On the 29th December 2018, a Ryan Jack deflected shot had given the basket of assets victory over an uncharacteristically flat Celtic side.
The Ibrox klanbase KNEW that they had won the league that day and celebrated accordingly.
The Sevco High Command picked up the vibe from the supporters and were convinced that two quality signings would get them over the line.
Davis and Defoe were brought in on unsustainable wages.
Of course, Sevco ended season 2018-2019 with zero trophies.
Twelve months later it was Parkhead that was to host the same league fixture.
Once more, Sevco prevailed by a single goal margin.
Cue the same embarrassingly mental celebrations.
Yesterday it was time for reality to bite.
Apparently, there is such a thing as an “emergency podcast”.
I found it pleasing Hearts equalizing goal was scored by a chap who very publicly left Sevco in 2012.
Mr Gerrard looked visibly crushed in the post-match presser.
He certainly didn’t hold back in his criticism of his players.
“Eight passengers”?
Ouch!
Throwing your players under the bus is rarely a sign of a manager who in full command of the situation.
Sometimes it works and there is an angry reaction from the dressing room.
Time will tell.
A source who was in the press room at Tynecastle yesterday told me that there were gasps from the assembled hacks as Gerrard ripped into his players.
That is either a high-risk strategy from the Liverpool icon or a sign of a guy buckling under pressure.
After his rant about Leigh Griffiths at Rugby Park I did suggest a period of quiet reflection for Mr Boyd.
It would appear that he has taken this friendly advice on broad.
The reaction of The People in message board land was typically Pavlovian, i.e. spend more money and bring in better players.
This is the last week of the transfer window and so far, Operation Sell Alfredo has been a total failure.
There hasn’t been a single firm offer for Morelos at this stage of the window.
In fairness, the Stenography Corps has given it their obedient all to come up with all manner of fictional interest in the player.
The Barcelona story was my particular favourite.
Moreover, the likely Morelos transfer fee that has been discussed in the Blue Room by the Convict Chairman has little connection to market reality.
Mr Gerrard will be happy that he is not about to lose his main goal threat.
However, the chaps staring at the invoices at Ibrox know that money must come in from somewhere and fast.
The league never lies and, at the moment, it is advantage Celtic, but only just.
Only the hubris of their untitled director of football is preventing the richest club in Scotland from seriously strengthening.

Not seen or heard much of the sevco CONMAN chairman lately . Anyone would think he is keeping a low profile or maybe he has moved on from sevco out the back door without us knowing.
DEFUNCT at 38 years of age has replaced Miller another 38 year old the only difference is DEFUNCT is a good £30 grand + more in wages a week . That looks like a good bit of business on DEFUNCT part but another disaster for the sevco club ,board and their fans . KERCHING .

My Celtic full time Celtic supporting days started when we won the 1965 SCF and ended with the removal of Jock Stein (without whom Celtic would not exist in its present form) in 1978 after the Board had sold our best players(e.g Dalgleish,Hay and Macari ) without any replacements. Celtic won 9IAR then despite Rangers buying star player after star player, SFA prejudice and countless poor referee decisions(R H Davidson’s performance in the 1970 SCF still haunts me to this day).
Should,Celtic win the SPL this year it will be possibly be the greatest success of our history as the SPL fixture list (by accident or design) could prevent 9IAR. Before the split(after 33 games) Celtic have 7 away games to play,5 of these against the current and likelyTop 6 and 4 home games.Rangers,on the other hand have 8 games at home and 4 away,none of which is against any of the Top 6! A 5pt lead may not be enough unless Celtic win at Ibrox.
When the split occurs Celtic should have 5 home games and Rangers should have 5 away games against the Top 6.The SPL will not,of course. allow this and, at the split, I’m sure the SPL will want to ensure a 19/19 split for both clubs. This will mean the SPL will change 2 of Rangers final 5 away games against Celtic,Motherwell,Aberdeen,Livinston and Hibernian to Ibrox meaning,of course, Rangers will have played these 2 teams 3 times at home this season. Celtic will,on the other hand. will have to play 2 of these teams away for a third time.There is no guarantee a 3rd visit to Ibrox will be avoided!!
