You were fine up to then, you deviant 🙂

Oh the sticker book! We were all healthier kids because all the money we got for sweets went on Panini stickers.🙂 We didn't keep them as kids, but I made sure to get a complete album off eBay years ago. 🙂

Our Our forum camaraderie shall count for naught as we face each other across the battlefield! The very ground shall run red with...well red or brown ... depending on which side you've taken. 🙂

Death was the death of our hope of anything but disaster. Metal was the best material to hit our heads off, at the stupidity of those involved. Football was what our opponents were playing.

My 1982 World Cup immersion was the stuff that only someone with an endless, warm, summer holiday, a fresh set of felt tips for tracking player and team info, and friends to play football with between games could have.

"It has to be a player you believe can make an instant impact and is going to make a significant contribution as the season goes on." Surprisingly, not a quote from the guys who gave us Gronbaek and Cornet. It's from Wrexham ahead of using the loan market.

For those who couldn't care less about such things, as long as it's couldn't...

"It shall never catch on," I said in my FO report, after watching Rimet hand over a trophy in Montevideo.

I'm not sure. I hope I don't start obsessing about the answer. 🙂 Rangers's new owners have not unveiled a warchest for purchases. There may be a bit more than they've said, and they are coyly trying to keep prices sane. However, not only do they need an expensive overhaul, but their thoughts are never far from their neighbours. Celtic have had a decent run with recruitment. Rangers tried to get Ross Wilson to help replicate it, and it didn't work. Now Celtic can shop in a slightly better store, which has it's own challenges. Rangers are playing catch up again, still needing hits from nearly everyone they bring in. Downes would appear to well out of their range, both in fee and wages, no matter how much they get on. Smallbone is a more realistic option, as he worked very well under Russ, but one that would still make a dent in their resources.

Brand Martin will be forever on point, as the blue half of Glasgow goes nuts around him. It's his pathway to his next job, and has worked well for him so far.

I was impressed with the writer of that. I thought the hyperventilation was sure to make him pass out after a couple of paragraphs. But they kept going to describe the sky falling down. 🙂

Frank's been there since 2016, initially as assistant, so that's good going these days. It will be a test for the club's resilience. The players they were prepared to move on, may now be joined by a crowd of others looking to jump ship. Fortunately, they can dust off the succession plan created by a certain. R. Ankerson... Martin, R; Jones, N; Juric, I... As for Frank, he's joining a club that wants free, attacking football, until they don't and where pining for silverware has to come with champions league football. And the last time they were on the cusp of all that, Levy didn't move the squad on, resulting in the end of Poch. With the managers they burn through, Frank should be available again in a couple of seasons, for a Brentford return.

I imagine there will be break clauses, allowing the club to part ways if... His form matches that of his time with us. His zealotry results in him burning heretics on pyres of broken ping pong tables He takes his squad hostage because they went shopping with their wives He chews his fingers off on live TV He chews other people's fingers off on live TV Switches jobs with Michael Sheen to star in "Pound for Pound:The best there is and other things all about me."

A good week for our failed managers Juric to Atalanta, Martin to Rangers and Nate getting a bumper new contract.

A quick skim indicates the nod back hasn't been linked to.

Not giving him the chance of an early trophy in his third season, against PSG in the Super Cup. Back when he was Celtic manager, and considering how many gems we got from them, I wondered if we'd try and get him as our manager.

Not breaking 90 points? Still Out! 🙂

Better than organising a Bring A Horseshoe Day, to celebrate that about them. That would end badly. 🙂

🙂 Didn't expect to be doing a follow up post... Yes, goalkeepers have...excuse me a moment , Weston... @Whitey Grandad, you can just skip this as it's doing nothing to change your mind... Yes, goalkeepers have scored. Data analysts have missed a trick in focusing on PSxG SOT and GA, instead of goalies shooting attributes. I'd not be totally surprised to find that SR do measure it as part of their Zany Leftfield Purchase Pack. 🙂 The random site I checked xG zero against before posting (I did look believe it or not) gave nothing for xG. I guess they don't consider them shots on target as such, from a goalkick. But did give his assists in xA https://understat.com/player/5603

I remember Lawrie's disappointment, when he got told his new attacking shape had too many players in it. 🙂 Great squad.

All of the players Chelsea keep signing do turn up somewhere don't they? It's not some elaborate trafficking scam to keep Ronaldo in organs, to prolong his playing career?

Ramsdale's xG is 0 for the season. 🙂

At this pace of recruitment, you'll soon be changing the name to Vitesse Valenciennes. 🙂
