I'm not so sure Man Utd really have the calibre of players to implement RussBall now. He would have to be backed to get rid of the likes of Fernandes, and bring in Smallbone.

Isn't nonunonunonunonuno the sound of a police siren?

Fortunately, JWP insisted on a "No Nuno" clause in his Saints contract, to stop him being dumped by Nuno for a third time.

My brain cell did... Trust in Russ. Catchy, if delusional. But then... Truss 'n Russ. A new politics and sport podcast that has people drilling out their ears. You are responsible for that tragedy, Miltonaggro.

3 points off the play offs. 10 points out of 12. "Poised" would be the word.

Proof that it will all end in tears.

Reminded me of the articles saying they had signed 50 strikers in the Gold/Sullivan era, many with a rubbish return. Here's one version https://www.claretandhugh.info/52-strikers/

The hacks think they are in La Liga and that the Daily Record is Marca. They are oblivious to the shortbread tin surrounding everything they report on.

Chris Sutton on Celtic:- "They're deficient in every area of the team. This current team are miles off it. Where is the plan, what's the strategy?" The beeb article goes on:- "They are still four points clear, but some other stats paint a grim picture for Celtic. Twenty-four shots to Falkirk's six; nine on target compared to Falkirk's two (their two goals); more than double the possession and almost three times as many touches in the opposition box. Celtic had 14 corners, Falkirk had none." So, they are top of the league, absolutely hammered Falkirk in the final third, but just couldn't finish. Sutton, in a job for being a bit grumpy, like Hansen and Shearer, but not for much else. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cmvg7d1xl8epo There's a video clip, in the article above, where Martin O'Neil, with incredible patience, explains to the village idiot masquerading as a hack about squad rotation. He bats away the hack's other questions, and chooses not to humiliate him asking what he means by "patterns of play." After all the hyperbole in that article and elsewhere, former manager Ian McColl said "It's not a vintage Celtic." And that would be fair. The club are in a tin pot league, fail on a regular basis in Europe and have found that a fanbase alone doesn't amount to much in the world of TV and Champions League revenues. They, and Rangers have been slipping away for a long time. Every year they have to be very astute in the transfer market. Their resources are finite, and this season funds were held back because they were paying off instances of child abuse by their, very connected to the club, boy's club.

Mookie is a role model for the rest of us in The Land That Time Forgot.

I hope he doesn't injure himself doing it. 🙂