Of most significance,however, is that,thanks to the SPL fixture compiler, to the end of the season Rangers will play 10 games at home( where they have only lost to Celtic) and 7 away games with only their last 2 against Top 6 opposition! In comparison Celtic have 7 games at home and 9 away,7 of which will be against Top 6 opposition.
With Morelos staying, and despite the Hearts reverse surely Rangers are in a good position taking into account their favourable
fixture list.I know the split fixtures have caused problems in the recent past but these were unimportant as Celtic usually had a clear lead before the split.If the teams are close then this years split will be,at the very least,controversial.
Hope I’m wrong but signing 2 unknown players from 2 teams I’ve never heard of is a typical response from a Celtic Board to poor recent performances and the distinct possibility of not achieving 9IAR.
This is a point I’ve been making for months. After the split both teams have three home games and two away games to play. As the top six stands just now, and personally I don’t think it will change, Celtic will have played every team other than Sevco away twice. Meaning that our two away games are going to be our THIRD game away against those teams.
Sevco are in the exact opposite situation. ALL THREE of their home games will be against teams they have already played TWICE at home.
This is grossly unfair.
Got that wrong. Should have read every team including Sevco.
Lol wee Coco at ibrox noise blowing a fuse tonight because of a number of players out injured and some dross being kicked out the door but no players coming in . He wants to know why there is no signings the fact is Coco your team has no CASH . Now don’t be surprised if wee Coco starts shouting for statements from club18to30 opps sorry club 1872 . Ah it’s good to know the circus has not left town . Any points dropped from sevco against Ross County and Slippy G will be getting his P45 by the end if the week . I suppose they could always do a swap deal M&M for Salah and DEFUNCT for Aguero.
Mr.Lawwell will be so grateful to the Hertz for their beating of Sevco.
Not, I hasten to add, just because of the result…but because it deflected away from the potential bombshell regarding Res. 12.
If what I’m reading is correct, regarding the e-mail being circulated on the 5WA, and Mr.Lawwell’s statement at the AGM, then the excrement could be about to hit the fan.
You’ll notice I’m hedging my bets about the accuracy of the e-mail…as a certain Barcabhoy is calling it fake news.
It will be interesting to see what Auldheid has to say about that.
If I had to bet on the outcome…then my money would be on the contents of the e-mail being accurate…and if that’s the case…Mr. Lawwell has some serious explaining to do.
Good luck to the Res.12 guys…you deserve better.
Oh aye, one wee detail. I heard a bit of the BBC Scotland sports program last night and someone mentioned that other than Davis and McGregor in their previous time at the club no one has played in a side that’s gone the distance and won a championship.
I don’t think anyone pointed out that neither has the manager. When his best opportunity presented itself both he and his team slipped.
Everyone plays 19 home and 19 away games.
This has been a major flaw in the system since the introduction of the split. On the first occasion it happened Dundee had to play Celtic three times away.
Since then we’ve been on the receiving end a couple of times. Most notably on the infamous Helicopter Sunday. In fact taking into account the seasons either side of that, neither of which Motherwell made the top six, Celtic only played them at home three times in TEN league meetings.
This season has looked from the start as though it was meant to happen like this. We will also have played on the plastic pitches at Hamilton and Livingston TWICE each before the split. Sevco once each.
The above comment should have been tagged on to the end of my 11:48 comment to give it context.
A distinct lack of stories in the SMM this week of £billion bids from the European superpower clubs for the world’s greatest superstar striker, Senor More-or-less.
Could it be that the penny is starting to drop on how highly he is actually rated? That NO ONE is actually prepared to take the double chance of spending ANY MONEY on him is maybe getting through to them.
I use the phrase DOUBLE CHANCE deliberately. Because that is what it is in reality. He has scored for fun in Scotland, against mostly smaller clubs.
