Hugh Keevins should be shot for crimes against Journalism. I had a wee listen to both Clyde 1 and Real Radio phones yesterday while fixing a toliet seat of all things, but what struck me was (apart from Mark Benstead) how far out of touch most of these pudits are. For example Alan Rough said Alexi Eremenko is 'fast' and would be a could option for on the wing for Rangers ort Celtic. He also thought Steve Jennings could play for Scotland too. Outside the Old Firm they don't have a fucking clue. Mark that against the 909 phone in and you can see how knowledgable they are about all aspects of the English game.

Box of Miller chilling in the fridge. Bacon and rolls at the ready. Then up to the Electric for a pint then off to get Burn Broomfields Venga Bus!!

We need to play on the counter attack. As GazzyB mentioned, if we play attacking gung ho football we will get ripped apart. If we can keep it tight or get the breakthrough then we will be in with a chance. Lose a goal early then it will be a right task to pull it back. All 11 players on the pitch need to be on fire and I also think the big pitch will suit us more than them.

Oooft I am bricking it!

I think they are seeing what his potential could be. Look at it their way - for a very small amount of money Liverpool can get him and could potentially get a fantastic impact player. The respect he gets in the SPL is frightning. Most teams double up on him as they know how fast he is. Christ even Celtic had Emilio bricking it to go forward as they knew he would do him for pace.

Dunno why so many people are suprised that Humphrey is being linked with EPL clubs. This season he has been unplayable at times, his delivery is much better and he is one of the fastest players in the UK. He has the potential to be a huge success.

Far to much tinkering from McCall to make sure players are fit for the final. I can understand it up to a point, but we have now been totally slaughtered two games in a row and football is a confidence based game. Full squad against Killie and a good win is the least I expect.

This is an important game. 8 goals lost in our last two games. We need to be tight at the back or the confidence will be shattered and we could end up shipping a barrel load by the final. We do have an excellent record this season against DU, but have not beaten them on their patch. I am going for a draw.

I have heard a rumour from a decent source that Stephen Hughes might be on his way back......

Chumbawumba

What is this pish? We have never sung any of these songs at Fir Park - ever.

Gary O'Connor currently training with Celtic after being released from Burnley. They have no intention of signing him they say, which is of course bollocks as they would not take him on if not, but he could be a decent replacement for Sutton if he is not being a greddy fucker - which he probably is.

Aye all that extra cash for motherwell FC must really annoy you.

McCall is proving to be an excellent manager. Few ups and downs to begin with, but has got us playing some very nice football. We have scored 3 goals per game in 3 of our last six games. Clinical.

Our win against Celtic wasn't a fluke. We beat them very easily.

Mo Ross at rb for the final please. We have to stop playing Saunders there. He is a centre back.

Cheers yah Jambo c**t.

2-0 Well. Hearts season is over as they have 3rd place wrapped up so their eye will be off the ball. We want to get 5th place which is realistic and maybe even sneak up on Dundee Utd, but thats a long shot. We will have more fight and more to play for. Oh and on our game are the better side.

Rangers will lose to Dundee Utd tonight and Celtic will beat Killie which will basically end the SPL race this week. Thats my prediction anyway.

Fantastic day out right through from the pint and bacon roll in JD's at 10.30am to getting home and sitting in the garden with a beer with a big smile on my face. Ideal! As for the game. We were clinical. Jeffers clever runs allowed Murphy the space to run at their defence and cause all sorts of bother. With Murphy, Sutton, Jeffers and Humphrey up front we look like we can beat anyone. But special mention to Murphy who looks like he is moving onto the next level. Very very impressive. Craigan and The Hutch were outstanding at the back and we were only really troubled with a few long shots from the impressive Murray Davidson. If we can stay fit and have a full squad to choose from then I really feel we can give Celtic a run for their money.

I think McCall will field our best team. We want confidence to be high before the final. Fielding the b team and getting spanked 4 or 5 - 0 will really effect our confidence going into the big game. Personally I think the league will be wrapped up before then as Rangers are shite and will get found against Dundee Utd and Hearts.

I don't think any Motherwell players deserve to be in the Player of the Year running. We scraped into the top six while teams like Hearts romped away and at one point were looking like they could catch the old firm. The dip in the middle part of the season is why none of our players are up for awards. Also young players like Murphy and Saunders had fantastic starts to the season then dipped away and came back. Guys like Goodwillie have been solid all season and Templeton at Hearts had about six months where he was unplayable. If Murphy had continued his start to the season all the way through he would be a stick on for YPY and also probably being signed by some EPL outfit. Next season!

Player of the year is Eremenko. Took a relegation fodder squad into the top six in one season. Young player is either Goodwillie or Templeton at Hearts. I would give it to Templeton.
