At the top of the SPL this season! With Rangers beating Celtic on Saturday to go two points clear of their bitterest rivals, Celtic regained top spot with a win over Dundee United on Tuesday night, putting the pressure onto Rangers, who as usual seemed to faulter and ended up drawing against Hibs, leaving Celtic top by the slenderest of margins (Celtic’s goal difference is a mere 2 goals greater) Anyway it makes for an interesting final 2 games of the season thats for sure!
Last night I was praying that Wigan could get some sort of result against Champions elect Man Utd at the JJB stadium, but it wasn’t to be, despite a spirited performance from Wigan. My thoughts were if Arsenal can defeat United or get a point along with Wigan, then Man Ud would have to send a good squad to Hull on the final day of the season, rather than resting all their big players for the Champions League final! Oh well.. Come on Arsenal 
Been busy as hell at work, not helped by having 2 hours off to go on a bit of a random drive on Tuesday afternoon, to help Mark out who wouldn’t have been back from Wales in time. As a result I had loads to do, so found myself in at 7am along with Maddsy as we both worked through our work, with him being in Amsterdam as of this morning, until the end of the weekend, as a Birthday treat from his mother-in-law and her fella. Was in early again today to get some more stuff done, and it’s been pretty busy again too.
Saturday I got a text from Joe, and another a few days ago giving me his new number. For some stupid reason it got me thinking bout the past, and for that reason I couldn;’t sleep last night, finding myself watching Charlies War till I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer.
Seems the dreaded “Man-Flu” exists after some research by some Geeky people known as scientists haha! Ok maybe I’ve embelished a little on the research, but it turns out Women are better at fighting off colds and coughs…
Men really do have an excuse for supposedly being wimpy about coughs and colds – their immune systems are not as strong as women’s, research suggests.
A Canadian study indicates that the female sex hormone oestrogen gives women’s immune systems added bite at fighting off infection.
Oestrogen seems to counter an enzyme which blocks the inflammatory process.
The McGill University study appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers focused on an enzyme called Caspase-12, which is known to put a brake on the inflammatory process, the body’s first line of defence against harmful invaders such as bacteria and viruses.
They worked on mice that lacked the Caspase-12 gene, and were thus extremely resistant to infection.
The human Caspase-12 gene was implanted into a group of male and female mice, but only the males became more prone to infection.
More of the report HERE from the BBC Website
Ha I knew women were better than men LOL. Have a great weekend.
Actually, potentially, this enzyme could mean that women are actually weaker than men. But I love the continued ‘man-flu’ theme on this blog.
Beware ManUre putting a weakened team out in the last game of the season. Done for us before now.
Women are weaker then their male counterparts aint they? *does not wanna start a sexist storm on his blog*
And I remember that Manure game when Tevez seemed to “Ghost ” past the Manure defence and slotted home to keep the nasty hammers in the top flight. Watched the Wigan vs Sheff Utd game that day praying you stayed up mate
Ooh, I’d better stay out of this Tevez debate, but for what it’s worth it sounds like his agent is a real barstard.