Could he make the step up and do it on a bigger stage. I suspect to an extent he probably could although I doubt that he would be anywhere near as prolific. That is the first chance a club would be taking.
The second would involve a much greater leap of faith. Could he stay on the park long enough to score the number of goals a new club would expect. His disciplinary record in Scotland is awful. This is while performing for a club where the players are pretty much treated by match officials as kindly as one would treat an endagered species. Moving up a level would involve him coming up against fitter, mostly smarter and faster and certainly more technically gifted defenders than he regularly faces at present. We all know that one of the things that lights wee Alfie’s touch paper is not getting his own way. See where I’m going here? And these guys would very quickly work out which buttons to push to set that touch paper on fire.
Endangered species!!! Typo! Big twisted arthritic thumbs and wee tiny keyboards. Bad mix.
This offering has seemed to stir up quite a debate on just exactly how good Celtic are with statistics thrown around like chocolate grenades. I think it comes down to one thing and that is what do you want to watch on the park?. I remember having to switch the game off when Deila was in charge as it became unbearable. Rodgers started well but descended into that nonsense with the defence and the midfield “stealing the ball” for most of the game. I am not sure why Neil cannot go back to the style he had when he arrived and we started to beat teams 4 or 5 nil. I think the reason they changed was to do with the pressure to win the treble and a win at all costs attitude took over. The treble means nothing to me and I am sure to a lot of others, if the football is dire. For example, I would have happily given up the League Cup to Aberdeen or Hibs if we could have beaten Sevco 8 nil as I don’t think King would have recovered from that. Those few games when we were 5 up we seemed to pull back for some reason.
It may be an age thing as I grew up in an age of the Lions, Baxter, Law, Willie Henderson, Cruyff, Pele, Maradona and Larsson to name a few.
What do they teach at the training ground? Surely the likes of Micky Johnson could learn Cruyff’s turn, Law’s positioning sense and balance. (even if it meant ballet training) Pele’s back-heeling etc. Crerand’s long range passing.
All they seem to do is hit the ball straight at the keeper when on one on one.
Don’t they ever watch these guys for ideas?
If you were “growing up” all the way from the Lions to Larsson you must be some fuckin size!!!
I wonder if I can add that I think Scott Brown is an extremely skillful player. I have seen him walk the ball round 3 attackers and he has a great passing ability. Only yesterday he hit a 30 yd curving ball to Mickey Johnson. It was worthy of any of the greats. He just doesn’t seem to do it on a regular basis for which I blame the manager. He should know what is expected of him as he is clearly capable of raising his game.
Sorry pal. I’ve clearly being watching the hoops AT LEAST as long as you, and if you’re just realising how well Brown can split a defence every bit as well as he can protect one, you really haven’t been paying attention for the last thirteen years. He’s done it at least once in probably every game he’s played since the first time he pulled on the jumper. Even in games when we’ve been under so much pressure he’s barely crossed the halfway line.
What troubles me more is that if Broony has a stinker, which EVERY PLAYER has occasionally, the whole team struggle. At his age we should not have to rely on him to that extent. I have no idea where his eventual replacement will come from but we need to find him quickly. It’s simply not reasonable to expect one player to carry such a burden.
Ok I’ll bite. I am just saying I wonder if he realises how good he is. You say he has done it once in every game and that is dammed by faint praise.His first reaction ,certainly under Rodgers, was to hit the ball to the neaerst player whether sideways or back. All I am saying is he should always be looking to make that killer pass he has in his armoury although it depends on the forwards running off the ball and into space, a failing which is Celtics biggest problem. Ajer is another whose forward runs usually come to nought for lack of choice of a good final ball for the same reason.
Your earlier point was funny but I just included Larsson because I believe he is one of the few “modern” players who belongs in that company.
HA! My name in lights there from the twitter screen grab! Still not heard the ’emergency podcast’ – but i’m sure it was well measured and informative!
