  1. Toffees a goal down at the interval don't know who's the worst them or Rangers
  2. Bookies have us hot favourites Rangers 1/7 Draw 11/2 St Johnstone 11/1 Do these games go to extra time
  3. It’s going to be a very low attendance today
  4. All this talk about players not being match fit I wonder it's not as if we play football at any real pace no lightning breaking from defence so if players are fit enough get them on the bench at least even depending on situation give them the last 20 minutes
  5. Another person's wages are of no concern to me
  6. A win for United last night a good start to their campaign
  7. The fans will have to realize the club is skint our biscuit tin is empty we are up the creek without a paddle.
  8. Only five English players starting in the first premiership match of the season and united playing without a recognized centre forward maybe we should try that give Dressers a seat on the bench against StJohnstone tomorrow.
  9. Might be no more money for transfers because the £9.5 million kit saga with Elite sports isn’t yet resolved after the judge has been told no aggreement has been signed.
  10. you cant play Davies and leave out Propper
  11. time to ring some changes i'd drop Tav play Sterling and the young lad Fraser at right back you dont need two holding midfield men so line them up 4 1 3 2

    Things need to improve fast before the fans turn on him and his team maybe he could try a different formation for a few games to see if that might help
  13. Meanwhile whilst we Fanny about all the rest don’t seem to have any problems adding to their squads
  14. 1961 league cup final replay some real players in this photo not the duds we have to endure today.
  15. Probably go to a new club and play thirty games a season
  16. They might be doing us a favour
  17. Rangers 2 St Johnstone 0 FGS Dessers
  18. EXCLUSIVEInside Man United's £2bn super stadium master plan: An intimidating Red Wall of fans, a 24-7 money-making complex... and help from a Man City season-ticket holder Mike Keegan Who can blame Manchester United for wanting to build a new stadium? Old Trafford has fallen into disrepair. The roof leaks and the famous old ground has become a relic unbefitting of the world’s biggest football club. United could still opt to redevelop Old Trafford, of course, but should they take the plunge on a new ground it will be the biggest, most expensive project of its kind Britain has seen. Estimates range from £2billion upwards, with plans not only for a new state-of-the-art stadium but also vast swathes of land around it. Here, Mail Sport examines what it takes to carry out such a gargantuan task — and why the Red Devils are taking inspiration from the City of Angels. Manchester United are assessing their options as they look to establish whether to build a new stadium or refurbish Old Trafford Their iconic stadium has fallen into disrepair over recent years with the roof leaking Building a new stadium would be the most expensive project of its kind Design and feel How do you want your stadium to look and feel? That is the first major question that needs to be answered. In Los Angeles, they wanted a ‘Southern California feel’ for SoFi Stadium, which opened in 2020 and is widely viewed as one of the best venues on the planet. To them, that meant bringing the inside, outside. Cover, but not domes. Designers wanted those present to feel the cool breeze of the Pacific from their seats. When it comes to Manchester, a roof that does not leak would be a start. But designers will be given the major task of representing United in stadium format. That means a big, impressive stadium for a big, impressive club. A cash-generating tourist attraction but also a cauldron of noise. In a perfect world, a capacity of 100,000, as mentioned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, would make United’s new stadium the second-biggest in Europe, after Barcelona’s redeveloped Nou Camp. In the spring of 2022, the Glazer family commissioned consultants to examine options for a redevelopment. Populous, the designers of Tottenham’s bar- setting home, were tasked with coming up with a masterplan. They teamed up with US project manager Legends, which also worked on the redevelopment of Liverpool’s Anfield Road stand. It is understood that a key part of their work was a major examination of United’s fanbase. Data was crunched not just on numbers, season-ticket holders and waiting lists but also on demographics and disposable income. The aim of that exercise, which now happens with most sporting new builds, was to ensure the venue catered for all needs and maximised revenues. Spurs are thought to have nailed it in this area by identifying no fewer than nine levels of varying corporate offerings. Gone are the days when fans had a binary choice between a full service, four-course meal in a box, and a regular seat. Those who visit can now choose from varying levels of add-ons and experiences. But although Spurs benefit from being based in London, they don’t have United’s fanbase. Already on a regular matchday, United host thousands of overseas supporters in corporate areas and there is the potential for huge growth in the number of fans visiting from China and India.
  19. Away fans will be locked out of the next TWO Old Firm games after Celticand Rangers became embroiled in another bitter fall-out over tickets. It was announced last term that an agreement had been struck which would see an allocation of around five per cent at both grounds. That meant both clubs would be supported by around 2,500 visiting fans at Celtic Park and Ibrox for the coming season and beyond. But it's emerged tonight that there's been a major U-turn with Celtic raising concerns over the Ne'er Day derby arrangements. The Hoops host Philippe Clement's side at Parkhead in the first derby of the season on September 1 and have forked out over the summer to put extra security measures in place in and around their stadium. But with ongoing delays at Ibrox, Rangers have been unable to do the same as they play at their temporary home at Hampden. Celts are scheduled to make the trip to Govan on January 2 but haven't been given the guarantees that were originally put in place earlier this year. And as Celtic refuse to make away tickets available for Rangers for next month's showdown, it's likely their rivals will adopt a similar stance for the second league fixture.
  20. All rather childish about time the football authorities knocked their heads together
  21. might be nearer to home
  22. Right now the manager has got to get his team fixed for Saturday and the game against St Johnstone easier said than done as it looks like he hasn't got a left looks like he doesn't fancy young Fraser .
