    That was roughly the odds my missus was given when she got a coil fitted.


    That was roughly a year before my now 2 year old was born <yikes>

    Anyone brave enough to guess a starting line-up?

    One up front seems obvious but then, we went two up in the Nou Camp.

    Also, Miku, Hooper, Watt, Samaras and Lassad could all play up there - the only certainties I reckon are:

    Forster in goal
    Lustig Ambrose Wilson Matthews as the defensive four (although Mulgrew might start LB but I think we'll see him in midfield tonight)
    Wanyama in midfield - could be alongside a whole host of lineups depending on Broon's fitness, Ledley's groin etc.
    Samaras will start and will be captain but don't know if he'll be up front or out wide.

    Benfica will play an attacking 4-3-3, I think.

    They have lots of quality attacking midfielders - for that reason, I'd suggest 4-5-1 but then, I would've started with that in Barcelona.

    Reckon it'll be the same team which started versus Barca at Celtic Park.

    Forster
    Matthews
    Ambrose
    Wilson
    Mulgrew
    Lustig
    Commons
    Ledley
    Wanyama
    Miku
    Samaras

    Depending on which to of the three make it.

    My prediction if Celtic get a result:

    Huns go into meltdown,
    Certain hun creates about 3 articles about it
    Further beeling from the huns
    huns try to conceal their beel by calling everyone else beelin

    Probably be much the same if we get beat too.

    I was supposed to be in Lisbon tonight but my 2 wingmen pulled out because their company is being bought over and they are facing redundancy - who cares about paying the mortgage man, it's Celtic... Anyway I'm in Glasgow in 2 weeks for the last group game against Spartak, so since I want to keep the group competitive to make the last game more fun, I'm going for a Celtic win this evening and Spartak to beat Barca. Then all we have to do is beat Spartak in two weeks and we win the group, easy <ok>

    What the Portuguese papers are saying

    http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/...-are-saying-about-celtics-match-with-benfica/

    It seems that Jorge Jesus will go with 2 up - Cardozo and Lima - coupled with the attacking midfielders they have, it looks really attacking (win or bust for them).

    They are also going to combat our set pieces by playing their three tallest players together for the first time - Luisao, Matic and Cardozo.

    Could be a night for Hooper (if fit) and Commons in that case.

    I've backed Mulgrew and Sammy as anytime scorers - I think we'll score one and Sammy's scored in 100% of away CL games this year <ok>

    Yeovil changed their strips to green and white hoops deliberately <ok>

    Their chairman said "If we want to play like champions, we need to look like champions"

    But Yeovil are ****e.

    They are famous for winning a big cup match many years ago and still live on the reputation.

    Oh hang on........ <whistle>

    Huns have lost the Big Tax Case...

    All earnings recoverable from employees or their estate.

    RTC: "....I will be going quiet for a few days to fully digest the decision, and to enjoy a whisky and a cigar..." - Well earned pal!