On a side note, sometimes the universe just bowls one underarm to you. I live in Newcastle and was getting the metro to work yesterday morning. Got to the station at about 7am, just me and one other person.
Union jack gloves. Rangers scarf.
So a quick blast of ‘Hearts, Hearts, glorious hearts’, just loud enough for him to hear 😉
You ragin?
Sorry to have to disagree with you Phil but you are way off the ball Re the money situation at ibrox. I will put it down to memory loss on your behalf. I don’t listen to Clyde or BBC Scotland football phone ins but I did read on twitter that Alex Rae said on one of them that there was substantial investment on it’s way to ibrox in January. I’m sure you even wrote about it yourself. It must have slipped your mind… I’m sure some one will no doubt remind him of this when indeed it happens in the next day or two.
The next thing the Celtic supporter should get stuck into the Celtic board about is the Glasgow derbies played at paradise. Sevco have a deal where they have sold all the image rights to all of their games. Celtic on the other hand obtained the rights for home games only to be shown live on CelticTV….
NOW wouldn’t it be awful if Celtic decided that they were only going to show the Glasgow derby on CelticTV on home games! 😝
Think of the mayhem it would cause 😀
For everyone that doesn’t have a Celtic season ticket I’m sure they wouldn’t mind paying for CelticTV for either a one off game or a yearly subscription.
Should the bold Dave that’s the criminal chairman not have departed the scene of the crime by now . I’m sure we got told he would be Joe The Toff before we got half way through January it’s almost the end of the month and he is still hanging about like a bad smell .

Scud….Dave is waiting on the massive sale of Freddo… then he’s filling his pockets even more wae the gullibles dosh. At the end of the transfer window I’m sure he’ll head out of that Land Fill Site In Govan.
Oh dear as I posted earlier about the comedy gold from the bears pit they have an article / post about hatred towards their players and it’s a belter . From yesterday’s game they are complaining about the hatred in the Hearts supporters faces and the verbal abuse dished out to their players at every opportunity as well as it only being a matter of time before objects are thrown at their player’s. They even have the cheek to say you wont see or hear any of this at the sevco stadium maybe just a wee bit of friendly verbal banter but nothing to the extremes they get at every other ground they visit . Somebody has been wearing one of those funny hats again , it’s the only explanation. So the pitch invasion by their fans at Hampden when Hibs gubbed in the final and they kicked the you know what out of the Hibs fans on the pitch never happened. Or the coin one of their fans had thrown at split the refs assistants head open at the Livi game . Or the buckfsst bottles and golf balls thrown at Celtic players at the sevco stadium none of the above has never happened if you read this guys post . Oh dear .
How on earth could this team of misfits play us off the park twice in December? Who else thinks it’ll back to “ok lads, sit back, relax and watch the good times roll” again from Complacent Lennon after this gift from the Huns?
How is Lennon complacent my man?… you are contradicting yourself by then saying let the good times roll. Yeh we didn’t play well against THEM, we won the cup. Lennon got us the treble last season. Through in Eurpoe what else you want.
I don’t subscribe to Sky, and was only able to access the highlights on BBC. From what I saw, on highlights, the opposition could have scored 3/4. with a bit of luck. Celtic defence awful.
Aye. But if you only watch the BBC you only see what they want to show you. If you watch the highlights of the game at Tynecastle The only three times Hearts crossed the halfway line was to score two goals and have one cleared off the line. The latter was only shown so they could try to convince us Goldson CAN defend……sometimes.
Charger…I agree with your Tynecastle observation…The BBC’s highlight package was shocking ….Hertz wuz robbed.
And to think…Sevco has banned the BBC…and yet they still get “preferential treatment”..Hunbelievable.
I also have to say ‘though…Barabas was spot on with his observations… Imo.
Our defence was a shambles at times…and County passed up 3 or 4 very good chances.
The 3-0 score-line flattered us…
Again…Imo.
