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.

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.

2-2

Fadinger. A really important player for our system. Constantly winning the ball back, looking for passes, and hauling us up the park when needed. That said, several other players were good today.

Our final ball and finishing were crap for large spells, but that’s nothing new. Overall though, it was a professional performance and we got the job done. If we can hold onto our key players and sign a striker who knows where the goal is in January, we’re winning the league.

Ian McCall has trashed whatever managerial credibility he once had by turning into a blithering, bitter idiot as a pundit. And let’s be honest, punditry isn’t a career. It’s just what he’s doing now that no one’s offering him a managerial job.

Slattery and Priestman play different roles. Priestman is better suited to a defensive midfield double pivot, while Slattery is an attacking midfielder.

If the club can sell booze, it should. And if you don’t want to buy booze, then don’t. We’re all adults, so the option should be there. The constant “don’t do it” approach usually has the opposite effect. Scotland’s alcohol licensing laws are, in general, far more restrictive than elsewhere, and that just encourages folk to fill their boots while they can, rather than pace themselves without fear of the tap being turned off, which in itself leads to more issues. That said, under the current proposals, not all stands have the infrastructure in place to sell booze during the game anyway. For me, I much prefer to meet up and have a few pints before and after the game in an actual pub, but I’d probably still buy a pint at the game if I could.

It’s the effectiveness of the system, more than the individuals in the back four or the goalkeeper, that prevents goals being conceded.

He should be the first name on Cardiff’s team sheet. He’ll be back, but not anytime soon.

Yep. He’s a clever player and we all know this.

Turnbull is the only one in that Cardiff team with a footballing brain.

Turnbull would be an ideal fit as a central attacking midfielder in JBA’s 4-2-3-1. That said, the rumour is probably complete bollocks.

Aye, and B&Q.

Plastic hard men. Identify them, prosecute them, and ban them indefinitely.

Let’s hope that’s the last we see of that incompetent, loathsome fraud anywhere near the Premiership.

Ah well, we’ll just have to win the Scottish Cup instead.

A comfortable home win is a must, though there’s probably more chance of Ward scoring than either of our two strikers.

NEW STRIKER PLEASE. We finally put a good ball into the box at the end and, once again, our nearly-man fluffed it.

I said beforehand that away from home I’d happily take a draw, especially if it came with another clean sheet. Add a competent striker in January and we’ll start turning these draws into wins.

Goodwin’s overhyped and Dundee United are average at best. This should be a game where JBA gets the better of his opposite number. An away win and another clean sheet would be brilliant, but I’d take a draw if it keeps the run going.

Let’s hope we keep playing that way, because he’s certainly not one of the best collectors of crosses or shots we’ve ever had.

I’ve been one of the more vocal critics of Ward since he came in, but credit where it’s due. He’s done what’s been asked of him, taken risks and clearly improved. Our best form of defence is keeping the ball, and he’s been integral to that.

Likely Balmer and Ox. JBA keeps mentioning Halliday’s recovery, so he’s potentially in the plans as midfield cover. Halliday might be alright with that too. He’ll get minutes once he’s fit since JBA rotates a lot. Not the worst bit of cover if he’s willing to play the JBA way. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if all three moved on.

He’s a charlatan and a prick. I called it ages ago.
