It's where the Villa were formed. Some young lads from a local church cricket team were talking one night under a lamppost about how to stay fit during the winter and they decided to form a football team. Two of them were local, two had moved from Wales. Villa supporters' opinions of Carlos (in the real world rather than on the internet) have always been mainly positive.

Under a lamppost in Handsworth, thanks to two Welshmen and two local lads.

The job's Kevin MacDonald's if he wants it. Otherwise Klinsmann is worth a punt.

In the words of the immortal Judge Judy, "Coulda, woulda, shoulda." The team were just about still good enough to win the league but couldn't hang on for another two games. Maybe Walter should have ripped it up and started again four years earlier, but the support wouldn't have accepted even one year of rebuilding while the IARs were building up. It suited all of us to keep flogging the dying horse.

How fukkin' close was that team to really cracking it?

Got it and it's wonderful. Simon Inglis does a great job.

Did I imagine it or was he lined up to join the Gers in some sort of backroom role a few days before getting the Celtic manager's job?

You must be mistaken. That lot never attack anyone, they're the good guys. Old Firm violence is always one way.

It really makes no difference who plays and who doesn't. If we don't match the Tims result regardless of the line-ups we don't deserve the title.

The game's bound to be rescheduled. They'll find it's the anniversary of the death of a programme seller's granny so it's only right they shouldn't have to play on that date.

Wanna bet? This is Scotland, don't forget.

Because by then they were in the driving seat. We all know why the Old Firm game was called off. We all know there's no depth Celtic won't sink to. But in the end it doesn't matter. The record books will say: 2007-08 Champions - Celtic. They won't say Celtic got games called off when they were in trouble or Rangers were driven harder than a nineteenth century pit pony at the end of the season, because ultimately nobody except us cares.

We are Rangers. They are only Celtic. Never forget that. Now we've got a cup final to win.
