More than a tad OT, but I think you'll both enjoy perhaps the greatest P&B post ever -
"Some say that the exploits of Messi and Ronaldo in their respective careers have set an unfair benchmark for other footballers. Rather than marvel at a 30 goals a season player, we now say 'Aye but Messi got 60'. We've become desensitised to fantastic achievements because the bar has been set so high by two extraordinary individuals. You always think they've peaked but just keep delivering consistently.
In terms of the banter, Rangers are Messi and Ronaldo rolled into one. It's almost dulled the senses to laughing at any other type of footballing failure. 6 years now. 6 fucking years. Every single time you think that they've peaked. With the level of resources at their disposal, they can't sustain this level of ineptitude for much longer and they will turn the tables. And yet it continues.
It's actually massively impressive to have such huge resources with which to get yourself out of these situations yet continue to be a fucking screaming basketcase and smashing head first into crisis after crisis for well over half a decade and showing no signs of slowing.
So I suppose I doff my cap to Rangers for the relentless pursuit of new ways to entertain. In that regard at least, they really are the people. "
Unusually erudite for a St Mirren fan.
