Yep! The doyen of Scottish blunder keepers. His confidence was shot to pieces after being dropped for the 1990 FA Cup final replay after making a series of blunders in the first match. Was replaced for the replay and his career nosedived thereafter.


Do I get a prize?

And from that point of view, I'm not sure that Man City are the best club for him. He's probably one of the lowest paid in their squad 0f 25 (if not the lowest) and, if he suffers a series of errors, cannot see the egos within the squad being particularly supportive.

SP, I'm not smug, I fully expect Liverpool to finish well below your lot, and even 4th would be nice. However, I do feel like there are better times ahead, if we can stay afloat for the time being, and fingers crossed ownership will be settled before Jan, so we won't lose any more players.


Oh, and hopefully Torres can get back to 100%, and stay there...


Man U won't let leads slip away like that too often, so I enjoyed it whilst I had the chance.

Having watched most of Liverpool's game yesterday they have some improving to do if they are to get into the top 4. On the negative side for Man U, they've dropped 4 points they shouldn't have but on the other hand they were games they lost last season.


Am I right in thinking that the 'top 4' is only important if English teams to well enough in the CL to keep their quota of teams?

Well it's actually the Big 4 but in regard Top 4 yes it would become academic if England were to drop from the 3 countries who get 4 places in CL each season. I think that England has higher co-efficient than Spain or Germany and with the riches in the PL I think it will probably hold onto 4 places for some time yet unless of course Plantini strips them of a place.
The Big 4 applies to Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Utd. The term came about after the introduction of 4 CL places, which these four teams have tended to dominate (from memory I think only Everton and Spurs have broken this stranglehold). The term has nothing to do with 'exposure and following'. I would argue that within the Big 4 there is a Big 2 of Chelsea and Utd, since they have dominated the actual winning of the PL in the last 6 seasons, with the 3rd and fourth placed teams some distance away. With the emergence of Spurs and Citeh, and the demise of Liverpool, the original Big 4 is probably already defunkt...

Sorry to hear that Ratty (I mean the redundancy btw).


Had a discussion about the definition of a "big" club the other day. In my opinion, there are only 2 big clubs in England and it's quite obvious who they are. Think we decided that success (domestically and in Europe) and a global following are the two main factors.

As i say suprisingly hard to beat.


What champions league newcomer said 4-0. How insulting.


Great performance by rangers. They looked pretty comfortable to me. Weir and papac were superb in defence. Edu excellent in midfield.

Didn't see the game last night, but reports say Utd lacked creativity, but fair play to Rangers, they came with a game plan and it worked.

Surprised at amount of changes Fergie made, the team played very well against the Toffees and I can't understand why he rests players like Berba who has finally hit a bit of form.

Good result for Spurs away in Bremen, but 'arry must be annoyed to have let a two goal lead let slip...it's not that Utd would ever do something like that :-S

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
