The bolded part was definitely the funniest part of this really hilarious post. Aw ma sides.
Well he took a team which looked like relegation certainties for most of last season and finished 4 points and 20 (twenty) goals better off than the best St Mirren team in decades. We're also currently above the St Mirren legends that finished last season in 6th place and have made the quarter finals of this seasons League Cup, so...

Confirmation that Man Utd have been the most Barclays team over the last 10 years.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66726456
Turns out that you can put a price on happiness (and much laughter) and it’s a mere £1.67 billion. Fair play lads
I'd argue that Forest are the ones who have best displayed the glamour of the Barclays.
2 seasons of that Barclays cash and they've already broken into the top 20 net spenders in world football. The stuff all football fans dream of.

And? If we keep beating teams that are in the bottom six, then it's very unlikely Motherwell will be joining them there
Didn't we finish 2nd in McCall's last full season largely because we won practically every game against that season's bottom 6?

Only just saw the goal from yesterday and it really was a cracking bit of football.
Tiki Taka is already associated with Barcelona so I don't know what you'd call our wee bit of play yesterday. Tikka Taka in honour of The Thread© and our love of curries?

Hearing that Hibs have agreed a deal to sign Finnish defender Snukar Lupi from HJK Helsinki.

Shocking finish from Miovski there.

Im just here saying that if youre sitting bottom by the end of the season with Callum Butcher, Blair Spittal, Theo Bair and Oli Shaw playing regularly, there wont be a lot of people hugely surprised.
Does feel like you lot are kind of sleep walking into a poor season because, as stupid as this sounds, things have gone so well under Kettlewell. Likely miles out as usual but it feels like your squads gone backwards as the approach is "have a year out and rebuild later" instead of "we desperately need to improve a poor squad", and you might get caught cold once the poor results eventually appear.
Butcher (when fit) and Spittal have been largely excellent for us. Bair and now Shaw were never signed as starters but the position we find ourselves in now means they will be, at least for a bit.
Our departures this window include Ricki Lamie, Riku Danzaki, Barry Maguire and Connor Shields amongst others. Our replacements for them, and squad as whole, are hardly world beaters but the guys brought in will be going some if they manage to be of worse than some of those who have left.
Overall I think Kettlewell and the club have done well shipping players out and rebalancing the squad on a tight budget. Time will obviously tell but I'd expect a fairly solid 7th - 9th place finish for us. The city clubs will make up 5 of the top 6 (when Hibs get their act together) with the best St Mirren side ever since the last best St Mirren ever side finishing 6th again.

Even St Mirren legend John Mcginn is obsessed with us.

See that definition of insanity quote that Einstein didn't say - that's what this idea is. Playing the fullback on their wrong side has almost never worked but we seem to do it a lot and magically expect it to work.
Surely Nathan McGinley would be used? If not, why are we paying him money? (that's a rhetorical question, please no-one answer that).
The options in order of preference are First Choice LB >> Second Choice LB >> Youth LB >> Left Winger moved back (we don't have any of those) >> RB on the wrong side >> Someone out the East Stand that's decent at fives >> SODs on the wrong side >> Nathan McGinley
Fixed.

If Biereth was so badly injured why was he not substituted or stretchered off?
Probably injured slipping on the salty tears in the away dressing room.

A huge part of us doing well is getting value for money from the players that we sign and it has to be said - we've signed a number of players who are no stranger to a sick line recently. Surely that has to be part of the data these days.
Are you better with a solid 6/10 type who gives you 35 (unspectacular) games a season or an 8/10 that you only see in pre-season, once in mid-November and a run out as a sub in an end of season dead rubber?
I take a 6/10 who can actually play.
Killie were linked with a loan move for Sam Cosgrove, I'm sure. No idea if he's even available (or in budget) but someone in that mould would be ideal imo.

Anything less than 5 goals isnt a tonking. Hibs have that to hold onto at least
Interesting. I'd always say that anything more than a 3 goal defeat is a pumping.

Is this the same Motherwell fans that applauded that diddy Lamie off the pitch after he’d been sent off in the first game last season for a horror challenge?
Spare me the sob stories.
We were probably celebrating that we'd be without Lamie for a few games.

St Mirren fans managing to be the worst c***s on a forum that includes Rangers, Celtic and Hearts fans is some going tbf.

It'll be gutting if Biereth is out for any length of time but surely if that's the case we can end his loan early and (assuming we're paying some, if not all, of his wages) use the money to get someone else in?

Why didn't Celtic just try harder today?

Already disappointed with yesterday's result but if Celtic go out and with Rangers looking less than convincing, it's looking worse by the minute.

Summer holidays nearly over.... A period in which I think iv piled a bit on with too much food and drink, and not enough gym or golf to counteract.
Really feel like I need to start something new. My gym time of late has been a bit directionless and I know that when there's no goal or structure my work becomes less effective.....
Considering a return to 5x5s as I do enjoy the buzz of lifting heavy, but then I did hurt myself last time on big squats and haven't done them since....
Anyone had some recent inspiration they want to share?
I've been following this program for a few months https://liftvault.com/programs/strength/juggernaut-method-base-template-spreadsheet/
It's a really good mix of volume at the start which I then find carries over to the heavier lifts towards the end. If you're just getting back into things then the 10 and 8 rep phases are probably a good starting point as the weight ramps up from the 5 rep phase onwards. I also find that the higher rep weeks let you dial in form with more manageable weight.
I rarely test my 1RM (once a year, if that) but am tempted to try soon. I'm running this program for the 2nd time and setting rep PRs fairly regularly (particularly on bench and OHP) so would be quite interested to see exactly where I'm at.
I'd previously followed 5/3/1 for years but had stopped making progress as it was all a bit samey and probably not enough volume for me.

I was hoping Biereth was going to be an upgrade on our attacking options because, let's face it, we desperately need something. I wasn't expecting that sort of performance though. On the strength of that showing we could really have something special on our hands.
Now, do Arsenal have any other talented youngsters they want to pass our way?
Never mind that. Everyone knows we should be offering them Lennon Miller on loan with a view to signing him next summer for, say, £5 million.

Good to know the water is back on at the GTech.

Harvey Barnes
in Tartan Army Ramblings

The only way to settle this is to get Barnes in the squad for Tuesday night. He then has to score and run to the England fans doing an Adebayor style celebration.
If this doesn't happen, we move on.
