Tottenham vs Hearts

Celtic only get the chance to play man utd in the champions league, in 4 games we got one win , one draw , is that not as good as Spurs record in the last ten years who get to play utd twice a season !!! Last season utd played 18 home games in the epl won 17 of them , yet my arch rivals rangers got a draw there!!!

 

Do you know the difference between cup games and league games?

 

Yes three points for a league win , exactly what we got for beating united in the champions league

 

And how did that work out for you?

 

The night we beat utd , we qualified for last 16 , utd had to go to game 6 to qualify. yes ,champions league dreams . After seeing you last night , it will be a long time before your back in it , all you will have is champion league dreams as well!!!

 

And of course, you're in it this year too, aren't you?

 

Hahaha from the man who supports a team struggling to qualify for the Europa League group stages.

Good luck against Sion in the 2nd leg. Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll be thrown out and you'll scrape through.

 

they should be thrown out , playing players that FIFA and uefa barred , though the swizz courts allowed them to play , there is a meeting already planned for Friday morning.The reason we are toiling in the tie, we are without our four best players , all out injured

 

King, Gallas, Modric, Sandro...

 

You've got players worth millions in your squad to replace them , here in Scotland we don't have that luxury

 

That's because you've ruined your league.

 

no the tv money in England ruined the game here in Scotland, how can clubs with no money compete and get fans through the gate , when the epl games are live on the telly

 

The TV money in England came from people having an interest in the league.
That's why the TV money in Scotland is poor.

You've ignored youth development for ages and allowed two teams to basically eliminate all of the competition.
Who wants to watch that?

 

...and the other games?, couple of 'dead rubbers' with the group done n dusted in there I think you'll find...and you compare that to a competitive league game! ...not much point continuing this.

I take no pleasure from saying your league is ****, its just a fact, whinge all you like about TV money, if your football was worth watching TV would back it, no?

 

Completly untrue, Sky threw money at it and often announces losses on the EPL as for me I prefer Scottish football much faster and it's still about the fans.
The EPL has lost it's core value FACT the only good games in the EPL are top 4 games.
Also in 20 years of the 'MOST EXCITING LEAGUE IN THE WORLD' only 4 teams have won it??!! Man Utd(12), Blackburn (1), Arsenal(3) and Chelsea(3)
La Liga 6 teams Barca, Real, Valencia, Athletico, Deportvio, Bilbao
It is solely the money that has elevated the status of the EPL and when the Deby rule comes in from next season it will struggle, and as many Financial Analsysts say the EPL is a timebomb waiting to happen.

 

Why do you think Sky threw money at it?

Why do SPL fans feel the need to try and belittle a far superior league to their own?
It makes no sense.

You prefer La Liga?
Wonderful.
Lots of people don't, which is why the Premier League has such a large global audience.
Obviously some people find it to be exciting.

The Deby rule?

 

I have never said I am belittling the EPL it is a good league but it was MONEY not talent that got them there before that the Champions of Scotland + England were on the same level many people in Britain felt before the Man Utd team of 1996 Rangers ruled the roost in British football from 1990 onwards but money soon changed that and I meant the Debt rule.

 

The European ban may have damaged the English league for a while, but it's been far ahead of the Scottish top flight for the vast majority of the last 30 years, at least.
The distribution of European trophies should confirm that.

The Financial Fair Play rules may damage some clubs, but it remains to be seen how effective they are.
Spurs and Arsenal in particular could greatly benefit from them.

 

Celtic never beat man utd in a dead rubber game , game 5 Celtic qualified , man utd qualified at game 6 . You English seem to take some interest in our game , you seem to have all the answers but you seem to forget we are a nation of 5 million. A quarter the size of London yet our two big clubs are far bigger than anything London has ever produced despite us playing in a silly wee league and you playing in the most exciting league in the world !!! One thing you will never take away from Celtic / rangers is our history, if we were ever allowed in your league both our clubs would over take a small outfit like Spurs within 5 years.

 

London doesn't have a population of 20 million and you've got two teams that dominate the support in your whole country, compared to the vast number of London clubs in our leagues.

Rangers and Celtic are only big to those from Scotland and Ireland.
Spurs have won more European trophies than both of them combined.
If you were allowed to compete in the English league system, then you'd soon drop out of sight.
