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.

    • When I had a property with a basement there would often be a pool of water in the centre. I was told it was related to the fluctuating height of the water table in the area (se22) and would not become a problem and the only way to get rid of it would be to get the whole place completely tanked. 
    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
