  1. Spurs miss Lennon so much when he isn't in the team. Bale is the only one providing width, and Modric covering the left is not a position that utilises his creativity. Not sure though if my preferred tactic without Lennon is too attacking for away at Everton though, with Sandro and Parker sitting and Rafa, Bale and Modric behind Adebayor.
  2. It's not a hard decision to make though, the ball moves away from the goal to hit the bottom of the bar!
  3. Would love to see Apoel win against Lyon tonight, only 1 down after the away leg, and should have a good crowd behind them! Having defeated Porto and Zenit already at home, they have every chance.
  4. AVB seems to have been sacked by Chelsea !
  5. That jump that the ball took before the lesser Cannavaro tried to clear it was horrific! But good to see AVB getting a bit of a break.
  6. Maybe not replace but both Hearts and Aberdeen have the facilities and the fan base to make a good start at becoming the next big team in Scottish football were Rangers to die. The fans would flock back if Hearts or Aberdeen were challenging for the title/second place. Hearts in 2005/06 when they finished second were very close to having a sell-out week in week out. Given the European money as well, an Edinburgh or a Dundee United or Aberdeen could really flourish in a division that is not dominated by the Glasgow giants. Because they are doing so well at representing us these days? The game in Scotland needs a major shake-up and this event could be the start for the changes. To answer your question, I think you would be surprised how many would pick the St. Johnstone option. Being a Killie fan I would pick St. Johnstone, for various reasons. Firstly, when playing the Old Firm many fans (the non-OF supporting fans) stay away. This is because of the nature and environment that these games are played in. No-one wants to take their kids to games where "Oooh Aah Up The Ra" or "Up To Our Knees in Fenian Blood" or "Bobby Sands" are being sang. No-one wants to physically and verbally abused at their home matches. I have been spat on, I have been punched, kicked, called a "hun", called a "fenian" these things have only happened at Old Firm vs. Killie games. People can talk about atmosphere and all that the Old Firm fans create, but give me a game against Hearts, Hibs, Dundee United or Aberdeen any day of the week over playing the Old Firm. Take away Rangers and most of that 45842 will find other clubs to support, be it another SPL side, their local side, junior side. Get rid of the stupid 10 against 2 voting system which allows the Old Firm to veto any changes that are to be made. Allow the SPL to grow in numbers expanding to either 14 or 16. Allow for games such as Dundee vs. Dundee United, Ayr vs. Kilmarnock, Ross County vs. Inverness, Dunfermline vs. Raith to be played in the top division. Games like these would bring back the fans, without the vile chants that are found at Old Firm games. Call me delusional, but I firmly believe that Scottish football can survive without Rangers.
  7. Jelly and Ice Cream when Rangers die, Jelly and Ice Cream when Rangers die!
  8. Surely the reason Charlie Adam is on the pitch is to take set pieces from just outside the box!
  9. Dumbarton is correct, the other one is now a defunct club in Scotland but one of the biggest before their demise.
  10. A Scottish football question you'll be glad to hear ! Name the only two teams that have won Scotland's Top Division, but have never played in the current Scottish Premier League? For clarification, two teams have won the top division in Scotland, but not played in the SPL (1998 and onwards).
  11. Bayern Munich, Hamburg and Steau Bucharest have also done it .
  12. Fuck you Baddar! Yes metalman I am. Should be a cracker, although hopefully we get an early goal to settle the nerves slightly. Just about to open the first bottle of beer so it could be a long day for me . You heading?
  13. They play Wigan next and then Liverpool (A), Newcastle (home), Arsenal (A), United (home). Very tough run of fixtures with Everton and Chelsea both away after that. Although Spurs do have a better team than all those teams outside of maybe Chelsea, so they should be looking to take at least 9 points from the next five fixtures.
  14. Why is Micah Richards not England's first choice right back? Seems that both Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker are ahead of him for the position, but every time I have seen Richards play this season he has been different class. Nothing against Johnson or Walker but Richards is just a class above them in my eyes.
