Yes bring on the big fish from a small pond, because we will roll you over and send you on your way. Favourites to get knocked out I assume is what you mean.Let's face Celtic are a waste of space in the champs league, as I said before you won it around the last time Spuds won the title. Nobody takes the SPL teams seriously.

You're not an Arsenal fan, you're somebody who says they are but doesn't want to stand up and be counted when comedians like Mac give it large. You be better off supporting Man Ure with all the other plastics.

Keep wishing Jock boy, cos that's all it will ever be , a wish. Scots fans are good for a laugh, a bit like the SPL.

Like I said before you've obvioulsy missed your vocation as a comedian but you obvioulsy have a sense of humour as you support Celtic and everbody knows they're good for a laugh.

Do you also remember the last time Spuds won the league?

Last time Celtic played in the Champions League qualifier with a new manager was 4 years ago... and they got battered 5-0 by the Slovakian champions. The regular competition in the SPL makes it doubtful they'll even be in the hat to draw Arsenal.


Personally I'd rather Celtic and Arsenal didn't qualify for the Champions League group stages as it's lost a lot of the gloss in recent years being overloaded with British teams, especially in the quarters and semi finals.

With the makeup of the Arsenal squad I'd say it's more likely to implode with recriminations - and if anything I'd say they'd sink rather than swim.

I fully expect City to be knocking on at least the top 4 this season. They've done a lot of business so far (Barry, Santa Cruz, Tevez, Adebayor) and I expect they'll ramp it up further during August with strong additions to rest of team. If they sign John Terry then they will be a real threat not so much because of his football but because he is a winner and that will rub off on their team ethics.

Those sort of signings, en mass unlike the token Robinho signing last year, have got to give you confidence as a team. It's debatable whether Hughes can handle them I suppose as we see most seasons from the Chlesea experiment it's not always about the players on the pitch but the strength of the manager too. The owner doesn't seem to want to meddle as much as Roman does though so who knows.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
