Who will win the 2011 Leinster Championship?

A lot of contradicting formlines in there. Louth thumped Kildare in Pairc Tailteann, who in turn had Meath beat but for a case of daylight robbery in the Leinster Final, Meath themselves put five goals on Dublin but were overwhelmed by a rejuvanted Kildare, while the Dubs turned over a Louth side feeling a little bit sorry for themselves. Add in to that the fact that Laois had the eventual Leinster champions on the ropes and on a wet Croke Park afternoon, Wexford came so close to beating subsequent semi-finalists Dublin. All very confusing if you ask me.

The early favourites would look to be born-again Dublin. The shock defeat of Tyrone and the Cork match marked them down as a one of the top sides in Ireland. But can they really be trusted after what went before some of those games? Meath took them apart in devasting fashion and even had most forecasting many barren years. Since that though, Meath bounced and Dublin bounced back. Then there's the story of the season Louth coming so agonisingly close to Louth GAA immorality, and Kildare who were the width of a crossbar away from an All-Ireland Final.

When all is said and done though, Meath will took a fair bit of stopping in their quest for first back-to-back Leinster wins since 1991.

Maybe they'll move Tipp in to make it more competitive. Mind you it didn't work with Galway.

Galway me ****, let them stay their side of the Shannon.

The problem with Galway is, Joe Canning's **** is blocking the goal !

Put him in full back and he'll not let the ball around him.

Who wants to win it?

That is a serious question. Let's face it being provincial winners isn't great at the momet, Antrim, Tyrone, Roscommon, Kilkenny, Meath, kerry and Waterford will hardly be remembered in the years to come.

So predicting provincial winners is rather difficult these days.

A general rule, especially in football, is rule out the best team in the province and go for anyone else.

With the exception of Tyrone , of course.
