    Vic's a booking away from being suspended to play them in Paradise. Which would be a crying shame yet seems inevitable.

    From what we have seen of Ambrose so far? I think so.

    He'll take one for the team again I reckon. Messi will be on a relentless run and Wanyama will give him a little tug to the ground. Professional foul

    Yep if I could bet on that I would.

    Wanyama to get booked, Hooper to score, Messi to score, both teams to score, over 2.5 goals = 1/10 lol.

    Do you think Ambrose midfield perfoancr versus Raith Robers was more impressive than Scott Browns vs Benfica or Spartak Moscow?

    Why you asking that when you know he probably doesn't?

    is it bad that in a way the only reason i hope Celtic get a draw is so that it leaves all the arogant Sky pundits other the WGS utterly speechless.

    Because that's what has been seen so far of Ambrose in midfield.

    He stated that from what we've seen of him so far then he is a better option there. So I was curious. TAB's one of the best posters here, so I'm intrested to know his thinking.

    Sound mate a was just curious to know your thinking of asking him that question:50:

    In the 3 or 4 games we have seen of Ambrose there no doubt for me he looks far more superior to Brown as a footballer, whether it be in midield or defence.

    The performances aren't comparable due to the opposition. Look, I've criticised Scott Brown in the past but I would be the first to admit he has been playing very well for us.

    If I had posted a formation that played a right-midfielder, he probably would have been in there to tighten it up. I posted a formation with Wanyama sitting behind 3 central midfielders.

    Even from the little we have seen of Ambrose - I think he will go on to show everyone that he has more ability than Scott Brown. He's played well at CB as well, which has me thinking he could read the game well if we deployed him at CM. As well as Brown has been playing, I still believe we have better options in the middle of the park. He would not be starting unless at RM for me.

    I have no doubt Lennon will pick him though and Brown has deserved it recently.

    Just seeing some of barcelona's stats for this seasons champions league already

    Xavi has completed 236 out of 266 passes, the highest in the competition

    As a team they have completed 1400 out of 1627 attempted passes in the two games

    Lionel messi has been top scorer in the competition for 4 years running

    No chance Xavi has misplaced 30 passes.

    According to uefa's official match press kit he has. It's still a pretty good record

    Delighted Busquets is missing. Song is nowhere near a worthy replacement.

    Just watched the highlights of the 3-2 game Naylor's cross and JVOH header was amazing.

    Although Caldwell's pefect pass to Ronaldinho who the lays of Henry was a funny moment to look back on
