I don't think that the starting 11 will be as strong as people hope. We will want to save some of our better players to start on Tuesday.

The rumours going around is that Muscat be appointed in November with Neil McCann as his #2 who will take charge whilst KM finishes the season in China.

Maldini being #63 is ridiculous. Arguably the best LB AND CB on the list. He's top 5 on there easily but attackers are always prioritised.

When did they start? We haven't qualified for a world cup in almost 30 years... We've snuck in the back door of the last couple of euros and been arguably the worst team in the competition. So... where are these supposed "good times?"

Aye. Going into tonight, I was hoping for a draw in the Den/Gre game but we really cant bank on a any points in the final 2 so I will take a play off spot now.

I can't actually believe we've come away with 6 points from those 2 games. We were shockingly bad and we can't just gloss over it because we got the wins.

As I understand it, if he comes back to the UK to work before the end of the tax year, he has to pay taxes on the £14m that he earned in Saudi over the last year. Hardly surprising he isn't willing to do that.

I was furious when Clarke took Gannon-Doak off but it did actually change the game.

Will take it all day.

Is Gerards even able too? Is his tax situation over now? Rohl would be a tempting pick but I think your right. It might be a bit too big of a job at this stage in hos career. I think Muscat would be a smart shout.

Protests where happening around the bus regardless of him being on it or not.

Not agreeing with you doesn't mean that I am offended. It comes from the fact that I don't understand the sympathy. He knew what he was walking in to. He was financially rewarded for his own failures and in truth, it wasn't really that "brutal". Fan protests and sweary words directed towards him is part of his job. Particularly when you are so bad at it.

Dyche then?

What's to feel bad about? Him losing his job is NOT equal to you or i losing ours. In the last year he has banked MILLIONS of pounds in being sacked alone. That isn't to mention the tens of thousands he has earned whilst being hopeless at his job. This isn't a "hate the rich" type of deal. This is a "unlike the average person, him losing his job will not affect his ability to care for his family or pay the bills" kinda deal and at the end of the day, it won't be too long before he is back in a job, earning more than enough to live comfortably. So, what's to feel bad about?

It's not an option. It is an obligation and good riddance. He's a good player with the potential to be a VERY good player but he (along with the rest of the team) didn't do enough in the PL, which saw us relegated. Where he didn't want to play and get us back. I don't want players like that in the team.

Also.... is he the illegitimate love-child of Steven Pressley?

Cartwright scores against rangers.

I can't disagree more. I would argue that his physical strength is one of his top qualities and certainly what sets him apart from pretty much anyone his age.

Daka reminds me of air conditioning in Scotland. Runs well but utterly pointless.

Is it going to work? No idea but he's changing it up and trying different approaches. Thats all we can ask for at this stage.

Well... yes. Marti's tactics very much seem to be set up to try and create one on one opportunities for the wingers. Wingers should want these situations but when they do happen, it's up to them to win that contest and beat their man without any support. If our FB pushes up alongside him or overlaps, it's no longer 1-1 as he drags opposition players with him and the area gets crowded. That's why the support usually comes from underlapping runs through the middle which our FBs have been doing. It maintains the space for our wingers to beat their man. The problem is, this all falls apart if the winger isn't beating his man but that isn't on Marti. That is on the winger.

No. Alves means "plain by a cliff" in Gaelic and that's what the village is called in Moray where the name originated.

Then we aren't mispronouncing it at all then because we say it like Will says it. Al-vez.

The Scottish origin of the name isn't pronounced how it's written at all though. English folk always mispronounce it, even those who have it. There are two origins of the name, Portuguese and Scottish and neither rhymes with valves.
