Utterly disgusted by the outcome of yesterday's vote. How can anyone be so stupid as to make such a poorly though-out decision? It's disrespectful to our proud history.

More versatility to change shape during the game. With Pereyra and Caceres in my team, you could easily drop back to 3-5-2 if things aren't working. While you could argue the team I suggested would be better with Evra and Coman in those spots, it would mean Juve would have to make...

Aberdeen (and shire) were both 60-40 in favour of 'no'. 'Yes' was never going to win here because there are too many people with money who would have felt they had no reason to take the risk of voting 'yes'. If the 'yes' vote was to win, overall in the country, they would have been looking for...

I'm not expecting them to do much this season. I never saw any potential for anything good to happen under Seedorf because his tactics didn't suit the players and Milan had given him a horribly unbalanced squad. This squad is still mediocre, but I can see how they can do okay with it.

So the result was much as expected. Never expected a 'yes' vote, but I thought it might have been slightly closer. Feel it was quite important that the 'yes' vote didn't drop significantly below the 45% mark as it then would have been easier for the Westminster parties to offer the...

Why would attacking suggest guts? It could just as easily suggest stupidity. Milan are a team who want to play on the counter-attack. Juve should spend the first hour of the game (at least) trying to win the game while risking as little as possible.

Anyway, I see both teams playing a cautious game where they will be very reluctant to commit men ahead of the ball and risk conceding counter-attacks. I suspect both teams would accept a draw and not play the game if you offered them that option. On that basis, I don't evisage many (perhaps...

This is the first game where I might have looked at playing with a back four. I still see the issue of it being hard to get the balance of a team right when you are playing against a 4-3-3 with a back three/five. There isn't even the argument of needing the extra defender to cover for...

Because Milan and Inter have actually put together squads that should do fairly well this season. However, the fans have no faith because of how shit the teams have been in recent years, so aren't going to go and watch until the team has demonstrated an improvement. It'll take time for the...

Some decent games in the EL groups this year. Last year's groups were crap. Probably have a keek at Gladbach-Villarreal and Everton-Wolfsburg.

And that's going back to when it was a Scottish king in London...

Played golf in the fog earlier. Visibility was down to less than 100 yards for a while. Quite challenging, even on a course that I know extremely well.

Labour being shit and Westminster politics continually edging to the right were both factors in my decision.

I thought they did try.

Was quite amusing watching Hamann and Souness on Tuesday and then Ballack on Wednesday all devoting extended periods of Sky's CL coverage to criticising Wenger for not getting a proper defensive midfielder. Hamann and Souness were, of course, bemoaning the lack of players such as themselves in...

It's worth remembering through all this that it is very probably going to be a 'no' vote today. Almost all polls reckon it's looking like something in the region of 52-48 in favour of staying in the Union. So for all the big stuff I've heard about Belgians, Quebecois, Catalans, etc., closely...

When you get past the details of the Scottish independence referendum Thursday, there is a broader story underway, one that is also playing out in other advanced nations. It is a crisis of the elites. Scotland’s push for independence is driven by a conviction — one not ungrounded in...

Just voted.

You mean that women are more likely to vote 'no'? Not entirely sure. In my experience, women just seem to me more cautious and conservative.

Yes. - - - Updated - - - How foolish of me to think you were addressing me when you said 'you' when talking to me. - - - Updated - - - Stop being so hate-filled and nationalistic.
