Ya Bezzer!

We got about 14,000 people through the gates that we wouldn't normally. Probably made about a £300,000 minus deductions (stadium hire, away match expenses, tax, etc). I doubt we made a fortune but if we were left with a third to a half of that then that's a significant sum for a club our size.

We could get Llanelli again!

WHERE WE GOIN' ?

Next season!

He was linked with us last season when we brought Coke up from Northampton. I know some people down there and they were disappointed when Andy Kirk, who did well for Northampton, left for Dunfermline. Maybe that is a better comparison of levels.

Ross County's last match was a 4-1 defeat to Raith Rovers!

Pretty much, this says he is on pretty good money or negotiated himself a pay rise.

I'm going to support Dundee Utd as if they were Motherwell today. In fact I'm going to refer to Dundee Utd AS Mothewell, imagine them in claret and amber and cross reference their squad numbers with our squad numbers so if no. 9 Jon Daly scores it wasn't really Jon Daly that scored it was no.9 John Sutton and I'll chant 'Sutto! Sutto! Sutto!' at the television.

I don't actually mind if we don't have a band or hoop once in a while as long as we always go back to it. I'd like to see white shorts back and black socks. I don't think we've ever had black socks in my time as a supporter and it would be a nice wee change.

The Ya Bezzer! seasonal SPL stat spreadsheets are more or less finished, just waiting for Dundee Utd cup final result and then give them a final check over, but here is the Motherwell one if you are interested. http://www.mediafire.com/?z2tvmmmhn4a All the results, line ups, attendances, form, referees, weekly league positions, bookings/red cards etc etc.

I'll be doing Munros at the weekend in an ultimately pointless quest to lose weight. Of course the first thing you do when you get off the hill is head to the local pub have a slap up meal and then down a two or three pints of Guinness thereby replacing every calorie you just burned off.

Three main candidates for me were Ruddy, Hateley and Sutton. Hateley has been pretty poor lately, not just a couple of games like someone said, more like 4 or 5 weeks. So I'm going to rule him out. Ruddy or Sutton? Very difficult choice but again I think Ruddy didn't quite do as well at the end of the season whereas Sutton got better and better as the campaign went on and therefore he has the momentum. So I'm going to give my vote to John Sutton.

It was the Falkirk game that did us. They came to our place won 1-0 and got relegated a month later. Having said that match was really the only 'bad' result we had in the whole second half of the season so really we ought to congratulate Brown and the team for being in that position in the last day. Just a wee stat for you, Brown got an average of 1.83 points per game over 18 matches. If we'd managed that over the whole season we would have finished 7 points clear of Dundee Utd in 3rd place. Gannon managed 1.17 points per game over 17 matches which over a season would have had us finish in 8th place.

A month ago I would have said Hateley was our best player this season but not now. He's been garbage since he came out with all this guff about not signing a new contract unless the pitch was sorted and then 'demanding' to be played in midfield. Have things gone to his head? Is he on his way? Certainly isn't playing like he's settled and happy. Wouldn't be surprised if he leaves during the summer.

Pretty much agree this.

Just like the rest of the SPL except he has a squad like full of international players.

Amazing result - amazing season all in all. Really we fucked it up on Wednesday, we had to win and we didn't so can't really blame anyone else but ourselves but even so it's hard to stay mad at this team. Surely Dundee Utd will win the cup final, right?

Just occasionally checking the scores so I don't know much else but I never had much belief we could get a result at Ibrox and when I saw the Dundee Utd line up I was pretty much resigned to Hibs getting at least a point. Baring a second half come back by United it's going to the the last game of the season. One good thing, Kris Boyd is more or less certain to leave Rangers in the summer so we'll never have to deal with him again after today.

This season? Highest - 12th Sep 2009 v Rangers 9,355. Lowest - 18th Apr 2010 v Dundee United 3,544. On O'Brien there can't be many players who have started so poorly at Motherwell and went on on to be such good and important players. Disappointed to see him go but if you are a Motherwell fan you just have to get used to it. Can't believe some people are questioning his commitment - did you seen him on Wednesday?

Well we lost the first goal because a clearance out of defence was picked up in midfield by Hibs under no pressure whatsoever from our midfield which was missing in action. Coke wasn't fighting for everything then. In fact for a lot of the game midweek our midfield, including Coke, was completely ineffective and over run. Coke has been all over the place this season. He's obviously a very inconsistent player who is up and down, up and down. I wouldn't hound him out the club but I don't see him being anything other than a squad player who comes in to fill in for people. He's not really suited to playing wide and Jennings/Lasley are much better in the middle, both individually and as a pair.

To be honest I think we should be paying more attention to Tannadice than Ibrox tomorrow. However, you never know Rangers might be in holiday mode and we could summon up one last great performance to get something but its on the unlikely side.

He's basically not been fit since February so I'm amazed Everton have let us play him since he's obviously toiling a bit. He was limping heavily after the match in midweek, if Everton's master plan was to sell him on wouldn't they be saying "hey, we don't want this guy recovering from injury during the summer, give him a break".

I think St. Mirren fans are a bit like Motherwell fans, a player is great until he signs for another club when they instantly become 'over rated' or even 'pure pish'.

He's a much better all round player than he was when he first came here, in fact I think since Ruddy and Hateley haven't done as well in the final part of the season, I think Sutton has become a candidate for Player of the Season. 26 goals in 60 starts isn't a bad strike rate either.

The most mental I've ever gone at Motherwell scoring was when Willie Kinnieburgh put us 4-3 up against Celtic when we had been 3-1 down at half time. Of course we blew that in the last minute! But last night is right up there.
