I do.

Rangers.

Same club that was founded in 1872.

But you knew that anyway.

[maxxi]

The same Rangers that Mike Ashley is trying to up his stake in. Looking forward to that future SCSB?

That's the one.

And no, not at all.

He's in it for one thing and that's not the benefit of the football club.

[Otta]

Yeah I cringed when I saw his name involved, he's the lady bloke you want buying your team.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I'm guessing that "last bloke" is what you meant to type - though your version is funnier.

[Jah Lush]

Mike Ashley is a lady boy? Who knew?

[Mick Mac]

I don't know if this is good or bad really.....

Celtic and Arsenal hold top positions in a new football financial strength league of 44 European clubs devised by S&P Capital IQ. While Celtic top the league, Glasgow rivals Rangers are bottom and are held up as an example of how things can go wrong on and off the pitch.

Apart from Celtic, only Ajax get ahead of Arsenal in the table based on a range of debt and financial performance indicators, but the North London side are ahead of Bayern Munich and Manchester United (ranked fourth). Not surprisingly, S&P Capital IQ suggest that Arsenal's financial stability may be related to its unwillingness to 'buy' success by spending heavily on transfers

Haha, for once my phone improves things.

[Mick Mac]

Well, England won 5-0.Bloody hell, right back on form.

[Jah Lush]

Yeah, must have been a bit like watching Celtic playing Alloa or Cowdenbeath or Hamilton Academicals. Oh, hang on, wait a minute. Maybe not.

[Mick Mac]

Oh Jan, stop that now.

[Jah Lush]

Sorry Maureen.

Of course it is, he's still coming out with some pearlers about the rags, must have a book to sell, don't you think and doubtless that will be crammed with lies.

[red devil]

No, just the lies that you write to suit your own hate filled, bile spewing agenda.

I see you're winning friends on another thread, keep up the good work... :)

[Otta]

This is a bit ironic though to be fair.

10/10.

At least you've linked to something that was actually said by RK, not some made up mumbo jumbo...

[Otta]

I was a bit surprised how young he is too.

[????]

San marion a sad joke in International Football. It's time they put the real minnows in a pre-tournamnet pool then winner get's to the quailfiers proper

Ouch.

[Otta]

Ouch indeed. Nicely played though, perfect response.

[El Pibe]

Blimey, quietly scathing. Also rather undermine's Keane's point about AF criticising players in his book!!

RK left Utd because he criticised players, remember the MUTV rant? I don't think there's a Utd fan who doesn't think he's being hypocritical on this point. Quietly scathing, but nonetheless slagging someone off for being slagged off. Two wrongs and all that. Somehow I don't think RK will lose any sleep about comments from a journeyman footballer no one has heard off...

[El Pibe]

"I don't think there's a Utd fan who doesn't think he's being hypocritical on this point. "

Just to clarify, you *do* all think he's being a hypocrite, yes?
