Reply to: Bollocks. Celtic vs Arsenal in Champions League

Celtic have actualy won the thing you know unlike Arsenal.

In '67 wasn't it... Presumably Notts Forrest (who won it twice more recently) would walk all over Celtic then...

Seriously, Arsenal are probably one of the tougher teams still left in the play-off draw, but showed themselves to be very beatable last year. However, if Arsene has sorted it out over the summer, then it won't be pretty for the hoops.

60,000 tims screaming at them in the first leg, they will bottle it.

Maybe we are a small team but we gave Man U a decent challenge, put Liverpool aside, got the better of Barcelona a couple of times and had the better of AC Milan in a few games.

If Arsenal think this is an easy game well...

Arsenal were a last year semi finalist, a consistent top-four European team. They are not to be confused with some Scottish has-beens.

Could go either way. Both are small teams as far as the CL is concerned so to see either win wouldnt be a 'shock.'

Group stages is all either would be good for if they progressed.

It's only a matter of time until Liverpool go bust, the banks that own you do not deal in the currency of knocked off car stereos that go for hard currency round your area.

But Celtic are complete s**** ?

The one team I didn't want to play.

Not to worry, Mowbray will steer you to a memorable victory.

Which is more than he ever did for us (West Brom).

Celtic are the team Arsenal least wanted to get.

Would have been the team I most wanted to avoid, but having drawn them we need not be too fearful. I would give Arsenal the edge, but not too clear cut an edge. We will be sharper than them having already started our season, and they have lost a couple of players over the summer so might need time to gel, time they may not have. At least we know it will be on the box anyway!

True, but I suspect our new open and expansive way of playing will play right into arsenals hands ...

I agree with the philosophy, but equally I don't want to get battered trying to outplay arsenal at their own game.
