Punditry is an easy gig, probably picking up decent money too. I don't really listen to them, with one or two exceptions, just guys and gals stating what uou can see with your own 2 eyes. Doesn't make them bad people, e.g faddy, can't not like him , michael stewrt is quite entertaining too but Sutton thinks he's turned into an art form

It was the sneering way he said it that annoyed. The host persisted and mentioned us once or twice more. At no stage did Sutton demonstrate any deeper knowledge eg our depth and quality in midfield. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In a normal season, I would agree with this, as experience tells us this is the way things usually pan out. This isnt a normal season though. Im not suggesting we are in the title race, but to dismiss it like Sutton has shows the kind of arrogance that has led Celtic to where they are this season (with the money they have in the bank they should be miles ahead of everyone). FWIW I dont think Hearts are going away. They have the technology and the resource to strengthen in January and seem to be more astute in spending their money right now than Rangers or Celtic. We will need to address the striking position and get some cover in for Longelo and Welsh to be in the equation. But we have showed over nearly half the season that, if we can keep everyone fit, we are a match for anyone in the league.

Typical ignorant Scottish football pundit.

I think a reasonable guess as to how the season might now finish would be 1. Celtic 2. Hearts 3. Rangers 4. Motherwell I have been really surprised by Hearts. I thought the wheels would have come off before now and it hasn't so they are genuine title contenders now. I do wonder how the table would look just now if we had held on at Tynecastle for the win. Much as I hate to say it, Chris Sutton is right. Over a full season you need the resources to stay competitive. JBA has played a blinder rotating the squad but Celtic, Rangers and Hearts will be able to strengthen in January in a way that Motherwell can't. 4th place would be a sensational result this season should it happen.

To be fair it’s given it’s a bit of a stretch to seriously consider us to win the league - Leicester would be the comparison and I’m sure they were leading at Xmas . finish in top 6 will be fabulous - top 4 would be amazing - anything more needs a level of magic for us and further disaster for others.

Chris Sutton is a full-pelt moron. Being a Celtic fan is basically membership of a delusional cult, so it’s no surprise he’s as thick as he sounds.

They have a game in hand

So to be fair rangers should also not be in a realistic title discussion.

To be fair, I think we are currently too far behind to be in a realistic title discussion. If we extend our unbeaten run for another 10 games, then we can talk.

He does know that pretty recently we just had 19 changes over a few games? Or maybe he doesn’t but I’m more than happy for the media to write us off and underestimate us. the league table doesn’t lie.

Did anyone hear 5live tonight? Chris Sutton was on discussing Hearts title race etc. then the host said let’s not forget Motherwell. Sutton’s response was “you’re having a laugh theyre playing well but have serious lack of depth in the squad”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not bothered whether Jens plays Hendry or Stama. We will get a similar shift out of either and its hard to call which if any are more likely to score. Maybe Stama edges it as he at least has the confidence of his penalties to boost his confidence. I agree re Said and RCC. Although Id play Cookie on the left in front of Longelo. I think he is more effective there and Said can play fine on the right side. Id keep Slattery as a straight Just replacement as we will no doubt rotate fairly early with the 2 games in 4 days coming up.

I think I’d start AP in this one or maybe even push Cook inside and play Said as well

Celtic should also have easily beat Utd. They missed a handful of sitters but regardless I hope they are mentally on a downer.

Want to see him and his team do well but then I also want him back ASAP so hope does well and they narrowly miss qualifying

Oooft

Mo Salah 2+1 Egypt 8

Mas on for last 3 minutes

I don't mean it will be easy if he is in charge, I just meant if he got punted the fans would be boosted if it was o'neill back. If sellik had a striker they would have destroyed Aberdeen yesterday. Mind you we have sane issues striker wise. Hendry looks so down when he misses chances, if he can get one then hopefully confidence increases

1-1

Zimbabwe v Egypt on channel 4 streaming channel. Zimbabwe leading 1-0. Mas on the bench

If the last six months have taught us anything, it’s that JBA knows exactly what he’s doing at Motherwell, so I fully expect a good January transfer window.

Jan 1st to Feb 2nd

When does the transfer window 'slam' open ?
