Know it might not be popular around here but you have to like what Slippy G is doing . They are more solid than the shower under Murty and Caixinha.
Good win against Rapid Vienna tonight.

Below Livingston, 6th in the league, you bet I'm enjoying it.

 

[49ers]

They are 6th in a 12 team league not doing that great really apart from two good results in the Europa League

I enjoy watching them mire than.i did last couple of seasons. It's only October. Is anyone really looking too closely at any league tables any where.

 

[49ers]

When Klopp gets to boot at the end of another empty season i reckon they will go for him

Would be hilarious if they do.
He's not even close to ready yet.

The Basque Derby is shaping up well

 

[Del-boy]

How did we lose 3-1 to West Ham..

 

[KaiserEFC]

Muniain with a passage of play and goal straight from FIFA

 

[marsh]

How was Murray just free in the 6 yard box, Everton like defending there

 

[Del-boy]

We played a West Ham about 3 weeks ago and Iv already lost count of the mentions of them beating us.

 

[TheBigIguana]

This week in why isn't there VAR sees Brighton robbed of a game sealing goal because of a bad offside decision

 

[tsubaki]

Mourinho to be sacked according to Sky, irrespective of what happens. G-Nev going mental and demanding Woodward et al be sacked (which is correct).

Normally I'd say no but this is a league where two teams have finished Top 2 in 80% of seasons or something so it is noteworthy that they're both struggling

 

[Steve0]

I think he's doing alright. Bar the game at the weekend they look much improved with almost the same players. I actually enjoy watching them now. But he won't last long I'd say one season before the clamour for him to take some mid table premier league team or some championship team with bags of cash.

Didn't he sign about 50 players?

 

[EFCPaul]

It's only The Daily Mirror which has broke this story and everyone knows they're full of BS.

He'll probably go soon but it won't be this weekend. Just that comic of a paper going for clickbait.

It all hardly matters, its a one team league until there's a little more of a level playing field.

It's a little bit of a novelty in the early stages seeing Celtic so low, but they are competing on such an uneven playing field where they have all the advantages and their opponents few, that the end result is inevitable.

Gerrard is making a real go of Europe, whereas Rodgers' Celtic have been perennial underperformers, even Neill Lennon's Celtic side got some notable results with far fewer resources. Rodgers side have been beaten seven by Barca and extremely heavily by others too, their defeat to the lesser side Salzburg could and perhaps should have been embarrassing too.

The Scottish league is a joke but Gerrard looks likely to give Rangers every chance of contesting second, and if they continue their success in Europe through to the knockout stage, it will have been a very creditable and commendable effort.

Rangers will in time be competing with Celtic again. Rangers always have and under the right management they have the backing from supporters and finances to get back there. This is ultimately good for Celtic because right now they're only competing with themselves to stay at the top. Once Rangers are back both clubs will have to stay at the top of their game to beat each other. Which is why I think it is noteworthy that we currently have a Scottish table that doesn't reflect the reality the gap those clubs should have.
