want it to end up like Ljungberg at Celtic. Need to see what Bedoya and the others are like first.

Good news for me especially with Hutton, I think he should be playing much more. Its ok saying sitting on the isnt doing him good but for me he would be playing well ahead of McCulloch and Edu. And with Ness injury prone, Mckay not in the team yet, Hutton will come in handy during the busy winter periods. For Fleck going out in loan would have done him good as he has went backwards in the last 2-3 seasons, so regular football to get his confidence back would have been good.

Fletcher far too casual for the penalty. He's an over rated player anyway, as good as Alex Ferguson is Ive never seen what he see's in Fletcher. He would fit into a team like Sunderland. It was pretty dire to watch. Agree with earlier poster going to Liechtenstein isnt a easy trip at all. Even if we win that game Spain could play their 2nd team and if they perform we wont get a touch of the ball in the final 3rd. Walter Smith or Strachan is they way forward to qualify for Brazil 2014, especially considering the kind group we have been drawn into.

I think we will sneak a win by 1 goal. However I think Levein will be kept in the job regardless, the SFA will use the excuse 'its time for stability rather than chopping and changing' and they will keep him on which is a depressing thought. I like Zappa'a enthusism, 6 pts from Lithuania and Leichtenstein is achievable (just) and then it comes down to Spain doing us a favour against the Czechs plus us hoping to get something in Spain. Cant see it myself though.

I thought the clip would be a complemation of Mols. That game doesnt remind me of his injury, but more of a 'what if'. I remember it for the night we should have beaten Munich. Even when Mols went off we should have scored, JJ missed that sitter in the 2nd half.

What a team that was. We were well on top before Mols went off and would have won IMO. Just watching the first minute, look at how we kept the ball and passed it around....different league compared to now.

Used to enjoy watching the masters. About time we put a real team out, I always wondered why we played likes of Nicky Walker in goal when Goram was available. What was the squad? Any clips going around?
