We'd be nervous wrecks no matter who we played, if we ever got to a final.
I really enjoyed last nights match, for some reason or other. Ha.

It's a mystery. :)
There is no doubt this will be some game if it happens. If I were you I would fancy my chances, but I would also be under no illusions that they could kick your arse too.
They are special but you're right, they can be got at. The problem is they can get you too.
We will hopefully be in the Europa and the extra cash from that will help us get better players as well as extra euro experience for the players. We are the 4th pot team with a 3.0 win away at Anderlect, we knew we would get fuck all from the big two, and possibly a couple of right tankings. We take that because the cash allows us to improve. Not as fast as richer clubs but that's something we can't change.
City v PSG final would be brilliant for football people who love teams that attack with class.
You will be a nervous fucking wreck though, brilliant though.
if it happens it will be like last seasons games v monaco. they were breath taking attacking games. We are a lot better than last season but then again, PSG are better than Monaco so who knows what would happen!!! Its mouth watering!
As far as your club goes, i think some of the stick Celtic get is a bit unfair. You can only beat whats in front of you. Your miles ahead of anybody else in scotland but then you lag behind most of the teams in europe. You cant win really and i think most of your fans understand this. Its a bit unrealistic to expect you to compete with the big boys in the champs league when you dont really get tested in your domestic league. I think you do about as well as you can do with the players you have.

When the draw was made and we got lumped in with PSG and Bayern, after the previous year with you and Barca, that's us drawn the four best teams in Europe.
Most of the other groups would have been easier. Our goal is 3rd with anything else an unexpected and if honest, unrealistic bonus. Our 3.0 away win at Anderlecht should be enough, but I'm not counting chickens.
Our problem is with our defence. It's shit. It was shut last year and we didn't sign any defenders meaning we played a makeshift defence as our three main CB's were injured. Farcical.
Getting our balls parted will in the long run help us because the defence needs addressing. Four of the goals were defensive fuck ups. PSG don't need charity.
Similar to you last year, your defence fucked you up. You all knew it, the bonus for you is Pep was able to go out and spend over £100m on top drawer defenders. That's why you are being talked of as CL potential winners.
We can't do that, but by fuck there has to be better players out there we can afford.
I thought we got at them a few times and was pleased with that, but when you gift goals it dents your confidence.
Getting better in Europe means we keep in front up here and guarantee ourselves a crack at qualifying for the CL.
That is an achievement in itself for us. Our whole team cost about £38m. That's the reality. And taking that into consideration we still have a go.
Celtic in the champions league is like welcome to our world from the other teams in Scotland.
Even although you are getting some right drubbing you are earning vast amounts of money that the other teams in Scotland cannot compete with.
Brenda has to improve the defence to at least compete with the big boys.
The keeper all of a sudden has become a problem as well.

I know. We take the gubbings gladly to get the cash and hopefully have the resources to improve.
What's the alternative?
The keeper and the defence need replaced or at least added to.
3rd place us our goal and always has been. It's funny in Scotland. Everyone complains how shite we all are and yet when one if the very best in the world tank us, it's as if we have failed tragically. They can't have it both ways.
Us qualifying also made every team in Scotland more money than any made themselves in Europe.
If we sort our defence we make it even harder to beat in Scotland and the goal of getting 3rd place every year is made that bit easier. If we beat Anderlecht its mission accomplished for this year this humping has focused the mind regarding what needs to be done.
ive got to say i dont watch Scottish football at all, (i used to watch the celtic v rangers matches though, they were superb and the atmospheres were outstanding,!!) but i hear Tierney is a player of some talent, and boyata can do a job for you im sure, but i havent heard of any of the rest of your defence sorry! Gordon was decent i seem to recall, is he not having a good season?

Boyata is prone to at least a couple of costly mistakes each game. Simunovic is good but always injured. Tierney is class and Lustig is good but getting on.
We need at least one good CB and a full back. Gordon is s good keeper but again has lapses and you don't get away with that in Europe.
A few players in January, hopefully having secured 3rd spot and we take a wee step forward wit
Hopefully is the main word.
