Actually, I quite agree. Truth be told, if it had been the Celtic of two years ago it wouldn't have went to the last game. They'd have won it weeks ago.
Rangers didn't win the league this year. Celtic threw it away. As you said, their legs aren't what they used to be.

Still, supposedly you're getting a good chunk of £15 million plus the ginger terror for a manager. Its not all bad.

*Mal wonders how confused he'll be if Celtic have a manager he actually likes*

Still, it'll be interesting to see how next year goes. I don't see much sign of Rangers strengthening a team that'll be whipped in Europe next year. But, as champions, we'll at least get one stage further than I thought we'd get. The third round.

It's weird that the FA Cup has come down to being a consolation prize these days, but it's true.

I think it'll be worth it if we can beat Arsenal for the fourth/fifth time this season (depending on how you count the league cup games).

Trust Liverpool to threaten to detroy a potentially exciting final.
Still, if Chelsea **** up, my money's on Milan cleaning up.

They still have better odds than Manchester United of winning the Premiership, which I find ludicrous. United have a far stronger squad than Arsenal.

Wasn't a bad effort I s'pose...

Dominant display and result by NZ. Shame O'Driscoll got injured though. However I doubt it would have changed the end result.

Now, that clean sweep looks promising.......

Sure. But if you win it be such disgustingly dangerous tackles in every match, I hope you lot are ashamed of yourselves. O'Driscoll could well have had worse than a dislocated shoulder.

Well, at least now seventh spot is good enough for europe

UP THE SPURS!!

Looking forward to the next Lions v AB test match this weekend.

Looks like Woodward has made plenty of changes too by selecting more Welsh players.

Hopefully there will be no more injuries either - unintentional or otherwise.

On a slightly lighter note:

!!HOT OFF THE PRESS!!

All Black Captain Tana Umaga has redeemed himself from a week of controversy by phoning crocked Lions rugby captain Brian O'Driscoll to apologise for the 'spear tackle' that ended his tour, and revealed to O'Driscoll he would have called sooner but his mobile was 'out of
credit'.

Umaga said he was 'real sorry' about 'Driscoll's injury, but reminded his opposite that rugby was a contact sport and that accidents happen, and if he didn't like it he shouldn't go trying to get the ball when the All Blacks want it.

O'Driscoll expressed his forgiveness to Umaga, explaining he thought the game was supposed to be played under touch rugby rules. He said it was 'swell' of Umaga to call.

The apology has started a flood of similar calls between former rugby foes. Rua Tipoki of NZ Maori has revealed his relief at receiving a
call from Lion Gordon D'Arcy to apologise for the late spear tackle he executed on the centre during the Lions match against NZ Maori earlier in the month.

A tearful Tipoki said "Bro, it's about bl00dy time, eh. I've been sat by the phone for weeks waiting for that neho to call. He could have bl00dy killed me, the b***tard!".

Maori coach Matt Te Pou said he had intended to take a tape of the D'Arcy incident to the press after the Lions v Maori match to protest at the incident, but chose not to "cos only a real f***in whinging loser would do that sort of sh1te eh".

Wayne Shelford has confirmed a call from French Rugby Federation officials, apologising for the impromptu removal of his left testicle
by the French forward pack in 1989.

Johan Le Roux and Sean Fitzpatrick were seen today holding hands in an Auckland park, the pair apparently having made up for their differences from 1994 when Le Roux bit Fitzpatrick's left ear.

Le Roux endorsed the new trend of apologising for every single physical act in a game of rugby. The former Springbok prop said that bottling up all that guilt over the years had made him feel all bad inside and it was good to get it out and reveal his true feelings for Fitzpatrick, who he described as his hero.

Danny Grewcock admitted he "had a bit of ringing round to do".

Richard Loe's phone has been engaged all day.

I can't wait for the 21st May...

FA Cup final (please god don't let Arsenal learn from their mistakes just yet )

and then it's off to the cinema for some Jedi/Sith mega-action.

What the hell am I going to do for the month in the meantime?

[Rich the Great]

Smith isn't afraid to tackle hard, and he is a tireless worker, so he could go far in Keane's role. Not to mention the benefits that he will have when he pushes forward.

[Yellow]

Well played to Liverpool - it was a great game. Carragher was brilliant, Terry was crying and Rafa gets the final.

Pity the goal was so controversial, but Liverpool deserved it in the end, especially after the Carling Cup final.

Good luck in the final.

[caladanbrood]

5-1!!! Thats the third time we've scored 5 at home this season. We rock

And now, finally caught up with Middlesbrug, and they don't have a game in hand any more. Suckers
