And as if by Magic, he’s back. I know you must have missed my presence, but I needed a break.
So, what’s been happening? A lot.
Before I give my assessment on Saturday when we face our pals, let’s do a quick recap of my highlights.
Getting better under Ange is like saying water will make you wet, obvious. More brilliant recruitment from our pet Kangeroo. Johnston came in to replace Juranovic and he looks like he’s been playing for us for years. Strong, fast, good technique can cross a ball and run all day.
Iwata looks great too, tidy, reads game well, good passer and will improve.
OH, a tank and good option, is getting better every game as he finds his feet. Looking forward to seeing him develop.
9 points clear and on a different level all over the pitch.
League Cup Final. We watched Rangers players do their talking in the press, where their delusion and inability to grasp the reality proved hysterical. Not one of their Players would get into our team, not even Stillman or Cartwell. A possibly only Tillman might make the bench. Raskin is a decent player, but lacks dynamism or that brilliant through ball. Oh and we won the Cup. Should have been 4.1 but we took the cup to signal another dark trophyless tunnel had just been entered for our good pals.
Champions League. Well after years of slagging us, we see Rangers take part and their contribution led to them winning the Worst Team in CL history award. I laughed my fucking arse off. They were utterly embarrassing, the Rangers press up here, tried to put us in the same bracket, but we played some great stuff but missed more chances than Morelos has had for redemption. We will return this year and hopefully we can stick at least three away.
Game on, Saturday. I think we will hammer them on Saturday. Of course if we don’t trap then our arse could be handed. But if we play it’s 12 points ahead and a title party.
Hatate, Mooy and Taylor will be fit, so that’s great news for one half of the city.
I look forward to the rest of the season and beyond to the summer window. If we sell a couple Ange will replace them with similar quality. We have money. We will spend it.
We have Bealin calling Ange lucky to have money as if that’s not allowed. When they were being bankrolled by the Bank of Scotland’s(Rangers Bureau) cash, not a peep. It is claimed Rangers are still circa £70m in debt, if that’s not accurate, I would be interested in the figure. We are circa £50m in the black already and with a minimum of another £25-30m in next years CL, the gap off the park is going to increase and we know what that means when you have a manager like Ange there.
We have assets to sell, which Rangers don’t. Haley’s Comet Kent,( the comet turns up more than Kent) will be away for nothing or retained on bigger wages than he deserves. Morelos has lost his battle with the Pies and also seems to be waddling out the door.
Every day the Rangers hacks are trying to get Ange to the Prem. The same guys who said he would be away for Christmas. Bellends.
Rangers fans must know that another period of 2 trophy’s in 11 years is a distinct possibility. If you don’t you’re mental.
Anyway, feel free to get involved. All comers welcome. No refunds and you might get rinsed.
