Looks like Rangers are finished. Even more.

HMRC tell them to nick off

Liquidation now seems inevitable.


No messing about from Hector.

I'm not bothered about England or how their results go, I lost all faith in the national side a long time ago, what I can't stand is people saying "we played well" when England didn't actually 'play'. I get defending, I get surrendering possession, but, as I said with the Italians, to not go out and play is defeatist and shows a lack of faith in one's tactics and ability to coach a side. You can be hard to beat but also attack and play with some form of intent, England never had that intent and they won't win anything meaningful playing for a clean sheet. You seem to have faith that Roy will change this but this is how Roy coaches, when he was Liverpool coach, Stoke City, for the first time since promotion, never had 50% possession or more against an opposing side. I think they ended up with something like 63% against Roy's side, and we all know how negative Stoke are. Roy clearly doesn't have faith in possession, which I don't mind, but to have no faith in attacking and counter-attacking with intent, well, that's just embarrassing.


I was actually surprised how threatening England looked in the first half with Young/Welbeck/Oxlade-Chamberlain linking up well. Did seem to go into ultra defensive mode in the second half though.

Have the officials been instructed to play a standard 1 min of added time at end of the first half? Presumably the UEFA VIP's need their prawn sannies.

United have confirmed the signing of England under-18 midfielder Nick Powell on a 4-year contract, for an undisclosed fee.
Sir Alex Ferguson, “We have scouted Nick for months now. He is an exceptional talent and has been schooled well at Crewe.”


Lovely scenes in Warsaw.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

I cannot believe Roddy still continues to get bites. He certainly puts on a good act. Well I assume it is an act because nobody could really be so thick and clueless without trying can they?


The problem for Roddy (and many other Liverpool fans) is that they are in the delicate position where Hodgson can make them, and their opinions, look very silly.

They've already been made to look stupid by the blind faith they showed in the useless Dalglish, so if a man who they turned on, because he dared to be almost un-Liverpool like when he was in the job, gets one or two half decent results and suddenly gets a bit of praise from the media, then their reaction is always going to be the typical Liverpool one, which is lashing out, followed by a dose of self pity, mainly about how Hodgson is to blame for the state they are in (conveniently forgetting how Benitez put them there in the first place, and how Dalglish has actually made them even worse).

I don't think anybody thinks Hodgson is a particularly great manager, but the way Liverpool fans go on, you would think he is a total incompetent, with little knowledge of the game.

The truth is, despite Roddy wanting us to suddenly become Real Madrid or Barcalona and to play flowing football, we simply aren't good enough and we have a stark choice - Either try to play attacking football (and fail miserably) or get used to the fact that, for the moment, stealing results by stifling more talented teams is our only option.

What a player Dzagoev looks. Expect a few big clubs will be sniffing around him. Has everything.
