Let's suppose St Johnstone had come to Ibrox and performed similarly in a 0 - 3 victory. The PQ report/discussions would have been admiring of Saints' ability to withstand pressure and their clinical, ruthless finishng and don't forget they could have scored twice in the first half. Rangers on the other hand had only a half-hearted claim for a soft penalty which would have been hard on Saints if the ref had given it and the otherwise, for all their second half pressure didn't have the guile to create any clear-cut chances against a doughty Perth rearguard. See, I could write their scripts for them. Any colour of specs will do except of course Rangers blue.

He needs a run of games and he needs to be allowed to be ineffective in some of f them without being binned. I'm sure he's got what it takes. Runs like a footballer not a road runner.

Ever the optimist, dB. Looks like a player right enough.

The press seem to be after Pedro big time. Compare the article with Saturday's one by the bufoon Provan and the laughable Killie insult story They must reckon he's good and needs to be got rid of quick before he can damage their favourites

I prefer not to make unpleasant comments about people but in Provan's case I can make an exception. What a rancid individual.

Will any agreement be necessary?

Knowing the score I switched on Sportsound. Gordon in patronising disbelief mode. Switched him off now.

Wolves and Villa stumble. Forest surprise Town. Magpies lose at Wednesday. They'll go up but maybe not as champions.

Nope. I know too many wealthy bookies to waste my precious few bawbees on wagering. Observe my previous forecast record and understand.

Is that Liewell? Thought it was Boris Yeltsin.

Does post #1 mean we have no future on Sunday?

In the crystal ball of fog I see these weird shapes: Sat Tottenham 3-1 Watford Man City 4-0 Hull Middlesboro 1-1 Burnley Stoke 1-2 Liverpool West Brom 1-2 Southampton West Ham 2-1 Swansea Bournemouth 0-3 Chelsea Sun Sunderland 1-3 Man Utd Everton 2-1 Leicester Mon Crystal Palace 1-1 Arsenal

Magpies scrape through. They and Brighton are going up but who will be champs? Wednesday back in the play-off places. Too much to hope that proud Preston can join them. Villa and Wolves charging up the table but too late. They will have to find a way of keeping that momentum going for next season.

Never rely on Liverpool.

Chelsea v City was an excellent match. Reasonable outcome was a City victory but paradoxically Chelsea deserved the win. Pity because a defeat would have made the last few games more exciting with 'Spurs in good form.

Maybe it's just the late stage of the season with minor injuries accumulating. The last day "decider" match against Aberdeen saw a team full of the walking wounded.

Unabashed by almost total failure, here goes: Tues: Burnley 1-0 Stoke Leicester 2-0 Sunderland Watford 0-1 West Brom Man Utd 2-0 Everton Wed: Arsenal 2-2 West Ham Hull 1-0 Middlesboro Southampton 2-2 Crystal Palace Swansea 0-1 Tottenham Chelsea 2-2 Man City Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth

No brainer. Aberdeen must lose. Another club will incidentally derive a benefit from a sheep defeat but that benefit is coming anyway so it will be a bit of an anti-climax for them.

dB. #78: "The "tradition" of cattle raiding went on well down into the 16th and 17th century." Has it stopped?

You won't have to run very fast to catch him.

Greendykes, Uilleam, not Greenbank.

First offender, perhaps.

I don't like to be unkind so I won't name the centre half involved in a terrible debacle. Fair play. He was outstanding when he played for Buckie Thistle. Willie T came in from St Mirren and steadied the ship.

You can't eliminate three hundred years of shared history and enterprise. "Scotland" now is not the "Scotland" that existed pre-union, even less the "Scotland" that seemed to exist when William Wallace was a red Clydeside shop steward, living in a wee bit hill and glen and painting his face blue.
