Well, that's my evening ruined...

Thankfully (although I could be wrong) I've only seen Jeffries' name mentioned on forums; not a great deal of paper talk linking him to the job. Thank fuck.

Well, they are Brothers in Arms.

This seems more likely to me as well. Players like Gary O'Neil will probably be offski if/when they go down, and Walker could well be needed to plug the gap. Even if he does leave, I don't think CM is a priority for us next season.

No really, he was already something of a regular under Pele.

In the first half he did what was expected, winning all but one of the balls lumped up to him and linking up play reasonable well, but he was pretty anonymous on the second half. Would like to see how Mulgrew gets on with some cover in front of him.

Certainly the sort of formation i'd like to see. Plenty of attacking options and good balance on the wings.

A la Ricky Foster in his days as a winger?

Just to echo CtS: It's unfair? We need to sit down and think again? Too fucking right - although I'd suggest more thought needs to be given to which of these cunts should still be in a job rather than how much coin they should be on.

I'm sure it's been said before but I thought that sounded FAR too much like Arcade Fire... Anyway, i'm on Elvis Costello's My Aim is True.

You serious?

I'm sure that's what he meant, aye (given that Considine played last night and Zander obviously didnae).

Was about to query whether or not Bristol City are mediocre (4th in Championship, beaten playoff finalists) when I remembered that Jamie Mac is their other full back. Says it all, really. Am resigned to seeing Foster in the RB position next season. Given that the search for a new centre half hasn't given us anything more promising than Jean-Francois Lecsinel (yet...) then I don't hold out much hope.

No (other than the obligatory Wiki entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Wright_%28footballer_born_1984%29). League 2. Probably.

Don't remember seeing him play but all signs point to this being a positive signing. And who knows, with Stuart Smith coming through we might even get some genuine competition for the left-back spot, and if Mulgrew can play left-mid we could get the beginnings a balanced side. You've gotta love pre-season optimism.

Hasn't quite lived up to the promise he showed in his first start against Killie a couple of season's ago, but he showed a good poacher's instinct in the run-in so hopefully can build on that. AFC (and Coventry) clearly see something in Beebs so i'm happy that he's staying on.

Whilst I agree about the Levein/Arabs wankfest, that's not the point here is it? They were talked up no end last year, but are at least building upon their squad. We, however, still have Ricky Fucking Foster as our first choice left back and have done fuck all to sure up a shaky defence (granted, there's still time before the season starts, but are you confident that things will improve?).

Oh aye. His agent been at it again?

Currently "More News From Nowhere" - excellent closing track to NC & The Bad Seeds' Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!! Never really got into Nick Cave that much but after getting this album I acquired Murder Ballads, The Boatman's Call and No More Shall We Part - all equally as excellent, weird and epic.

I see his Wiki page has also been updated to note Aberdeen's interest. MUST be true... Did he play at all last year? Don't remember seeing him much - not sure if that was through injury or what. Was never a fan of his diving beardy cuntness when he was a Jambo but he certainly would help with the defence, if only in a coaching role. Would be suprised if he went to Div 3 as a player/manager - would have thought he'd get something "higher" up than that.

Dundee defender (I think).

Yes, it would appear that the UEFA cup draw has actually broken the internet.
