How is Ntcham doing for you incidentally, is he still a lazy wasteman.

Also Gerrard's done a very good job even if last season was obviously a bit of a freak occurrence, I'll be quite happy to see him go south and for Graeme Murty to once again enter the stage of history.

He's done alright. Looks like a very talented player who isn't quite fit, and hasn't had a long enough run of starts to let people realise that's the best he gets. Doesn't have to so any defending in our system. Being outshone by Jamie Paterson.

Wenger wins for longevity, building more than one successful team, competing with (relatively) limited resources etc. As well as his impact on the professionalism of the league as a whole.

It's pretty surreal how signing a couple of decent Czech players two years ago has led directly to this.

I'm certain it's not true but I *love* the rumour that the whole deal kicked off because Sullivan confused Slavia Prague (the club we got Soucek and Coufal from) and Sparta Prague (the club Kretinsky owns) and rung up the latter to discuss a feeder club arrangement.

Ross County and Inverness CT are the only professional clubs in the Highlands though. I remember a thing in WSC about Caledonian, as were, having "local" fans - that is fans for whom they were the closest professional club - who had to drive like 3 hours to get to their games.

Apparently Warnock blames Ferguson for one of his relegations because Man Utd lost a game in the last round of the season or something like that

There are supporters clubs for the central belt teams in Wick. Who drive to games.

Anyway here’s a report on Gala Fairydean Rovers and their stadium of national importance;

Forest Green Rovers in League Two are building a 5000 capacity stadium for a town of ~6000 which is not bad either. Numbers make slightly more sense if you include Stroud as well as Nailsworth but still.

Not sure what any of this has to do with the Premier League thread, mind.

Not sure how to feel about Gerrard tbh. Yeah he's done well in the SPL but it's the loving SPL. I don't think he's an improvement on Smith.

He's a miserable turd who loved nothing more than personally ruining my weekend with his watch-tapping antics but he did alright. Part of me feels like taking that ropey as gently caress team in 2013 and winning his last league title by 11 points is the achievement he should be most remembered for rather than the Unpleasantness in '99
