Rangers Banter Archive July 12 2018

 

Use our rumours form to send us rangers transfer rumours.


12 Jul 2018 23:49:02
Positives for me are Goldson was motm for me and looks he will breeze it up here. Katic started shaky but grew into the game. Flanagan looked solid. Not seen many post about Ovie Ejaria. I thought he looked good when he came on and think he will play a big part this season. Middleton needs no explanation. The lad should and will be given a huge opportunity this season and I think a star has been born!



13 Jul 2018 00:12:57
I've seen more from Middleton in his 2 cameos than Windass has produced in both those games. definitely needs to start next week.



13 Jul 2018 00:52:08
Windass is never a winger in his life. Supporting strike or CAM. That’s where he scored his goals and got his assists from last season 👌🏼



13 Jul 2018 07:45:57
Windass will be moved on as he is simply not good enough for Glasgow Rangers! 🇬🇧



13 Jul 2018 16:36:54
Completely agree parky



12 Jul 2018 22:47:21
People on here crack me up greetin faced wains 2nil shouldve been 3 or 4 easy peasy but no what de we get he's pish he's crap does my nipples in



13 Jul 2018 00:39:49
Exactly. Only played 3 games. Give the lads time



13 Jul 2018 06:00:16
Some people really need to get a grip, its the first competitive game, he's signed 9 players and this is going to take time, i thought the defence looked pretty solid and i thought there was quite a few positives with a few negatives also but show a bit of patience people.



12 Jul 2018 22:30:55
So I got my prediction right! Said on here earlier I think it will be 2-0 and as long as we keep a clean sheet that will be a huge positive, and we did! The team is just getting used to each other so it will take a few more weeks! , but on another note we still are short off a qaulity right winger. Proven Striker and Cente Attacking Mid . for me if we complete these 3 then we will be in a much better position. here’s hoping Steve G improves the team more and as for Morelos have to say despite his work Ethic on the pitch he just isn’t good enough, Windass proving a liability again, if we get bids in they should be sold imo. But yeh try stay positive as I’m still happy with the 2-0 win considering our main concern ( defence) looks to be well and truly fixed



12 Jul 2018 23:59:49
Do we really need any more midfielders?



13 Jul 2018 00:55:33
Kyle did you see the game tonight? That midfield either requires serious coaching (no time for that) or a player that will take the game by the scruff of the neck both defensively and offensively. Shkupi did not threaten but what they did do was pass about our midfield far too easily. Can’t happen or better teams will run through us.

I think by the way Gerrard talked in his presser yesterday that Coulibaly could be that player. Need to wait and see.



13 Jul 2018 08:24:53
Lassana Coulibally will impress you I think, watched a bit of him he’s strong wins a lot in the midfield. Basically a bully in the middle of the park and he can go forward as well as defending



12 Jul 2018 22:22:01
the posts asking to stop the negativity . its our first game blah blah. remember last year when those very words were said. then BAM . out of Europe we went. I will repeat. MORELOS AND WINDASS are piss poor and must be replaced asap or used as bench warmers. and middleton showing candias how a winger should play.



12 Jul 2018 22:48:19
Correction - Middleton showed windass how to play as part of front three, candieas playing in midfield three tonight



12 Jul 2018 23:32:18
Candias wasn't playing as a winger mate so that's a bit unfair



12 Jul 2018 23:45:42
WE ONLY WON 2-0 GERRARD OUT!

There, thought I'd support you deecee, got to get some of that negativity out.

Not sarcasm at all, not even a little. yeah.



12 Jul 2018 23:50:23
Judging by what we’ve seen. even although it’s different wings it’s got to be Middleton fir windass all day long . sorry josh your dropped



13 Jul 2018 00:43:02
I was at the game tonight, thought we were decent first half, maybe guilty of trying to walk it in at times and too many square passes but we bossed it and deserved to go with more than a 1-0 lead. Second half they dropped everyone behind the ball and we seemed far too slow and lethargic with the ball, maybe a lack of movement off the ball at times didn't help - Then we brought on middleton and had them in all sorts of trouble but didn't put them away but thankfully we got the second at the death and that should be enough to see us through. Overall positive signs were there and hopefully with a couple of more additions and some games under our belt we can get off to a good start to our league campaign.



