secondly - this is isnt rangers or celtic touting themselves at all - this is people in england within which ever circle making waves and leaking stuff to the press....because of the names of the old firm they are potential money makers..
and to jaysay - you say our league can be decided before a ball is kicked - how many of the 2 teams in the premiership can win that league - thats right...2! chelsea or man utd ( what again?) nearly a one horse race that league....almost as predictable as ours!!
and you dont have to go about how loonypool or arsenal have a chance - both those clubs will never win that league - it would take a very poor man utd and chelsea for that to happen and it wont, it will always be the same 2 - like it is in scotland.
and why the big hoo ha IF it were to happen - cardiff & swansea play in the english leagues - don't hear anyone say for them to get back to the welsh league..?
this non story crops up every now and again and 10 years ago when it was new news it was exciting - but now - well its boring to be honest..and it wont happen ever too much red tape between fifa and uefa..it would open the floodgates round europe and there too much money would be lost...
I would rather have a british cup of sorts...

Your Arguments don't add up GG, the welsh clubs have been in the English league for many years, well long before I was born. You say its not about the Money, that's the only thing I ever here from anyone at Rangers or Celtic, is what they could do with the TV money if thy were playing in England, you say Liverpool or Arsenal will never win the Prem, your wrong, these things go in cycles, Liverpool were once the top dogs, I think United's Buble will burst when Fergie goes, winning things ain't just about money its about money combined with good coaching, if it were money alone why did the likes of Leeds, Newcastle and Spurs not win it, Rovers had that for a short time. Just one final question who was the last team to win the Scottish league and when in fact the leading top division winners in England are Liverpool who will be equalled this year by United 19 each I think, whats the scores on the doors in Scotland
