MM.

Grandiose delusions.

I happened to pop in here as a break from "trolling" the McCann's thread and saw your post and couldn't resist.

Given that 6 of Real Madrid's 10 European Cup wins were prior to '67, I was pointing out that Celtic have a European stature that most clubs don't have. Rangers come to mind. Anyway, who said it has to be a well known manager? Whoever it is, he'll be well known to himself!

Yes - a European club like VS Lichtenstein or Grasshoppers Malta - a tiny foreign club no one gives a shit about.

I'd say winning one Eurpean trophy and reaching the final of 3 other competitions and being the first Scottish team to get out of the Group Stages of the CL and not forgetting being a balls hair width away from the final in 92/93 when Marseille pipped us (cheats?) is a decent showing.


How is Celtic's away record in the Champions League these days? 1 win in 25 or somehting like that.

only saying what we're all thinking Michael - years ago Celtic may have been relevant in a debate about euro-footy but these days they're an asterisk; a "did you know?"; a once-upon-a-time story for the dwindling band of 'fans' who still give a toss about scottish footy. No one cares.
Is anyone else inolved on a World Cup prediction thingy at work? Our inolves predicting the final standings of each group, the 8 quarter finalists, semi finalists, finalists and the winners. Easy you might think. Anyone got any thoughts on potential dark horses? I quite fancy Belgium and Uruguay, not to win it but to go to semi maybe?

Possibly - but last night wouldn't rankle if it weren't for the tantalising glimpse of what COULD be in the 2nd half v Ecuador. Last night was the same old malaise, as though concentration and confidence disappear when some players play for England; replaced by a nervy, jittery, sloppy perma-panic that thrashes wildly without getting anywhere.


I agree they have to start with the (relatively) nerveless new caps; Barkely, Lambert, Ox-C, Sterling, Lallana etc. who will make mistakes but don't seem to let that throw them or sap their desire to try it again. If they do their stuff then the leaky back isn't such a terrible problem - we'll just score more than them! ...though that could just be the Iron in me talking:)

It will be alright on the night SJ ?


Well it depends on what you think the purpose is of these matches.


Keep possession but move the ball quickly seems to be the message.


My problem with this England team and every other England team in the Gerrard Lampard era is it can't win the ball in midfield and neither can it retain possession in midfield against good teams.


Hence England only pick up new possession when the opposition move breaks down! That means the opposition dictate when they are ready to give the ball up. Hence if England go behind against good opposition they are buggered.


Far too many forward thinking midfield players and even now add Johnson as a forward thinking defensive player who will be exploited.


None of these players are any good when you don't have the ball and I expect England to spend a long time without the ball.


Same old sane old.


You can pass the ball around all you like in deep positions, the opposition won't care.


I hope I'm wrong, it might be different this time. England needs a new hero to pop up over the next few weeks. I don't think it will be Rooney, Gerrard or Lampard. Good luck.

Agree with Maxxi.


Barkley, Lallana, Lambert etc should start.


Fresh, young, exciting players who feel so honoured to represent their country for the first time, they will give their all.


Rather than relying on the older, experienced players who no longer have anything to prove, gave their all once, but no longer give enough.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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
