Electric Blues

We had Dennis Nilsen on the books at one time. Oh no, tell a lie, that was Gunnar Nielsen.

Better yet! ETA: St Mirren - ooft.

All aboard the Motherwell Juggernaut!

If WE don't know, neither will Saints. Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear, fear and surprise. Our *two* weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency. Our *three* weapons are fear and surprise and ruthless efficiency...

I guess, indirectly, that every other bottom 6 team dropped points today.

Delighted for big Curtis, absolutely delighted, but let's not get carried away here.

And here I thought marijuana was still illegal in Texas

Hey pal, no need for that, don't shoot the messenger. I think you're great, it's Steve who thinks you're a dildo.

I bumped into Robinson yesterday and he told me he's picking Grimshaw solely in order to wind you up because he thinks you're a dildo.

Just in from a really shit day at work, but now I'm wandering about with a huge smile on my face, which is making the wife very suspicious for some reason. I really don't dare tell her it's because I fucking love David Turnbull!

Well, that's this year's business plan right up the fucking Swanee.

Oh, er, eh, I thought he said "choux"...

To rub salt into the wound, want to bet we lose now to a goal in the 15th minute of injury time?

Orient were my local team in the early eighties, in the old Division 3. Even then, the quality was nothing to write home about, although my fondest memories of those times include a 4-2 victory over Millwall in some Mickey Mouse cup or other, and what to this day I still rank as the best burgers served at any ground I've ever been to anywhere in the world.

The more I watch that goal the happier I get, not just with the goal itself but for what it says about Johnson's current and future confidence. He could - and almost certainly should - have passed, taking the easy option for a striker struggling for game time and without a goal for a while. The fact that he obviously made up his mind what he was going to do early on, and then had the belief and the ability to execute it is surely exactly what anyone wants in a striker.

Voted for Grimshaw, although I really wish I could vote for Johnson too. I feel sorry for Turnbull who hasn't got a single vote so far, having set the bar far too high for himself with his previous netbuster. Hopefully he'll make up for it next time out with a sublime 40-yard lob to complete his hat trick.

It makes the found footage from the Blair Witch Project look professional.

I can confidently predict it's not going to be Carl McHugh.

Thing is, Robinson did what the majority on here wanted (eventually) by switching to a 4-4-2, giving Turnbull a start, and then sticking with it for this game. He'd be getting pelters if he'd gone 3-5-2 and lost 1-0.

Remember when the 3-5-2 was first a thing, and everyone thought it was the cat's pyjamas? I suspect the real trick is to have more than one system that we're comfortable with, coupled with the nous to select the right one for the right occasion, and change it mid-stream if needed.

Live on Alba - got to be better than Chelsea v Palace.

Absolutely delighted to see Grimshaw and Cadden right up there as contenders, but I went for Turnbull for the overall performance, not just the goal. That said, he'd have a good case for MOTM if that had actually been his only touch of he game, what a belter! It was very reminiscent of Colin O'Neill's wonder strike, albeit into the opposite corner. In both cases, I suspect the ball would have made it into low earth orbit if the net hadn't been there, they showed no signs of ever dipping.
