  1. If Chelsea score once they'll be good enough for more. Costa and Sanchez will be interesting. Everton to lose to Bournemouth. That's the way those two clubs perform after results like last week. The Albion should be good enough for Stoke and Watford could beat Burnley.
  2. Finished 0 - 4. Bilic looks ninety years old.
  3. City destroying the Hammers - 0 - 3 half time. Sublime football. Chelsea can't match it but they have greater energy and consistency so they will win the league.
  4. They've been clever, though. These stars have (ahem) snubbed Chelsea to stay at celtic and one in particular is a now a very valuable commodity even though no buyer has made an offer. He did go to London, however, to see a knee injury specialist.
  5. Mirror Group.
  6. I was right about the Albion but wrong about the rest. Liverpool were fortunate. Took them an hour to produce any cohesive play. Chelsea were very good. They've got dynamos in Costa, Kante and Moses with skill to match their energy.
  7. Thirty years to the day since the limmer showed us the way out of the cup. 0 - 1 to the Accies. Remember it like yesterday - better, actually.
  8. Boro won't beat Baggies, Bournemouth should beat Palace, Arsenal and 'Spurs will score more than two each but otherwise you could be right.
  9. 5th round derbies Fulham v 'Spurs and Rovers v United. Gunners to Sutton and Wolves get Chelsea. Boro' or Oxford can slip under the radar to round 6.
  10. 4 - 0, so no..
  11. 'Spurs 2 down at half time at home to Wycombe and Kane Hemmings scores for Oxford against the Magpies. Oxford win 3 - 0! Hotspurs come back to 2 - 2, go down to 2 - 3 then make it 4 - 3 in added time.
  12. Liverpool out 1 - 2 against Wolves. The ghosts of the mighty 50s Wanderers must have been on the pitch at Anfield today.
  13. "..... McColl to Billy Simpson Here come the boys in blue He beats the celtic centre half And in goes number two ....." A verse from an old refrain.
  14. Collector's item.
  15. Not even the mhedia can hype up nineteen polnts. The gap is patent..
  16. It was indeed
  17. Turned many a fullback in his day - mostly inside out.
  18. Complain to Sky. Tims would in droves. I would have thought that their Pontiff would have been a prior target.
  19. Just short of probably.
  20. Almost but not quite.
  21. Not just Scotch refs who make rubbish decisions.
  22. Shame they didn't have a decent dram to put in it.
  23. Swans swimming all over the 'Pool. 0 - 2 early second half. 1 - 2 as I type. 2 - 2 then 2 - 3 as edit!
  24. Arbroath 36 - Bon Accord 0, SC First Round tie 1885.
  25. Motherwell was never a team I disliked until the play-off match. I wonder if any of the pitch invaders were tims in disguise. Old-timers' grannies will remember their post-war 'keeper, Johnstone, who had the longest throw out in world football. He could throw the ball all the way from the goal line at Fir Park to Kilmarnock. The Scottish national selectors sometimes used to pick their half back Redpath ahead of Samy Cox. At least Redpath could play a bit so it wasn't on a par with the selection of James Forrest uncle of Jim at inside right instead of the Airdrie genius Ian McMillan or even former hibbee Bobby Johnstone dazzling at Manchester City. They had a smashing team 1960/61. A half line of Aitken, Martis and McCann and a sublime front line of Hunter, Reid, St John, Quinn and Weir. Reid went on to play for Berwick but we'll gloss over that. You could say Rangers have had both the best and the worst from Motherwell in Tam Forsyth and Gregor Stevens. One of them a hard as nails, tough tackling, uncompromising, indomitable defender. The other? Best to say nothing. There have been some thrilling cup-ties involving Rangers and Motherwell. Let's hope for another. 5 - 2 would do nicely.
