Sour grapes comes to mind, Fergie bought plenty of Turkeys along the way, some even as bad as Fellaini.

I think its about time that something was done about Scottish Football and bring it in line with the Football League.

The Scottish League is becoming a second rate football saga. Celtic for example seems unstoppable in the SFL. And with Brendan Rodgers getting this hero hype. There are no strong clubs to take on Celtic.

And he is taking to pride that he is making Celtic great again. Who is he kidding. Can anyone name ONE strong side in Scottish football.

That's why the Tv money invested in SF.is very low compared to EPL

Most leagues only have a couple of strong teams, rangers will come again and they are still the most successful domestic club team in the world iirc despite celtics recent dominance

Obviously not being as knowledgeable as your good self but out of all the leagues in the world the Premiership is the most competitive IMO TD.

That's why TD said 'most' and not all I suspect. 😉

What a goal from Henry Mick, offside maybe but what a finish.

Chinese club make bid of 300 million for Cristiano Ronaldo. Wage offered is 1.6 million per week.

A football manager esque bid. Madness.

denphone · 30-12-2016, 04:35

Yes it certainly is utter madness as its not sustainable IMO.

There's no chance to choke for Arsenal this year. Chelsea are in unstoppable form and Man United are making a return.

Sunderland return to their previous form and Swansea are in serious trouble.

denphone · 31-12-2016, 17:24

Yep Chelsea will win the title , Man Utd will qualify for the CL and Swansea and Sunderland are doomed.

That sort of win always feels so good, just home from OT. Hit the post twice, perfectly good goal disallowed, shot after shot raining in and then Boro score with first shot on target. No heads went down though, the kitchen floors, walls and work tops along with the sink got thrown at Boro for a thoroughly deserved three points.

Edit, Even Fellaini did little wrong but they did score both goals after he was subbed.

Some boring championship news but Dwight Gayle scored his 19th goal in 19 games for Newcastle last night

I laughed when we signed him too. Seems even Benitez can buy players literally made for the Championship.

I find it totally a disgrace to football fans that the Chinese are now trying to poach top players.

But to pay Ronaldo - ONE MILLION per week, is a total joke. The wages that are paid to footballers, is outrageous

What clubs can do, if they are prepared to pay this amount of money. Is reduce drastically, the entrance fee to grounds.

To go to Spurs, l am looking at nearly £250.00 for the game. That's entrance fee, to get food and drink inside the ground. And transport charge.

And now they are trying to poach Clattenburg. The so called Top referee. The ref wh cannot see the ball go over the line by 4 feet

Gayle is one of those strange players like Cameron Jerome and Vaz Te to good for the championship but not good enough for the premier league imo. He at least is young enough to prove me wrong though and his confidence must be sky high which will only help

Makes up for the 3 sending-offs where the ref bottled it, 2 offside goals and the one handballed into the net...
