To be honest that's a terrific price!

Apparently its to do with season books. Boo.

Anyways, we played dreadful... but at least I got to sit near Gow, and watch him trip up. No wonder walter ain't picking him if he can't side in and out between the chairs.

Papac has a good game, as did thomson. looks like jcd was holding his hamstring again later in the game..

Both big EPL games tomorrow are sitting at 2/1 for draws on my William Hill weekend football sheet.

Sticking £5 on that double would win me £45, so that looks like my bet.

That's our season pretty much over. We couldn't afford to lose today and we did. I don't see us taking anything from our games in hand. Then again we still have to play Dundee United and Hibs after the split so maybe we can still make it interesting and I'm being too hasty.

Fucking Sunderland!

Fucking Villa, you mean. Screwed one of my accumulators, them bastards. Sunderland's first away win of the season and other than the Harewood chance right when he came on Villa didn't look like winning.

We've been pish for the last month, we should have took that one at home. TBH

Think the last time we won was when we beat Wigan 2-0 at JJB

Better start getting some results together as Brum Derby is in a few weeks.

I'm just pissed off because we where posed to make a challenge for that UEFA spot but meh. I'd just like to see a win and not a draw we are so much better than this!

Yeah! I was sort of expecting a slight slump in form - we've the smallest squad in the Premiership and O'Neil has admitted selling Cahil to Bolton could prove to be the unravelling of our season as his lined up replacement Curtis Davies was injured a few weeks later.

MON brought fuck all in in the Xfer window! I think as well he was willing to sell a couple more players(and Rangers had there eye on one as well). Dunno, I think our spot in UEFA is defo not there but lets see what he can do for us in the summer! By all means he's not doing a bad job. Will be a tough game against Brum though there fighting for points atm im sure they lost today, so they'll be looking to snach a few points and if we arent on form they'll take them.

I'm amazed that MON didn't bring anyone in during the January window since the squad is so small. The summer will probably see some decent investment in players, mind.

I am looking forward to Gretna v Celtic. I haven't been to Almondvale in ages!

COME ON THE HOOPS.

So the big announcement was a reduction in season book prices and a huge summer transfer budget, oh and the £700m stadium was mentioned again. Those who had backed the favourite "A load of shite" at 2/1 on, still got good value for their money.

A quick look at Serie A shows AC Milan have their work cut out to make the CL. They're 5th with 8 games left, 4 pts behind Fiorentina and have a milan derby and Juve merda to contend with in the run in.
