Hearing that West Ham have taken a team of kids and Jenkinson(ineligible to play against Arsenal) away for their Europa league game.

I can't understand that.
They will not get a chance to get into Europe again for quite a while and haven't been Europe in ages. It's a winnable game as well.

Fat Sam would have been crucified for that.

Very true lad he would be. But did they not have a strong for them team out the last time.? Could be wrong but a few of us on here were ripping them for drawing with a Maltese side?

From that article, these comments from Deila interest me

“My dream for Virgil and all the other players is to get into the Champions League, play good football there and show they can perform at the highest level.

“Then they can go to the biggest clubs in Europe if they’re going to leave us.

“That is a step up. But the clubs from six downwards in England, like Southampton, are not bigger than us.

“They have more money than us but they’re not bigger clubs.”

Pretty arrogant that. A modern day fan in timbuktu is likely to know more about West Bromwich Albion than Celtic.

No mate :lol:

Tough game. Awful ref, awful pitch. I would have bit your arm off for 0-0 at the beginning of the game. Qarabag are a decent team, well organised and can keep the ball. These beat inter last year

2 more games to negotiate and we're back in the big league
 
Don't know if anyone watched Bayern v Real Madrid there in the Audi Cup Final, but Bayern looked very, very impressive indeed.

Douglas Costa looked especially good.

We did,me included but I'm still surprised,they haven't even taken any experience to put on the bench. What was the point of starting your season before the kids broke up if you're going to limp out before the season proper begins.

That team will be exhausted by February and won't even have the excuse of a half decent European campaign.

They won the title by 17 points and almost won the domestic treble like, while also taking Inter Milan to the wire in the Europa League

For a first season, he did fine

I beg to differ, in a league where there are no big hitters anymore, Celtic should have had the title wrapped up by early March at the very least. The so called rival is Aberdeen, who quite simply ran out of gas come February.

As for nearly winning a domestic treble, that should be a given for said reason as above, yet they lost to an even worse team, in Inverness!

Yes, Celtic are mega gash, but he has the players to win that league by 30+
And the uefa coefficient to be able to beat the likes of Maribor.

You're doing Aberdeen a huge injustice there

By all means, they are a tricky side, but when theyre a pretty much poor side, as are all Scottish sides, just Celtic are bang average, which by theory should mean they will run away with the title.

Not harsh on Aberdeen, more harsh on Deila if anything.