12 Jul 2018 22:17:31
for me.

Morelos just the same as last season offside and finding it hard to score. windass the boy just needs to keep claim.

ejirea if that's how it's spelt looks good. but our wee wild card is wee glenn. put him against the other mobs teriney and that's a fight all night.

Loving how SG plays his team tho. stand out for me was Magic Katic the guy looks like he's here for the top not a pay.

thoughts?



12 Jul 2018 22:30:16
Katie was good but golds on for me. Big man strolled it good in the air hard in the tackle and good on the ball. 2nd goal should be enough can't see us not scoring over there. At 1-0 had a bit of dejavu with Europe last year.



12 Jul 2018 22:35:21
u clearly on the happy pills! the formation did not work. they played straight through our midfield. katic looks ok but never played out from the back once. we passed the ball backwards all night long.



12 Jul 2018 22:38:45
Katic came into the game. 1st 20 minutes was poor. losing the ball and 3 or 4 short passes that were way off. Goldson far better player. Windass was shocking, middleton done more in his 1st 2 minutes on the park, Morelos was terrible and Candieas will not feature much in the middle of the park. Need to really take our chances. Hopefully Arfield not too bad.



12 Jul 2018 22:50:57
I thought defensively we were solid. Goldson and Katic looked good. Flanagan did very well on the left.
However, and I’ll probably get a thrashing for this, I think we are still far too predictable going forward. We seem to have either full back in the same space as either winger. This means being a man short when attacking. I’m hoping in the weeks to come that we see more penetration through the central part of the pitch and not just throwing crosses into the box when we’re outnumbered.

I’m sure SG will get things right through time. Patience is what we all need. Still very early days though.



12 Jul 2018 22:51:54
Fifa did windy and morelas not score 37 goals and creat 24 assits last season between them. What we have got to remember is that we only paid 1.5 mill for them both. don't u think that if they where top notch we would have got them for that. They are both young and have plenty of room for improvements. But all the fans getting on their backs ain't going to help with that.



13 Jul 2018 16:36:14
You do realise this is a team from Armenia, if you play like that in spl you’ll be lucky to finish top 6



15 Jul 2018 00:47:47
Eh jaj are you on the right site . correct me if I am wrong but did Rangers not just play a team from Macedonia? And I take it when you say you . you yourself must be if The unwashed variety of which Desmond himself warned you if your personal hygiene? Am I wrong in any of this?



12 Jul 2018 22:13:04
Well bears after going to ibrox for my first european game i'm torn between being happy and not. on a whole the win is what we wanted but the score line was rather lacklustre than expected, the likes of McCrorie, Murphy and Morelos thoroughly worked their socks off from first whistle to last. In addition to this the back line looked extremely solid with hardly anything getting past the Katic/ Goldson partnership. Flanagan on a whole massively impressed me with good runs, passes and tackles. Windass was utter dross and any offer for him should be snatched up but i really hope he proves me wrong. Middleton majorly impressed me with his brief appearance but my did he make a difference and hopefully he starts the 2nd leg. And finally i don't think Candeias should be used in the
midfield as he looked very weak and didn't create as many chances. Thoughts bears and apologies for the lengthy post.



12 Jul 2018 22:33:04
Good post mate couldn't disagree with much. All the subs did well thot jack gave a bit of calmness but saw Middleton in the flesh now 3 times and he looks outstanding, good movement and a great turn of pace.



12 Jul 2018 22:39:39
Candeias should be out hugging the touchline that's where he's effective



12 Jul 2018 22:09:59
just back in from game. it was awful! windass poor. airfield poor. candies poor. and so it goes on. best bit of the night was the announcer mispronouncing one of there players laughing and giving up. early days but really really disappointing.



