I think a GE is too far gone, being less than a year away - that event needs to blow up in Humza's face rather than a new leader's. The next 8-12 months within the party needs to be spent ensuring that there is at least one halfway credible candidate to replace him, rather than going through another absolute nick like the last leadership election. I couldn't care less if said replacement is a self-proclaimed socialist or a God-fearing Tory: if they can prioritise the binning of pointless identity politics; uniting as broad a spectrum of pro-independence members as possible; and punting out utter incompetents from key positions of responsibility (Green coalition, Susan Aitken, many others), then we can think about maybe getting somewhere.

Any word on whether this game has been moved to tonight for TV yet?

You've got to hand it to The Lads. They love their football up there.

Sore one. GIRFUY.

I will be making use of my (£3,000) season ticket at The Cottage for tonight's West London derby. Partly to network with some v prestigious business contacts, but mostly in protest at Botchettino's 'tippy-tappy' nonsense poisoning our club. I can only imagine how some of the current lot would get on in one of our traditional dressing rooms; but I have a fond image of JT, Wisey and Cunders holding Cole Palmer's head down a toilet.

Granted McMillan is still unavailable, but Robinson in behind Graham with McInroy/Bannigan deeper (as well as Williams on the bench) feels like we're finally close to a proper first-choice eleven. Even with McMillan I think we'd still be vulnerable to getting overrun by the likes of Arbroath and Airdrie, but the likes of Dunfermline who fancy themselves as football teams we should sword most weeks. A 3-0 home win and Greggying the subway loyal made for a fine day.

I'd normally make a chilli with half beef and half pork mince. I swapped regular pork for minced chorizo today - not having a meat grinder I put the chorizo through a box grater which is a pain in the arse of a job, but the end results are spectacular.

I did fear that we were in for a bit of a hiding today with our piss weak midfield, especially if Arbroath's recent form was anything resembling their 2021/22 season. They were fantastic today and that standard of performance will terrorise any team in the division whose midfield needs 3-4 touches between receiving the ball and moving it on (which is everyone). I see no reason why they can't challenge for the title if they can hit that kind of benchmark consistently. McMillan wouldn't have made too much difference to the outcome today, and to be fair to McKenzie he is standing in for the best right back in the league. But he is a massive downgrade and we can't play him there again - he can't defend, doesn't look comfortable going forward, and seems to want rid of the ball as soon as possible. I'm not convinced he's anywhere near ready for first team football at this level.

Seeing that crash into a rain soaked net was intensely satisfying. Every football match should be played in the pishing rain.

I hardly think John McGinn is cacking it at historical precedent. The man won a Scottish Cup with Hibs.

Hopefully the German border police deal with bucket hat wearers the same way the Saudis do with cocaine smugglers.

I'm not sure Antony even gets into an all-time Man United sex fiend/woman-beater/rapist XI.

Yet more very bald substitutions from a very bald fraud.

Will take the three points, but I can't help but think that football is the true winner with this result.

I take it this is the 'sign Eddie Malone' guy who decided to become a slavering *** because of the hounding he got on here?

Neil McCann: "The pound, or the Euro, or whatever they use in Finland"

The boy in the plain maroon tee

We've got ar Chelsea back

Struggling to see how guff like Joe Newall representing one of our clubs in Europe is more of a win for Scottish football than John McGinn ragdolling everyone in his path.

Muirhead and Williams should be investigated for match-fixing after that.

You just need to re-watch the 2010 World Cup final to see that Howard Webb was terrified of making clear decisions in big moments. I don't think it's a stretch to assume that that bald fraudery filters down.

I can't say I've heard much of this Tonali lad before, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how well he's adjusting to Our League.

Merited or unmerited, I'm very likely to dish out a lot of criticism to Ben Williamson over the coming months. He has an infuriating habit of pulling up one side of his shorts to show off his crap tattoo at any given opportunity.

Judging by the nick of your support last week, I'm sure you're not the only paranoid mess among them.
