so, i was bored today....(again)
and i decided to do a bit of polishing up on my world soccer knowledge.
let's see what i fould pretty astounding.
ENGLISH PREMIER:
dominating team in the 1980's : liverpool
dominating team in the 90's : man u
team to come on strong lately, late 90's: arsenal
am i generalising too much here to say arsenal will be one of the top teams to reach the finals for the next 3-4 years....????
_______________________________________________
SCOTTISH PREMIER:
been following this league since i was a kid....
two teams that stand out:
rangers and celtic.
man, if you had bet these teams at home...or parlayed them over the last 3 years....geez..............

celtic
2002 - 03 : 15 - 1 - 1 ( W/D/L)
2001 - 02 : 18 - 1- 1
2000 - 01 : 17 - 1- 1