Hail hail
Aw wee shug and and his pal Quark from Deep Space 9 trying their best to talk up sevco . Now when someone has called in and called them out on previous statements about sevco winning the league and them both backing sevco after December game they hit back with 16 games and 48 points to play for . Oh I do believe the panic button is getting pressed in the studio with the 2 pronged attack on the caller .
Absolutely tremendous result and it makes me so happy that THE PEOPLE 🐵 have started spewing… They need to realise that they are Turkish Delight and that the wheels have never went back on that wagon that rolled down that long hill in 2012. Onto 9 in a row. Can’t wait. 🍀
Oh dear wee shug on radio snyde is wearing one of those beanie hats aka a tea-cosy as he still shoved it out there sevco have the advantage even though they trail Celtic by 5 points .The presenter pointed out to him through a text or Twitter message that surely Celtic have the advantage if they have a 5 point lead to which Keevins replied yes sevco win the game in hand it’s down to 2 points . So it will come down to the 2 games one at ibrox one at parkhead wee shug still thinks sevco have advantage. Oh dear those hats have a lot to answer for . Where is Magdelena and Griffs15weans plenty of hot air from them last week . Now sevco are defeated and it looks like they are back on their sponsored silence again .
I’m right here ya muppet trying to ignore your pish so as not to get involved with you again. I’ll take advantage of you calling me out but and say thank you for changing your patter to tea-cosy hat and confirming to all your defenders that you were indeed referencing a Crossroads character previously.
Your patter is pish mate, you talk shite, and the tea cosy chat is probably the worst yet. so away and play with your pal Boru and leave the grown ups out of your comments.
You’re clearly trying to insinuate me and Magdalena are sevconians in your comment there, now I can’t speak for Magdalena obviously but I’m very much not…. I just choose not to spout pish unnecessarily and converse with zoomers like you.
You’re a total weapon of a boy and I’d quite happily have no further communication with you from here on, I’ll ignore you’re crap and let everyone else form their own opinions based on your comments alone….. Bah bye now moon man.
Oh dear wee Gruff is in a bad mood and all because he has had a wee nibble . Now as I said about last week’s conversation the guy is a FICTIONAL character from a FICTIONAL TV series that was based around a FICTIONAL hotel. It looks like we have a fictional fan on here from a fictional club playing out of ibrox . Now as for the beanie hats & tea-cosy hats what is wrong in saying someone looking stupid wearing them myself I think your wearing them both at the same time . Now that’s only my opinion which are like arseholes everybody has one . As for my script being patter that’s only your take on it not mine I don’t describe it as patter but it’s good you see like as you keep going on about . At the end of the day Gruff it is Mind Over Matter . I Don’t Mind And You Dont Natter . It’s good to know your back from your sponsored silence after your teams defeat from Sunday .
You truly are a twat lol. If I supported the darkside why would I be on this blog in the first place and why would I only comment on your pish……You sir are a moron of the highest order…….but hey at least you’ve wrapped the Bennys pish on the head at last, Now as much as the tea-cosy patter is probably worse most folk can just laugh at you now and hopefully not get offended by it. I was once asked by someone do you think a moronic weirdo knows they’re a moronic weido, After conversing with you I can confirm to said friend that, No that clearly you don’t 😉
Lovely stuff another bite my friend that’s you that said you will be ignoring me . Now I have not used the B word since last week you are the one still peddling it oh dear . I do hope both those hats keep you warm you never said which is your favourite one you like to wear for when people are laughing at you the beanie or tea-cosy.
Ah wee snottery beak Keevins put on the spot by the presenter on radio snyde there about who has the advantage in the league now . Guess what Celtic have a 5 point lead in the league and still wee broken snib still could not say Celtic are in pole position. Ah wee Shug doing his best not to bite the hand that feeds him the blue pound .
more nasal nonsense from Mr Kevins
Bowery boy claiming they are the best team in Scotland, why then do they need better players? Hearts have broken their title dream and Celtic should be happy we have given them breathing space.
