Oh my aching sides you really are hilarious. Do your stuff about needing 45 points to stay up again, that is solid gold comedy trolling it really is.

Didn't see the game but 5live commentators very complimentary. We sounded great. Well done Koeman and the team. Micky Mouse cup my bottom. COME ON!!

The word you are looking for is Meltdown.

You got nothing better to do but dig up dead threads from three days ago?

I'd say the complete opposite. Our good start means we already have points to spare in the League so we have permission to go for it in the cups.

Arsene could say the same thing about Arsenal (Cesc, RVP, etc) with the added bonus of it being true.

Great to hear. Effing go for it tomorrow. If we can get to the transfer window in the semi finals of the League Cup then it might give us a wee edge against potential suitors. Ronald Koeman. On the fast track to legendary status.

Chelsea to lose: surely we want to be top, only if it is for a week, just for the LOLZ.

Would depend when he left and how he left, wouldn't it.

Pap's original was better. Less is more, that one is a bit over-worked. Amusing in places.

Neither have Man United.

The Wiganisation of Everton is well and truly underway. 13 goals conceded already.

A rather satisfying weekend all in all, then.

Getting the ball doesn't then mean you can do whatever follow through you like without fear of punishment.

What's your belated response to this question, Noodles?

I think it's too early for them to feel f****ed over yet - in fairness it is a bunch of people promising stuff they now need to unpick and work through. More panic induced incompetence rather than sinister. Could be a very interesting 18 months to the election now, and Milliband of all the leaders is in serious trouble.

Well, not really. I think basic, comfortable apathy-cum-contentment has seen off the streets-paved-with-social-democracy wonderland that Salmond and co tried to promise. Not much more sinister than that. That sentiment is a killer and a centre right party's most effective weapon. Salmond described the No voters as "deferred Yeses" but i would have described Salmond if Yes had won as a deferred Nick Clegg - all exciting TV debate hope and excitement turned to the drudgery of sh it reality and delusion over time. Scotland was not about to become the Sweden in kilts that those sixteen year olds thought. And now, at least for another 20 years or so, Scotland can continue to have someone to blame.

Salmond is deluded - the only late surge was for the Yes side, just by not enough. The No vote wasn't turned at the last minute, as all the polls except one or two late-on outliers had No as winning for the entirety of the campaign.

In fairness, with anything good the club has achieved being written off as luck, basically the club could pull people out of bus queues to make the big decisions with broadly the same result.

But what does that even mean? All players/managers "availability" could be linked to luck, so why single out Koeman? I think you are "twisting" an excellent managerial appointment by making it seem like a fluke. Which is "just like you" to do that.

"Who knows" you say but you also say the entire process of appointing our manager was luck, right? Did we pick Koeman's name out of a bran tub? Or some kind of Dart board system?

He was a big fan of Moody/Dowie up top, I believe.

Was Koeman the only manager available for us to select in the whole of world football? I kinda remember one or two other names.

Even if his "availability" was luck, in what way was our ability to get him to become SFC manager "luck"? Was the SFC the only job available to him in the whole of world football? And was Koeman the only manager out of work in world football so we couldn't possibly pick anyone else? As before, how about not whining about things that haven't happened and enjoy what has happened.

Tell you what. Why not enjoy what has happened and actually is happening rather than getting upset about things that maybe might have happened or didn't happen at all. It's fu cking delicious where I'm sitting. Come and enjoy it.
