game but 3 points is all that matters.

Very good performance against a very decent team. We could easily have won the game too. 

 

Beat Porto at Ibrox and we have every chance of going through. Bring on the Well

Agree. Porto are a decent side and usually a CL team, so an away point is priceless.

And then there were 6....

 

When Aston Villa got relegated a couple of seasons ago it meant there were 6 clubs left who have competed in all the Premier League seasons. Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Man Utd and Tottenham.

 

Over the seasons some big clubs have gone like Newcastle, West Ham, Leeds and Villa. Even Man City were in the 3rd tier in 1999. But could there be an even bigger surprise and any of the remaining 6 ever being relegated in the near future. Its something Sam Allardyce commented on yesterday about Man Utd.

 

Arsenal - Not a chance. They are too well run behind the scenes and can bully mid to lower team levels at home. Their away form was relegation form in the last 15 months but I dont see Arsenal ever crashing in the near future.

 

Chelsea - If Chelsea were to ever drop it would be down to finances with Roman leaving and the club being like Leeds with way too much debt. On the park they will always have enough quality to not be in danger. Finishing 11th a few years ago is as bad as it will get for Chelsea. If Roman did sell they would have buyers queing up.

 

Everton - The Toffees dabbled with relegation fears in the late 90s early 00s before Moyes came in. They made an escape finishing 4th bottom one season. At the moment they occupy a relegation spot after 8 games. This international break is typically where the league shows a true reflection of the team. Everton have chopped and changed manager too often as the fans dont know what they want - An all out attacking manage like Martinez or a Not lose manage like Allardyce. For me they had the best in Koeman who just had a poor run and paid for it. Now Marco Silva has all the pressure on him.

 

Liverpool - Simply not a hope unfortunately! They are bordering going on to be the next dominate force.

 

Man Utd - Id say they are possibly behind Everton on being so poorly on the pitch despite being higher up. They are spiraling down every year and despite spending so much money their squad is getting weaker and weaker. Its the fact they are the machine that is Man Utd that could be carrying them at the moment but teams are sussing them out big time. For me they have the wrong manager. OGS lifted the side for a few games but he took Cardiff down and only performed in Norway with Molde - that cant be the basis of a long term Man Utd manager - its just what Brighton are doing in taking someone like Potter who earned his trade in Scandinavia. No disrepect to them but that level isnt near the top 4 leagues in Europe. The board at Man Utd have got to be reviewing this. I cant see them going down, it would be bigger than Leicester winning the league but they have no chance of top 4 or 6 at the moment.

 

Tottenham - Like Chelsea I think if Spurs fell away it would be financially after paying for a Billion pound stadium. Not only that they cant be letting over 100 million worth of players walk away for free. Vertongan, Alderweirald and Eriksen are all out of contract and could pre-sign for a club in January. There manager seems to have lost the dressing room and might be working his ticket out. His comments since April have been bizarre and it could have came from dropping Lucas Moura from the CL final who blasted them into that match. But to publicly say his squad isnt together is wrong. I dont see them ever going down in the near future though, Levy would easily pick up a good manager if Mo Po leaves.

 

 

 

I can't see the Leeds situation ever happening at Chelsea or any of the larger top 6 PM clubs as there would always be someone or an org that would buy. Leeds went from Peter Risdale to Ken Bates neither of whom had much free capital and had to sell assets inc star players and training ground.

An example was when the media were saying Abramovitch might be willing to sell (media speculation only again) Sir Jim Ratcliffe was reported to be interested in buying and he is richer than Abramovitch.

Regardless of how bad Scotland are, i believe it is still possible to qualify via the nations league thing,..thing is, i've read up on it ,  and i'm still in the dark as to how it works.

 

I do some fairly complex tasks in my day to day job as a rocket scientist, but unfortunately i'm unable to grasp even the basics of the nations league.

Nations league is so complicated it must have been cobbled together by five pissed blokes in separate pubs whose ramblings were just added together and launched.

Don't think any club needs the heavy hand of comrade Corbyn and his merry band.

All we really need is for the SFA and EFL to correctly administer the fit and proper rules instead of going weak at the knees every time some chancer with a suitcase full of money comes along to buy a club. Of course some, don't even need a full suitcase as it is filled during and after they have left a club.

You would think that Sturgeon should be praising Rangers fans for eliminating the sectarian songs, rather than making cheap political points. 

I'd never look to or expect anything from an enemy, and have no doubt the SNP will never speak good of Gers fans. 

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” 

I've always wanted to use that quote from Sun Tzu

One longer term issue may be the injury to Jack who was again immense tonight and we missed him when he went off. 

 

That made a bad night even worse. Should mean an opportunity for King though. 

Yes the injury we could have done without, but hopefully it will be short term. 

Not great tonight by any means but all's not lost. 

It's an absolute shame ?

Just heard Bas Nijenhuis a Dutch referee and VAR referee say: If the ball hits a defender's arm and it is not intentional and his arm is in a natural position then it is no penalty and play should be waved on. With an attacker if it hits his arm it is a foul no matter whether it is intentional or where his arms are placed. That is because an attacker should not get an advantage or scoring chance off his arm.

This resulted in a penalty in the Chelsea v Valencia game where the ball struck a defender whose arm was by his side but his palm was out and was hit. The ref gave no penalty at first then looked at the VAR screen then gave the penalty. I have to agree that some refs are interpreting the rules differently. Ultimately it didn't matter, as the player who took said penalty couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo anyway.
