Balotelli going to Spurs at 25/1 must be worth a punt. Spurs will be in the market for a striker if Soldado moves back to Spain, and Milan seem keen to move Balotelli on...

Opening fixture, Rangers 1 Hearts 2


It's going to be the league to watch in Scotland this year.

So Legia have appealed to Celtic to play again on various grounds of honour, fairplay etc. Celtic's response is they are unhappy with those comments and it's a UEFA matter. What's wrong with those comments? If Legia were a bigger European fish I bet UEFA would find a reason to allow them to continue in the competition.


Celtic, do the right thing. It would be a breath of fresh air.

Excerpt from Legia's public letter:


He continued: "Imagine Jock Stein and Billy McNeill deprived of the chance to achieve the biggest triumph in their career by an application form, filled improperly by a club employee acting in good faith.

"Would any true legend of Celtic FC accept the qualification won despite the double defeat suffered on the pitch? I am strongly convinced that their legendary Celtic pride would not allow them to do that."


Well if that doesn't take the biscuit. Who are they to try to put themselves in the mind of Jock Stein.



"How could they then look in the eyes of their humiliated fans?"


F.R.O.

Terrible letter by Legia. By all means appeal vociferously that a minor technicality shouldn't be so harshly punished but this sort of limp PR garbage is laughable. Wonder if they sent it on tear-stained paper?


Charity shield - a lot of leaden feet being slowly dragged back to life on the ManC team.. and that skin-tight beach-volleyball shirt the gooners were wearing?... can't see many fans in the over 35 bracket struggling into a replica one of those without corsets.

Surely it's not up to Celtic - they'd probably be punished

if they made any offer.


FIFA and UEFA can be quite nasty.

It used to mean something, the traditional curtain raiser to the new season, but with clubs now going on long-haul pre-season tours it's lost it's appeal. With nearly 20,000 empty seats yesterday perhaps there's an argument to play it overseas too...

Ozil, Mertesacker, and Walcott not available for us but 3 good goals and great performances from Chambers, Ramsey and Cazorla. Sanogo looked good, so it bodes well. The usual suspects demeaning the result, and like Arsene said if you lose people point and say you bought these players for a lot of money and failed, you win, it's a pre-season friendly ( no matter that previous winners have celebtrated winning it with gusto, yes Yanited included). The empty seats were City allocation seats from what I hear, but what made the victory sweet was sticking it to the little bitch Nasri. If ever a player need some PR advice, he's your man.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
