I'd have Bobby Graham in there ahead of Arnott. Class act that is too often overlooked thanks to Wullie P.

See I love Arnott too but I doubt he'd make my top 5. Didn't score enough.

He is definitely top 5 since I started going to games.... 1. Pettigrew 2. Coyne 3. Arnott 4. Higdon 5. Moult Only others I would consider worthy of consideration are Bobby Graham and McFadden, but they werent really out and out strikers.....

Dougie was a legend for obvious cup winning reasons, but I don't think he'd make it into the top 5 strikers I've enjoyed watching at Fir Park.

Parking the bus would be suicidal - especially give our issues with defensive injuries. Pressing high from the start, like we have done in our recent victories, is the best way to defend because as soon as you give their players space to play they will hurt you. Surprised if we pick up any points from this, but I think we'll make a game of it.

My dad is right into his local history and picked up this post card of Motherwell (Merry Street) post-marked 1904, when MFC was just 18 years old. It's the year after they were promoted into the first division after finishing second division runners up in 02/03. Apparently we were rotten in 03/04 so I'm assuming the sender is referring to the first half of season 04/05. The back reads "This is another for your collection, what do you think of Motherwell's team it is much better than it was last year. Tell Archie, Maddock got the sack". We were wondering, is Maddock someone associated with the football club? I'm thinking it's not, but thought someone here might have an answer.

I like to think the players were briefed not to pay the slightest attention to what folk wrote on postcards about them.

Yeah, Tony Watt. You always wonder what's going to happen when he gets on the ball.

Not the first to say it, not by a long way...
