Havent read the full thread yet to get an idea of the overall opinion but I would say Gersnet over the years has always been more reserved and not so much knee jerk reactions. Gio seems a bit of a tactical genius in the Europa league but there is a pattern being created domestically of not changing it. On Saturday after 15 minutes I was screaming he needs to make at least one sub else it would be 3-0 by half time but he tried to ride the storm hoping we would come in the game. Its been seen many a time by the likes of Mourinho that he doesnt care how many minutes have gone in a game, if a change is needed then do it for tactical reasons at a minimum. FWIW I originally would have very slightly preferred Gattuso with his mass passion but overall thought Gio could perhaps be better for long term building - and it hasnt been one year yet so its to early to make a change now for me.

I disagree. At the time of 3 of the goals I said that McGregor would have probably gotten to two of them and wouldnt have made the third error. McGregor's shot stopping was still phenomenal for large parts of last season and I thought if he is fit he should still start unless we purchased a new keeper. I just havent fancied McLaughin since day one. As such dropping a keeper can have bigger impacts on confidence compared to outfield players but it can also take him out of the firing line if done properly. McGregor has always been a big game player and I think Ajax will be having a lot of action around our goal therefore I'd be much more confident starting McGregor. Id would be interesting to know what goalies are free agents at the moment.

They will probably qualify. How many Barca players can actually play.

Not sure about the Anthony signing for Man Utd. 86 Million? The manager is putting a lot of his eggs in one basket.

Very early. I wouldnt have had a fiver of Compo's pension on this being the first manager to leave. Although a bit of karma there. Fulham will have a hint of a smile and they have a better manager.

I'll have a wee bash. Rangers 4-0 Queen of the South Wright FGS

Haha. How come you get points for a score to nothing. No wonder you are the expert - This is a stewards enquiry if Ive ever saw one. Has a score prediction and a scorer "just incase" 😄

Im a Stat man Ski ba bop

While Im up. Crystal Palace 2-1 Brentford Fulham 0-0 Brighton Southampton 0-1 Chelsea Leeds 1-1 Everton Arsenal 0-2 Aston Villa Bournemouth 1-1 Wolves Man City 6-2 Nottingham Forest West Ham 2-3 Tottenham Liverpool 2-0 Newcastle Leicester 0-1 Man Utd

Best looking player we have had in a long time. He is not quite as good as his Croat compatriot Dado but he definitely has ability. 1.2m is a snip.

I was gonna ask about this as Im sure I heard someone say 149. Im sure it was that price when I had a ST many moons ago. 165 yes steep but you would get many paying much more for the Liverpool game alone.

Fantastic draw - Id have preferred Liverpool at Ibrox first. If we can get something from the first two games then its game on v them. But its all about just being in the draw this season - its massive and was a must.

That was a huge win for West Ham but its papering over the cracks. Moyes is slowing being found out - and like Gerrard has no tactical noise. Good to see Arsenal flying high and Potter is a breathe of fresh air at Brig-a-ton.

I dont rate any of the players you stated. Prior to injury Loftus was the next thing I've seen to Vieira. He is very under rated - a box to box player. Pulisic - my word - he is terrible. As I said - best manager in the league in Tuchel but he has been very much hampered. I think he will walk and it will be Chelsea's loss.

Anyway... welcome Mr Ridvan ... - apologies you are being compared to some of our nutcases laying on a beach. 😂 😎

There was questions raised when I first asked for a 'Step" in 1989....... A side swift or whatever...That borders some poofter doos.

Sorry but not Mcrorie. Lets start setting the standards. McRorie is no Mcgregor coming through. As I said in other thread - go get Leno on a 5 year deal.

Chelsea - possibly the best manager in the league but I see him leaving. He has been hampered a lot to be fair. Their squad is ridiculous and they need to sell. But starting XI is very strong. Tuchel should go 5-3-2 and they will batter teams. Mendy James Chalobah Koulibaly Thiago Chilwell Kante Loftus Havertz Werner Sterling That side wins a lot of games. I dont buy the Mount hype - thats all he is - Hype. Everton - Wow what a mess. If ever the owner needed to make a sacking its now and go get Mo Po. Lampard will get them 17th at best. Its obvious the owners dont like him as they arent backing him - so get rid. Fat Frank is never a manager - way to egoistic.

I laughed too much at this. Exactly what is that. I'll nip into the barber for a side shed. Must be a Edinbra saying

Haha. Technically Bobby Charlton might not have had a choice. And Archie McPherson? I just give him the award for the best ever. Either way...its a doo. And nothing wrong with that. The Papac similarities are there.

Are you trying to defend bad hair doo's??? 😘

Hence my previous comment go for Leno at Arsenal. Yes its a long shot but its obvious he doesnt want to go to Fulham. Can we get Klos on the phone to him. That is a great shout. Other than that keepers are not propping out.

My jury is out on this tactic Bill, McGregor isnt going to adapt in his final year. I just dont think Mcloughin (sp) is good enough. We have had an immense run of goalkeepers through the last 3-4 decades and McGregor has been right up there. Gio is clever he will know exactly what he wants.

Goalkeeping - If McGregor is as fresh as ever then he starts hands down. A genuine world class shot stopper to this day. Alright he may not be this new play it from feet type but that is easily sorted if a defener takes the ball from him on a goal kick instantly. Personally - Id be using the Bassey money and going to Arsenal and paying the asking price of 10 million for Leno.

Very interesting read is this thread. Bluedell - I think they may have turned down the Furness for the pies. Some of them you couldnt even touch until about 71 minutes in the match. The old curry pies were dangerous and I still laugh at a poor chap in the Broomloan at a CL game when he toyed with his pie (that doesnt seem right) and then bit it as Buffel scored and he was in agony with curry pouring down his hands 😂 Obviously pleasing up to 50,000 mouths isnt going to be the easiest thing to do. The thing to do is keep it simple. For some burgers having lettuce etc and others being in a plain bun is comical. How come burger king can get it right with the 1000s they get every day - albeit prepared (probably with parts unknown) but they still deliver.
