Serious question. Does it not get a tad boring tubbing sides with League 1/2 budgets 5-0 every week? Yes another title, wooo! Stick it to the Huns!

But a little empty after a while?

At this point it's pretty much just a participation award for Celtic.

Ligue 1 with worse weather. Shame as positions 3-12 in the Scottish Prem are usually a constantly changing entity year by year, but well overshadowed by the 'Oxford won the boat race because Cambridge sank' above them.

That’s an interesting comparison. Never heard of folk comparing the Scottish Premiership with French top flight football before. I don’t take too much interest in French football, so I can’t really comment although a fair few leagues in Europe will surely have worse weather than those in France.

Ligue 1 is infinitely better than the Scottish Premiership.

I meant the perpetual one horse race at the top overshadowing what everyone else is doing.

Much like the Bundesliga of recent.

However, Bayern's dominance is more due to how the TV rights are negotiated in Germany as each club negotiates individually, or they did I'm not sure if they changed that.

Below them though it's unbelievably competitive and the 50+1 rules for club ownership are a huge factor in that. Interestingly, Bayern are trying to abolish this rule.

The SPL has always been a joke since it's very inception, there's only ever been two teams dominant and now there's not even that. IMO it really needs sorting out.

Just pre empting next season, Luca Stephenson at Dundee on loan from Liverpool.  Seems stats wise to be doing well, similar path to Beck.

Got to say I can’t help but have a wry smile at the moaning, bleating and outrage from United fans, at the Rangers fans being in the home areas at Old Stratford. 

For years this lot have been in home ends across the country, well you got a bit of your own medicine and you don’t like it, food for thought maybe……

I sat in the home end at Anfield once.  Some people from work got me a ticket to watch rovers Liverpool for my birthday.  I kept looking at this guy 4 seats down from me he stared at me.  It was Mark Wright.  This was in 1998

Sounds like Alan’s Partridge’s Blue Peter Purvis anecdote.
