    They're in a similar predicament with salah- still great but will much less great a couple. What's he worth?

    I'd give them their two years but I'd also start looking for replacements. Like yesterday.

    Rangers ability in Europe is on a par with the regeneration abilities of the jellyfish or the waxing and waning of Caribou populations.

    Simply something which defies easy explanation. Observed by many but understood by few.

    Agreed totally.....
    ....What irks me is that this will be now upgraded to some legendary status.

    It was bonkers yes but it was bonkers like a donkey getting into the grand national and nearly winning it but stops for a shit at the final jump with the horse that finally wins being declared the greatest horse of all times because of the excitement.

    You beat a hapless donkey mate.

    I give United credit but it was Nate Campbell Vs Robbie Peden stuff.

    Confidence is a massive thing, especially in elite sports. Beating your lot at Wembley has given everyone a massive lift. Huge game for us tomorrow, though.

    We've a good recent record against Villa, but tbh, I'm not overly concerned about it.

    Firstly, we've three home games left. Winning those gives us 68pts. That'll be more than enough for top 5, regardless of the remainder.

    Secondly, I get the FFP/finance reason for qualifying for CL, but personally, I'm easy either way. We'd go off as odds on favourites to win this conference thing (which we're already in) and, judging by the games we've seen this season, I'd back us at whatever price to win the UEFA Cup. In the CL, we're still fodder. Money notwithstanding, I'd rather be in a comp we can win.

    Yes but if you want to be big time, act accordingly. It's as hard to play against Fuckstick FC on Thursday as it is to play Barcelona or Bayern on Tuesday. Plus people want to play for you and you get noticed globally. Sad it needs to be that way but it's what it is.

    Big time takes time. When you've won one pot in 56 years, winning more pots build momentum.

    I'm easy either way. Obviously if we get CL, I'll be delighted. I simply won't cry if we don't, either.

    The last time you guys started hyping up NUFC was right before Bournemouth went up to SJP and tonked them.

    Now again. Right before Aston Villa ran them into the ground.

    STOP HYPING THEM UP!!!

    Worth a look......Arsenal's chances of winning the league were never rated above 23% or so..

    ...

    On Nov 1st City were waaay out in front.... and with 1 month City's chances are at zero .
