That was last year Matt when a poor Rangers team truimphed over other poor teams.

This is a new season and one trophy so far, closely followed by Liverpools under 19s being sent the same way as Real Madrid and AC Milans kiddies, crying home to their mummies tonight for trophy number two....

LATEST: Manchester City are ready to pay ?150m for Lionel Messi, according to Spanish newspaper Marca. The world record bid would eclipse efforts to sign Kaka and Samuel Eto'o earlier this year and follows reports at the weekend that City were trying to guarantee a first refusal should the Catalans ever decide to sell the Argentina superstar.

It'll never happen. Messi doesn't want to leave, Barcelona don't want him to leave and if he left the fans who also don't want him to leave would go crazy. And Barcelona are an honourable club that can't be bought (no advertising on their shirts) no matter how much Man City are willing to play for the player. Messi is a God at Camp Nou so it won't happen no matter how much they offer.

You have to be joking right, apart from the fact that nobody gives a rats backside about the SPL, you are joking, yes?

Probably true Jah, but never say never. It would be an illogical choice for him to make - but agents always have a vested interest in players moving and can encourage these things to happen.

Nevertheless it shows the ambition of City, in their search for a high profile player.

I believe Messi's agent is his father so probably even less chance of that happening.

Was chatting to my colleague yesterday, she's a big Rangers fan, and is quite torn about the Arsenal, Celtic match up. On the one hand, she said she's never supported Celtic in anything, and it would pain her to do so. However, she said it would be great as a Scot to see Celtic beat a "top" English club...

Likewise I like to see Rangers win in Europe, as it helps strengthen the image of scottish football, which is weak at the moment as both clubs have financial issues. And its best when Rangers and Celtic are both strong. (Would not want to see Gers go the whole way and actually win a euro trophy though.)


I think Celtic will have a lot of support for this game, being the underdog, and I hope if they do not win that at least they do themselves justice and give Arsenal a bit of a scare.

Well MP I have never been to a wolftones gig and would never go to one. I support the celtic football team. I have always felt football and politics should be seprate.


I was at a Celtic game on the Saturday immediatley after the Omagh bombing and during the minutes silence someone shouted out a pro IRA slogan. Among 60000 people that was a huge embarrassment for the club. Those people were ejected and banned for life. I feel that since then Celtic have done more than anyone could expect to keep politics out of Celtic Park.


As for the Wolftones, well thats up to you if you want to go to one of their gigs, its not exactly going to be an easy night for anyone who does not think the same way as them. But they are nothing to do with Celtic.


I think its unfortunate that people with strong Irish political views believe that wearing a Celtic shirt in some way brings the two together. It does not.

Don't get me wrong MM, I blame Celtic not one iota, it's like blaming England when I see a St George flag at an international with the red hand on it (I had to explain this to my American mate when we watched the game at soldier field in Chicago a few years back).

Ignorant wankers was my thought then as it was at the gig (I had no idea what it would be all about btw, not a pleasant surprise), as I said it's purely emotional flashback whenever I see a see of Celtic shirts.


In the end word got round that there were two English lads there (I was travelling around Ireland with my brother and we stopped in at mrs mockers' family pile) and we couldn't buy a drink if we tried the rest of the night. Not to say there wernt some pretty nasty comments either mind.


Anyway, no offence intended, may the best team win :)

No probs MP, it's an association that will be with Celtic for some time I'm afraid, due to some people who seek to associate the poloitcs and football. Celtic is a club set up originally for the Irish immigrants in Glasgow so it will always have a big Irish support and rightly so, but there will always be minorities who let the club down. The club seeks to isolate itself from those minorities, as does Rangers.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