Quite simply Hearts did to Sevco what Sevco did to Celtic. Stopped them playing and spraying passes around, closed them down at the back and took our chances ( something we have severely lacked of late ) Stendel will build a team to be reckoned with, and as it looks, Hearts will stay up and next season should be a belter.
Yesterday’s defeat to the bottom club showed how dependent sevco are on a mercurial mad dug that spends more time flouncing, diving and squabbling than playing football. Defoe had yards of a start whenever he had the ball but on every occasion the defender relieved him of a goal scoring opportunity. Sevco need to keep Morelos and they need to sell him at the same time and they do like to have their cake and eat it over at Circus Circus. The lights need to be kept on and his sale at any price will be paramountcy, and if he goes, Slippy is left with the players that he has just publicly thrown under a bus. My, my what a quandary!
HH
Timcat brilliant post loved the Circus Circus bit in it obviously describing the clowns over at ibrox . But watch out for wee Gruff he takes it to heart about people being disrespectful you may have to choose your words carefully in future when describing characters over at ibrox .
Two articles in the Daily ranger today the first is by this chancer Michael Gannon has put it out there we should do away with the transfer window in January because nothing comes of it lol brilliant. Funny how these shouts always get put out there when we know sevco cant splash the cash . The other was a number of pretend journalists at this so called newspaper picking fault with Kilmarnock manager and which teams need to strengthen before the transfer window shuts this was a dig at Celtic to bring in another winger and something about Hearts improving . But guess what nothing about sevco needing any players like another striker or even any pressure on Gerrard but plenty on the Killie boss . I can see a photo finish between Inter Milan and Barca for claiming the glory on signing M&M aka Madman Morelos.
Celtic are currently 10 points and 9 goals better off than we were at this point last Season.
How many within the massed ranks of the Stenography Battalions have highlighted this?
I’m not one for giving them clicks online so perhaps someone else can put the figure in a reply.
For the benefit of any doubt we are 7 points and 14 goals better off than the Season before last.
Meanwhile the Sevvies are still going for 55 points…
The league stats just prove that all the other teams have gotten worse, and both Celtic and *rangers are simply taking advantage. In my opinion, it signifies nothing about whether Celtic are, or are not, a better team than last year.
The results in Europe would tend to suggest that both Clubs have improved regardless of the other sides.
However that aside Domestically this Season
Motherwell are currently 3rd on 41 pts Aberdeen 4th on 37 pts
Season 2018-19
Rangers were 3rd with 42 pts Aberdeen 4th with 42 pts
Season 2017-18
Rangers were 3rd on 40 pts and Hibernian 4th on 35 pts
So basically, in reality the line being spun about being on top, not on merit but because of the deficiencies of the others, is a pile of pish. The points tallies of the the teams immediately below, ie the teams competing for the final European place, are almost exactly the same as in the previous two seasons. Marginally worse than last season and marginally better than the season before.
Your observation on the European achievements of BOTH teams seems to be of no significance to many to many of those who post comments. Those achievements, by BOTH clubs, particularly those of Celtic, blow any notion of a descent into mediocrity right out of the water.
Talking of water. Maybe I should have said pile of shite. Not sure you can actually pile pish!!!
I find that once Twitter has spoken a great many who comment on Celtic and in particular Neil Lennon tend to believe the common trend rather than look into the facts of the matter?
Without being at our best for the latter part of the first half of the Season we are further ahead in the League having secured more points and scored more s suggests to me that we have scope for further improvement in the second half of the Season whereas 2angers have probably peaked and can only at best sustain the levels already shown.
The result at Tyncastle points to this being a problem for them.
Our results meanwhile are an improved regardless of form.
As Aldous Huxley once said “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored”.
Most Bloggers talk mince for the most part.
See JJ and James Forrest for clarification on that.
Welcome as yesterday’s result was it still looks like the title will hinge on the remaining 2 Glasgow derbies. After our abject performances in both derbies before Christmas how confident can we be there will not be a repeat? Of course if Barcelona came in for Morelos ?
