Blast!! :(

And damn.

Yep Calum,one of the most interesting Premier league run ins,top and bottom,for a long while for the neutral.

Thanks for the update, ER. Inverness on a horrible run under new manager Hughes, though they scraped home in the prickly derby. Hereford sailing close to the drop (and more forum teams seem in danger of relegation than promotion or title-winning). Quite a lot of Premiership teams playing poorly atm so it's still unpredictable at the bottom.

St Mirren 0 St Johnstone 1. Buddies can't buy a win at he moment.

It just gets worse and worse, Rob! The only comfort, if such a word can be used at a time like this, is that there's a few bunches of dumplin's down there with us still as we head for the split.
Danny the manager has now started talking about himself in the third person in interviews...always a worry I think...even he is trying to distance himself from his self!

Got to say bbm that I was pleased to see that Best's side won!

Would you care to explain the Split,and the. Labyrinthine complexities of the SPL, JC?

Seems confusing to us down here.

Any chance of catching a play off game on Skye in May?

Thanks for the excellent roundup, ER, top stuff.
I was at SMS to see Saints demolish the Toon today.

Sorry to say this BBM, but the toon were a poor outfit indeed. An on form Saints took them apart, and could have had had a cricket score. Beautiful football from our lot once again. We are fortunate to be able to see such great stuff so often.
