I thought it was just me, tutting and muttering under my breath, like the old man I am.

No. No, I won't be calling it that

Until he makes "United Passions II - This Time It's got Oil Money ", no.

Is that a Glasgow Rangers crest on the Union Jack flag behind the goal with "Leeds Loyal" on it? Very England, that

One of my wife's friends spoke about falling out with someone and then "falling back in" with them, months later. It's a useful turn of phrase I'd never heard before, and I like it.

We're also on at 09:15 tomorrow, 2nd leg playoff away v Watford, May 2013. Yeah, that one.

Makes it much easier to continue hating Spurs.

Good win for Labour in the by-election. People will see Reform coming 3rd and think Scotland has the same Reform issues as England, now. I disagree. It needs to be said that the constituency in question includes some of Scotland's staunchest brit nationalist areas - places where they paint the kerbstones red white and blue and smash the green bits of traffic lights, and are unusually fond of flute playing and marching, so probably the best hunting ground for Reform in the whole of Scotland. It's not a normal constituency. The reaction to Farage from the majority up here remains revulsion.

The running fox and the fox and crop have their place and should feature on our kits, if they decide to put any thought into such things, but the current foxface/cinqfoil badge is bloody brilliant. Hope that they have no plans to change it.

A Vegan Buddhist Intellectual who wants to play tippy-takka with substandard players will fit right in with the Rangers fanbase and they will deffo have loads of patience with him when he doesn't sweep all before him. Edit - *this* fanbase

Remember when Rodgers was reduced to playing Wilf and /or Big Dan Amartey as CBs, cos he had fallen out with Soyuncu, and wouldn't play Vesty, cos he realised only after spaffing a fortune on him that he was slower than nail growth and not even that good in the air for a giant? All in front of Ward. Fun times. Insert "Masterclass" meme.

Ward has to know that he is rated as awful by the vast majority of the fans. Unless he has zero footballing and emotional intelligence, he has to have an idea of how awful he's been. I know he made plenty of £££ off us, but it must be quite psychologically damaging. I hope he finds some inner peace and redemption elsewhere.

Glad he hasn't snuffed it I was there. It's true when they say that there was an instant of surreal quiet disbelief when the goal went in, followed a fraction of a second later by utter, utter mayhem.

See, I love Kasper. He's a club legend and a massive part of all our success, and he seems to be a decent bloke, but the above is also true and it hurts a little to remember it.

Brussell Fartin. You are most welcome

I scrolled and saw this and thought "FFS,what's my algorithm chucking up NOW?"

After *this* season, we'll take our consolations anywhere we can

That game was the season in microcosm. No attacking threat, a weak midfield and the opponents just wait for a gift or two. Without Stolarcyk it would have been a thrashing. Boo.

Pre-match?

Soumaré signs off in Bouba-style.

Beautiful touches from Monga, then Ayew does a rugby conversion.

It was a largely tough watch, that first half, watching Bournemouth dominate us in possession and shots and us having to rely on Stol to save us a few times. JJ is having a good game, which is nice for him (that's ruined it for him, then ) Here we go, 45 more minutes of this shir seadon to go
