Thanks for that reminder Matt.

Matt - I expect you would be in the minority across Europe in not wanting Celtic in the Champions League:




"Russian praises celtic park as 'best in europe'"

.


"IN terms of stadium support, Celtic is easily the best in Europe and for 90 minutes the away team is exposed to the most powerful noise attack."


Those words of praise for the Celtic support and the warning to Dinamo Moscow have come from former Spartak Moscow boss, Stanislav Cherchesov.


Cherchesov was in charge of Spartak two years ago when they faced Celtic in a UEFA Champions League qualifier. The Hoops progressed to the group stages following a dramatic penalty shoot-out at Celtic Park and the whole experience left a lasting impressing on the Russian.


And he believes the Dinamo players are about to experience something that they have never done before in their football careers.

The Celtic team has changed but the fan base remains the same," Cherchesov said. ?Dinamo have to ensure they?re ready psychologically for the first leg.?


And Cherchesov also had experience of Celtic Park as a player, having been part of the FC Tirol side which lost 6-3 in Glasgow in a UEFA Cup match back in 1997.


The Austrian side won the first leg 2-1 but were well beaten in the return match.


?I played against Celtic for FC Tirol in the UEFA Cup,? Cherchesov said. ?We won at home then, in the second leg, I remember the atmosphere created by their supporters at Parkhead. We crumbled.?





And I expect Arsenal to crumble a couple of weeks later :)

Not as soon as Celtic though eh big boy

Talk about arrogance from Real Madrid with this corker from their Sporting Director


?The problem with Alonso is there are no alternatives, with the way football is evolving, the creative central midfielder is becoming fewer and fewer. Alonso is not a fad, there are just not may alternatives - not in the Americas or in Europe are their players who can perform his task. They stalled, from day one - the demands of Liverpool were beyond what Madrid was willing to pay and that is very difficult to understand. That is not the way to get things done, but I have not given up hope we can solve this.?

Barcelona 'have had an offer of about ?38m plus Eto'o, in exchange for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, accepted while Alexander Hleb will also join Inter on loan.'


That basically prices 27 year old Ibrahimovic as more expensive than Kaka! I've seen Ibrahimovic play 4 times and have to say each time he has been very disappointing. For all the money Real Madrid have spent this summer I think this Barcelona deal is going to be their biggest boost of wrestling back the La Liga title.

Celtic have bought Danny Fox:


After a frantic day of activity, Mowbray last night completed the ?1.5 million deal to make Danny Fox, 23, the Coventry City defender, his third signing for Celtic, in time for player to be eligible to face Dynamo Moscow in next week?s Champions League third qualifying round, first leg in Glasgow. Fox will make his debut against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the Wembley Cup.


Does anyone know if he is any good? Have to say its nice to see some players going from England to Celtic, Martin ONeill was successful in attracting Premiership players to Celtic, Chris Sutton, Neil Lennon and John Hartson for example. Under Gordon Strachan noone wanted to join us so things seem to be picking up, Celtic should be a club thats capable of attracting good players.


Anyway - anyone know Danny Fox?

Mick - sounds like you'll be supporting the Reds this season then!


Not necessarily Matt - Its just I have heard this song about Steven Gerrard and thought it was rubbish as he never seemed that hard to me (not by Souness/Keane standards) - but he has now proved me wrong with this bar room brawl - he has a boxer's punch. Looks like he was provoked and the other guys elbowed him in the face before he retailliated, so i hope he is found innocent. I also think he handled himself well in court based upon the transcripts in tonights BBC news.

No it was Gerrard's mate who elbowed the DJ - the DJ then motioned towards Gerrard who he thought had landed the elbow, and Gerrard was unaware of stray elbow so thought that DJ was about to launch attack and hence used his 'boxing skills' to defend himself.


> Re: Danny Fox


Mick sorry to disappoint but Coventry are no longer in the Premiership... but the boy does have some pedigree as he previously plyed his trade in the Scottish Second Division for Stranraer

Yes very funny Matt, Can I remind you that Alan Hansen played for Partick, Dalglish for the Bhoys and your great teams of the past were based on Scottish management and backbone, so don't knock Stranrear.


I have donemy own research and Danny Fox was picked on the Championship team of the season in the left back position so probably better than some premiership teams.


I know Coventry are not in the premiership Matt, thanks again. I was talking about players choosing Cletic ahead of permiership clubs, and Fox reportedly had interest from premiership clubs, but he is obviously an intelligent chap, who does not mind the cold.

You sound almost proud Matt.


Atila, we won't be chanting Argentina, we'll be chanting Celtic if MM's prediction comes true in a few weeks. Can't wait!

Neither can I, like I said before big fish small pond and a waste of a place in the Champs League. Bring em om, it'll be funny to see them crying after we show how to play the beautiful game and send home crying into their super strength lager. Nearly as funny as watcthing fat geordies with no shirts crying on the terraces when the realisation that they've been relegated kicks in. Bring em on, let's see if you're anywhere near as good as you think (deluded) you are.

Methinks if it had been a Utd player the 'theatre reviewer' in Matthew would've resurfaced with the usual dispicable thug comments thrown in...

    • 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.
