[Deleted member 15344]

You crack me up..... got an excuse for everything.

We are talking about how Sky are currently potraying the Prem as the best league at the moment and you are dribbling on about finals in the 50's and 60's

So currently right now tell me why the Prem isnt the best league at the moment

I am sure you can agree that the teams from 5th down really are not as fantastic as Sky make out tho?

.
What some are saying it is not as big as the English press/fans think it is.

Are Sky not press now

No.......press is written.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

And Sky has press reporters as well

Have a good evening

1950's?

Even Liverpool don't live that far in the past.

Sure the big cup did not start til mid 50's and it took about 10-12 years to get a winner from outside 3 cities.....

... and it's Dundee United by the way.

Surely a misnomer for any Scottish team - or other enitiy for that matter!

Hope you Southerners are looking over your shoulders.
The Scottish team is now only 11 places below you and catching up fast!

Actually I think its great to see. Testament to the progress Strachan is making and the decent run of results the Scots are getting. As usual, we're stagnating

I found it hard to believe that Scotland were 13th in the world only a few years ago.

Quite happy with 22nd feels about right,

Yes - that was a bit amazing - I think England were 12th when we got to 13 - in fact did we very briefly head in England in the rankings around then?

22nd? - yes - I can fairly easily think of 21 teams who I would not be comfortable about us beating. Note the positive slant to that - I could have said 21 teams that we'd probably lose to But I'm feeling a bit 'glass is half full' about Scotland at the moment. More so than about our rugby team I'm afraid.

Well I can add the pessimistic Scot in the equation.....

I'm sure we'll have plummeted down the rankings again by the time they need to seed the pots for the next qualifying campaign..... :mmm:

 

[Deleted member 15344]

The rankings are never really taken seriously - I remember two years ago they had England higher than Germany !

I keep thinking Scotland punch above their weight at rugby but on the Scotland Debate site I keep hearing that Scotland is the same size as the United States of All Blacks

In terms of population I think you are just higher than them by the odd million

Liverpool have not won the English Premier League.
