I wonder where United will play while OT is demolished and rebuilt. Ground share at Goodison-on-Sea?

Those were the days. THE HEROES Ritchie, Shearer, Caldow, Davis, Paterson, Baxter; 🎵Scott, McMillan, Brand and Wilson were the forward line, Led by the fearless Jimmy Millar wearing number nine.🎵 THE OTHERS Fallon, McKay, Kennedy, Crerand, Kurila, Peacock, Conway, Chalmers, Carroll, Divers, Hughes. Scott, Millar, Brand, Wilson and Davis scored for the Famous.

I only see highlights of the Premier League but I saw most of the FA Cup last week and the football wasn’t that great. Falkirk v Partick Thistle wouldn’t look all that different if they played in proper stadiums with 30,000 crowds.

It’s admissible. You’re not complaining about the team.

Simultaneously lamentable and laughable. Some achievement.

No, you were right first time. You just forgot to add “up for victory” at the end of your post.

Does Sr Benitez not suffer from a heart condition. If so he shouldn’t come to Rangers for his own sake not the club’s.

Don’t they always do this, though, writing to prospective investors, players and their agents? Dinnae sign furra rangers becos thurr pyooor anti cafflick so they are

Never one better. Ask Gento.

I’m all in favour of punishing ‘keepers who hold the ball as if it were their pet cat while looking vacantly about the pitch. I’d also punish any ‘keeper who catches the ball in a standing position then sinks to his knees. Reverse throw-ins taken from the wrong position and either enforce foul throws or forget about it and make it throw as you like. A bit of quarter-backing might be exciting. And no “drop ball” or “bounce ball”. It’s a stot up as everybody knows.

Ah well - PNE v Villa? That would do. I fear, though, it will be Bournemouth v Brighton. At least United are out. A Bassey inspired Fulham kept their nerve at OT. Magpies were poor. They didn’t look fit. BHA deserved the win though Isak had a terrific goal correctly ruled out for offside.

Butland’s form has nothing to do with Clement. It’s everything to do with Butland.

It’s hypothetical, old bean. We can dream, can’t we?

I’d keep Hagi and maybe as a squad player Diamonde. Tav has run his course. A great attacking option but he occupied a slot usually reserved for a defender. Butland had a good season and still produces magnificent reaction saves but I’d prefer a competent tradesman ‘keeper. Balogun and Sterling can perform when fit but rarely are. None of the rest on the list has done anything of note. The galling thing about Ridvan is the money spent on him.

First Worrall out of the Cup, now Katic. Ex-Rangers centre halves not saving their clubs. Actually, Katic, apart from letting a pass go through his legs for de Bruyne to score, did nothing wrong. Better than Pröpper as a defender.

I’d play Kelly if only to find out if he should be retained at the end of the season.

Wolves go out on penalties missing their last two after leading 4-3. To tell the truth apart from two very good goals and one phenomenal scoring free kick the PNE game as a whole wasn’t very good. Nostalgia’s not what it used to be.

You mean super Jack, our saviour at Tynecastle? He’s not totally diabolical but he should have been sold at the end of last season when his reputation was intact. His career pattern is to start brilliantly and inexplicably fall away so there’s no coming back for him. Kelly no matter how bad should play for the rest of the season.

To be honest, it’s not my own idea. I overheard someone say that on the platform at Largs railway station about forty years ago.

It worked out ok in the end on Wednesday but generally, gifting two goals to the opposition early in the match is unlikely to turn out to be a consistently winning tactic.

Proud Preston go through 3-0 much to the delight of Stuart McCall in their backroom staff. Joe Worrall played very well at cb for Burnley - apart from some mistakes and misjudgements.

Wolves v Preston is my forlorn hope. Mags v Villa would do fine.

Bismarck did fine. United the team and won the Euro League though to be fair, not every country competed.

0-0 HT at Villa Park. The Welsh resisting stoutly on the eve of St David’s day. Haven’t done much but should have had a penalty. Villa did quite a lot but hit the ball straight at the ‘keeper. Rashford Desssersed one up in the air when all he had to do was score.
