I know Gav. We are playing with fire l think. I said it today already but we better hope we don't get more injuries like griffs. Bitton is a decent player but not a CB against pace. Too slow and takes too many touches. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Oh god do you think more injuries will hinder our chance of winning the champions league? Get a grip, who wants to get pumped 7-0 of Barcelona anyway , maybe we could enjoy the Europa league and actually win some games in it.

{Ed007's Note - I never seen it but did Sutton actually say he'd be signed tonight? I'm always wary of statements like that as I know from experience how difficult it is to put any kind of time scale on signings.}

He said he'd sign this summer Ed. Darrell (? ) who hosts the BT football suggested there may be a chance of it happening before tonight's deadline more than Sutton did.

{Ed007's Note - Well then, he's not proven wrong until the window shuts.}
15 Aug 2017 20:48:36
Regarding PR. If it was going to happen, think we would have had him signed by now. I really hope I am wrong. Not sure if Sutton was on a wind up or not. I keep checking my news app every half hour. Sad or what. I should get out more lol.

Hi first time poster . I've been on here constantly over the past few weeks reading about paddy bhoy maybe being on the verge of joining us permanently or on another loan deal. I've seen people post comments say biscuit tin etc etc for us still to be in the running to sign a player of 8 million plus quality is a huge step in the right direction, as for me the last man to be trusted with such kind of sums of cash was Martin O'Neill and he didn't do half bad . I just hope for all the hoops fans out there we are turning a corner and will start to push the boat out to get that wee bit further in Europe . In other new caxinha thinks there stronger ππ.

First time post love the banter and rumours. My thoughts on paddy are unless he is coming full time we should move on . Another loan deal no good to us why should we keep progressing his career for Man City benefit. Brendan must have someone else in mind let's move on . Cl here we come.

Here's hoping for a good home win tonight for Hoffenheim against Liverpool! 1 of 4 chances for us to move up to Pot 3 if we qualify, and I believe this is our best chance. Liverpool have a dodgy defence and to finish as high as they did in the Bundesliga means Hoffenheim are no mugs.

54? What a clown! We're probably all on social media but 99.999% of us might be pissed but we don't threaten to kill people. On a public site. Viewed by the public. Viewed by Police Scotland, etc etc. 54 years of age and acting like a wee stupid boy. The embarrasment of court may be enough to make him realise how much of a tit he was. Hopefully (not holding my breath) the SMSM find a wee space in their worthless rags to report this guy.

Believable0
Unbelievable2
{Ed007's Note - They are for domestic games and are usually around 14:00 but under UEFA Regs Press conferences must start between 12:00 and 20:00 local time so there's plenty of scope if Rodgers is busy elsewhere.}
15 Aug 2017 13:08:28

Always a nervy night ed, I would go with Ralston and McGregor.
How did they beat Legia the very team I wanted to avoid, they must be decent or has Legia declined mate.
Agree0
Disagree1
{Ed007's Note - Astana have won 3 of their last 18 away European matches, drawing 3 and losing 10 and they failed to score in 8 of those matches. They were lucky against Legia who should have beat them by more than 1 goal in Poland where Astana parked the bus BIG time and showed a lack of discipline throughout the game, with rash tackles etc. Astana were lucky they had got their 3rd goal at home in the 95th minute or something like that when the Legia players were dead on their feet with the heat or they would have went out on away goals.
I really don't see this tie posing any significant problems, no matter how hard people are trying to find them about weaknesses in the squad. This squad should be beating teams like this, we know exactly what to expect over there weather wise, they've had a new pitch installed so it's a better surface than last year which will help our passing game and we beat them last year with a poorer team than we have now.
They'll be a well drilled counter-attacking team, happy to sit back and soak up pressure which is what we face every week in the league. As long as we keep it tight at the back and keep our concentration we should take a good result over there next week. If players like Griffiths, Sinclair, Rogic or even Forrest/Hayes or McGregor are on their game they could cause them all sorts of problems running at their defence. I wouldn't be surprised to see a penalty.}
15 Aug 2017 14:38:20
Place should be jumping tomorrow section is back in. Hopefully no bitton but can't see Rodgers not playing him just hoping this game suits his style as any pressure on him he just can't tackle.
Agree0

15 Aug 2017 14:57:29
Got the tickets in for tomorrow.
Reckon Bitton will be kept in the squad.
JUst seen your comment on LG ed, definitely makes the difference.
Think we will take a comfortable lead from this game tomorrow. Reckon we will put 3 or 4 by them.

The good thing this season is that I don't dread the away tie like I have done in previous years. We seem to have found a good system for away games in place now where we shouldn't need to win by 3 or 4 goals to go through (Be'er Sheva) .
