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.

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
