Hearts 2
Rangers 1
Just about does it for the Huns,… unless total chaos occurs it’s a two horse race, if Hearts slip at all while Celtic hold serve May 16th will be WILD. The flip is if they come right back and beat Celtic that about does it. Hearts will win the first non old firm title since Sir Alex in the 80s

Celtic need a hard reboot this summer regardless of what happens. They need to get younger in the squad and hopefully find a manager who is in the long term and has some kind of vision for the next five years.

The Robbie Keane rumors seem to grow stronger by the week.

Hearts drew today,… tomorrow morning’s Old Firm is now the biggest OF match in what,… about ten years??? Must see TV for anyone who claims to be a soccer fan for sure. I’ll be getting up to monitor my daughter’s attempt at breakfast in bed for my wife while watching the game,… mon the hoops either way

Maeda's goal is one of the greatest in the history of the Scottish Premier League. Insanity.

It’s not just the goal,… it was the importance of it. It knocked gers out of a high stakes hand of hold em at the final table. It’s now a two horse race. I almost would like to see Hearts hold. It should force the board to get serious while obviously helping the league as a whole

Right. The fact that it was Rangers and the moment that it was in make it important. From a skill standpoint, from a wow goal perspective, that goal goes down in history no matter what no matter who he scores against. It was sensational.

The moment the goal was scored in and who it was against, what the timeline was just add to the significance. It was a incredible display of skill.

Is that a picture of the guy? No way he's 16, he's got grey temples for crying out loud.

You could put together a team of guys that DID NOT make this team and they'd be able to get through a group stage. France is absolutely loaded. The attack is stupid good.

England losing Guardiola and Klopp in three years coupled with this Arsenal version of Stoke City winning the title is bad for the Premier League. Get ready for long throw ins, set pieces and time wasting. The richest league on the planet is going to be boring as all hell.

The Guardiola-Klopp Era of the Premier League was golden. Covid cheated us out of a year and a half of it, too.

Unfortunate for the players and supporters, but the right thing to do. Just unreal.

Middlesbrough given a lifeline. I think they beat Hull.

Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough all up in the Premier League is the stuff we deserve.

Arsenal are PL Champs for the first time in 22 years. Papa Wengz has me crying with the video Arsenal made with him. It's a bit unfortunate to celebrate winning a title without even playing, but I'll take it.

I am very curious to see what the next five years look like in the English Premier League with the Guardiola-Klopp Era officially now over. The FA by their own admission wants more parity. Careful what you wish for.

Wonder how long Xabi Alonso lasts at Chelsea.

Would really enjoy seeing 2-4 teams decide to play free flowing attacking football again. Might need to look elsewhere for that, though. I think the days of long throw ins and set pieces are here to stay for a bit.

Just look back to two and three years ago, and now. Arsenal and Man City both put up over 90 goals.

Now, both will have less than 80 (barring City scoring 4+ on Sunday). Wild how quickly that changed.

The league is horrendously boring. I understand those City and Liverpool teams played at a very high level, but you also have Man United, Chelsea and Tottenham down (Spurs way down and almost relegated down).

Then you have Arsenal, who while effective, are not at all enjoyable to watch if you're a neutral.
