Angry Fans

It’s a big week for the Champions League and soccer correspondent Liam Mackey sticks out his neck to predict the four semi-finalists.

And what a difference a week makes . . . with Steve Staunton’s national team the only side to raise a cheer for Ireland. There’s satisfaction that the Premiership is still live going into April and even more satisfaction that Liverpool aren’t going to ground share with Everton. There’s bewilderment over why Setanta purchased the rights to the FA Cup, and even more strange, the England team, and the suggestion that Roman’s ex might take over at Arsenal. And there’s Roy Keane. He hasn’t gone away you know

Letter of the week goes to Niall Delaney of Dublin for comparing this Premiership campaign to 1996 and the famous Arsenal season of 1989. The prize is already in the post.
