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.

I think Celtic will win the league before the last game so we will be fine to pump them at Parkhead. I certainly couldn't bring myself to cheer them onto a win, but I wouldn't be unhappy if we lost - if that makes sense.

Has Craig Brown not got previous on 'writing letters' so to speak?

Just noticed we don't get three home games. We have 2 against Killie and Rangers. So we have been shafted this year too. Shambles!

Have to say its been a very favourable draw for Rangers. All their bogey teams at home. At least we get three more home games and the potential to destroy Rangers title bid. That would be sweet!

Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home. Home! And this is my room, and you're all here. And I'm not gonna leave here ever, ever again, because I love you ...

Anyone hear Brown on the BBC sportsound last night? Basically said that he had responded to the SFA with a letter to explain his assualt on Boyle, but he then started saying he could have sent them much more and that included letters from Motherwell fans who have been embarrassed with John Boyles actions, but of course he 'would keep that to himself' - oh but wait Craig you just annouced it to thousands of people on the radio. Aww shucks! Then cue Richard Gordon, Billy Dodds and some other cock go on about how cute the wee fucker is!

McCarthy is much better than Jennings, but McCarthur is not. So with that simple sentence I think we can say that Jennings could play in the bottom half of the EPL.

I think the team that beat Dundee Utd is the ideal setup, but the only change being Craigan in for Gunning who is not fully fit. So mine would be: Randy Hammell Craigan Hutchy Hateley Humph Jenners Las Murph Sutts Foxy Bing Bang Bosh!

No Hutchinson! yer affin a laugh!

I see that Neil Lennon wants the old c**t strung up in front of the SFA.

We can moan all we like about the fixture headache that the top six split makes, but at the end of the day all SPL clubs agreed to have this split so thats the way the cookie crumbles. My only gripe with it is that Rangers and Celtic always get the fixtures in their favour and not vice versa. But whats new eh?

I think what we do have at the moment is key players hitting good form. Murphy, Humphrey, Lasley, Sutton, Randolph and Hutchy are all playing out of their skin right now and hopefully that will continue. Also I just don't know how St Johnstone will be able to cope with Murphy and Humphrey running at them? They might have to double up which will limit them going forward. Its Going to be a very interesting game as St Johnstone play it on the deck like us and this could make for a few goals at either end. Also if Jeffers is fit then his clever runs can open up space for Sutton and Murphy to exploit.

Whats the situation with Hammell and Jeffers? Are both going to make the Semi Final?

So you are fed up reading a 9 page thread about Craig Brown that you yourself have replyed on? Fucking Internet Forum Thought Police do my box right in.

Trucks - my point is that Aberdeen have a dreadful squad and a debt of 12 million. What exactly can Brown and Knox do? They won't have the cash to rebuild the whole squad and also the players he has brought in are average to say the least. Yes he has saved them from relegation, but long term I think there is no hope for them.

Higdon I would think will be snapped up by a Championship club. He has saved St Mirren being in a relegation dogfight.

The thing with Aberdeen is where the fuck do they go from here? They are 12 million in debt, have a totally shite squad and a management team that is looking unlikley to fix the mess. As for Browns media relations - he said he would keep a dignified silence. We since then he has never shut up! I think he is losing it.

There was a guy next to me last night who was just dying to give Forbes stick. Him and all the knobs around him sniping away at him all game. Mind you not a peep when his hard work setup the goal. The problem with Forbes is that he is far too slow. He gets caught on the ball all the time. Not sure if it can be worked on, but if his pace increased he would be a great player. But I am not going to shout at the lad from the stands. Its the same with Steve Jones against Aberdeen. Some muppets in front of me were like 'Aye he will fuck up soon enough'. Negative wanks.

Randy is certainly worth a couple of million as good goalkeepers are very rare. Humphrey will need about six months of his current form and his value will baloon. If there has been scouts at the last three games then they will be going back raving about him. He has been unplayable over the last week. Murphy on form is also a total nightmare for defenders. His skill on the ball the last few weeks has been excellent and I am sure the scouts will have mentioned his name. Hutchinson is one of the best defenders in the SPL right now and is a stick on to go to big things in the game. A true talent. I am basically resigned to losing them all pretty soon!

That was an odd game last night. We looked off the pace, disjointed and unbalaced. But we took our two chances with a stroke of fortune. You do make your own luck though. In the second half we just put up the defences and held on for grim life. A great 3 points considering the state of the squad and the fact Dundee Utd are flying and have some very good players. Also quick mention to Forbes. Why is he so slow? You look at Gomis and he passes, moves and turns on a sixpence, but with Forbes is a couple of touches and by then the player is on top of him. he needs to quicken up or he will never make it at his level. The boy can pass and is now getting stuck in, but if he doesn't quicken up he will be left behind. Big Sutton need a rest pronto - he looked fecked after about 2 minutes!

Top six is sorted. No way will ICT win all those games. Rest a few for the Hearts game and make sure we are in peak condition for the semi final as I am pretty sure St Johnstone will be doing the same.

You behave yourself ya miserable git. I bet you love it when we get beat.

Glory Hunter!
