Hate to say it, but congrats to Man U. Been a while since we last had a league winner at this stage.

And as per usual you just post a load of shyte!!

p.s the EBT's started in 2000.

p.p.s they were 100% legal.

p.p.p.s the FTT found us NOT LIABLE.

p.p.p.p.s Celtic used them too.

Week 30 results.

Only 4 weeks left and it looks like the league is imitating real life...a runaway leader and a battle royal for 4th spot as RC puts on the burners, must be all those Empanadas he's scoffing...is it too little too late for Mx?...

SC - 3 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 12 pts

Mx - 2 Correct Results + 3 Correct Scores = 11 pts

RC - 5 Correct Results + 2 Correct Score = 11 pts

RD - 4 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 10 pts

DR - 2 Correct Results + 2 Correct Scores = 8 pts

JL - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

LG - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

OT - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

PD - 4 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 7 pts

AM - 3 Correct Results + 1 Correct Score = 6 pts

EP - 6 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 6 pts

MM - 6 Correct Results + 0 Correct Scores = 6 pts

?? - 1 Correct Result + 1 Correct Score = 4 pts

I haven't given up on 2nd or 3rd... Cue slip down to 8th!

I know most people don't give a toss about football north of the border but this, I found quite interesting...

Celtic won the SPL title at the weekend. Has there been a more meaningless title win in the history of football?

Stuart McCall should get manager of the year north of the border though. As it stands, his Motherwell side have picked up more points away from home than Celtic.

That is some achievement in a league that is normally a two-horse race. Except they shot the other horse last summer.

I was hoping for a Villa win last night so that Man Utd would go to the Effeminates next Sunday and win the title there which would have given Spurs a boost in their aspirations of finishing in the top four. I'm now suspecting that the Man Utd line-up will probably look a little like this next Sunday: Lindegaard - Buttner Wootton Tunnicliffe M Keane - Anderson Kagawa Powell Nani - Hernandez Welbeck.

[red devil]

Would love us to return the favour Jah. Fergie seems quite keen to try and get the points record, so I think he will put out a decent team including RVP, just to rub their noses in it :)...

[Jah Lush]

I bloody hope so. It wouldn't be like Fergie to take his foot off the pedal and I'm sure he'd like to get one over Arsene just for old times sake.

[Chillaxed]

And Rafa too when Chelsea visit Old Trafford please.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I have your back SC(lots of letters and numbers). A hollow victory indeed.

[Mick Mac]

Have you been drinking PGC. You are normally so noble.

[red devil]

Blimey, didn't see that coming, Barca whipped in Teutonic stylee...

[Mick Mac]

Bayern could be favs now. What dya think.

[Mick Mac]

I see I got 6 correct results. Only RC beat me.

I did. And I thought they were terrific (note to BFS, that's how you play with muscle and power but with added skill and tactical knowhow). Possession and tippy-tappy is attractive but has its limits, especially when your defence is sus. (Arsenal found that out a while back).

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

There might have been a wee drop of the grape. Sour ones at that.

Bayern's win didn't surprise me, just the manner and margin of it. As good as Bayern look, I have a hunch the winner of the competition will come from tonight's match, should be another cracker...

Twice at the lane, once at the swamp, and once at the Pool. Oh no they can't take that away from me. I hope Van Pussy plays too, I want Jack Wilshere to clatter him.

The sam little boy also said "This is the best team for me to be in. The bottom line is that I want to win trophies with Arsenal. Not anybody else" C**t

[Parkdrive]

Whilst on the subject of detested players, I sse there's a hue and cry in the papers to have Suarez hung, drawn and quartered for biting. Shame there wasn't the same reaction when Defoe bit Mascherano a while back. Funny that.

Say what you need to say, both are quotes from the same "little boy", and the Defoe bite went off with out much of a fuss. I don't advocate such behaviour by either player, just stinks of inconsistency.
