Re: Bloody Football!
That old enmity for Man U goes deep, doesn't it?
Don't know about Chelsea - the expectations are so low, I think Di Matteo could actually end up winning the Champions League for them while everyone is looking the other way. And whatever Chelsea are, he is one of football's nicer guys.
I'd hoped for more from Liverpool this season, having discovered a few years back that I'm actually a Liverpool fan. The Suarez and Enrique transfers have worked, but that's about it. Carroll looks even worse now that Torres has started to rediscover his form.
I agree with Stavros about Arsenal. But the brightest spots for me have been the arrival and successful establishment in mid-table of Norwich and Swansea, two teams with outstanding young, *cough*, Scottish managers who play consistently attractive football. And on the other side of Stanley Park, David Moyes works his annual miracle with Everton yet again. It's guys like him, together with Lambert and Rodgers, who should be winning manager of the year for producing quality on a shoestring.
As for Rangers, how indeed have the mighty fallen. This is unarguably one of the biggest clubs historically, not only in Scotland, but also the UK, Europe and with a considerable worldwide reputation. I find it very sad, mixed with a smidgeon of schadenfreude - believe me, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people. Their "loyalty" to outmoded notions of tribalism has always contributed more to the sectarian divide in Glasgow and has led to association with northern Irish loyalist extremists as well as the even darker fringes of the BNP and their ilk. However, it's not just the awkward balancing act with Celtic at the top. For better or worse, Scottish football desperately needs a financially healthy and resurgent Rangers.
In the meantime, my team, Dunfermline, are almost certainly heading for relegation. Ach well.....

Re: Bloody Football!
Sammi -I concede you are right to praise Dalgleish for restoring a sense of purpose and better results, and I should have added H&G and Rafa to the mix of failure in recent years, but Liverpool still expects the best and the current set-up cannot deliver that I think.
If it were possible, a re-structuring of Scottish football should be attempted. Never understood why Edinburgh has not financed a world class football team. As for Dunfermline...I thought that was the name of a brown knitted jumper...

Re: Bloody Football!
I think it is far to early to decide that, part of the problem with the modern game is this demand for "instant" change - unfortunately for kenny a few of his signings have misfired, but no need to panic. If you mean setuo in general then yes I dont think Ayre or Commoli are right for their roles, they will be a hinderance for us.

Ouch. Kick a man when he's down, why don't you?
Ancient capital of Scotland under the Canmores, birthplace of Charles I and Andrew Carnegie, possesses the second finest Norman building in the UK (after Durham) in the nave of its Abbey, burial place of Robert the Bruce.
And ok, a perenially underperforming football team.

Re: Bloody Football!
I should really apologise as I thought Dunfermline was a suburb of Glasgow, until I googled it. Fair enough, it looks grand; and I do actually like Scotland; my brother-in-law's family heritage is Scots.
Unless Blackburn beat United tomorrow, and they have given MU a beating before, the title is their's to lose. For all their drive and ambition, there is something lacking in City, and United have won titles before without playing outstanding football.
Liverpool, as indicated earlier, are simply not good enough.
