  1. What a trade!

     

    At first I thought the Bills had dun goofed but Shady's only 26, I thought he was more like 28/29.

     

    Kiko is a pretty big price to pay though, especially when your defense is as good as Buffalo's could be behind that defensive front.  That said perhaps they believe that Kiko was a product of playing behind such a good DLine.

  2. Thought Southampton were pretty unlucky yesterday they were playing better football most of the game.

     

    Liverpool defended well in fairness to them but the Joe Allan challenge was a stone wall pen.

     

    That's Southampton out of the top 4 race now for sure.

  3. Yeah if Henderson had missed it'd all be about why Ballotelli didn't take it despite his incredible penalty record and how he must not be confident to not take the penalty.

     

    Happened to Giroud in his first season when he was sat on a brace and Arteta took the pen, apparently a real striker would have made sure he took it (this is when the English media had branded Giroud a flop after about 10 games).

  4. Have to agree with Milner, as much as I hate them for buying our players, it was great seeing Stu Armstrong play against Inter.

     

    Don't understand some of the hate I saw on social media mocking Celtic last night.  I want Scotland to do as well as they can in Europe.

  5. Big news that the Chargers and Raiders are looking at stadium sharing in LA.  Would certainly be a good move for the Chargers, the media just don't seem to give a shit about them while they are in San Diego.

  6. Pretty wild deadline day.

     

    Dragic finally forced his way out and went to the Heat.  Heat should make the playoffs now and did I see that Portland got Afflalo for a bench player?  That's a good pick up.

  7. Thought we were pretty unlucky with some decisions as well.  Ref didn't call France once for diving in off feet into the ruck, which they were doing constantly.

     

    The yellow was strangely fast as well, usually you get a warning for pulling down the maul and then you get the yellow.  If he was being consistent he would have yellow'd France later in the game as they pulled down a maul as well.

     

    Still a good performance from Scotland much better running by the backs and I really like the new 10.  Very positive.

  8. Nearing the end of season 5 of Sons of Anarchy, it just seems to have blown up and become violence for the sake of it. I gave in and IMDB'ed the remaining, really not liking where it's heading so that's me done with it.

    Really looking forward to more Blacklist.

    We've started Stargate Atlantis - it's iffy in parts.

    Have you watched stargate universe? It's much more character driven than the other Stargates. Pretty good!

  9. We turned down Burnley and Celtics offers of 1.5 for Armstrong so we knew there was interest from other clubs.  Should have held onto him till summer IMO.

     

    Like I say we have the bodies to replace GMS, he was gone anyway.  Better to get something rather than nothing.  Great player, struggles with injuries a lot but I suspect between 2/3 of our kids we've got the attacking talent to replace him.  I'd play Connolly most games remaining this season to give him a good run for next year.

     

    He plays a lot like how Gauld did before his breakout year.

  10. They definitely cant play.  They're cup tied.

     

    Like I said, selling GMS now was a good move.  If Hibs had folded and accepted our offer we could have got Scott Allen in to fill up the squad.  Sadly they didn't which was disappointing.

     

    I'm really not happy with the timing of the Armstrong move.  I understand he wanted to move on to further his career etc etc.  However he had a year on his deal, we were going to get at least that money in summer so why not just keep him.  He has to keep playing well or he wont get a move at all and he had the chance of silverware so he wasn't going to huff too badly.

     

    That was really poor by the club.

     

    Other January business looked good to me, we signed Dixon back who was a great defender in his time with us and McGowan could be a good signing to fill out our pathetic defense.

     

    We signed 3 strikers as well with one going straight back on loan so need to see how they work out.

  11. Not too mad about GMS hopefully it means more game time for Connoly and it's 250k more than we'd get in summer.

    Armstrong though has 18 months on his contract. Could easily wait till summer to sell him. I was hoping we'd get two million for him as well to be honest. Although 1.6 isn't bad, from what I've read there are heavy sell on %s as well.

    I like Armstrong and hope he grows as a player but he can be streaky. Start of this season for a month or two he just wasn't showing up in games at all!

  12. Super Bowl Sunday and all but wondered if people are keeping up with this season.

    How good was Wiggins going toe to toe with Lebron. I hope he stays with Minnesota beyond his rookie contract they deserve a player to build around.

    Can't help but feel after seeing that, Cleveland have mortgaged the future for 2 years with Lebron. It really has to be championship or bust this year.
