Ha, ha. That's hilarious. Green is as Scouse as they come....and slightly racist but we'll brush over that.

Obviously Arsenal were always going to be the better team. I had thought Celtic would be more attacking in their team selection - One up front is defeatist (and that one should have been McDonald rather than Samaras, who is rubbish).


Arsenal looked a good side but needed a bit of luck. They had only 5 shots on target, which is probably less than they would have in most premiership games.


But there can be no arguements about the winner. They deserved to come out on top. 1-0 might have given us some hope. I don't fear for Celtic at the Emirates, although we rarely win away from home we are rarely embarrassed either.


I can't go without one little whinge about the referee - he obviously thinks football is a non contact sport. Its a mans game and Arsenal played on his softness. Certainly not a homer.

Alan Green may be a Pool fan, but Jesus he covers it well. He kisses manc arse at every opportunity, and he is Northern Irish, but thinks he's English. For example saying that he fears for "us" when referring to the England team, how the fcuk is he English???? I hate the man and would love to see him ousted from broadcasting, he is about as impartial as Adolf Hitler the coont.


As for Celtic, big fish small pond.

Really, that's weird. I was just talking to my father-in-law about him walking away. Who has suspended betting? I think it's unlikely but hey, stranger things have happened.


just on to my mate a Sky Sports News to see if he's working and if he's heard anything.

No mention at all on BBC, only a prematch interview with him saying he is shocked at reaction to opening day loss, feels a win tonight could change everything.


Maybe it hinges on tonight's result... Seems very unlikely at this stage, although he can't be pleased with his transfer kitty.


Anyway, can't see this result lasting 90 minutes, but fair play to Burnley, apparently a cracking goal, then a penalty save!

      So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that.
