We need four strikers if we are to compete at the correct end of the SPL again next year. Maybe even 5.

McGhee for me as I feel it was one of my favourite seasons. We played some amazing football and also had a great European trip. Also a few people have said we only played good football for 6 months under McGhee, but I would argue the death of Uncle Phil really affected that team in so many ways and it was a miracle we actually got that 3rd place finish. Pre O'Donnels death I would say its some of the best football I have ever seen at Fir Park and the perfomace on that evening when Phil passed away was by far the best I have seen in all my years following Motherwell. Its just a shame that the next season McGhee had his eye on any job that was going and it ended up being his downfall. I think if he had really stuck with Motherwell and thought about building a dynasty at the club then he could have been a legend in the making, but greed got in the way. Special mention to Terry Butcher who got some decent performaces out of pretty basic squad, but he made some shocking signings.

Tom Cruise is a fucking c**t of a man.

Instead of watching fitbaw I am going to play more of it myself. I might even play with myself too. Saucy...

The Daily Record did its own Ins/Outs articles on its favourite ugly sisters today. The biggest waste of journalism I have ever seen. But what I thought was brilliant was that Bougherra wants a move to EPL, but the only team interested is QPR - so the journalist says he would be better off staying at Rangers. So let me get this straight. A super rich London club playing in one of the best leagues in the world is a pontless move? Old Firm pandering mongs.

Gunning would be a great signing.

Its not really though is it. He might score a goal against us, but we might win the game!

Big Higdon at St Mirren or Atoine Curier at Hamilton would both be good replacements for Sutton. Both a similar player and also more importantly would fit our budget. Mind you I think McCall will end up looking south for his strikers.

How do you know that? We were 1 goal away from the group stages and 90 minutes away from winning the Scottish Cup! Lets face it Hearts is a good move for Sutton and I hope he does well with them.

The signings JJ has made are in no way going to make Hearts challenge the Old Firm. He has a big squad and that should get him third, but none of these signings make you sit up and go 'Hearts are being serious this year' do they?

Don't care. I hate friendly with a passion.

Aye we all made it back on. A quality pish stop!

AMAZING DISPLAY - best thing about the whole day. Should be a picture of that up in the halls of Fir Park.

I have just woken from an 8 hour sleep! Tip top!

Outstanding!

Shaun Maloney out of the final and Antony Stokes has been disciplined by the club for an internal matter. Its all falling apart!

Hugh Keevins should be shot for crimes against Journalism. I had a wee listen to both Clyde 1 and Real Radio phones yesterday while fixing a toliet seat of all things, but what struck me was (apart from Mark Benstead) how far out of touch most of these pudits are. For example Alan Rough said Alexi Eremenko is 'fast' and would be a could option for on the wing for Rangers ort Celtic. He also thought Steve Jennings could play for Scotland too. Outside the Old Firm they don't have a fucking clue. Mark that against the 909 phone in and you can see how knowledgable they are about all aspects of the English game.

Box of Miller chilling in the fridge. Bacon and rolls at the ready. Then up to the Electric for a pint then off to get Burn Broomfields Venga Bus!!

We need to play on the counter attack. As GazzyB mentioned, if we play attacking gung ho football we will get ripped apart. If we can keep it tight or get the breakthrough then we will be in with a chance. Lose a goal early then it will be a right task to pull it back. All 11 players on the pitch need to be on fire and I also think the big pitch will suit us more than them.

Oooft I am bricking it!

I think they are seeing what his potential could be. Look at it their way - for a very small amount of money Liverpool can get him and could potentially get a fantastic impact player. The respect he gets in the SPL is frightning. Most teams double up on him as they know how fast he is. Christ even Celtic had Emilio bricking it to go forward as they knew he would do him for pace.

Dunno why so many people are suprised that Humphrey is being linked with EPL clubs. This season he has been unplayable at times, his delivery is much better and he is one of the fastest players in the UK. He has the potential to be a huge success.

Far to much tinkering from McCall to make sure players are fit for the final. I can understand it up to a point, but we have now been totally slaughtered two games in a row and football is a confidence based game. Full squad against Killie and a good win is the least I expect.

This is an important game. 8 goals lost in our last two games. We need to be tight at the back or the confidence will be shattered and we could end up shipping a barrel load by the final. We do have an excellent record this season against DU, but have not beaten them on their patch. I am going for a draw.
