    That Bogle has looked decent when I’ve seen him but thought he got badly exposed today.

    Grealish looks like a wee * but he seems a good lad. Spurs always sniffing round him but hope he stays there and captains them. He seems like he will.

    I've watched plenty of Championship games over the years. It's not a good standard of football, for the most part. I don't care what the English say about the standard of Scottish football. I know it's * as well.

    You're getting very defensive.:giggle1:

    They have a decent enough team Villa, should make a decent go of staying up.

    Hourihane, McGinn and Grealish is a good centre-mid for the premier, decent ball players. McGinn a driving force and workhorse and Grealish an ok playmaker. Big Abraham up front improving all the time might be ready to do damage in the EPL next season. Couple of defenders, wingers and they should compete well with the likes of Newcastle and Crystal Palace etc.

    Not at all. I couldn't give a * really, especially as I just got a nice 40-1 bet up!:36:The standard has certainly dropped in the Championship recently, for a whole host of reasons, not least the top clubs in England hoarding 60-70 players each, not to mention overpaying players who aren't good enough, as well as football itself, certainly in the higher levels, becoming more and more systematic and robotic. Which is why I found today so enjoyable, probably one of the most enjoyable games I have watched this season. Maybe the cash helps!
    I just think people like to have a pop at things for the sake of it. I am sick of hearing that the standard is * in Scotland and that Cambridge would give Celtic a game and struggle in League Two. Likewise, this felt like the reverse. Apologies if I was wrong.

    Shows you how effective loans can really be.

    Abraham, Mings, Tuanzebe, El Ghazi and Hause all on loan.

    They’d do well to get them in permanently.

    They cannot defend though. Even Waghorn looked decent when he came on!

    If we did we’d probably have never seen Christie in midfield and he’d have left on a bosman.

    Everything happens for a reason good pal.

    One things for sure is their parent clubs will want a slice of that TV money for them.

    Bournemouth will want a fortune for Mings.

    For those who are in love.....
    Possibly but we definitely missed out in hindsight..

    He's smashed it for them and has energy that we've missed..

    Could easily have slotted in beside Christie with McGregor behind..

    Grealish has turned in to a good player by the way. Thought he was a bit of a sand dancer but he's got a lot more now..

    Mings is a good player as well..

    That Tomori looked good id deffo take him if we could get a loan..

    Thought that Harry Wilson who I rate....looked utter pish all day..

    But we would have had a better player than Christie! I wouldn't mind losing him because we signed someone better! I would gladly lose all of them if that's going to be the case!
