But. They'd get a far far better deal from the TV rights from the Premiership. The global brand of Celtic has massive following so would boost premiership TV rights overseas too (to the Premiership's advantage). Their commercial income/sponsorship etc would skyrocket and I suspect that they would be competing very quickly - Man City from skint to Champions is probably a comparable timeline.....


Don't want it though but money talks. If Salmond gets his way I presume there's not a chance...

They'd get very rich and be bought by a foreign billionaire who would make them play in red hoops and try and change their name to the Keltik Hooplas - what with that and constantly reminding their fans that they are only successful thanks to the English Premier League - I can't wait!

Erm because they are a Scottish club not English. Mourinho really is an arrogant, ignorant, self promoting troll. Special one? More like special needs.

Nicking the ball is not the best way to dispel the stereotypical view many have of scousers, and especially when you're 2 nil down.

In recent years whenever Barca have played English opposition they always seem to end up playing against 10 men. It happened against CSKA Fulham, and against the Arsenal. However the red card was justified, not sure it was a penalty though as the initial contact looked like it was outside the box. City have got a mountain to climb when they visit the camp nou. I don't have much expectation for tonights game and even in the unlikely event that we win, I'm not sure that the margin, probably a narrow one, will be enough to carry us through in Germany. We can only hope.

The better team did win


But as people have already said, it is frustrating how often Barcelona get through against English teams after a sending off (the RVP one in particular still galls me)


What about Pellegrini's comments regarding the ref after the game?

And Scott Brown after Neymar play acting. Not that it would have made much difference in the end.



Although last nights sending off was completely deserved, Barca are perhaps a victim of their own success in that respect.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      Well I did say I stand to be corrected! Fair enough, their website only seemed to list three branches. Perhaps it's a franchise model?  It's known as 'agglomeration' in economics Rookie error.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Moovart · Posted

      This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying.
