£130m of defender and keeper right there.

Tremendous effort from the pair of them. Bit of a collector's item though.

Martin Tyler’s tears are my Prozac.

Yeah I’m just being flippant.

All on VVD btw.

I thought Milner was culpable too.

Do the finalists still get a European place?  Or have they changed that ruling recently?

He’s admitted as much.

Shades of Steve Hodge in '86 (showing my age there!). Except Hodge was actually trying to lob the ball towards his own goal for some reason.

Gana Gueye was brilliant today. Fingers crossed he's inadvertently ruined his move to PSG by allowing them to upgrade their sights to Kante due to no Champions league footy next season.

The standard 40 points should hopefully be safety now.

Kante signed a new record deal in Nov. PSG moved for him in the summer but he wasn't interested. We're still capable of qualifying for CL too.

Shit today tho and a pretty shit season in general.

April will be make or break you would imagine. Europa quarter finals, with trips to Liverpool and united.

Europa is our best bet but we are not out of it in the league. Desperately need to improve though.

Top 4 race is spicy. With all the additional European fixtures in the mix for all 4 of the teams battling it out, 3rd and 4th could go to any of them. 

Think it'll be a closer and more interesting finish than the one for the title.

I hope Arsenal finish 4th but Chelsea win Europa and United win CL. Would be funny.

One of the thing that annoys me the most in football is debates about minute silences, poppies, t-shirts, laces etc. I would be quite happy if there were less minute silences and not more. If they left them for club legends that would be fine by me.

You probably won't have to hope too much for the first two mate!

Unusual and refreshing attitude from Andy Robertson towards upcoming Scotland fixtures. Didn’t make flight for Thursdays game due to abscess so flying to San Marino to join up and hopefully play there in Sunday’s game.

eh?

Surely he's a c**t for choosing to have the op during Scotland-time and not during club-time?

He's definitely put scotland 2nd here, and going to the 2nd match is something he doesn't really have a choice about (due to the call-up rules).

I reckon most players would put their country 2nd, so I'm not really having a pop at him. My post here is cos comfy's is weird and off-target.

I don’t think he’s a C*** no. I suspect you don’t know the full story if that’s your conclusion. As I said, I found his attitude refreshing.

As you said, most players put their Country 2nd. I agree, hence my use of the word refreshing. Robertson clearly isn’t most players which is probably why he’s already captain.

As far as I’m aware, you can’t time toothache to coincide with international breaks. The absece that required the operation meant he couldn’t fly with the team due to air pressure. He was given a free pass under the call up rules that you mentioned  but he instructed the SFA to get him on a later flight across 6 time zones. 

As far as I can gather he will now have to fly to San Marino and meet the squad there as he is ignoring the medical out option.

Left back is one position we have cover for on Thursday  but he’ll get a great reception if/when he takes the field in San Marino on Sunday with Tierney switching sides.
