paranoid android

b*****ds.

A lassie at Uni called Tamara.

What's a bidet?

It's something - as opposed to nothing or next to nothing from previous games. Also a positive if Shankland is credited for that scrappy goal. Great to see Forrester getting a chance, and doing pretty well.

I went to a ballet once.

Take a walk on the HAIM side - taps aff.

I've always liked Alex Neil as a coach, but I don't think it will be him or any of the usual suspects.

Bradley Walsh saying 'You've put...' on The Chase. Is that the best they could come up with, ffs?

Naismith has to be away this week - Wee Budgie will be shitting herself at the prospect of a hostile atmosphere on Saturday. I wanted Naismith to work, obviously, but he hasn't helped himself - can no longer pick a team or set the team up properly - there is no shape or obvious game plan, and his changes during games don't make any sense - he's lost the plot for sure, and he's most likely lost the players, despite what he says. If it's left to Budge, it will be weeks before they settle on a replacement - if the new recruitment thing is going to happen, it has to be a coach who can develop and improve players, so it surely makes sense for Bloom to have input on the appointment.

Ain't no surf in Portobello.

Knowledge is porridge.

Yep.

If it works. Bloom definitely seems to know what he's doing, but I think he's a gambler.

Not totally sure re what this proposed deal entails, as I'm about to demonstrate, but... I'm reminded of the Scottish Media Group investment - apart from anything else, it got us the Finish goalie, but I'm sure we had to repay the investment - it didn't take us to the 'next level'. God knows how much money actually came in from Vlad Romanov - it got us some fantastic players, and some ordinary ones. I think we've been receiving decent investment thanks to the generosity of JA - a lot of which might have been wasted on players that weren't worth it - I think a lot of Levein sanctioned signings were wasteful. If we're going to be able to invest in the squad, we can't do it until January. If the Moneyball model is going to work, Bloom might want to appoint a coach with a record for improving players. I'm sure I've read that this could end up with Bloom owning the club - how does that square with fan ownership? Ten mill is a lot of money to us, if not to glasgow rangers - how much difference will ten mill actually make to us? and finally... James Duffy is a doddery auld c**t.

Aye, good to have another option up front in Musa. Some positives to take from today's performance - he's not getting sacked this week, but there's very little margin for error now. The Baningame thing is annoying me - good player, and should have been eased back in gently.
