Hello hello and merry Sunday to you. If you’re in the UK, you’ll be basking in that warm glow of both the sun being out but also the fact that tomorrow is bank holiday Monday. Meanwhile, in Cowdenbeath, things are off to a great start in our attempts to defend our domestic and European titles. We’ve got the World Club Cup and European Super Cup to compete for in this episode so let’s get into it.

We’re more clinical than fluid so far this season and Haifa do a really good job of keeping us out. Eventually, Tarlue breaks the deadlock and one goal is enough. The Champions League group is a lot of miles but so far, not a lot of competition.

This is a blow. He’s really good. Whoever fractured his skull in training should sleep with one eye open.

Partick Thistle are always slightly annoying and as usual they half our lead and sort of lightly threaten to equalise but don’t.

Great news over in Glasgow as Celtic drop yet more points.

The carbonated beverage cup sees us edge past another nuisance side in Clydebank. Seal is never going to survive unless he gets a little crazy.

Division 2 Ayr in the final, of course.

Back to league action and Dunfermline leave it late to ruin our clean sheet but it is materless.

Rangers’ turn to drop points this week.

Off to Georgia we go where luckily KOTR isn’t involved but we share 5 goals with Dinamo Tblisi and by share I mean we score one more. It is a rough evening though as both Tarlue and Syx pick up two week injuries.

We tough it out at Hearts, another of my “favourite” grounds but no such disasters this time.

Rangers are still holding out hopes of reeling us in and go 2-0 up in the first 10 minutes. We’re really not good but some half time bollockings see us score three in 6 minutes. Job done. Except it’s not, because they’re a nuisance who equalise with 4 minutes to go.

Two days later we get to play for a Cup we’ve yet to win. Second division Ayr give us quite the fright and I have to bring on the big hitters who sort things out in a mighty 12 minute spell. A trophy is a trophy.

Two days later (again) and the squad is screaming with low condition for the visit of Galatasaray. We find a way though, as we always seem to, and win 4-1.

That books us a place in the last 8 with a game to spare.

Another Saturday-Monday turnaround sees Airdire visit Central Park and a rotated squad struggles to break our opponents down. Eventually Weah Junior Junior secures the points.

No sooner has the whistle gone we’re on the flight to Japan for the World Club Cup final. These games are always a bit weird, nobody turns up to watch and the non-European team are quite stubborn. It takes extra time and Willie Woods loves the big occasion. Job done, trophy two in the bag.

With that sorted out it’s back to the more realistic surrounds of Starks Park, where our game with Raith Rovers brings double the attendance to that of Japan’s National Stadium. We win 4-1 and a man called Beaver scores past us. Make your own jokes.

It’s a perfect 6 wins out of 6 in the Champions League though as our trip to Israel sees Pavdog have another memorable evening, taking his tally for the week to 5 goals. Even the 1-2-3 kid scoring an own goal doesn’t ruin the night, and if you get that reference you have my respect.

Confirmation of what a great time we had.

Oh good it’s Celtic. Over 2 legs. They’re clearly not the force they were since Man Utd robbed all their best players but you just don’t know what to expect.

An International break merely riles Pavlov up and he continues his great form to see off Hibs. We’re unbeaten this season, remember.

That should come under threat as we travel to Celtic Park where traditionally we have not exactly excelled. If this is a warm up for March though then we have nothing to fear, we batter them to death from the early minutes and continue punching their sorry faces until the end, running out 5-0 winners.

25 shots to 3. We were the away team! It’s sweet that we have managed to not only close the gap but create a chasm of our own.

The best Boxing Day on record also sees Rangers slip up at Clydebank.

I’ve said it before but Clydebank are a madness of a team and nothing sums that up more than this game where we lead 1-0 and our visitors are down to 10 men. Despite barely having a kick, they score twice in a minute to threaten our long unbeaten record only for Syx and Pavdog to settle any nerves.

We end the year 9 points clear and in total command. Wild that we are responsible for a third of the goals Celtic have shipped.

The dog is at it again at home to Partick Thistle. It’s irrelevant really but it’s amazing how many teams get consolation goals against us, we don’t exactly shut up shop.

European Super Cup action now and a two legged affair sees us off to Highbury. Vieira (woooah) is sent off for a deliberate handball and the form man steps up…and is denied by their keeper who saves just about everything. That is until the 86th minute when Vincken, who’s had minimal opportunities, prods in a rebound to ensure we head back to Scotland with a lead.

What this team really needs is the infamous Icelandic regen, unavailable for so long due to not fancying a move to lowly Cowdenbeath and then being too pricey.

Our European wins have boosted the coffers after spending big on Gazza Junior last summer and with Ajao still out, it’s £8.5m well spent.

As usual we’re in total control against Dunfermline but then a late wobble opens the door, twice in fact, so we settle for a 3-2 win.

If anybody is going to beat us it’ll be somebody like Hearts, who have been a pain in the hoop since we got here. They lead for half an hour which is more than most this season but one of our special half time chats sees us score 3 in 8 minutes and keep the run going. Obviously we let them get one back late on because we’re adrenaline junkies at the end of the day.

Rangers slip up at Airdrie this time. It’s funny because it’s not us.

Time for another cup competition! The sixth and final tournament we can enter is here as we look to win the…sextuple? I thought they closed that place down. As is tradition, we storm into a 4-0 lead and then spend the last 25 minutes defending like we’re playing What’s the time Mr Wolf? Look, you’ve got to make your own fun sometimes.

Part 3 of the, sigh, Sextuple, is finishing the job in the second leg against Arsenal. A needlessly filthy evening sees us win 1-0 and that’ll do for me.

Nice.

It’s been a bit of a turbo update so let’s call it there. We have an 11 point lead, we’ve won 3 trophies, we’ll be going all out next week to complete the ultimate season.

It’s a bit mad that bottom of the table have scored only 5 goals less than Celtic…and 6 more than Hearts. Not our problem. See you next week for the run in!
