"As one sage once put it, it's the hope that kills you.
"Hope was what had overcome the Tartan Army and, let's be honest, the nation's media too as Gordon Strachan took over a punch-drunk Scotland squad and threatened to turn them into a group capable of returning to major competition."

Moeen Ali and Alex Hales failed with the bat in England's final warm-up game before the first Test against Pakistan.
With England looking for an opener to partner Alastair Cook, neither managed double figures on the second day against Pakistan A in Sharjah.
Moeen pushed to second slip for seven, and Hales, in his first innings of the tour, edged to first slip for nine.
That left England, who will bat for the entire day, struggling at 16-2 in reply to Pakistan A's score of 192-12.
Both sides made an arrangement that each team bat one day of the two-day, 15-a-side match.
The first of three Tests in the United Arab Emirates begins on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi.

Yep... he is still talking.
"I am not here to say that against Tottenham we will see the all new LFC. But I hope there will be a little bit of the new LFC. That would be cool. These things take time."
On the transfer policy and set-up at the club: "It is no problem. We have spoken about it and it is nothing. If smart and intelligent guys sit together and they want the same, where is the problem? I don't want to spend money we don't have. Nobody wants to transfer a player without a yes from me."
Can we expect to see a firm grip on proceedings from the German?

More coming in from new Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp:
"I am here because I believe in the potential of the team. In this moment we are not the best team in the world, but who cares? We want to be the best team in the world in the future. There are problems, you need to solve them. We have good defenders, strikers and midfielders. First game is Tottenham. We need to make a team for this game. I want these guys."
On what style of football he will bring: "A wild one. In these days in football, all the world-class teams play possession football. I like to watch this. But nobody starts as a ball possession team. The first thing is always to have a stable defence. You can only stay confident when you know each offensive move from the opposition is a goal. Let's try to be the hardest team in the world to beat."
