Doubt if it’s true but if there’s a profit of £M1 to be had, sell him.

And there was me thinking that, like Gonzo probably, they would have spent the evening at the Staatsoper with perhaps a visit to the Hofburg this morning.

Before your time, dB, but on your definition of a 10, the exemplar is Ralph Brand. He had his 82nd birthday the other day so I suppose it would be asking too much to bring him back.

Correct in every respect but particularly with regard to Conservative and Labour MSPs.

I was lucky to see Fachetti do that very thing. Wasn’t good enough, though. 1-0.

Ian Rush thinks Liverpool would have a better chance of the league title if they were to miss the Europa League. Dean Saunders couldn’t go as far as that but he reported that playing on a Sunday after a trip abroad, the team could never play as well as normal especially in the first half. According to him Liverpool tried all sorts of changes to training and travel but nothing worked.

As gambles go, you could do a lot worse.

I was going to mention the good looking girls in the big frocks but Mrs 7 was in the room so I thought best not.

The thing about Vienna is you might get to the stage where you say the hell with the football, I’m enjoying this too much.. Wiener Schnitzel mit senff and a great whack of apfel strudel.

See the state of Liverpool’s away strip? Child’s pyjamas. Award the match to Bournemouth 3-0.

City are starving Chelsea of the ball. It’s intricate but it’s not exciting. Perhaps the chasing around will exhaust Chelsea and City can scre a couple in the last twenty minutes. And suddenly an old fashioned hoof up the wing leads to a goal. Show Biz 1, Sheikhs’ XI 0. Ends 2-0.

Back to where he once belonged in the half line.

Thanks, Pete. Thor himself never launched a better thunderbolt. You can see me berserking three quarters of the way up the north terrace justin the Ra;gers side of the he half line. Saw the foot go back. Saw the ball in the net. Never saw it in flight. And how reliable was Billy Ritchie. No panic.

Four of the five stalwarts who stood in front of Bobby Brown in the Iron Curtain, Young, Shaw, Woodburn and Cox, were captains of the Scottish international side. Strange that Ian McColl, possibly best qualified for the job, didn’t although he was occasionally team captain of Rangers. Excellent fellow though Tavernier may be I don’t think he has the bloody-minded qualities of any of them. Shearer, Greig, Gough - they all had it in spades.

Got monstered by Hughes early in his Rangers career but came on to to be a superb player who added physical strength to his assurance with the ball. Provider of one of life’s indelible memories.

Week after week without a lot of outstanding fixtures. Chelsea v City is the exception. Chelsea must win for themselves and for Liverpool. I hope they don’t. Sixty + years ago Newcastle v Wolves would have been match of the day. Leaving Ashley out of it I like the Mags to prosper but I would really like Wolves to stay up so I hope they win.

If only.

Thought Arsenal were going to do it tonight. Looked better than United but couldn’t keep a lead. Excellent win for the Wolves.

Jings.

As usual.

Can’t do worse than that except one of the central defenders has to give way to John Valentine.

?Scott, McMillan, Brand and Wison Was the forward line Led by the fearless Jimmy Millar Wearing number nine.? Hymns Ancient and Modern no. 1962

Here we go again. This XI will not be the same as my previous which was different from the one before. Goram; Caldow, McKinnon, Woodburn, Cox; Greig (c), Gascoigne, Baxter; Laudrup, Mols, Hateley. For a he first time ever I had a split second hesitation about Goram. The goalie was always the easiest choice with Billy reliable Ritchie as backup. But this time I had a wee thought about Allan McGregor.

Remote from any other conduit of information and having five spare minutes I flicked on Pacific Shelf, sorry, Pacific Quay for confirmation that celtic had got possession of today’s prize and heard Richard Gordon begin to describe Rogers’ gracious acceptance of whatever was being given as an offering and so switched off again. It was the big Don’s tone of voice that intrigued. Auld mither Gordon’s loon sounded rueful but nonetheless happy that a personal disappointment was made better by the fact that good friends had benefited. 26th, a man of gteater fortitude than I, will no doubt give the roll call of the happy and the sad. The big question: does St Pat’s Hampden triumph make up for the Tynecastle disaster?

Low level but he looks right.
