Wenger's Arsenal have a history of going to tough European grounds and scoring lots of goals against teams who'd previously been rock solid at home. I don't believe it'll be a scrappy 1-0 game - I think if Arsenal cut loose it'll be a demolition job. I really do fear for Celtic next Tuesday.


5-1 (Inter Milan (a) 2003- CL)

4-0 (PSV Eindhoven (a) 2002 - CL)

5-2 (Fenerbahce (a) 2008 - CL)

Babel looked impressive tonight for Holland, a real menace. He glided past the full back on countless occasions... my only concern is that it was ?17m Glen Johnson who he made to look out of his depth. Dirk Kuyt looked like a man who knows his way around the penalty box the way he scored the opening goal - so that was good and hopefully bodes well for Liverpool this season.

Matt - I feel a wager coming on for Tuesday's game - You think Arsenal will sweep Celtic aside. If you offer to set the spread at a 2 goal win for Arsenal you have a spreadbet. If Arsenal win by 5 goals I owe you 3 units (at whatever stake you agree) and a 1 goal win for Celtic wins me 3 units....


Any takers?

Might be up for that Mick - I got Liverpool the next night so will have fitness test on day of match to whether I have the stamina to rip roar with laughter as I take your money off your hands and still be fit for Anfield :))


Btw, I'm gonna have to check the Betfair odds to see whether that offer needs to be amended ;-)

After seeing Glen Johnson last night I have to say I am still not convinced it is money well spent. He looks flat footed, and his positioning is suspect. Apart from having a good fitness record he seems a carbon copy of Philip Deggen, another right back, who Liverpool signed last summer on a free transfer. To sum it all up, last night he made Babel look like the second coming of John Barnes [which at least is promising!].


I have the same reservations about Johnson as I did when Liverpool signed Nigel Clough and Morientes - when you cut through all the media hype, is he a world beater? He might be an England international.. but for ?17m it makes Gareth Barry look like a major steal at ?12m.


Most importantly though he is not in my FFL team ;-)

Shame for Rio as he is usually solid. Still, it was only a meaninless friendly. I'm suprised you even noticed it was on Anna, I also notice you didn't put a video of Gareth Barry's screw up on the forum. Hmm, could this be a bias against United players?

I didn't watch it but was sent the high(low)lights. To be honest I didn't even realise it was Rio until I watched it again after I posted it on here. I just thought Dirk did a good job from that angle.


Trust me, I am not that arsed about you or Manchester united that I will come on here at every opportunity to have a pop. So get over yourself. ;-)

    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.
    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
