the myth of celtic and their incredible support?

Nothing is wrong with English football? What happened with Iceland then?

For the 'best league' in the world, surely the national side should be the best in the world too? If not why not?

Okay, serious question now. I'm sure there are many parents on here with boys that are growing up and playing Sunday league football. How confident are you that your son has the potential to make it through the ranks in any of the big English clubs? Would you have been more confident in them succeeding 10-20yrs ago.

Is anyone at all coming through the youth academies and making it these days? Much easier to spend £90m on players like Pogba is it not?

Scottish kids will get a chance though and that's something that should be applauded, not shot down.

You'd only spend that much money on him if you're a fucking idiot.

Good ones will make it but they may not be local kids. Kelechi Iheanacho, who scored last night, has scored 19 goals in 18 starts. That an impressive stat and he came through our academy. I think you know the answer to your own question and the reasons.
 
Not quite sure what question that needs answering you are waiting on JimHarri? Must have missed your question.

22m likes you say but yet why couldn't you fill your 55k seated stadium against Chelsea on Sunday? What gives?

Celtic also hold both League and European attendance records.

146k vs Aberdeen.
136k vs Leeds United.

Celtic were the first British team to win the European cup. Manchester City have never won it.

Celtic have a total of 334 European games. (186 in the Champions League/ European Cup)
Manchester City have a total of 115 European games (45 in the Champions League / European Cup)

Celtic are a bigger club than Manchester City, only Manchester United and Liverpool are bigger clubs in the UK. You're delusional if you base how big a club is on its current financial affairs, Stoke and Burnley would be bigger than Ajax, PSV and Dortmund if that were case.

Man City are a franchise, injected with cash by billionaires and television money, that's what us Scots hate about the English, arrogance. Infact, that's what the world hates about the English.

Some English fans tell us that we are Championship at best, Celtic should have won both games against, ahead 4 times, pegged back 4 times. Full strength and against the team you fielded last night. (Celtic were without 3 of their top 11 too, Sinclair, Tierney and Toure) When I look at the Premiership, there are at least 10 out of the 20 teams that are bang average small clubs.

West Brom
Stoke
Bournemouth
Watford
Crystal Palace
Burnley
Leicester
Hull
Swansea
Middlesbrough.

You can add to that, Sunderland/Southampton and West Ham too. But yet Celtic are supposedly behind all this lot and Championship level?

There are 7 good teams in the 20 and Man City and Chelsea were bought. The genuine 5 are Man United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton.

If Celtic ever come to the Premiership and were injected with the associated revenues, they would have to build a new stadium to 80k+ to accommodate their fans.

You say Tottenham but Sunderland, Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, Wolves, Huddersfield and Blackburn as well as City and Chelsea have all won more league titles than them. So I think you're a bit mixed up pal.
 
80's shorts, it's not me that continues to bite about how great the Man City support is.

Fact of the matter is, you all know the support isn't great. You all know the atmosphere is dire. You only need to read the hundreds of threads on the subject.

So you're actually all arguing for the sake of arguing when in fact what I am saying is what you all think based upon the hundreds of threads about lack of atmosphere, chants and boring supporters that don't sing.

It was a sell out back at the start of November.

Tickets after that time come on sale as we have ticket exchange.

But you take The Sun as gospel petal, I'm sure it keeps you warm at night.

98.4% of capacity for each league game. Something I'm sure your directors would kill for.

They are nowhere near South American atmospheres, not even near Turkish or Greek.