12 Jul 2018 22:33:58
U having a laugh? Could easily have been 7 or 8?



12 Jul 2018 23:35:23
1st competitive game, clean sheet and straight on the backs of the players already, honestly need to get a grip with the expectations!



12 Jul 2018 23:51:53
Yep. that didn’t take long🤡



12 Jul 2018 21:53:17
Aw for gods sake what r our fans like its our first game back 2 goals clean sheet. This team have had 3 weeks to gel and work on a new system.

Slagging windy and morelas get a grip and get behind the team i guess they are sorry for not winning 4 nil.

There are nae mugs in europe now good result think we will score over there.

Middleton brill the big lad fae liverpool looks like he will do a job for use.



12 Jul 2018 22:03:35
Think Hibs played mugs



12 Jul 2018 22:12:18
Aye mugs that were doon to 10 men. Plus hibs are a established team they don't have 6 new player's in their team and a change of system



13 Jul 2018 16:34:53
My concern is we picked up from where we left off last season, create loads of chances but don't take them. Clinical goal scorer required me thinks. Really like the look of Goldson at the back



12 Jul 2018 21:48:42
Watched the game tonight, getting the second goal was imperative and should be good enough to get through

However, not near clinical enough Morelos looked a bit rusty, Hopefully he can find his shooting boots soon as we are badly in need of a striker upfront it shows that we were weak in the final third This will show a lot more in bigger games

Happy yet again with the direct play of Middleton looks like he can be a gem. of a player!

Overall can't complain boys are still to gel and hopefully link up play and being more clinical in killing teams off

Another striker please We are dying for one!



12 Jul 2018 22:16:00
Have we not just signed another striker also young rubbens is in about the first team.
But agree we need more competition up front.
I thought all of the new signing did well tonight



12 Jul 2018 21:47:00
middleton is the new willie Johnson very impressed.



12 Jul 2018 22:34:21
Bud Middleton on the wing!



12 Jul 2018 22:37:27
Calm down Doris lol. Saw a bit of lad for development squad and was outstanding tonight and against bury. Stil young tho n will have ups n downs. I hope Gerrard is brave enough to play Middleton over windass tues he had the fullback on toast the whone time he was on



12 Jul 2018 21:46:19
Not a big fan of the negativity here, got to remember it's the middle of pre-season, there's plenty of time in the transfer window left, it's the first game for a lot of players and the manager.

Defensively, we were pretty much perfect, still a lot of work needed going forward but there's a lot of potential there and once we hit our stride and get a few of our other new lads in the team I think we'll be doing so much better.



12 Jul 2018 22:18:03
Yep, agree pretty much with all you have said F-U



13 Jul 2018 02:52:51
I agree totally F-U the main issues we had last season were defensively . I know it’s early days but the 3 new boys in the back 4 look a big step up from last year . I’m still buzzing for this season .



12 Jul 2018 21:44:42
Without meaning to sound negative. That was very poor. The penalty at the end glosses over a rather poor performance in the end. Things need to step if we are to win anything this season.



12 Jul 2018 22:21:12
Well if we play poor and still win 2-0 I’ll take that every game bc last year if we played poor we were beat. Onwards and upwards



12 Jul 2018 21:44:31
I really hope that is still a bit of a preseason performance but that is not good enough, we can not pump a team for 90 minutes (and that’s what we done) and only score two goals. I can’t honestly watch one up top all season again. really hope for better, at least we were strong at the back but very weak up top. I’d be happy never to see Morelos again hopeless player!



12 Jul 2018 21:34:52
Apart from the defence/ clean sheet piss poor! STRIKERS URGENTLY NEEDED!

Never mind that 3M on the defender Cooper get it spend on a striker!



