More play acting. They’ll have a grievance when their door’s battered down at four in the morning and they wake up in a cell a hundred miles away with a busted head where they stay for a month before being let out without the ‘bus fare home.

alexscottislegend as one of our number proclaims every time he visits the Board and note my username. We’ve had better players than him but there was never a more thrilling sight at Ibrox than Scott racing down the wing. A taxi driver in Liverpool was waxing eloquent on an old-time Scottish winger that played for Everton. I asked if it was Tommy Ring. I got a pitying look.

Good stuff, compo but the Bramall Lane Broom’s not so new. Just been at the back of the cupboard.

Villa beat Arsenal 1-0 and are third where they’ll remain even if City manage to win their game in hand. Liverpool have sneaked up to number one. United stay sixth. How do they suffer disaster after catastrophe at Old Trafford yet remain so far up the table?

Bench packed with defenders. Does PC fear the worst?

If a gypsy’s curse exists, should Rangers be bringing in a priest to exorcise it?

Nonsense. Robson gave them a win at Ibrox. He’s safe for five seasons.

The puppet does not advise the puller of the strings. Of course, McLeod may only be a glove puppet in which case the advice, were he able to utter it, would be “ouch”.

Winger’s disease. Jimmy Johnstone had it in spades. Henderson and Wilson were immune. Beat the man, make the pass or the cross or go for goal.

Not quite. Fourth, even third, not impossible. Villa shook off the Gerrard effect in a way Rangers are maybe just getting round to, namely by hiring a professional manager.

…. so far.

Got a fright there ‘til I realised who you meant.

The product is available. The buyer decides if he wants to pay.

Yes.

Anyone in mind?

Are you a closet Hatter or did Arsenal wreck one of your investments?

To pay to see the Rangers play is “being fleeced”?

These’ll be buskins he’s got on his feet, are they?

What? Sunderland ahead of Bayern, Barcelona or Brechin?

Sunderland, currently 9th in the Championship have sacked Tony Mowbray. He’s been doubtful about the policy of their Director of Football to bring in young players from round the world, develop them and sell at profit. Reported to have warned the Board that they won’t get promotion that way. Tabloid suggestions that Beale or Muscat may be his replacement or @SykseyBear favourite, Alex Rae. Shows the kind of drivel tabloids come up with. No doubt Mowbray will take it on the chin.

Yep. “seated” not “sat”.

Hasn’t aged well. There comes a time when dressing young no longer helps. The features sabotage your efforts.

Sima’s got a good fast strike when he gives it the hoof.

The Haaland/Grealish incident was inexplicable. Having said that I don’t think Grealish was going to score. Two defenders were arrowing in on him and they would have got him before he got his shot away. Maybe the ref thought the same and that City would make a better opportunity from the free kick.

City’s defence is porous.
