The morra: Everton 2-0 Leicester Arsenal 3-1 Fulham Cardiff 1-3 ‘Spurs

Can’t guess. Neil Lennon?

Good montage. Nice to see Willie Rae (bald head next to Wullie) Understudy to Sammy Cox but played a lot when Cox was injured. First pick for any other team in the land but Rae was Rangers.

Stunning victory for the Wolves. ‘Spurs too flaky for an authentic league challenge.

Mibbees. Everton and Hammers will both score twice.

Rangers will lose. celtic are not a great team. We’ve known that for a few seasons now. They don’t have to be. No other side is can get more than a few consecutive wins. Rangers certainly can’t. Jostling with Kilmarnock and Aberdeen isn’t a league winning status. Comparative success in Europe has reduced the level of criticism but what success was it? Most of the opposition were nonentities. The Whyte/Green excuses are wearing thin. We’ve got enough to see off the rest of Scotland and have a decent shot at the tims. Morelos apart we have no gallus guys and no tough guys and no high talent. Alfie is all three in one. Viva el Buffalo

Hot ‘Spurs melt Toffees.

Trawlers and tramps?

Cosgrove? Boatrace? I suppose he turned down the offer of a blue.

Twice at least and especially in the lead up to the goal he was in a good position to receive a pass but when it came, he was fractionally late in taking the ball. Maybe he was thinking about what to do with it once he’d got it but the really good footballers know that at the split second of delivery.

Defensive organisation is poor. McRorie is not quite awake today. Concentrate lad. The ball might come towards you. Alfredo would be dynamite with a little help up front. And the rest of the team needs to learn that at least one pass in five should be forward. The orange and blue is great. The football is poor.

de Bruyne and Aguero are wonderful players for City but the vital cog in the machine is David Silva. Ian McMillan with an extra power pack.

You’ll be rich on Monday. If I must, I would tweak the scores as follows: Wolves 1-4 Liverpool. (How I hope not) Chelsea 3-0 Leicester Hammers 3-1 Watford Everton 1-2 ‘Spurs West Ham are playing consistently well in a most un-Hammerslike fashion

Lennon surprisingly accurate in his post match comments. Probably feart that he might get barged by Stevie again.

Tedious. Wonder why Hibs fans haven’t turned out to see their team.

Bearger’s map at #12 shows the narrow footbridge at the approaches to the ground. Walked over it many times to a match and never knew it was called Crawford Bridge. Typical toff Embra name for what would just be a bridge anywhere else. There used to be an old guy with longish white hair in the 1950s who stood there on matchdays singing the songs of the day mostly Kenneth Mackellar stuff with a wee dash of Crosby. Trained voice but fallen on hard times. I doubt anyone remembers. Compo mibbees. EDIT. For the avoidance of doubt I meant the perhaps Compo remembers, not that Compo was the singer.

Very good, 26th. Pity any PQ peckers looking in won’t understand a word.

Shankland signing for Swansea according to FF.

Who will become Rogers’ assistant at Old Trafford? Giggs, Ancelotti, Zidane, the chap in charge of Croatia? It won’t happen but I’d go for Manuel Pellegrini.

Even better, Willie Thornton, Lawrie Reilly and Willie Bauld.

I hope you’re right, more in a pro-Wolves than an anti-Liverpool way. I’d fancy them more at Anfield than Molineux.

Hearts in a challenging fourth position in the League. A good season for the maroons. The trouble for them is that they used to be top and their current goal difference is -1.

A brace, as journos say, for a chap Hardie. Should we sign him?

Interesting matches this week for a change. Everton will score against City but not often enough. Leicester will not lose at Palace. Newcastle won’t score at Town. ’Spurs will beat Burnley more comfortably than 2-0. Watford v Cardiff? I don’t do Football League Division Three (South) Wolves will maul the softie south coast sand castle builders. Fulham v WestHam would normally be a draw but Fulham are very poor and the Hammers are flying. It all points to Hammers going back down the Thames with no points. Brighton may score but Chelsea will get more than two. So’ton might halt Arsenal’s wobbly resurgence but most likely won’t. Surely, at long last, Liverpool will trounce United. It’s got to be now hasn’t it? On that basis expect at least one point to go back along the East Lancs road. This result forecasting is easy, Gribz. You do the hard work and I invent a load of nonsense.
