I've no been offshore in months. They pay me the big bucks without having to go on a chopper these days.
We can all laugh and sneer but the one thing that is consistent, is that Barcelona gets it difficult to beat British sides. Barcelona's record against Celtic over the last 8 0r 10 years doesn't frighten us. To have success tonight it is obvious that Celtic defend in big numbers, but there is no point in us thinking their defence is the weak par of the team and not test them out. I hope we don't finish the game tonight without testing their goalie and defenders.
My team for what it is worth is Forester Lustig Ambrose Wilson Mulgrew Brown Kayal Victor Ledley Sammy Hooper.
A mixture of excitement and trepidation ahead of tonight's game. We go into the game as massive underdogs. A draw would be an amazing result but avoiding a heavy defeat would be welcome too. Nervous as **** but looking forward to it. Team news to follow.
Last three results when we've visited the Camp Nou 25/03/04 Barca 0 Celtic 0 24/11/04 Barca 1 Celtic 1 04/03/08 Barca 1 Celtic 0 Nothing to lose. Getrightintaethem
Forster Lustig Ambrose Wilson Mulgrew Brown Kayal Victor Ledley Commons Sammy Possibly Sammy in place of Commons on the wing and Hooper up front. 4-3 Barca, Messi hat trick and partying long into the night
To be fair, the guy who started goes "How many will Barca win by? 11? 12?" and the first comment is that Super Jack Wilshire guy asking "Have you actually seen Celtic this season?" I may have mentioned it already but I'm a wee bit excited.
I can't keep my legs still, after the last game I was buzzing for days, if we lose by 1 goal or better still tonight I will have Parkinsons.
