Defensively we're too poor and we need to work on that side of the game for sure. The two goals we gave away came from simple high balls into the box that we just couldn't deal with. They were crap goals to concede, especially at the death like that to lose two points like we've done three times away from home already this season.

Murphy's been absolute gash all season. He hasn't looked motivated at all. Until Berg came in he'd been dropped by Black and we were getting the wins without him. If Berg can get him playing to anything like he was last season at Fulham then great because we lack quality in the centre of midfield.

Rhodes is a goal machine and the problem we've had is giving him the service he deserves. When he's had someone playing alongside him like Nuno Gomes & Rochina he's always had chances and usually taken them. Most of the time though he looks isolated due to our lack of wingers and lack of a strike partner.

Tuesday was an improvement on Saturday and I think with this squad we need time to improve. Aside from Robinson, Givet, Rochina & Rhodes we're starved of any real talent. Dann's a liability at the back, Hanley's clumsy, so is Martin Olsson. Pedersen's a tart who can't cut it anywhere on the field now, same goes for Dunn and Etuhu & Murphy don't look interested.

pipe dream i guess...

I hope so. SPL has an air of excitement for the first time in years. Hopefully it continues although I do think Celtic will win by a decent margin.

By the sounds of things they won't make it past November 17th apparently. Hope no. As for the scottish cup just glad we did not get rangers again after the last debacle

[Bullseye]

Hearts to division 3 next season then

How can the SPL continue when clubs are so in debt? Perhaps they need a restructure of their competition again.

[Kiz]

how can la liga continue with so much debt?

how can the epl continue with so much debt?

how can the serie a continue with so much debt?

[ROUSEY]

I think the fact that the SPL gets the attendences of a local school game means it can only get worse.

[danny_boy]

That and the constant failure of SPL clubs outside of Celtic/Rangers to bring in any decent players really hasn't helped matters

Tony Watt, the young lad who scored our 2'nd against Barca last night only cost us fifty grand from Airdrie and we will probably sell him on for Millions, if the other SPL had only managed to get him scouted earlier then it could of been them making the huge profit

[Sleeper]

How can football continue to exist with so much debt?

one day all of football and the premier league will collapse into itself like a neutron star

and arsene wenger will be the last man standing

and arsenal still wont win the premier league

seriously though, why does american football make so much crazier profits than normal football? do we need even more commercialism

[Kiz]

because their salary cap is relative to their revenue i presume.

[JOAL.com]

American salaries are even more insane than football ones

my question is why is their revenue so damn high
