Balotelli going to Spurs at 25/1 must be worth a punt. Spurs will be in the market for a striker if Soldado moves back to Spain, and Milan seem keen to move Balotelli on...

It's going to be the league to watch in Scotland this year.

So Legia have appealed to Celtic to play again on various grounds of honour, fairplay etc. Celtic's response is they are unhappy with those comments and it's a UEFA matter. What's wrong with those comments? If Legia were a bigger European fish I bet UEFA would find a reason to allow them to continue in the competition.


Celtic, do the right thing. It would be a breath of fresh air.

Excerpt from Legia's public letter:


He continued: "Imagine Jock Stein and Billy McNeill deprived of the chance to achieve the biggest triumph in their career by an application form, filled improperly by a club employee acting in good faith.

"Would any true legend of Celtic FC accept the qualification won despite the double defeat suffered on the pitch? I am strongly convinced that their legendary Celtic pride would not allow them to do that."


Well if that doesn't take the biscuit. Who are they to try to put themselves in the mind of Jock Stein.



"How could they then look in the eyes of their humiliated fans?"


F.R.O.

Terrible letter by Legia. By all means appeal vociferously that a minor technicality shouldn't be so harshly punished but this sort of limp PR garbage is laughable. Wonder if they sent it on tear-stained paper?


Charity shield - a lot of leaden feet being slowly dragged back to life on the ManC team.. and that skin-tight beach-volleyball shirt the gooners were wearing?... can't see many fans in the over 35 bracket struggling into a replica one of those without corsets.

Surely it's not up to Celtic - they'd probably be punished

if they made any offer.


FIFA and UEFA can be quite nasty.

It used to mean something, the traditional curtain raiser to the new season, but with clubs now going on long-haul pre-season tours it's lost it's appeal. With nearly 20,000 empty seats yesterday perhaps there's an argument to play it overseas too...

Ozil, Mertesacker, and Walcott not available for us but 3 good goals and great performances from Chambers, Ramsey and Cazorla. Sanogo looked good, so it bodes well. The usual suspects demeaning the result, and like Arsene said if you lose people point and say you bought these players for a lot of money and failed, you win, it's a pre-season friendly ( no matter that previous winners have celebtrated winning it with gusto, yes Yanited included). The empty seats were City allocation seats from what I hear, but what made the victory sweet was sticking it to the little bitch Nasri. If ever a player need some PR advice, he's your man.

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      By NewWave · Posted

      I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By DGM-1986 · Posted

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Jah Lush · Posted

      Was a regular haunt of mine for many years and had a lot of fun times in there and some marvellous food down the years. Though, admittedly I spent most of my time in there doing some serious boozing. In recent times I've been a less frequent visitor to this fine establishment. I seriously hope it doesn't change too much. It's always had a good vibe in there and that's down to Tim and Rod and all of the staff who have worked there over the past 26 years.
