^ i aint to sure, for some reason the supercup is never that big of an occasion, but thats probly because if a team from your country isnt in it, its completely ignored and well a scottish team has never been in it lol

and yeh, couple of radio's shows and websites talking about how big it will be, when celtic were in the final around 100,000 celtic fans went to seville and that was a plane journey away, this is a trip down the motorway so there expecting double that, gonni be huge lol

[°[~CHR!$~]°]

is actually kinda odd theres the whole rangers - chelsea connection and this year we both have made the final of the uefa and champions leauge respectivly for the first time.

its a fuckin conspiracy (sry for off topic)

[Tornado]

1. when is the supercup played..i think its pre-season or something>?
2. I Think if Rangers win...they'll be more intrest of a british supercup as itll be england v scotland
3. I do fear for Rangers as if St Petersberg do play like they did against Bayern and without cousin, ranges could struggle to score

don't bank on it

usually its after the pre-season freindlies have been played but before the season starts.

2. I Think if Rangers win...they'll be more intrest of a british supercup as itll be england v scotland

yeh itd be even bigger if rangers win the spl and eufa cup, and say chelsea win the premier league and champions league, its like the champions of europe and the champions of britian goin head to head, itd have some hype and build up, and if it was man united itd be even bigger because walter smith was mentored by alex ferguson and its because of ferguson smith even got back into managment, so alot of angles to play on lol

3. I do fear for Rangers as if St Petersberg do play like they did against Bayern and without cousin, ranges could struggle to score

in one way i agree but in the other, cousin plays with no heart, he doesnt care about the badge or the club or his team-mates, he only performs in big games so other clubs will see him and i fucking hate that attitude, so if he could play and scored the winner for us, id love it coz we won but it'd feel 100 times better if darcheville, novo, boyd someone who plays with pride and gives 110% for every ball scored the winner.

vieri is terrible its sad not funny cos for atletico madrid and lazio and inter. he was one of the best finishers ever now look at him

it was like was having a seizure taking that pen


lol if rangers tried to attack theyd get taking apart

but they have a great defense when they play defensive

and zenit have one of their most important players missing
Pavel Pogrebnyak

so i think it will be a close match unlike other people

cant really see gers scoring though

only on a lucky break

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

lol if rangers tried to attack theyd get taking apart

like when we attacked lyon and won 3-0

like when we attacked sporting won 2-0

like when we attacked wreder bremen and won 2-0

or like the 100+ goals we have scored this season, only second to ajax and scored more than manchester united ? (stats taken from around 2-3 weeks ago so it could have changed)


so yeh for a defending team we havent scored many goals, nor have we played any attacking teams and out attacked them /sarcasm

the whole defnsive formation is a tactical decision that works, if you dont lose the away goal at home your in the controling position to attack when you play away from home, only team who were to good for us was wreder bremen and we did defend the whole game, but defending is a part of football and it works.

against zenit


Anyway scottish league is poor its always rangers and celtic
+like 1 or 2 other teams that change every year

they should play counter attack like they have been doing in europe they did well aghainst sporting

scoring two goals on the break

whittakers goal was amazing

manchester united are far above rangers skill wise, and so is the leagues, so it evens itself out.

i mean ronaldo is worth more than the whole rangers team put together.

fair enough

whos watching west ham-man utd

pretty bizarre 3-1 nani sent off for a headbutt all before half time

[Sleepy]

it was stupid and he may miss the final cos of it

i thought riley should have sent neill off instead of a yellow card

he kneed nani in the back and pushed him in the face before the headbutt

chelsea have it tough on monday

pressures on against an in-form magpies team

[Tornado]

Stupid Nani
But I heard That Neil Grabbed his balls but still not acceptable
but nice easy win against a injury full- mid table non ambitious, out of form West Ham...exactly who we wanted to play

[aleXander]

I couldn't see the game. It wasn't on TV here....
But glad to hear Manchester won with 4-1

so....if we win again against Wigan Athletic on 11st May....we will be the premier league champions right?
No matter what Chelsea does with Newcastle today right?

If Newcastle win against Chelsea were champions, if they lose, we have to win against Wigan, and then we will be champions
