Great result for Celtic tinight, beating Barca and I'm pleased to say thhat Chelsea played their get out of jail card! Over the 2 games, Shakhtar have been the better team IMO, we needed Terry out there tonight, especially with Cole injured. Against the better teams we're being exposed a little, again a fit Lamps is needed in such games and its becoming apparant, we need someone sharper than Torres as a lone striker.

No doubt about it,Celtics was the result of the night.They have given themselves a great chance of making the knockout stages and deserve to do so.
Typical United.....1-0 down with 10 minutes to go.....below par performance.....win 3-1 with late goals....what an astute signing Van Persie is proving to be.
Moses' late late show seems to have rescued Chelsea from the wilderness in Europe.

So what a week so far with victories for Celtic,Manchester United,Chelsea and President Obama.....but its bye-bye Man Citeh and Mitt Romney ! 8)

Oscar is a brilliant little player and I'm saying that watching a midfield also containing Mata, Ramirez and Hazard. With Pirlo also on the pitch.

All fair and well Baa Baa, but you ain't gonna win games playing 4 in defence, 1 in midfield and 5 up front!

Pray and hope Lamps is fit for the w/e, Cole will be a game fitter, Terry will be game nearer a return and then in January - proper grown up fowards will arrive.

If Chelsea beat Nordsjaelland (very likely) and Shakhtar Donetsk beat Juventus (quite likely) then Chelsea go through.
Likewise,if Celtic better Benficas result in the final game they will progress (Barcelona v Benfica,Celtic v Spartak Moscow).
United are already through (much to the delight of you all :cheers: ) and could yet be joined by Arsenal,Celtic and Chelsea......Citeh,of course,are a lost cause ! :wink:

That's the thing, Abramovich seems to think of Guardiola as some sort of football god but the whole reason Barca are so good is because it's a long-term project, the club plays the same way all the way through the ranks.

Benitez started the same thing at Liverpool, even employing Barcas 2 youth coaches.

I just don't know what Roman even wants, 5 nil wins with tiki taka in every single game?
