Some big ones on today, and Sportsnet in Canada showing Dundee v St Mirren live, Buddies needing to better Hamiltons score to guarantee staying up
QotS likely to avoid relegation, Clyde-Annan should be intersting, and Cove likely to replace Berwick in Divi 2

Hoping, against hope really, that Watford can stop the treble, and Christine Sinclair will inch closer to the all time international goal scoring record against Mexico

And an interesting finale to the Bundesliga---can Bayern lose it after having it pretty much all wrapped up?

Hamilton Had a few good chances v St Mirren mid week and didn’t take them St Mirren struggled against ten men till late on McAllister is the key player for them
I thought momentum would at least mean St Mirren wouldn’t get beat today and the Hamilton game would depend on if St Johnstone were up for making a game of it

Hoping Hamilton get relegated - their survival is down to anti football and their home record on a crappy wee plastic pitch. See Livingston's home record this season to find another team dragging our game down whilst surviving in the top division. People admiring their fighting qualities can't think straight.

Edit*

Hibs over the years have sent players out on loan to Berwick, if Berwick were to join the English leagues, since they are part time, if a hibs player were to join Berwick on loan, would hibs have to shell out travel fees to go down places in the North of England or would Berwick be given money from the FA for travel?

They have plastic pitches which they train on every day and therefore gives an unfair advantage over the visiting team. They can water the pitch or leave it dry depending on opposition. The very reason they are banned from the top flight in England, but the muppets who run our game see nothing wrong in tin pot clubs using this method to stay in the top league and thus deny more deserving teams a crack at the whip. Shout their praises if you want but the sooner Livi, Killie and them get booted out the better.

Fair enough if you not a fan of plastic pitches but think people like to make a bigger deal out of them than they should. I'm sure all teams theis days have access to them on a Daily basic

Think you just proved my point Tin pot clubs ? moer Deserving teams ? If they where more deserving the would be playing in the top flight right now, should not be all about how many fans you can pull. beside dont thies teams have 1000's of more fans should that not be better able to handle the finacle off set of teams who plays on plastic:confused:

Think you find the real reason there not in the English leagues is the amount of Tv money they have down there and most clubs can afoard not to have them, beside im sure they all have them in there training ground and train on them. Think most countrys our sizes have them too in there top flight cause we all dont have acess to the millons of pounds the bigger league have.

It annoys me that more money was given by government to the planning of Wembley stadium than the SFA received for hampden.

Liverpool’s net spend in the last 4 years is something like £140m compared to about £400m+ for City

so, man city have purchased another trophy

Their net spend over the last 4 years is the highest in world football according to this...

https://www.football365.com/news/europes-biggest-net-spends-since-2015-bournemouth-leapfrog-liverpool

As others have said, half that team came through the ranks.

Where Man Utd did spend large sums of money, it was earned through footballing achievement over decades. City's money comes from a seemingly limitless source that has nothing to do with earlier success and the rewards it brings. They're actually currently under investigation for breaking FFP rules for disguising massive inputs of money from their owner as legitimate sponsorship income..

I have no personal dislike of Man City but, like Chelsea's earlier success, it just seems so artificial.

Doesn't matter. If Hibs had an owner like that I'd be lapping it up.

The point is, money or no money, he players still have to win the games and the manager needs to coach them effectively which they do and he has.

Football purists can admire the football which is sublime and devastating at times, but there's just something missing from the mix.

Manchester City have won only two titles up to the middle of the 2011 season, hence their irrelevance to Manchester United. Since then they've win four titles taking them into seven, still well behind Manchester United.

I really hate monopoly capitalism. But the football at the top level in England and particularly across European competition has been out of the world the last two years. Insane comebacks, all out attacking, two all time great players and a once in a generation crop of English and French young players. If you like football it's hard not to like.

He's had crisp packet hands for 90% of his career, yet when he was pitched into the Derby as a 17 year old as Hearts' 29 first choice goalkeepers were injured, he kept a shut out.
