Mike’s Newcastle incentivised for Hearts

409

On Saturday morning I opined that Hearts were a busted flush. They’d shipped 10 goals in their previous four games, failing to win any (against Hamilton, St Johnstone, Inverness and Kilmarnock). They were certainly not a team I expected to see sitting second to us this morning.

All of a sudden there’s talk of the manager leaving and players look like they are fighting to impress.

You know how this is going to turn out? Hearts, who are chasing second in the league, are after Newcastle’s assistant. Newcastle’s owner isn’t likely to be hard to deal with. If Ian Cathro gets the job, you can expect to see Newcastle’s player surplus heading north in January. And unlike the five who left Newcastle for Glasgow two years ago, Cathro will know and select each one.

Which is good, as it might give us some competition in the second half of the season. As for those gambling the family aluminium that qualification for the Europa League next season will bring in a necessary £7m?

They may eventually conclude that having one of Europe’s richest men inside the tent is a whole lot better than making an enemy of him. Just a thought.

  3. Good evening, friends

     

     

    *** LAST MAN STANDING 8 – WEEK 14 ***

     

     

    Both picks are now in and I can confirm that the choices are as follows –

     

    In no particular order…..

     

    > Deccyrollercoaster has chosen ST JOHNSTONE at home to Inverness

     

    > Mike In Toronto has chosen HAMILTON at home to Partick Thistle

     

    Both games are due to kick off at 3.00pm on Saturday.

     

    Remember, the only way that we will move on to Week 15 is if BOTH standers are successful with their picks.

     

     

    Good luck finalists!

    I think it is likely one of us is buying the round this weekend. But, two draws in these matches are not out of the questions….. so, you may get your wish. we’ll see. :)

     

     

    I am sure I have asked you before … sorry, if I have … my memory is not what it once was …. your blog name?

    As I recall you were fairly dismissive, indeed almost derogatory, of the football knowledge of anyone who did not recognise the high quality footballer Patrick Roberts was, I was one, for the avoidance of doubt.

     

    Just wondered what your views were on the following list:

     

     

    Martin Hayes

     

    Carl Muggelton

     

    Raphael Scheidt

     

    Mike Galloway

     

    Henrik Larsson

     

    ???

     

     

    Careful it’s a trick question………

  21. Big Jimmy, you’ll recognise the CQN crew easily enough, handsome fellas all.

     

     

    But the easiest way is to look for the guys with a smile on their faces, that’s them.

     

     

    The scowlers in the corner are Huns, the air around the CQNers will be clear and breathable, around thems it will be acrid.

     

     

    Have you seen a happy or handsome Hun?
