As Jah said, a proper footballing legend.

Great video link of the Madrid game.

That pic of Moyes is very disturbing, can we move the page on quickly, it will frighten the horses...

I watched MOTD 2 when half asleep but AVB seemed to be playing a very high backline. Did that not cause him problems at Chelsea?

[Jah Lush]

It did. Yesterday's crap defending apart the real problem is not scoring goals. The centre forward isn't getting fed. We have excellent wingers but they cut inside all the bloody time. No one is going down the wing and putting crosses in. Everything is played through the middle and we just run into brick walls. I don't care how much possession we have - going sideways and backwards doesn't get you anywhere - if we're not scoring goals we will continue to drop down the table. AVB has to change his tactics because they clearly aren't working.

[Otta]

That used to really annoy me about a young Joe Cole, he'd always cut in and end up running in to a dead end. When he stopped doing that was when he was at his peak.

[Jah Lush]

This fashion for wingers playing on right if they're left-footed or the left if they're right-footed and cutting in all time is bollocks. You don't have to cut in all the fecking time, get to the fecking by-line and get the ball in the fecking box. Play to your players strengths. You can go either way if you've got any talent in both feet. Grrrr!

The end for Celtic. They have pretty much been poor since the minute Scott Brown was sent off in the second game against Barca and got a 3 game ban. Never got going after that and out of our depth without Brown and the players we did not replace from last year. No reinvestment, get what you deserve.

[Bhoy in Singapore]

Not surprising but utterly frustrating. I get the lack of investment argument but thats no excuse. To lose 3 nil at home is embarrassing especially against a Milan who are at best stuttering.

Brown is an overrated clown. He doesnt lead by example. Dont think he would have changed anything though. Would have preferred to have seen him sold and Wanyama retained.

Very disappointing not to even have the Europa League to give as a distraction from the inevitable SPL win.

SCSB79 I await your gloating post.

[Mick Mac]

As Gordon Strachan said on the night Brown was sent off against Barca, people in Europe were beginning to take notice of his performances (he was also very good for Scotland against England) and tonight with the sending off he has taken a step backwards.

[SCSB79]

B.I.S it's just not the same when you ask for the gloating!!

Wait, wait... I have one:

The only Celtic fans in Europe after Christmas will be the ones in the Amsterdam jail.

Ba dum tish!

Not surprisingly I agree with you on Scott Brown. And it is not just through blue tinted glasses I say this... he is a major liability.

His kick out against Barcelona, his kick out against Norway (or was it the USA, my memory deserts me)... and he has done it a few other times too. Not the actions of a captain of the second biggest club in Scotland.

So, all that is left for you really is the Scottish Cup as the league is a formality - should you not win that then I'd say it is a pretty poor season for you overall.

When do Tottenham kick off? Every 15 minutes!

[red devil]

Blimey, the media are whipping up a storm about AVB on his way out, what's the word on the street/terraces Jah?...

[Alan Medic]

Well that would be a stupid move. I remember Man U getting thumped 5-0 by Newcastle and 6-3 by Southampton and then lost at home to Chelsea in successive weeks. Still won the league though.

It's press bollocks. Most of them haven't liked him since his Chelsea days.

[steveo]

He does look like he's just checking out whether he's shit himself or not though

[maxxi]

Got the players' confidence - apart from those off to Canada - if he's really going Canuck Defoe must have given up on an England slot for the WC.

If we lose to Fulham on Saturday I'm 100% confident BFS will beat AVB to it. Maybe there's another one of those Totteringham-WH swaps on the cards? (snicker)

BFS will get Soldado firing - he might give Adebayor a good run out too.

[El Pibe]

Defoe is Canadian? Well I never.

And if Fulham lose, Jol could beat both of them to it...West Ham v Fulham = El Sackico

[Mick Mac]

Ha. Very good RD.

Above your usual standard that one. Which is good as it's appraisal time of year.

[????]

..i never get in any of your lists Mick...all the tips I give you and beers I get MrBen to buy you.......

[Alan Medic]

He lost the list I was on!

[El Pibe]

Tasty top of the table(ish) clash at champion hill today!!

[Parkdrive]

Has Ryan Giggs turned 40? Fcuking hell they kept that quiet!!!!!
