The_Rev Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Some Scottish stuff. Celtic blew a 2-0 lead and lost 3-2 against Ross County. Their lead at the top of the SPL has been cut to 5371 points. Rangers lose 2-1 at home to the mighty Annan Athletic. Their lead at the top of Scottish division 3 has been cut to 3485 points. Stirling 9-1 East Stirling. Bit shit losing like that to local rivals, isn't it? They aren't from the same town though, Stirling are the town team, East Stirling take their name from the county of Stirlingshire and they play 15 miles away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Plenty of goals again in the Scottish 3rd div again, only Elgin Peterhead let down an over 2.5 goals accy. Last week there were at least 4 goals in every game in that division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) 29:24 30:39 32:46 Timings of Wigan's three goals against Everton. Two hundred seconds or so by my count, probably less if you only include time the ball was in play. With 35,000 people at the game, what are the odds of somebody nipping for a piss and 0-0 and missing three goals? **edit** Zlatan with more goals for PSG too. Scored twice today, which means 30 in 35 since signing for the club (24 in 25 in the league) which is prolific by anybodies standards. PSG are still only just top of the French League though, it's looking like a four horse race between PSG, Lyon, Marseilles and St Etienne. It must be nice for people of a certain age to see St Etienne back at the top of the table considering their history.

coda Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If Wigan get the winner of Millwall/Blackburn they could make the final. The final is the weekend before we play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 watching highlights of QPR/Sunderland. Only one team looked like Championship bound and wasnt QPR. horrible performance and a manager that looked clueless. The MON myth is slowly being destroyed especially with United, Chelsea and Newcastle in next 4 games 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaForever1970 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Too good to be true for O'Neill to get relegated, the media wouldn't be able to cope either.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Sunderland bottom of the form table at the moment. They have Norwich at home next, which they simply have to win because their next few games after Norwich are Manchester United (H), Chelsea (A), Newcastle (A), Everton (H) and then us (A) They could be in deep shit by the time they turn up at Villa Park. Six points is a decent cushion at this time of year but it's not a completely safe one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Leo Messi was three minutes away from losing his scoring streak (he had scored in 16 consecutive league games for Barcelona) then this happened: http://youtu.be/lfaKsmb-JYo Football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 There was definitely some tired defending, the first player who stepped out to challenge Messi was kinda phoning it in, but the control and movement were excellent. The finish was exquisite. 51 goals in 41 games this season, Barcelona still have a minimum of 13 and a maximum of 18 games to play depending on how the Champions League goes. He might not beat 73 goals this time but you would fancy him to be close if Barcelona beat Milan and don't run out of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotze is only 20, has 20 full international caps and two title medals. The level of young talent coming out of Germany at the moment is frightening. We are being left way behind.
