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.

I have heard a rumour from a decent source that Stephen Hughes might be on his way back......

Chumbawumba

What is this pish? We have never sung any of these songs at Fir Park - ever.

Gary O'Connor currently training with Celtic after being released from Burnley. They have no intention of signing him they say, which is of course bollocks as they would not take him on if not, but he could be a decent replacement for Sutton if he is not being a greddy fucker - which he probably is.

Aye all that extra cash for motherwell FC must really annoy you.

McCall is proving to be an excellent manager. Few ups and downs to begin with, but has got us playing some very nice football. We have scored 3 goals per game in 3 of our last six games. Clinical.

Our win against Celtic wasn't a fluke. We beat them very easily.
