ninety-minute nationalism

monday morning trawl through the weekends football highlights, featuring the spl, the bundesliga, and barcelona, soundtracked by ben butler and some strong coffee.

rangers really are terrible - quite outplayed by kilmarnock at ibrox. really fancy us getting a result against them next week if they play like that. 
why doesn’t lennon partner stokes with hooper every week?
schalke are great fun to watch at the moment.
and how great is marco reus, so great.

there is always football.

so, all these articles that have been like “oh, the really embarrassing thing for scottish football is that despite being docked ten points for going into administration, rangers are still comfortably clear of third placed motherwell”.

not so any more. motherwell are six points behind rangers with a game in hand, and on a patch of great form, the complete contrast to rangers desperately poor recent performances. and motherwell have a striker, which is more than you can say for the huns at the moment. after a week of revelation after revelation, motherwell catching rangers this season doesn’t seem totally impossible..

now, who in gods name will i get to go with me? everyone i know who likes xiu xiu is a wanker..

cus i am sick of wearing my winter jacket and not looking fly, and i cus say so.
