Right can someone please tell me how the Scottish premiership works. Theres 12 teams, how many times do they play each other? Im confused because I was reading that Celtic are 2 cvictories away from the title, having played 30 games so far.

After 33 games (each team has played each other 3 times) it splits into a top 6 and bottom 6. They two halves play a further 5 games against the rest of their 'split' group.

Its a ridiculous state of affairs with the teams ranked 7th normally having more points than the 5th or 6th ranked teams.

And to think that Arsenal's squad is not that big, maybe he wants to play more youngsters which will in turn save him from the embarrassing task of telling his so called stars "You are not playing this week"

Anyone else heard the rumour that Didier Drogba is in contract talks with the Harlem Globetrotters ?

Tottenham played 10 (count 'em) british players last night. That must be a record for a premiership team....

Not sure Kelly and Keane would be too happy being called British.

Anyway 8 british players is still a good amount in this day and age.

Russ · 28-03-2006, 10:33

Especially for a London team

Ooops, my mistake. 10 UK & Eire players then. Still a record...

Just like Arsenal V Real Madrid - two english players on the pitch - both playing for the bloody Spanish team!!!

I doubt its a record, when the premiership began there was only 10 foreign (not UK or Irish) players who played on the first day.
