Irwin Sparkes

Wasn't his agent boasting in the summer about how Edu wouldn't be going to Turkey because he had offers from England? Can't wait until he leaves

Your average footballer will have been playing football every Saturday afternoon since the age of 6 or 7 It's easy to see how a childhood love of Rangers (or whoever) can fade into a simple 'prefer them to Celtic'

Because it's true?

Being a footballer is different to being a football fan A footballer's loyalty is primarily to the team he plays for

So if we'd had our combined offer of £6 million accepted for Goodwillie and Juhasz, would Whyte have shat himself and cancelled the deals?

Isn't he the chump who missed an open goal against us for Bremen? Wonder save by McGregor but still an horrific miss

This won't end well The SFA would never have the stones to have him reffing a Celtic match

This whole 'its all a cunning plan to save on wages until he's fit, seriously, we have it all sorted' attitude is becoming irritating So why have we signed 2 centre halves since and made 3 or 4 bids for another? Because we want all 3 of them plus Cuellar? Aye right

That Snodgrass goal was one of numerous errors Waterreus made that season, yet Stefan Klos was dropped after one bad game

I'd take Liverpool's first XI over Arsenal's any day of the week Arsene needs to pull some rabbits from hats asap

Considering Celtic got work permits for Naka's little brother and Starvin Marvin, i think we can safely assume McKay will get one

Neither channel shows any Rangers or Celtic home games until the very end of the season, apart from sometimes the opening day Few neutrals want to watch the Old Firm hammer shit opposition at home, plus it's easier to switch a match with a small attendance

Not the right time for this We need an experienced campaigner to play alongside Bartley, not another kid

I'd much rather have Novo back than Lovenkrands Lovenkrands lived off the back of one good season, and a good 6 week spell in his last season. He was shit for the majority of his time here, so much so that we actually let him go on a weeks trial at Middlesbrough in August 2004 (who turned him down)

What a lazy signing this would be His only asset has ever been pace and he's 32 in January No thanks

I can see Pedro being dropped and Iniesta playing as a winger. Hope not though.

He's shit

Totally agree Matches being called off so the Old Firm can play friendlies makes the league look small time as fuck

The cynic in me says the club are more than happy for all our bidding to be common knowledge because it promotes the idea that we're building a top quality team which in turn means more season ticket sales You're right though, we always did have a reputation for pulling off deals from nowhere. Brahim Hemdani, Karl Svensson, Daniel Cousin were 3 who arrived with absolutely no publicity

Problem there is that Jelavic is our best forward by such a massive distance Even Naismith who is fantasic on the right, is not the same player when asked to play up front

No Jelavic, No Goals, No Trophies I'd fear for us big time if he was out for even a month

I remember you saying once that you were a musician so i Googled the name and he's (you're) some renowned trumpet player or something? Nice

Ben, most people would turn you away I don't listen to a word they say They don't see you as I do I wish they would try to I'm sure they'd think again If they had a friend like Ben

Johan; are you the actual Johan Hentze? I'm the actual Irwin Sparkes
