[MadchesterCity]

You never know ; )

Would probably take a draw and no injuries now if you guaranteed me 3 points at Spurs Sunday

Totally agree mate sunday is a far more important game in my opinion?

 

[ayrshire_blue]

3 points and zero injuries please.

 

[TueartsOHK]

Pep: @DeBruyneKev is not a big injury. In 2 and a half/3 weeks maybe he will be ready. #mcfc
Angus Gunn is out for 7 to 10 days.
Club captain Vincent Kompany could also return in 2-3 weeks, Pep says.

The news about Kevin is great. Cheers

I bet you weren't at York away though

[chaddblue]

Gonna piss down in Glasgow tomorrow night blues. Don't forget your cagoules

 

[Blue Smarties]

Dreamt we lost 4-3 last night. Might be worth a tenner to hide any potential embarrassment.

 

[MarsLlama]

Looking forward to this. For some reason I think we'll either lose 1-0 or win by more than three goals. I wouldn't play a weakened team because they deserve to be treated with respect and caution, but if we do look comfortable it might not be a bad idea to rest some of our biggest players for the last half an hour. This is a big game but Tottenham on Sunday is equally big in my pinion.

Celtic have only lost about 3 champions league games out of the last 30 at home,this will be a much tougher game than people think.

theyve lost a few more than 3, but i agree with your sentiment, this will be tough, might only be the odd goal in it.

Also, a lot of Celtic's wins have come in qualifiers which slightly biases their record but still, wins against Ajax and Barca in the last 4 or 5 seasons is nothing to scoff at

 

[whos_kompany85]

Scottish news reporting Gunn's injury in the same context as KDB and kompany this morning.
Would love us to put the put in tonight, keep up with barca and keep the run going. Come on city.

 

[jollylescott]

Call it an irrational Braveheart fear, but I think this is going to be a tough game. They are going to go in boots and all. We need to keep our composure, retain the ball and wear them out. Hopefully if we do that then we can finish them off in the second half.

Celtic to win and both teams to score is still 14/1 at Bet365.

£10 on for £150 return.

Those are crazy crazy odds and for anyone thinking it's going to be a close game, take a punt and put a tenner on.

Although this defies logic considering Manchester City are on fire just now, Celtic in the past usually do well in front of their home crowd.

1) Celtic will be looking to save face from the thumping Barcelona give them 2wks ago.
2) Celtic will be playing with the '12th man' in regards to their intimidating atmosphere.
3) Celtic are realistically battling the Germans for that 3rd place Europa spot and need the points.
4) Celtic have a respectable home record and the very best in football say it's a tough stadium to visit.
5) KDB is out.

City of course are strong favourites but at 14/1 considering the above 5 points, it's worth at least a tenner.

Can't wait for tonight now.

Game day!

They've actually got a 48% win percentage in the CL which sounds good but when you consider that their last 6 home games for instance (all wins) were against Stjarnan, Qarabağ, Malmö, Lincoln, Astana and the mighty H. Beer-Sheva then it's not that impressive really.

Only the odd goal in it? Seriously?

 

[adr2.8i]

Get in, win, 3 points, no new injuries and get the fook owt i say.

This is the CL where you get booked for giving someone a nasty look, they're not that daft.

Isn't there a policy against gambling recruiters on this forum?

Should be one.
