Perhaps WH fans will get off BFS's back then. He isn't a long ball merchant as everyone takes him to be. Very unfair on him.

Not unfair - he IS. In today's paper he moans about being labelled one - which he denies - then says "Here's a question: if the club against whom you're playing have spent ?100million more than you have but can't cope with your team's tactics who is the guilty party?"

That's a bloody admission. Not just the long-ball it's the "There-are-away-games-against-big-teams-we-can't-win-so-we-may-as-well-not-bother-too-much-and-save-ourselves-for-the-home-games-to-guarantee-survival-but-f*ck-all-else" attitude. I hope he goes.

Charles Green has told Rangers' board he intends to leave his chief executive role "with immediate effect".

Green took up the position last summer after leading a consortium that purchased the assets of the liquidated Rangers Football Club plc.

He is now the subject of an independent investigation, commissioned by the club's board, following allegations of covert dealings with former Rangers owner Craig Whyte.

Green says it's "appropriatew" to leave.

A club spokesman told the London Stock Exchange: "Recent weeks have seen media interest in the circumstances surrounding the period prior to the acquisition of the club by the consortium led by Mr Green.

"Whilst Mr Green strenuously denies any wrongdoing, he has recognised that this negative publicity is a distraction and is detracting from the achievements and reputation of the club.

Have a look at the 2nd set of stats for passes. There isn't much difference between WH and Man U for example apart from the number of short passes.

[maxxi]

Stats schmats they don't prove anything - after all a couple of players can rack up the pass count by meaningless exchanges in harmless areas of the pitch. But stats and 'tables' are what BFS relies on too - "Look at the figures - we're not as long ball as some teams...etc etc\" -

I am not trying to present a reasoned unbiased argument like a Lawro et al - I just don't like the way things are developing. We're not Bolton or Stoke and I would rather be relegated again and rebuild from scratch than use muscle as a substitute for skill. Mad innit?

Isn't what you are really saying is you don't want Andy Carroll?

Highest relegated points total?

[Otta]

Is it seasons going up and down from top division?

[Alan Medic]

More or less but in addition they got relegated the season following promotion each time.

[Alan Medic]

Good news for our local team Dulwich Hamlet. Two homes left and 4 point max required for automatic promotion.

[Otta]

Indeed, but very tight, and they no longer have the cushion of a game in hand.

Fingers crossed!

[Jah Lush]

Great game at the Lane today. Deffo gonna watch MOTD tonight.

[Otta]

Bloidy hell, I missed the Liverpool match today, only to hear that I've missed Suarez at his best and worse.

Think he may have booked his ticket out of Anfield. He's just got something wired wrong.

Still the best individual player in the league tgis season though!

Me too, great games for the 'neutrals'...the Liverpool game was especially tasty :)

[UncleBen]

Filthy dirty cheating robbing scouse scum suarez. The full points for this match should be awarded to Chelsea.
