Soccer
Its the last day of the premiership season and the fate of 5 teams still hangs in the balance, top and bottom. Regardless of what happens today this will go down as one of the best, most evenly contested, seasons ever.
At the top its United-Chelsea. Both could still win the title and both could still win the Champions league. I wouldn’t mind if Chelsea won, for Avrams sake, if it weren’t for the fact that they are a team comprised almost exclusively of supreme wankers. Avram Grant has had it pretty tough though and he deserves something, the poor man never seems to smile-he has a face like Lurch from the Adams family. Also, it’d be nice for Fwank Lamphard to win something, he’s had a tough couple of weeks and behaved with incredible grace throughout. Still, Chelsea are cynical pack of wankers…..especially compared to United who always play with real heart and an honesty of commitment(its killing me inside to admit this-Liverpool!!). On balance, I’d go with United.
On the other(much more dramatic) end of the table its a three way triple threat with Birmingham, Reading and Fulham all clinging on for dear life trying to avoid the last relegation spot. As I understand it, they all need to win to stay up but by the same token they all need the other two teams to ‘not win’. Ireland need Reading to stay up so that Hunty, Doyler and LingLong all get premiership football next season and become really good world cup odyssey partaking super players.
Oh and the SPL pretending to be interesting. This year, in a suprise twist, the title holders will either be Celtic or Rangers!!! Rangers are a point down but with a game in hand. Times like these when you miss Henrik Larrsson and Martin O’Neil. Miss Alex Fergusen even more though, when he managed Aberdean it became, briefly, a three team league
GAA mathir-fucker!!!
In the Sunday Tribune theres a list of all the teams and how they stand with regards to the All Ireland Championship . Their top five are Kerry(obviously), Derry(anyone else notice that they rhyme?), Dublin(no, really, this is our last chance: Pillar, Jayo and Whelan are all gone at the end of the season), Cork(lets be honest, nobody wants Cork to win-we’ll never hear the end of it) and Tyrone(of all of them, this is the team I’d least like to play). Papa Rua is happy that Donegal are ranked in 8th, though he expects this to be the highpoint of their season.
On the other end there were no suprises with the exiles coming last. You’d be forgiven for thinking that New York couldn’t do any worse having never won a game(no really, never) but given that the days of mass emigration have come to an end things are hardly gonna get any better.
Rugby
Once more I want to emphasize what a weekend it could’ve been with London Irish playing Munster in the Heineken Cup Final. Every Mick in Europe would’ve come home for it(or at least as far as Wales), there were even plans to have it in Croker. Damn you Tolouse, damn you.
I also realised something about Italian prop Castro Giovanni-he ate all the salami

I don’t think Laois were even that high up in the runnings, mid table for the midlands