12 Jul 2018 21:50:07
I've tried to be positive regarding morelos and tried to back the lad but I'm starting to lose patience with him as tonight he would have been as well sitting in the stand leaving us a man down he was rotten we definitely need 2 new strikers as he is nowhere near good enough to play up top on his own last season his hold up play bringing people into the game was good tonight his first touch was a 5 yard pass I'm hoping the board get the cheque book out to bring in a striker or two



12 Jul 2018 21:50:38
I know I will be slated but here we go, Windass, Candia's, and the one I will get slated for Murphy, players we need to replace, Middleton showed more in the short time he was on a great player he will prove to be, yes it's early but second goal was vital, nil conceded, should be enough



12 Jul 2018 21:54:36
A decent striker would have buried a few of those chances Windass missed, albeit the keeper did have a great save with JW’s header.



12 Jul 2018 22:05:13
Dry your eyes 5new players started first game of the season plenty of positives



12 Jul 2018 22:13:35
Dry your eyes we had 5 new players tonight first game of the season plenty of positives middleton looks good the boy on loan from liverpool did well what did you expect 6 or 7 get real .



12 Jul 2018 22:39:30
I thot murphy was excellent tbf must have watched a different game from some of you.



12 Jul 2018 22:51:00
Murphy played very well, was probably our best player although Flanagan ran him close



12 Jul 2018 21:28:00
when will rangers learn. you need pace in the team. we must sign 2 wingers with pace either go to a back 3.



12 Jul 2018 21:58:54
Middleton impressed when he came on.
Pacey, strong and direct.



12 Jul 2018 21:13:25
If we still manage to get a decent sum for windass I'd be surprised after this looks poor.



12 Jul 2018 21:10:55
striker URGENTLY required.



12 Jul 2018 21:21:55
I see Progress Neiderkorn doing better than us and they are away from home!



12 Jul 2018 20:30:10
My pretty basic opinion so far just before half time.

Defensively we've been almost flawless.

Could do with a little more creativity in the middle of the park.

Seriously missing a left footer on the left wing, hopefully means Middleton will see a good amount of game time.

Only 1-0 to us as I'm writing this but generally happy, we look hard to beat but need to work on going forward somewhat.



12 Jul 2018 20:45:48
Can't understand why Candeias isn't playing on the right tbh, and regardless of his goal Murphy isn't more than a decent squad player. Too right footed and too predictable - cuts in every time!



12 Jul 2018 20:51:42
If any club offers us 3 million plus for Morellos bite their hand off.



12 Jul 2018 21:11:13
Morelos is murder, an empty jumper every week, we won’t get our money back!



12 Jul 2018 21:13:26
@zikos

I think it's mostly because Flanigan is basically playing as an inverted full back cutting inside whenever he has the ball or whenever we're attacking so with Candeias in the middle drifting wide it balances things.

Not a fan of that style of system but I'm just a fan, if Gerrard thinks it's for the best then he knows far better than I do.



12 Jul 2018 23:01:47
F-U, I started writing a reply but it was like gone with the wind so I deleted it. But basically what i wrote was hopefully Gerrard is still experimenting because the team didn't look balanced at all to me!

I think the only positions that worked were GK, CB, CB, RB and DCM. All the rest were poor.

Personally I would like us to go a simple 442 for a few weeks until the team gels a bit and would give candeias his natural position back and hopefully a target man to cross in to who could partner morelos (who desperately needs help up front) .



Nabil Fekir

12 Jul 2018 20:09:14
{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new player profile about, Nabil Fekir



12 Jul 2018 19:42:05
LETS GO!



12 Jul 2018 20:01:29
Mmmh not the best of starts.



12 Jul 2018 20:23:49
Claim down Christ, must have been 10 minutes in when you’ve posted this? We’ve got 90 minutes to beat a team.



12 Jul 2018 20:31:28
You are 100% correct. It wasnt the best and the clue is in the word starts.



12 Jul 2018 19:04:50
wheres fod. not even on the bench.



12 Jul 2018 19:27:51
He's 3rd choice now and probably leaving the club.



12 Jul 2018 18:55:39
Team for tonight:

McGregor, Tavernier, Katic, Goldson, Flanagan, McCrorie, Arfield, Candeias, Murphy, Windass, Morelos.