Well done the Hearts, thats 5 points they have taken off the Ibrox club.
Certainly advantage Celtic but we must be much better than Saturday when Ross County created and missed 3 great chances in the first half with our defence all over the place, especially Simunovic.
Copenhagen won’t be so forgiving.
No doubt the MSSM will have two versions of the potential Morelos sale this week.
There will be the ‘everybody has their price’ defence if he goes and if he stays it will be lauded as a triumph for the board and management whilst the money men ponder how they will settle the finance loan and the incoming bill from Sports Direct.
Maybe Kamara will go to Juventus for big money and save the day?
If Kamara was just half as good as the SMM would have us believe he is, he wouldn’t be at Sevco. He’d be with a big club.
He looks flashy and good in a team that are well on top and winning. In a game where the team are struggling and need the midfield to dig in, he is anonymous. He doesn’t want to know.
We all know the old saying. “When the going gets tough, the tough get going!”
Kamara does NOT come into that catagory.
Natural Order resumed in Edinburgh yesterday.
This is just brilliant get over to ibrox noise and the bears pit for some good old comedy gold . Wee Coco at ibrox noise has a players ratings article from yesterday’s defeat . As auld weetabix heed aka Archie McPherson would say whoooofff wee Coco has destroyed his team . Kamara the 30 million quid player a few weeks back is a duffer so is Kent the 7 million quid man that was worth 40 million quid a damp squib as for the manager he actually gave him a zero rating . Ah wee Cico he is the funniest blogger out there . And to think the league was won by them on 29th December as well .
Brilliant photo of the Chuckle brothers sitting on those seats like a right couple of dunces. I’m quite surprised they dont have their beanie hats on aka tea-cosy hats to keep their heads warm with that cold atmosphere going through the stadium yesterday as defeat was taking place . Going on the look on both their faces a think someone must have told them Celtic have just won the league .
Premature jubilation: priceless. A blinking good Sunday! Celtic know how to win trophies. The other mob haven’t developed those skills yet. It’s all back on Celtic’s hands now. As ever Phil, your blog is a most welcome highlight!
Dangerous to write them off, as Ross Wilson might bring in Wanyama Lol 😂
Has anybody else noticed. Wilson signed a whole host of ex Celts for Southampton.
A luxury he won’t be allowed now . They all done pretty well I believe.
When he left there was no hue and cry.
Southampton were in the bottom three of the table. He’s gone, there back up the table again winning, how strange is that?
Will he be able to bring in some big named player to give them a lift before the transfer door shuts?
Who cares we are clear again and have the funds to bury them again this season.
Hopefully some more joy before the window closes. PS Why is the Polish lad still sitting on the bench?
Bring in a big-name player??.. I thought JAN VENNEGOOR OP HESSELLINK had retired his playing career?!! 😂😂😂
Surely, as a responsible bus operator, you ensure that your right passengers get safely ONTO the bus? Looks like, as well as losing the plot, Mr Gerrard is in danger of having his PSV licence rescinded!
As for Alfie – although there are only a few days left of this transfer window, you can be sure that all manner of prestigious clubs will be slapping each other’s face with chequebook. Unfortunately, it looks like a move to Wuhan is off the table at the moment. Sad, really!!
Flu right over my head that one…………..ah’ll get ma coat!!
About Gerrard – there is a big flaw in his managerial abilities which is rearing it’s head again. When Rangers beat Celtic before the winter shut down, he celebrated as if he had won the league. So far Gerrard has won no trophy’s with Rangers. I remember Gerrard (as captain) doing the same with Liverpool. Let’s face it… Gerrard suffers from premature jubilation! 😄
Well well well or should that be hearts hearts glorious hearts???
I’m glad we haven’t had the chance to build that bonfire and stick the Jambos in the middle.
Slippy throwing his players under the bus, again, you know what they say about buses? Waiting on one and three show up.
Well done Stendel you socked it to them.
