I agree. Never see much wildlife out in the countryside, do you?

Lucrative? Half a bottle of Grouse a day and the swearbox removed from SJP? I liked Joe initially but he isn't exactly showing much in terms of actually turning the club around.

Peter Ndlovu is still going

It's one thing doing 'premeditated' tricks like drag-backs, stepovers etc a la Ronaldo, but it's entirely another to so skilfully manipulate the ball faster than others can react like he did. What a goal.

Quashie? Anyone but him FFS..... Nae wonder that lad topped himself off that bridge, he must have heard about it.

Bellamy really is a hateable little cunt.

I like Zoggers, but if he's agitating for a move then he can go IMO.

Aye hes just a goalscorer scores every time of goals free kicks,penaltys, inside the box, volleys, outside the box,headers,overhead kicks, you name it hes scored it But 90% are tap ins inside the box, yes?

he is absolutely, unequivocally THE least talented footballer I've ever seen. No pace, no touch, can't pass, couldn't trap a bag of sand in a phonebox, he offers NOTHING except goals. as contradictory as that may sound it's true. He is easily worse than Shola. He gets away with scoring tap ins etc in Scotland against shite defences and the amount of chances Rangers make makes it easy. I'd like to see how he'd cut it in the Prem.

Probably a meteorite. It still wouldn't have to be 170 foot wide mind Wtf is he talking about? The 3 blades converge at a single point. Surely they'd have found the meteorite?

It's the silly season. I expect a lot more transfer speculation shiite before feb 1st.

Do you know what, you would be very surprised. We're not talking thousands, but I know for a fact catholic Irish Rangers fans exist. I watched Rangers v Celtic in the Cock Tavern in Spittalfields Market in London just after christmas. I did the same when I was down working in May for their game with Fiorentina, but they were much worse for the OF game. Nearly every song was bigoted and vile, even the ones that weren't are utterly pathetic, I was borrrrrn under a union jack, no one cares you fuckin arseholes. The amount of Belfast accents as well, going right through the loyalist songbook, I think there was about three songs alone about Bobby Sands, and with heart and hand and sword and shield we'll guard old Derry's Walls, I bet no more than 1 in 10 could give an accurate account of the history of Derry. I left the place 6 pints later and it firmly hit home what a bunch of total wanks they are, they really are no better than the vile bigots that support their neighbours, probably worse if anything because at least Celtic have the odd one who try to distance themselves from this. Agreed. As a support, Rangers has far more than it's fair share of knuckle-dragging ingrates.

Done. I'm always amazed at clubs home records in Europe. Rarely an away win in the CL especially, unless it's a complete mismatch.

Mido: too fat, too unfit and a cunt of a man. No thanks. Joey to Pompey: It's been fun Joe, but sometimes the baggage isn't worth it. Nedum Onouha: Looked good when I've saw him, but once he's taught the subtle art of Defending: Newcastle style! he'll turn into another bumbling wreck. Oba's moaning: Look Oba, most clubs DON'T have a geriatrician.

If you could name the book I'll gladly try and find it, but I'm looking at the stats in various books right now and since 1970 the average attendances (per decade) at Ibrox have been: 70's: 28,878 80's: 27,934 90's: 42,817 00's: 47,020 For 6 years in the '50's, and 3 in the '60's attendances where over 40k. It's possible your book takes away attendances into account, something I have not done. Other than that, it's wrong.

£8m is nothing like what he is worth. £15m is much closer. Gutted if Shay leaves.

What a name! Did anyone hear the Baker and Kelly podcast section about crazy African footballers names? Guys like Danger Fourpence, Laughter Chilembe etc....

Untruths emerging from SJP! whatever next!

Rangers have had Roman Catholics in the side throughout their history. The part about average attendances is nonsense. Rangers were averaging 40k+ in the '50's. Newcastle's average attendances, the odd spike apart, have been lower than Rangers throughout the clubs histories. Rangers post war attendances have never dipped below 25'000 (unless during ground reconstruction) whereas Newcastles has been to almost 15'000 at times. Rangers record attendance os 119'000, (twice at Ibrox) Newcastles is 68'000-odd. The part about quality of opposition is indisputable, but it is a testament to the draw of both OF clubs (possibly as a result of the Scottish and Irish diasporas) that they outmatch most other clubs in terms of support base in the English speaking world. By support I mean regualr viewers, members of supporters clubs etc, not yanks in replica kits. I apologise for my part in turning this into a mini-Rangers board. I came here to discuss Newcastle as my 2nd team, but I'm a pedant and can't let inaccuracies go unchallenged.

That's a bummer....

What happens at Portsmouth to make players values leap? Diarra doubled in price, now Defoe has.

Watched Australia the other night, have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good epic romp.

Adios Nobby, a truly wonderful player.

Does this strike anyone else as being a bit contrived? Flying the whole family and the addiction councillor off for a week in the sun? Does anyone seriously think that this just happened to occur during filming? "Celebrity I'm-a-Gascoigne-get-me-out-of-here jungle Gazza hunt"

Regan really is a spoilt little fuucking turd and Bianca is a fame-whore using her dad's surname to further her career. The older boy is coming across alright, he seems to genuinely care. Harrowing to see my first and all-time hero in such a state. Sometimes you think that it might be fore the best if, you know....