12 Jul 2018 18:01:45
So Bears what predictions you going with? i'm going a 2-0 win ( Main Thing is a clean sheet which will show real positives ) I’d love for us to score more but I’m staying level headed right now and not getting ahead of myself to much, as the saying goes expectation leads to disappointment. but on that note I’m sure with how Stevie G is transforming us and the new qaulity signings we should in style! Also hoping to see Middleton make a appearance tonight in Europe!

Formation I’m going With

McGregor

Tav
Goldson
Katic
Flanagan

Candias
McCrorie
Arfeild

Windass
Morelos
Murphy



12 Jul 2018 18:06:25
I'm going with 5-0



12 Jul 2018 18:20:47
I'll second that, 5 nil to the famous



12 Jul 2018 18:26:53
I'll be the cynical one and say 4 nil.

If the team works as hard as Gerrard insists they will we absolutely have the quality to stroll this but whether we will or not. time will tell.



12 Jul 2018 19:14:42
Got a massive £2 saying 4-0. Gamble responsibly folks lol



12 Jul 2018 19:34:33
Can see a 5 or 6 nil



12 Jul 2018 20:30:54
The way we're wasting chances just now (42 mins) I'm going to go with 3-0



12 Jul 2018 17:28:10
Mcburnie signed an extension, thank God we can put that one to sleep



12 Jul 2018 18:06:53
Dodged a bulletproof re mcburnie



12 Jul 2018 16:36:47
Any watering holes near ibrox I can get the kids in? Pre match drinks are needed after traveling from Skye.



12 Jul 2018 17:43:05
Hope the family enjoy the game mate, my wee man is 3years old and desperate to go but better half ain't having it 😂 I'm city center for drinks before games so can't help you sorry! Hope the kids see the famous score plenty of goals 👏



12 Jul 2018 18:41:50
Swallow hotel mate is good and kids get in



12 Jul 2018 13:35:13
See the is a potential issue with Steven caulker at Dundee sent home early from training in algarve for a discipline issue
Were we not linked with him at some point
Could he be an option if Cooper deal fails to happen assuming he parts ways with Dundee?



12 Jul 2018 14:09:36
I am afraid it would be better to leave Steven Caulker where he is and I genuinely feel sorry for him. Dundee may be trying to sack him after his behaviour😡🇬🇧



12 Jul 2018 15:49:08
What did he do?



12 Jul 2018 17:05:21
Was hearing he got a day off during the trip and he got absolutely wasted and I think he had drink problems before and that was part of the reasons why he has had problems in the past along with gambling



12 Jul 2018 13:22:04
Getting ready to travel down to Glasgow.

Looking forward to a good night,

Mon the Bears!



12 Jul 2018 15:25:20
Well everblue, I have not been in 5 years, although my season ticket has been renewed every year and I'm like a wee boy on Christmas Eve. Showered, shaved etc., now heading to my local for a few bevies and then the subway to Ibrox. Feeling a new spring in my step, because of the appointment of SG, and our potential given the signings. I could go on, but suffice to say. ----------- Mon the Bears.
Nights like this make you proud to be a BLUENOSE.



12 Jul 2018 13:17:54
Looking forward to a good season. Last season we where top goal scores in the league but also conceded the most goals in the top 4.
Its looking like the three defensive players and shagger have added bit of grit and steel and pace to our back four. i'm thinking that sg is heading down the line of three at the back similar to the england set up if he brings in big jake and the iranian boy. Playing three at the back would provide the cover that tav and flan/ john / iranian boy need with their runs forward. I also think that we will be more of a goal threat at set plays with the hight that has been added to the team. I think this is crucial as most teams we play will sit with 11 men behind the ball.
Last season we lost so many goals getting caught on the counter attack and at set plays. Hopefully these signing will address this.

