    Most Old Firm fans know they are miles off competing in the Premier League.

    Being the saddo that I am I like have a read of their forums after their latest chastening defeat in Europe and they are always lamenting how far away they are.

    Fair enough. I seem to get the ones who think they would be competing for top 4 within a few years. Must be the company I keep.

    With Prem money,  and their set up and support, they would get there. But it would take a hell of a long time.

    Ah! The game where I want both teams to lose so am always disappointed.

    Ok, there will be a slight leaning towards a Liverpool win provided it's at a score embarrassing to ManUre.

    Anyone but City for me on the League. It's so dull watching them win it year after year. No matter how good they are to watch. 

    I know I'm a minority on that. Most people I know are just desperate not to see a Klopp farewell title. And the thought of Arteta doing a victory dance....well, I get it. I just like change though.

    Not sure if the ‘negative’ jibe is aimed at me as I enjoyed the game.

    My point was in response to those that decry the quality up there, it’s simple economics as to why when a club like, say, Rotherham, will be earning more in TV revenue than Rangers.

     

    Not really a jibe at you or anyone, just a general observation. 

    'We' all do it sometimes, whether it's some of the women's football, or National League .

    Get all pious about the quality and skill on show. When it should be mainly about excitement and entertainment. 

    It's pretty funny considering the 4hrs of shite we religiously view on an average week. This last week probably a rare exception. 

  4. Jeez, lot of negativity for the OF derby on here.

    Cracking game that. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Listened to 1st half and radio,  watched 2nd.

    Who cares how crap the standard is as long as it's entertaining. 

    I'll be surprised if Man Utd Liverpool is even half as fun as that. High chance it'll be 0-0. Hope I'm very wrong.

  5. This time last week I expected us to lose our next 2 games.

    That would see us tonight on the edge of a cliff, out the bottom 3 on GD, in awful form, and looking nailed on for relegation. 

    As it is, one single win from here puts us 7 clear with better goal difference. That would basically mean teams would need better than 2 wins and a draw from the last 5 games.

    Some ask that for clubs in a scrap.

    I'm a hell of a lot happier and more confident than this time last Sat. Where I was still fuming about the ref the day before.

    I know there's bigger problems on the table, but this still sticks out to me:

    "An agent who has dealt with Blackburn regularly over the past decade says that, while the McGuire case was clearly extreme, any negotiation with the Lancashire club is approached with the acknowledgement that an agreement may ultimately be vetoed once it has been passed on to India."

     

    If I imagine a World where we escape relegation, win the Court case to ensure future funding from India, get the Wharton/Raya money for investment, and then go into a vital summer transfer window to rebuild.

    We're then in a cutthroat and ever competitive transfer market, with a wallet considerably less than most, and a stench like that wafting around us. 

    It's almost an impossible task. 

    Just grim.

    And that's the optimistic version. Reality is probably lost Court case, all transfer funds swallowed up.
