Apparently it was the same Belgian referee last night who sent RVP off!

I agree with Red Devil, nothing about the league can be ascertained until New Year, that's when the points/GD difference matters. Several years ago we were top of the league on Christmas day, by March we were in a relegation battle !

I know I've been a piss taker but I will never forget our ups and downs and downs and downs !

We may be struggling in CL but it's not that many years ago we got beat by Brentford in the Johnstones Paint Trophy. And before anyone says, yet again, how much we have forked out for success- what choice did we have?

EUFA are changing the rules as of next season, if you aint in the top flight by then, you never will be.

That's more like the old Atila...reel him in

Why do you bother, or are you just taking a leaf out of Fergusons book and choosing to turn your back on uncomfortable truths.

Nature of life for a rag, mate. They believe football was born in 1993, the 37 yes 37 years prior to that when they achieved nothing doesn't count.

Bloody 'ell, a two pronged attack from Dumb and Dumber :)

Why do you bother?...that's exactly the same question I ask myself...banned 3 times but you keep returning for more.

Slowly the veneer of Mr Reasonable is ebbing away, won't be long now before we are in full Atila diatribe mode.

Here's an uncomfortable truth for you...your shiny new trophy cabinet is still empty...

Hang on, so you reckon we won nothing between 1956 and 1993?

Why did it take West Ham 16 years to play 27 european matches? eh ?

Let me explain...

You are saying that you think Citeh will win the PL.

I said you made a similar prediction about Chelski last season and were subsequently proven to be wrong.

I then said that the PL isn't won in November, and quoted L'Arse's collapse last year in February as an example to back up that argument...simple enough for you?

Wind your patronising neck in. Is that simple enough for YOU. The only reason you decided to comment was purely and simply because I've written Man Ure off, and the noisy neighbours will take away your precious. If you can't leave it at that, don't bother. Thats even easier to comprehend I would have thought.

No diatribe from me, better take a long hard look at your postings today, I think you'd win that particular contest hands down.

Cheers praise from a master comedian is always welcome.

[Otta]

City will be pleased with the United result. Hopefully they'll be up for dropping some points tomorrow now!

[StraferJack]

Not that I care or it means anything of course

Celtic move to within 4 points of Rangers with 5 0 win over St Mirren. Seem to be getting in gear now. Next up is Athletico Madrid on Thursday night.

[Alan Medic]

I heard on the radio Mick that some kid beat about 5 players to score a goal. What's the SP on him?

[Mick Mac]

Dylen McGeouch - I know of his name but that's about it Declan. He's supposedly a bit of a wonder kid. Celtic do have a good youth system which is paying dividends.

Wikipedia has already been updated: CelticMcGeouch made his debut on 6 November 2011 when he came on as a late substitute in a 2?1 win over Motherwell.[2] McGeouch scored his first league goal for Celtic in a narrow 5-0 win over St. Mirren, in which he won a tackle and ran the whole length of the pitch before netting the ball inside the 18 yard box

[Alan Medic]

I forgot, you're back on on the sauce today Mick.
