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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
