First time Rangers have looked like they knew what they were doing all season, fair play.

Me and three mates are flying by helicopter to that Wembley next Sunday for the league cup final v Newcastle. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to this. We're just hoping someone has four tickets in the Liverpool end they don't need and pass them on to us. And if there's anyone reading this knows someone who's got a helicopter just sitting there gathering dust next weekend, please let me know.

Apart from a couple of slight problems all should go well..

My boys are at Derby County today who pinched our manager, John Eustace, about three weeks ago. This is a must win game for Rovers in so many ways. A loss for Derby won't be a nail in the relegation coffin but it would mean the hammer is raised.

My lad, like his Dad, bleeds blue and white. His best friend, also a Rover, works for Puma who are the Derby kit sponsor. They've blagged a couple of tickets in the corporate area........home of course 🤣🤣

I had this post written after the FA match with Ipswich but forgot to post it....

Forest kinda scraped through, good play but just lacked that final accuracy, they outplayed Ipswich but it's a bit worrying they're not showing that confidence and don't appear to be firing on all cylinders as well as before.

Then today, a massive result against Man City, massive given the stage of the season and how tight the top of the premiership is.

Must watch the highlights tonight

Your lads lost, didn't they? Burnley won too.

I found Villa were hard to watch last night, mainly because I have less faith in Olsen as a keeper, but he did keep a clean sheet.

I was offered a ticket for this weeks champions league second leg and frustratingly I cannot make it, I dont have TNT so can’t watch it at home eithe.

We did. My son said it was dreadful. No plan. No cohesion. No structure. He also said Derby are shite.

Ismael is losing the fan base already, include me in that. Two games in and the fans are turning away. If we lose on Wednesday there is every chance we will drop to 10th. We all know his record and reputation and looks as though the players know it as well.

There's a growing body of opinion Ismael was brought in to stop the promotion bid. Again I agree with the view. He twice stated on TV a part of his role is to develop assets for the club. In the same interview he didn't mention promotion once.

The club should have stuck with David Lowe, 14 years at Ewood. He was Head Youth Coach for 7 years meaning he helped nurture many of the current first team squad. Then 7 years as assistant first team coach so he knows the squad very well. Under Eustace he was often seen on the touchline, not yet under Ismael.

It's a f*** up.

Wasn't sure about watching the match, the last time we were on ITV (FA Cup tie last year) we lost. I did, rather glad too. Leeds beaten!

How refreshing to see Portsmouth not being afraid to go long ball. Makes an exciting change from this rather tedious playing out from the back rubbish, which most sides don't have the ability to do anyway.

They tried that (playing out) earlier in the season, it wasn't exactly working out…

For one day only I am a ManU supporter.. I want them to beat Arsenal.
My closest friend is a lifelong Utd supporter, season ticket holder etc and he has given me permission.
I have my doubts but miracles do happen :smile:
