I wouldn't get too carried away as an Arsenal fan about the result. It was fun, and it's better than losing it, and it keeps the optimism at the club going


But it is what it is - a meaningless tie, made worse these days by major teams spending summer on far flung tours and not being "ready"


I take PD's point about if we lost we woulld have been criticised after money spent, but we could brush that criticism off easily. The real games start next week


Now, having said all that - the fixture still gives me a tingle every year. It's like the lights going down and hearing the intro tape at the start of a gig - "here we go...."

Absolutely. Chambers looked really good yesterday, not overawed at all. And nobody is getting carried away, but I'd rather win any game than lose it. Yes?

Honest? Hmmm. He said it wasn't all about money, so if he hadn't been offered more by City would he have gone anyway? I some how doubt it. The only player in recent years that actually left for less money was Cesc.

He made his mistakes of course, but who hasn't. Even with that "problem" he deserved to beat Argentina and get to a world cup QF in my opinion, with 10 men and a good record preceeding that.


Jeez - If I were English I have had him back in a flash ahead of Steve McLaren or Hodgson



Edited to say - his comments about disability being punishments deserved to get him the sack and if he still believes this sh1t then I'd guess he'd fail any interview.

Am I reading too much into this or do Legia sound quietly confident.


"Legia Warsaw would like to thank the UEFA disciplinary bodies for the prompt organisation of the appeal procedure.


"At the same time, we would like to inform you that until the official decision of the UEFA appeal body is announced the club will not issue any further communication."

REPORTS in the Polish Press say Legia Warsaw have lost their appeal over their Champions League KO to Celtic.


A leading Polish newspaper today reported that the Poles? appeal had been thrown out meaning Celtic WILL face Maribor in next week?s Champions League play-off round first leg.

What heinous crime did Legia commit to get bounced, and did it contribute to the battering they dished out to Celtic?

    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
