CIS Insurance Cup
Dundee Utd v Rangers, Final, 15:00

With the Celtic game being Cancelled I'm left with just the Arsenal game today. Boro should beat Arsenal, if traditional rules of upset results were to apply. But they won't. They'll still be too busy being moody about the Cardiff result to try things like passing to each other or tying up their laces. Expect an inordinately dull 2-0 win for Arsenal.

Best of luck to Dundee United as a non-Old Firm team in a cup final on Sunday, but I can't see anything other than a Rangers win.

Bonus YouTube video everyone who watches Match of the Day and Sky Sports Soccer Saturday should give a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MusyO7J2inM

Derby 0-0 Man Utd @ Half time - they could be winning, but for poor finishing. Their chances all fell to Kenny Miller.

Nigel Reo-cokehead scores a 25 yarder Into his own goal Pompey 2-0 up on Villa

I can't believe I decided to watch the Manchester United game expecting loads of goals, and it's the only game with none! :@

Poor Derby. Thinking Chelsea are right back in this title race now, no reason why they can't win it.

Awright · 15th March 2008, 4:40pm

Chelsea have always been in it. Everyones saying Arsenal or Man Yoo but Chelsea have been winning week in, week out and still have Man Yoo and Arsenal at home.

Chelsea have a manager who so far has bottled the big games. Beat in the Carling Cup final and knocked out the FA Cup. He's also got problems with squad selection since now everyone is fit and back from ACN duty.

Weird fact: The ref in the Man United game just came off to be replaced.

Before Man U scored, all the teams had played the same number of games and there was only 2 points between 1st and 3rd. Imagine if Chelsea did win it, i don't think they've topped the league the only season.

Well done to East Fife for winning the 3rd Division today.

Stew · 15th March 2008, 4:54pm

What a day for Freddie Sears. The 18-year-old might have scored the winner for West Ham! Fantastic.

Almost as good as the Derby fans singing, "You fat bastard, you fat bastard," at Wayne Rooney.

Cumnock - Auchinleck game for me today - crowd of between 4k and 5k I reckon! Finished 1-1, Talbot should've won it though but a daft mistake let Cumnock back into it. Police, their dogs and galloping police on horses were chasing folk through Cumnock after it, fucking mental!
