Barca, Milan & Ajax

More to the point, we aren't the team we used to be either.

 

Tweet from Grant Wahl - the US' best long-form soccer/football journalist:

Grant Wahl ‏<s>@</s>GrantWahl <small class="time"> 15m </small> Call me crazy, but I can't wait to see Barça, Milan & Ajax descend into the Celtic lion's den. One of the best atmospheres in world sport.

 

Got a feeling the teams we have been drawn against will suit us. We are better as a counter attacking team when our forward players have space to run into. Not saying this will be easy but these are the games celtic tend to do well in.

We have shown we are better away from home (Shaktar apart) so we are in a better position to do well as long as we make the right signings !

 

Any idea why PaddyPower just put on a tweet apologising about remarks made towards Billy McNeill?

 

Only reason I would say I'm complaining is simply because I e seen these teams before two on numerous ocassions. But that's it. Purely selfish and I wanted to see other teams here.

But I'm happy as * to be in the champions league and in what looks like the group of death

 

I dont mind it but I dont think Ajax are better than us.

Yea gona go for the three match package
I don't know how many I can get

 

Think we're humped, but glad we are in a group of proper football clubs, couldn't do any better on that front. No clubs that only compete due to a rich owner like Chelsea or City, this group has four legendary clubs so on that note it is exciting. Shame we've played them all recently, this is the 5th time in the last ten years we've drawn Barca now.

 

No we didn't, Barcelona, Juventus and Borrussia Dortmund would have been worse,much worse.

Juve are miles ahead of Milan,and Borrussia Dortmund where last years finalists.

 

Were *!! lol

 

Whatever happens, there will be 3 guaranteed fantastic nights at Parkhead.

 

Chance to prove last season was no fluke, up against the best. Bring it on

 

Superb draw. Some great games there

 

Spot on. Obviously we want to progress, but for the players to test themselves against the quality of these sides is just as good.

Buzzing out my tiny mind.

 

Not happy with this draw purely cos im sick of barca haha wanted arsenal with dortmund but * it we have beaten all of them before.

 

Lineker tweeted "Bye bye Celtic". Said after he was joking, bet he wasn't, utter *.

 

Yep, we avoided any kind of nightmare draw. There were even two or three groups which were harder at the time we were drawn.

Let's enjoy it.

 

Gary linekar is very complimentary about Celtic, he would have been kidding.

 

O well, we will get stuck into it see how it goes. It's celtic park they are all coming to after all.
