Blimey has this turned into the Fantasy Football thread?


Carroll would be perfect and would benefit from an improved midfield but I think this is Gold doing a Tottenham of old (mentioning any available/nearly-available high-profile player to appease the fans and make it look as though he's really trying to buy the best) - the loan to Milan looks favourite if he DOES go.


It would be great to see Cole come home but I think Rodgers will like him and want to keep him.


Of course if BFS walked and Harry took over instead of going to Russia or Forest, Cole would probably come too and WH would be able to attract a slightly better class of transferee (yep, this really is fantasy football).

From BBC website:


SFL VOTE TO PUT RANGERS INTO DIVISION THREE

SFL clubs vote in favour of newco Rangers playing in Division Three


That should be 4 in a row for Celtic by the time Rangers are back in the SPL. Just 6 more to go after that for the big 10 !


Where's that smiley face ? :)


Actually tbh - I don't anticipate much fun for the 3 years Rangers are out of the SPL as I love the Old Firm games. Will be of general interest to watch their progress through the divisions. Humbling.

RANGERS STATEMENT ON CLUB WEBSITE

"Rangers' future remains uncertain after the Scottish Football League clubs voted against the Light Blues playing in the First Division next season.



"It is now understood that on the back of a briefing SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster and SFA counterpart Stewart Regan gave to clubs last week that the SPL will introduce a plan for SPL 2 - which would include Rangers - and invite existing Division One members to join."

I am really surprised by this whole Andy Carroll thing. Surely you at least have a training session with your player before offloading him! Not impressed with Rogers over this. Hope it is not a sign of things to come!


Now, if he were to offload Downing, I could understand that!

Does Rodgers need a training sesh to realise that?

I'm no expert like UDT, but even I could see that Carroll wouldn't stay because he just doesn't fit in with Rodger's style of play. Anyways, I think Borini is a good buy, and if you got Walcott too, along with Suarez, it would form an exciting attacking triumvirate a la Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez...just not as good ;-)

Walcott??? I hadn't heard that as a rumour.


I think someone already said it, but surely having a plan B is no bad thing. Chelsea showed against Barca and England showed that sometimes you can frustrate the passing teams, so if Liverpool are being frustrated bring on Carroll and change things up.


Either that or lose ?15m - ?20m.


Liverpool paying ?35m for Carroll has basically buggered the poor lad right up.

Looks like Rogers is picking his tactics before looking at the strengths of the squad. He has been guilty of this before - trying to establish a new way of playing with players who just weren't capable of playing that way.


Getting rid of Carroll before he's given him a chance just shows Liverpool will be playing his defensive, short passing game next season.

      Niko the Plumber.

      By Natasha77 · Posted

      Niko was recommended to me through a group chat for my road, where everybody raves about him. I soon realised why as he did an amazing job installing an outdoor tap for me. I needed it done quickly but had a hectic schedule, and Niko did everything possible to accommodate this, bringing the parts and working late on a Friday, having worked out the best solution for my maze of pipes. The tap looks great and works amazingly with good pressure. He made minimal mess and cleaned everything up, and charged me a very competitive price. On top of that he is delightful to chat to and willing to give advice on other matters. He’s a lovely man and will be my go-to for any issues in the future! Recommend to anybody in the Dulwich/ Peckham/Camberwell area!!

      We've used Aria a couple of times - this time a tap that was causing water hammer elsewhere in the house, he replaced it and checked all was well. He was prompt, quick in his work, and charged what he said he would. Will use him again.

      Hi I found a phone on the pavement near the bus stop half way up lordship lane opposite M&S and have handed into one of the estate agents there (KFH). Please call in there if you have lost it.
