Matt Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_prem/9334707.stm not that interesting but im passing time whilst the wife gets ready. Sounds like a good idea, adding a bit of diversity to the SPL but then only 2 Old Firm derbies (the only games really worth watching for a neutral). That said, maybe it would be even more intense because theres only 2 games. What d'y'all think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Was talking about this with my father-in-law last night strangely enough. Old firm games bore me rigid.....I'm all for a bigger league (like it used to be up to 1975, amazed it was that long ago....God I'm old ).

MikeO Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Edin Dzeko....City's £27m new signing... "I was always attracted most to joining City. I have been linked with the club for a long time, going back to last summer...I am pleased to be at such a good club with such big ambition. They were my first choice and only choice. Everybody speaks about City having lots of money but it is not about that. It is about ambition and I have spoken to coach Mancini and he told me 'this is the best club for you'.

MikeO Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 ...QPR manager Neil Warnock after his side's exit at Blackburn. An absolutely livid Warnock claimed Rovers' El-Hadji Diouf taunted striker Jamie Mackie as the player lay on the ground with a broken leg: "He is calling him all sorts on the pitch. There was no need to put the finger up and call him a disgrace and even the Blackburn people were embarrassed. I can't abide people like that...I think he is the lowest of the low and I can't see him being at Blackburn much longer because I can't see Steve Kean putting up with someone like that in the dressing room." Diouf really is probably the most unpleasant player in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
