    Looks like Fabregas will miss out on Wednesday. That's * magic news, we might have a chance yet - he's the heartbeat of that side, Arsenal minus Cesc Fabregas are significanly weaker.

    Most other teams going giving Arsenal a 2 goal start at the Emirates - no chance! However there is something about Celtic Football Club that suggests otherwise.

    I know Arsenal are probably oh a different level but remember the following examples;

    Blackburn Rovers 0-2 Celtic
    Liverpool 0-2 Celtic
    Dynamo Moscow 0-2 Celtic
    Ajax 1-3 Celtic

    It can be done!

    Not against one of the best teams in the world with a fairly average team i'm afraid. We need a huge amount of luck to win this. A perfect example would be catching someone like Gallas of guard for him to foul our player, give away a penalty and get sent of.

    Of course we have a chance! If we can get the 1st goal we can make it interesting.

    Arsenal play Man Utd at Old Trafford on saturday so hopefully they'll have an eye on that game and we can take them by surprise!

    Mon the hoops!

    Of course we do ,Celtic held there own in the first leg but got unlucky ,Celtic need to be all over the Arsenal players and stop them playing and grab an early goal ,they will feel the pressure but Celtic cannot be complacent ,they need 100% from everyone but its going to be a tight game ,Arsenal arent there yet and i think Wenger knows this .

    We've been written off from every single angle, that suits me. We score the first goal and it is game on. The media and the commentators from down South will hopefully be made to eat their words.

    Folks there is good news and there is also bad news for you lot.

    The good news for you is that Fabregas is about 90% sure to not even make the bench against you.

    The bad news is that the bloke that will replace him - Diaby, will add extra physical presence at 6 foot 3, and scored a brace at the weekend.

    Best thing would be


    1. Fabregas not playing
    2. We score in first 10 mins
    3. Gallas gets a red in next 10 mins, so he doesnt score a jammy goal
    4. We score just after HT
    5. We score again 10 mins before the end
    Celtic 1 Arsenal 0

    The we never play arsenal ever again so they cant have revenge lol

    say what you like, yer kiding yourself on if you think we have a chance, Glen hoddel was spot on when he said arsenal didn't get out of 3Rd gear at cp, down at the emerits will be a totatly diferent game all together, your saying just get an early goal as if it that easy, if we couldn'y do it at cp, what make you think we can do i down there

    I dont think we can do this but if we did it would be the biggest achievement in one single game since Lisbon

    We may not of got out of third gear, but at the same time on our bad day we stay in second or first gear, so all hope is not lost for you yet, but if we score first it's game over and could get quite embarrassing if you chase the game.

    Actually, scoring early would make things alot harder. It would bring the best out of Arsenal early on. Best thing to do would be to keep it at 0 - 0 until HT. Score 1 goal early in 2nd half and then another, making the last 10 or so minutes very nervy for Arsenal.

    Do you not hate those dreams where everything is so real? I had a dream lastnite McDonald scored in the 1st few minutes in a goal mouth scramble. I was estatic then woke up.
    Here's hoping we do get a goal in the 1st few min.

    Had the best strikeforce in britain at the time IMO.
    Bit different now...we dont have as many goals in the big games.
    But you just never know and thats why i'll watch the game on a * wee computer at work.:icon_mrgreen:
