    Chris Sutton will make a huge difference Sunny. :wink: He might b pushing 33 but he’ll do a great job for another few years.

    i’m afraid in scotland hes made to look good, in the prem, hes no more then a fringe reserve player

    It’s a tired old line Soulie that they’re made to look good in Scotland. Plenty of players have “been made to look good in Scotland” and then have proved themselves good in England. Di Canio and Viduka spring to mind.
    Sutton has nothing to prove to anyone. He’s maybe a bit past his peak now, but he scored goals against some of the best teams in Europe with Celtic. If ya dont wanna judge him on what he did in Scotland then take a look at his record against some of the top defenders in the world a few years ago.

    i’m sorry, but fact remains, there are too many weak teams in the scotish league, yeah you have now 4 or 5 teams who are decent, and its coming along

    rangers
    celtic
    hibs
    hearts

    and at a push maybe aberdeen

    but playing against the other teams, the defence is poor, and when playing for a top team, you gonna get more chances

    its fact the english league is a tougher league, i can only remember sutton having two good seasons in england, one for norwich, and his first with blackburn alongside shearer, hes not gonna down as a legend in england i’m afraid

    Im not gonna argue with ya over whether the Scottish League’s as strong as the English League. Only a fool would do that. Clearly the English League is superior in every way, as you would expect given the size and population differences of England and Scotland.
    I would argue that players like Sutton, Lennon, Larsson etc could certainly have cut it in England. They’re a bit past they’re prime now but a few years ago they would have more than held their own. As I’ve said they’re performances in Europe for Celtic over the years shows that to be true, and also Larssons performances for Sweden at international level.

    and these are all players who did extremly well in scotland, noted, i was just saying its not often a player from rangers or celtic signs for one of the big teams in the prem, apart from when fergie had a bad day on the booze and bought miller :)

    #179319

    That’s only a recent thing though. Scottish players used to be the backbone of the top English sides. Every top English side had at least three Scot’s in their team.

    Havent seen sutton have a good game yet and bruce keeps playing him with heskie

    And they realy dont play well togther

    He is now injured :roll:

    As for yesterday game i havent seen the back play so weak

    At one time baggies had only 1 man on the ball there was a left winger and mid filder and a right bk by him :shock: :shock: How i dont f00king no

    And not 1 of them went to try and tackle him

    Its ok thinking wel we got a lucky piont and god it was lucky the pen

    But unless bruce sorts him self out and the team we are defo going down

    The crowd kept shouting for lil DJ ok he fast but with out backing he aint going to get the ball in he is fast but in my eyes he to small lol

    After yesterday it makes me wonder why the f00k i buy a sesion ticket and go and watch that b0ll0x week in week out :evil:

    #179322

    One game in how many tho bad :roll:

    Proves he aint done alot in my eyes stan at the age he is does more on the pitch than any of the others

    Melchoit is going you can tell he dont try he WONT run jump cross he was a great player to start with

    Dunn played from the start and you could tell he makes a difreence

    I try my hardest to get behind them every week but its getting harder

    Then bruce comes on radio and says sh ite like well would help if the crowds got behind the lads

    FFS we sing for neally 90 mins what does he want blood