I hope we manage to sign the young boy wilson as he has that wee bit of something special to break down teams that park the bus. I also think we need another proven striker someone with a little experience upfront that makes those runs that create space for the other strikers.

Midfield i think we have covered artfield for me is going to be a stand out we have defen mccror/ jack/ ross/ col. Attackin arty/ dorrans/ doch/ windy and the other new boy whos name escapes me wings we have cand/ murp/ midd/ and hopefully wilson.

I think if we manage to get cooper wilson and poss defoe or someone of that class then on paper this team could challenge for the league. It will be then down to the management team to provide the system that gets the best out of these guys.

The excitement is bursting out of me let's go and get 55 together one rangers only show in town.



12 Jul 2018 12:54:25
Well tonight is either the dawning of a new era or another false dawn? Who knows?
We have the big name though inexperienced as a manager with a sense of anticipation, expectation not seen since Mr Souness walked through the doors.
We still have our off field issues that our obsessed neighbours continually love to remind us about.

But I take heart from the fact they have the FEAR that the mythical 10IAR is under threat.
We’ve strengthened the team in key areas though personally I would have liked to have seen a prolific striker signed to help out Morelos but we all know they come at a premium price.
Anyway the one constant for our great club is the fans who continue to turn out in numbers ( unlike others, no banners over seats for us to hide the lack of attendance) .
Like you @colster I'm always optimistic at the start of every season and here’s hoping we are more competitive which should be a given for any footballer regardless of ability. We are still the only show in town.
#letsgo #55



12 Jul 2018 13:26:24
UJ I was excited this time last year. God we actually thought we could challenge last year.
We certainly have a different calibre of player this year and if course, Stevie G in charge.
I’m am trying really, really hard not to get too carried away but I’m afraid I must just be failing😂😂😂



12 Jul 2018 12:33:15
Tonight's game on BT sport and a sell out.



12 Jul 2018 19:13:29
On my way t stadium now guts are churning I'm a nervous wreck. Couple of pints wouldn't even take the edge off



12 Jul 2018 12:27:05
Steven Caulker sent home from the Dundee training camp. I would wait to see the reasons but this guy could be picked up for a minimum fee now. If we don't get the managers first choice who seems to be Cooper, I think he would be a great option.

Can't wait for the game tonight by the way fellow Bears. Happy 12th. W. A. T. P.



12 Jul 2018 12:50:10
Id like to see us get cooper however if he was available on a free i'd consider him as extra back up assuming cordoso will be away.



12 Jul 2018 13:24:56
Caulker has too much baggage for us, I hope he beats his demons as he is an asset to any team



12 Jul 2018 12:19:23
Ragin at Fat Ashley from SD, he must know that no bears will buy our strip from him even if court rules in his favour to match any offer, and is simply dickin' us about as much as he can. Fat Tool.



12 Jul 2018 15:51:43
let him amke an offer then turn him down?



12 Jul 2018 17:25:31
The harsh fact is that people would buy tops from him, just like they have done.



12 Jul 2018 18:42:35
I dislike Ashley as much as anyone but if sports direct do manage to get a retail contract by matching the terms we're rumoured to be getting (think it was 60p in the pound coming our way) then I believe we have to buy jerseys and merchandise as we were planiing.

I know nobody wants to see him make money from our club but let's not cut off our noses to spite our faces.



12 Jul 2018 19:32:13
I agree with Only_a_game, I detest Ashley with a passion but if he puts in a bid that's better than the one we currently have on the table then we should just deal with it.

It's all about what we can make from our shirts, the more the better wherever it's sold.



12 Jul 2018 10:15:13
How about John Souter as the 3rd Central Defender. Offer Hearts £1m plus Waldo.



12 Jul 2018 11:33:38
Not good enough



12 Jul 2018 12:26:11
i wouldn't offer money for any player rangers bid for in scotland, as soon as rangers bid for aplayer there valuation goes up. jamie walker for example. cummings when he was at hibs. people on this forum think it weakens teams by taking there players, i think we are putting money into clubs who hate us. london jock



12 Jul 2018 13:01:43
Well said London Jock however I think we can buy from Scotland if teams want to do business at our valuation, no need to over pay for anyone.

