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.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
