Couldn't agree more Jah, but according to some you and I share an illness. I believe you've written what many have thought for at least 2 or 3 years

Nope, took mere seconds, but chill out PD, I was having a harmless little joke.

With difficulty I'd imagine, given he is Welsh. Can someone tell me what it feels to be like a thoroughly decent English chap please?

Have made correction JL. Now what exactly are you agreeing with PD?

This whole 'special relationship' we now supposedly have with Madrid has more than a whiff of bullshit about it and seems more an exercise in face saving by brer Levy than any meaningful alliance(I hope). Still, the money garnered has brought in Dembele(not sure about that one)and at least another 10 ?15m plus players in the pipeline including Will.I.Am and the French goaltender Florist. Somebody shut that bloody window, all I can smell are the warm farts of transfer rumour.

I'm afraid they are a defunct species, last spotted inhabiting Ealing comedies, whence 'chap' was quickly usurped by 'twit'...

Well if you read the post I think it becomes clear.

Oh dear if you're that easily moved to tears, may I suggest some form of medication? As for Puliis, Welsh or English, his demeanour clearly suggests that he despises Johnny foreigner, and is a coont to boot. He really suggested that his club and its fans have moved on from the acrimony surrounding the Ramsey broken leg episode. That's why they jeered and booed the lad when he came on. Yep, they've moved on alright Mr. Pullis.

Ok. Maybe I was also alluding to the baggage he carried rather than his unproven management skills at the time, as a reason why he may not last.

Anyway, I think it's going to be hard to qualify his achievements given what has happened to Rangers.

Despite Lennon claiming resources are 'thin', Celtic are miles in front of anyone else in Scotland.

Unless Celtic win the SPL by a cakewalk and pick up at least one cup, can their season be considered a success?

I think the true benchmark will be the CL. Celtic can now concentrate all their efforts on getting out of the CL group stage, without seriously affecting their SPL campaign.

Sorry, but I can't help thinking it's a case of Celtic 'doing well' inspite of Lennon, rather than because of him.

We can't help who is in our league I guess. We have thin resources in European terms, that's for sure. Lennon gets little money to spend, the club is very conservative since Fergus McCann saved the club.


His stated policy of buying players young, cultivating them and selling them on at a profit, is working well so far. He has amassed some gems in Izaguirre and Wanyama, coupled with James Forrest from the youth set up.


Certainly Lennon adds a lot to the club and the team. He is popular with the players and management.


The benchmark will be Europa League. I guess that is where we are at, and to get that you need to finish 3rd in your CL group. If they achieve that then they will be in CL again next year, with a better coefficient hopefully and you build gradually.

Champions League Draw...


Group A: Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Paris St Germain, Dinamo Zagreb.


Group B: Arsenal, Schalke, Olympiakos, Montpellier.


Group C: AC Milan, Zenit St Petersburg, Anderlecht, Malaga.


Group D: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund.


Group E: Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, FC Nordsjaelland.


Group F: Bayern Munich, Valencia, Lille, BATE Borisov.


Group G: Barcelona, Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Celtic.


Group H: Manchester United, Braga, Galatasaray, CFR Cluj.




After Utd's efforts last season, I'm saying nowt.

Although I see the bluenoses have got another easy draw :)...

Sorry BR, just seen this (I don't visit the EDF as in days gone by). Your live stream links are/would be much appreciated; thanks. :)

You obviously suffer from some form of illness you accuse Jah and I of having,you are quick to point a derisory finger at others but you are jaw droppingly dilusional. Scottish teams and European success are strangers to each other, or maybe you just can't accept it.

    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
