We could just have easily lost the Accies game and St. Johnstone game, so I'm still not convinced it's 8 points thrown away.

And equally, are we doing better than you thought we would after the summer upheaval? We're 12 games into the season with a completely revamped team. Conventional wisdom says it takes 2 to 3 years for a manager to reconstruct. I know patience isn't a virtue amongst fans (myself included), but we need to cut the guy a bit of slack here. Just the fact that he delivered on every player he said he'd bring in gives me confidence he will improve things in the next transfer window.

Seriously, even by football discussion standards, the "if we had taken that chance we'd have won" argument is baseless.

Of course, if we had scored the penalties, the action afterwards would have been different, so there is no guarantee we would have more points.

You are allowed to win by passing the ball about. Will to win doesn't have to mean running around like a headless chicken and yelling at everybody for 90 minutes. Staying in control of your emotions can lead to better decision making and better results.

Surely, since Allah knows when (ya racist )

That would be the same Alex Ferguson who went in the huff with the BBC (because they ran a true story about his son's dodgy dealings as an agent) and stopped speaking to them.

I have a sneaky feeling Hibs are going to implode around Jan/Feb time.

With 26 games remaining, I don't think it will. It's not normally until the end of January that these things start to take shape and with a number of teams being so evenly matched this season, it might be even later than that. Hibs will hit a wee loss of form sooner or later and Dundee Utd have a recent history of dropping points during the run in. Saying that, I think we will beat them by the odd goal. Their style of play seems to suit us more than it suits the OF.

Putting 2 men on the post means you are leaving 2 opposition players unmarked. Unless you have a defence full of shorties, it seems to me that man marking should be at least as effective overall.

I thought it was just he couldn't see any black people from the bedroom in his maw's basement.

You know that pink was regarded as boys' colour until about the 1930s or 40s because it was regarded as a version of the more masculine red?

Would have been less concerned if they had published a different picture with that article

Ramsey actually played 4-3-3 for a number of games in the 1966 World Cup. He used 4-4-2 much more when he was the Ipswich boss. Of course, he became famous for 4-4-2 because one the games he used it in was the World Cup final.

I think your confusing 'a move ahead' with 'a week behind'. Arguably the worst player I can remember in a Motherwell shirt.

It's the sequel to the thrilling 0-0 at Killie last season.

And let's not forget the people that had given Lukas zero chance of being a player.

I thought that single quote sums up the guy perfectly.

Who's that with 'Flow? It looks like a fat Alan Cumming

That's a good point. When does 'Flows contract expire? He'll need to get cracking on the Motherwell TV effort otherwise I can see some talented internet whizz kid being given a chance.

Aye, the press never gets the wrong end of the story with transfer speculation.

Or, maybe he just made that comment without any specific players in mind just to keep everybody on their toes and stop complacency creeping after the club just picked up 2 awards.

*sound of dead horse being flogged*

For what it's worth, as of Friday the bookies favourites for the Brighton job were: Gus Poyet 9/2 Steve Cotterill 7/1 Teddy Sheringham 10/1 John Gregory 12/1 Peter Taylor 12/1 Gareth Southgate 13/1 Iain Dowie 13/1 Alan Curbishley 14/1 Tony Adams 20/1 Gannon didn't even rate a mention.

You sound quite annoyed there, mate.
