Celtic's next match is against St Johnstone in the SPL. Celtic also holds a 6 point lead over Aberdeen so it would be nice to see them grab a win and maintain that lead.

The Sun are reporting that a 27 year old Premiership player living in Durham has been arrested for having sex with an under age girl.

I like Savage, but it's probably as he's a Wrexham lad and there is definitely bias my end. Would he not be I'd likely find him annoying.
He shouldn't be a regular on Motd an occasional guest, or put him on something like football focus when they go to various clubs stadiums.
I think Motd should follow the Football League show which I really enjoy. Just wish it wasn't on so late.

I think it would be interesting for Kelly Cates to get on MOTD (I really like her on 606 with Ian Wright).

I myself regularly post about a 5th tier team playing in the English pyramid, I doubt anyone really cares, but I post about it because I enjoy talking about our successes, (or more recently failures). I'm always interested to hear from other clubs that aren't in the mainstream media.

As an avid manager of non-league sides in Football Manager games, I'm always interested.

Speaking of FM, I recently took up a job at Carmarthen Town. It's... an interesting challenge.

Ajax won at PSV yesterday, thereby reducing the latter's lead to 11 points. Still, 9 matches to go. PSV should not give it away. They even had the better part of play yesterday, despite the defeat.
My own team is still 17th though 4 points below the 15th place, which is safe.

I've taken a bit of interest in De Graafschap in the Eerste Divisie, largely because I love the nickname Superboeren.

Why not try normal Boeren and go for PSV?

I've got nothing at all against Celtic but there is nothing Scottish football needs more than someone else winning the title.

Edit: My post was a bit contradictory.

If he'd done it to Van Persie I'd be doing my best Wenger impression, I agree.

You have a tough game vs Eastleigh too who are pushing for play offs themselves.

We have our local derby against Chester with a 'bigger risk' than Millwall label, crazy police stipulations and no travel rule killing off what should be a really fun game.

Looks like the Premier League B teams will take part in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy after all.

I feel like if we win this one, and if Barnet lose, it'll be a huge psychological and morale boost, and the end'll be in sight

One of the lads I live with is from Chester, says he's never been to any of the Wrexham games cos of the atmosphere

I was kind of hoping you'd go up via the play offs as I imagine you'd take more fans than Barnet. And since the Conference gives all teams a share of the money generated from the Wembley play off final, if it's a poor attendance there is less money to go around.

Wow Chester have fans? We thought they were a myth

Yeah the Chester Wrexham games, I wouldn't say are bad atmospheres usually, but the last 5 or so years really have been. We've had both sets of fans chant pretty horrific chants referring to dead fans. It's stupid as both clubs have really helped each other out when they were in real financial disarray, and Chester played a pivotal role in our club becoming fan owned. That's not to say I don't enjoy seeing Chester lose, but having such hatred for them is idiotic. I've not been to a derby in years, as the crazy travel stipulations means I'd have to do a two hour journey for an away game that is only a couple of miles down the road. And I can't even get to the home game without a lot of faffing through police checks and lines as I don't actually live in Wrexham.

I really hope we are better tonight, we were so terrible against Liverpool that I actually could not even believe it.

I'm not getting my hopes up though, Pellegrini's specialty is underestimating teams like Leicester and throwing away easy points.

Patrick Kluivert is the new coach of Curacao. An interesting choice. Kluivert is fairly new as a trainer, but is also someone with lots of connections, so let's see what happens.

I can see this going very well and then very badly.

My local team are getting their hopes up again for promotion to an ACTUAL league. But they've been doing this for about 5 years now...

I picked up some old Football Manager game the other day. I don't have a damn clue where to start...

City were much better tonight and I am happy to see Kompany demoted to warming the bench if he comes out better for it like Hart. Wilfreid Bony needs to get himself in sync with the rest of the team because this was 4/4 dogshit performances so far, almost giving away a clear penalty at a time when we're vulnerable against any team is absolutely not good enough.

Oh my god that was a rubbish match, from both sides. And of course a hopelessly rubbish defensive mistake gives Man U the win.

At least Jonas is back.

My grandmother and Aunt love him. And think he is related to (Mexican) former F1 driver Esteban Gutierrez.

Another ugly, unconvincing win, but it is a win and we're still top 4. If we somehow keep it through the next two months, I will be remarkably surprised.
