It's happened again. Last season we got the worst Barcelona side for years... and beat them, then a few weeks ago we got the worst AC Milan of all time... possibly and now - according to some - we beat the worst Ajax team in living memory. What are the odds? The teams we play in the CL always seem to have an off night against us when we win or if we play well against them it's only because they are a shadow of their former selves.
It's amazing the number of ****e teams we have beat at Parkhead in the CL over the last 12 years or so. We really are on a roll of good fortune. What is amazing is that before each of these games a "Pumpfest" is usually predicted, obviously these pundits have not been studying the form book and noticed just how very poor our opponents have been in the weeks, months or years leading up to the game. It always comes as a surprise that the Giants who have been slayed seem to have let their own high standards slip so much.
I am detecting a bit if cynicism there Dev..... They are smart enough to only ever watch the games we lose. They must know something.
Yet people wanted rid of lennon at the start of the season. Just goes to show football fans should never be allowed on the board.
Best Brechin side in history. East Fife are world class. CL is ****e. I love their hurt and the best thing is the come onto phone ins and on line and tell us all about it. Ya Dancer Best thing is I suspect that football in Scotland will change forever and SEVCO will be left behind.
The one thing most youngsters are told early in any sporting career, is that you make your own luck. I think that is one of the things Lennon drills into his team pave fore every Champions League match. Tuesday night was a prime example Stokes and Pukki were not exactly testing their goalie , with shots and headers zooming in every few minutes but both worked their guts off pressurising their defence who wanted to stroke the ball around between them before giving it to A mid fielder who had created space . Our two strikers upset that . The whole team worked hard and we got the result .
Superhoper , welcome back , celtic have won 8 of their last 12 home champion league games , Rangers in their history before they died only managed 8 home wins in total .
Harryhood, if Rangers had played by the rules its likely they would have won none. Good job that the tribute team are unlikely to play Champions League this decade .
In my football world there are two definites , The Rangers aided and abetted by the men in the middle and the big Chiefs in Hampden are cheats and there is only one Glasgow Celtic.
