Robbored Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Scotland have always been crap. Their SPL is a two horse race every season. There’s no other serious competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this online comment the other day after the Old Firm: “As a Celtic fan, I always prefer it when our nearest rivals are strong, competitive and pushing us all the way. That’s why I’m so happy to see Aberdeen playing the way they are”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, how many teams do you think should be challenging for the title every season in a league which has far fewer resources, teams and general interest outside it's own nation?

So about as competitive as Celtic winning it pretty much every year North of the border, where it isn’t even a two horse race anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen or Hearts could win the Scottish title but they won’t ! Just like Newcastle, Villa or Man Utd won’t win the premier league this season. In England you have 3 teams out of 20 that are likely to win the league and in Scotland you have 2 teams out of 12. Not much difference really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you in any way worried about how your own posts contradict yourself almost straight away? You say here “4 or 5” & then you name six, the other day you couldn’t recall something you had posted in a thread that was less than an hour before. Of course you could be entirely comfortable with posting any old shit that immediately contradicts the last thing you have said, but at the very least I would suggest maybe thinking about what you’re actually saying a little bit more.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I don't discuss the PL much these days but 3 contenders tops. 5 or 6 points may not seem much- but the way the top 3 have set off and increasingly can do, it is! IMO Chelsea, Man United and Tottenham already out of it. Newcastle have 7 points but their underlying Performance flatters this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be amazed if United make the top 6 this season. Aberdeen have a chance of splitting the old firm this season. United are currently 66/1 to win the title with Paddy Power and Aberdeen are 25/1 so the bookies certainly don’t have the opinion the two sides have the same chance of winning their respective titles.

That's not what you said though. You claimed that 4 or 5 clubs COULD win the PL (then named 6). Southampton COULD win the PL. I think Celtic will walk the league with Rangers 2nd and Aberdeen.