I’d go for Kipre as a backup from Motherwell. £750k

I hope goldson is a success, he certainly looks the part. Iam a little concerned about him though. Some on here think he's sh*t hot and the real deal. If he was why didn't Brighton want to keep him? Why didn't EPL clubs go for him?
John Souttar is a talented, young defender, who in all likelihood end up in the EPL.

To be fair I don't think it was the case that they didn't want him, probably more a case of he wouldn't be guaranteed regular games so then didn't stand in his way of a move, their other 2 CBs had great seasons so unfortunately Goldson didn't get the chance, could be wrong though.

i just wouldn't buy players from scottish teams, i like krippe of motherwell, i could imagine him clattering into griffiths leaving him in a heap. might be an option if jake cooper of millwall doesn't come off. wee -bear.3 players short i think we are. and a few stealing a wage to go as well, let's hope tonight we win in style tonight. london jock

My expectations this season for rangers is qualifying for the Europa league group stages at best reaching the last 16 then domestically winning the league title or again minimum at least winning one cup we must win something this season even if it's the league cup or Scottish cup if Gerrard can do this then he's a god to me .



12 Jul 2018 11:36:49
Winning the treble, getting as far as we can in the Europa league is a bonus.



12 Jul 2018 11:54:47
I agree, just hope Sadiq is the part because Morelos alone isn’t good enough to achieve the above imo



12 Jul 2018 12:07:45
European football is a tough ask given rounds we need to qualify from, think a cup is realistic title i'm going to reserve judgement till we've played our first 4 games
But this is the first season in years I can't wait to it starts

Really hope croatia win the world cup on sunday. I had bet belgium from the start, so i'll sit down and enjoy the final on sunday! My heart 💓 wants croatia to win but my head says france will win it! In saying that, this world cup has been the tournament for the underdog! It would be brilliant, for a small country like croatia, with a population of only 4 million people, to win the world cup! As croatia are an ageing team, it will be a lot of the croatian players last chance, to achieve something as big as this! Go on croatia, but like i said i fancy france to win 3-1.The croats have to find a way of stopping mbappe! What a cracking player he is! Although i do think croatia are very strong in the midfield area with terrific players like, modric, rakitic and
perisic! You just never know, i suppose!

A Croatia win would be like the 1992 Euro final with that great Denmark side that included Brian Laudrup.

Saying that, can't see past France.

Super, good to see you've moved on from your normal tabloid style of writing, but this is too big a jump for you; from tabloid to stream of consciousness! (I think the exclamation mark is warranted on this occasion. )



12 Jul 2018 12:08:32
I agree about Croatia and thank god they beat England last night as a Scot who has lived in England for 34 years and suffers greatly every time there is a World Cup or Euro championship! Now I can go into my local again and gloat!

Back from holiday some comments on stuff while i was away. Singing "You'll never walk alone" I would gladly sing/ murder "Athen Rye" 24/ 7 for a year if it meant we win the league. green boots? really have a word. I love so many on here saying we have done great in the transfer market, I agree, and then go on to prattle about another 27 (sleight exaggeration) positions we need to fill. I don't think any of us imagined 9 new signings. On that we have 3 loans so can accommodate 2 more I expect those to be, hope the first 2, perm any 2 from Solanke, Wilson, Kent and Woodburn from Liverpool.
Finally Tav. as Captain to quote from my favourite S. G. training video S. G. will decide "get that into yer 'eads NOW!

I'm hearing that the jigsaw is almost complete according to Gerrard but funds are still available for another centre half, a winger and another striker Hopefully a couple more loaned players along with this should be suffice 👌🏻



12 Jul 2018 06:25:32
Would agree need another 3 players and hopefully get rid of 4 or 5



12 Jul 2018 16:24:09
Artur d looking for six or seven out. Three or four in
