According to wiki, Elton John's middle name is Hercules. I found that out yesterday. It also says his first name is Elton and his last name is John, so now i don't know what to believe. Everything i thought was true is a lie.

i only know of grans and aunties who like Denver
Pete Loaf >>>>>Deid Denver or even a tribute

He might well be, i've never heard of him before. I just wanted to say that his name might be holding him back. It sounds like he should have a blue dinner suit with a frilly shirt and be doing John Denver songs on opportunity knocks.
nae money in John Denver pal.

Glasvegas were never wonderful or talented.
i wouldn't know mate, i've never heard them, i just read some headlines a while back where someone was spunking over them with words, may even have been billy sloan, i'd never heard of that rabbit lot either until the sad news about one of their members a couple of years back.

According to the most recent version of the definitive Deloitte Money League, 11 EPL clubs are in the top 30 earners worldwide, from Man United (3rd) down to Palace (30th).
Celtic and Sevco do not feature at all. Big fish, small pond.
so talksport is correct then ? Palace, Burnley, West Brom, are all bigger than anything up here, because its turnover & twitter followers that define a club ?

In what planet are the old firm the 3rd and 4th biggest clubs in the UK? Maybe in the 80's and possibly 90's when they could compete with the big English sides on and off the park but they are miles behind them now. Maybe if you ask a 50yr old English football fan they might argue the old firm are quite big but if you ask a 20yr old the same thing they think of the old firm as championship level clubs.
They really are not that big anymore. I think it was just over 2 years ago that a Sheffield derby had bigger viewing figures than the old firm game when they played on the same day. https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/alan-brazil-rangers-and-celtic-viewing-figures-show-the-old-firm-tv-bubble-is-well-and-truly-burst/
Chelsea have won 6 European trophies compared to 2 for the Old Firm. Have 15m followers on twitter, Old firm together is just over 1m. Are able to attract world cup winners to play for them and pay the wages of today's superstars. On what measurement are the old firm bigger than Chelsea?
I define 'bigger' by who would know them outside their own bubble. My granny knew who Mike Tyson was but not Lennox Lewis, that's because Tyson was the bigger name although probably not the better fighter. If you ask kids from Ghana, Thailand or Costa Rica if they know of Chelsea or Celtic, Chelsea would by a long way be far more known to them.
So please tell me how the old firm are bigger than Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs etc.?
the question i replied to was it would take the old firm decades to get into the EPL? so if part of the EPL, on that level footing are they still going to be smaller than Man City & Chelsea who were a couple of no marks from the 70's until corrupt foreigners bought them, do you think Dessie Dermot bought Sellick because he was a fan ? He only bought them cause he thought the old firm to England had legs, the pair of them already have bars and clubs allover the US & some in Australia too, its not difficult to get fair weather fans from abroad once you're in that club, as for asking a 50 year old or a 20 year old, i wouldn't as a 20 year old anything, cause they know f**k all, i already read a post elsewhere from one of that vintage that claimed present day Man Utd would beat any team from the 90's.
as for the link about viewing figures, its never been the draw for sky that their fans would have you believe even in the 90's, although they still have 60,000 & 50,000 in their ground while playing pish diddy teams every other week, how many more would they get if they f**k off down south ? While that huge club Chelsea, still have a capacity of under 41,000, and Spurs & Arsenal regale us with the time they lost a European Cup Final

are Frightened Rabbit, like Glasvegas ? As in they're a wonderful and talented band, that less than a handful of people outside their own country have heard of.

When I first started watching Edinburgh City in the East of Scotland League in1995 the games kicked off at 2.30 in the autumn. Most clubs didn't have lights so kick off times moved to 2, then 1.45, then 1.15 as the sunsets got earlier during the winter months. The Juniors followed a similar pattern.
Early kick offs would have been a feature of Scottish League football as there were no lights. I wonder when 3pm kick offs became the norm- maybe by the mid 70s when most clubs had lights (Alloa and Stranraer were the last two clubs in the then League to get them)
1.15 kick offs meant you were usually in the pub in time to hear Jeff Stelling read out the half time scores and you were well on the way by teatime
In these days of 4G pitches it would certainly be warmer watching the football. In the old days of grass you could be guaranteed games would go off with frozen pitches in cold weather but now you face the prospect of watching Airdrie in the dark in December in the freezing cold (I pick on Airdrie because I really was freezing cold there once).
The other thing is it might be a struggle to get to Elgin from Edinburgh for a 1pm kick off (I think it's just about doable by train) let alone from Stranraer or Annan although depending on clubs in the League fairly local games could be scheduled in December e g. City v Cowden, Stirling, Albion Rovers, Stenny.
On the other hand there is something magical about watching the sunset at half time in a game in winter
the factory act of 1850, which stated employers couldn't keep workers past 2pm on a Saturday is why we have 3pm kick offs as the Gold Standard.

Celtic and Rangers alone could take decades to get into the EPL.
Only Manchester United & Liverpool are bigger clubs than the ugly sisters, they'd be ripe fruit to Bin Bin Salah Bin, or some tier 2 Jeff Bezos, you think their fans and the nut hugging scottish sports media are bad now,

Are United as bad as people make out? With Fernandes and Cavani you're going to score a shit tonne.
Granted their defence isn't the best.
they don't carry the aura of ferguson's united, who you had on your coupon every week, they're constantly 2 defeats away from a crisis, the old ''form is temporary class is permanent'' sums up the fergusons era and this lot, who can look dogshit for 45 minutes and fantastic for 45 minutes, you don't get away with that against real quality
got lucky with Fernandes, who they didnt rate in the summer, before signing him in the jan window

On the Karen Carney comment, I don’t think what she said was a ridiculous point to make, but she made it very badly. If she had said the break due to Covid had helped Leeds players recharge to come back and win the league nobody would have batted an eyelid.
its not daftness with walker, its arrogance
and i have no issue with what Carney said, Covid got Man Utd 3rd

Yeah I was probably being generous with 2012 but I can still remember a few memorable games from then. Not so with many of the proceeding seasons
i find the wanking over Liverpool equally bizarre, from the late 90's right up to 2010, there has, imo, been better Arsenal, Chelsea & United sides
equally puzzling is the love in for big Virgil Van Dijk, who is the ''best Centre back the league has ever seen'', what a load of shite that is. {i even know liverpool fans who claim he's the best ever}

So this season Liverpool have drawn against: Newcastle, West Brom, Fulham, Brighton & Man City. Why do commentators and pundits still talk about them like they are prime Barcelona?
a lot of the pundits are ex players and a lot of the journos either grew up fans or liked them when they were kids

Because the rest of the teams in the league are absolute pish. The fact a bang average Man U side are 2nd says it all. Serious drop off in quality brought in in the last few years and the transfer fees keep inflating. The EPL peaked around 2012 and it feels like the bubble will burst soon enough with the big teams joining some "Superleague"
i think it peaked earlier than that, 2008 you had 3 teams in the CL semis
