I had completely forgotten that Ian Wright was ever at Celtic

 

Larry Bird is a big FA Cup fan?

 

Yes. Him and Tragic Johnson . They're thinking of buying Rangers and renaming them the Lanarkshire Lakers so they can relive their glory days.

Magic will roam around getting all sorts of venereal issues as Larry goes about recruiting the Ugliest Dynasty in History.

Can't imagine either will have any difficulty.

 

Yeah he was the stopgap replacement after Larsson's legbreak. He played in the super calley go ballistic celtic are atrocious game that got John Barnes sacked

 

John Barnes is one bitter bitter confused old man...... I'll never forget his tenure at Celtic. He strikes me as a guy who really resents his current situation. He's so angry that what starts as lucid opinion is twisted resentment by the time it's been acted on by the enzymes of his anger.

 

Oh yeah Viduka. What a knob.


"It was one of the greatest headlines ever"...

.....*Super Calley.....uuh..... *

Wrighty is ok. I suspect he's harbouring some of the old John Barnes Black Tragic but he's generally fair and tends towards building guys up than dragging them down.

So when he says Viduka is a knob, he's a knob.

 

Barnes did get a poor hand of cards - he wasnt in charge of signings apparently and every single one he got was shite. Our most expensive signing was literally called 'shietde.' Then Larsson broke his leg. And our best remaining player was an unprofessional surfbum. But Cest la vie.... a guy like Postecoglou or O'Neil rides the waves.

And Ive never heard him take a scintila responsibility for the way the wheels came off at Celtic, its always some excuse, the club structure/Dalglish, the press, the fans, board impatience, even the race card which really is weaksauce. And you can well imagine how somebody with that trait might lose a dressing room in as combustible a fashion as he apparently did.

 

Viduka was a very talented, lazy, fat fuck. Must have been frustrating as hell to manage.

Would have been cool to have seen Wright at Celtic a few years earlier, was spent by then. Quality striker in his day.

 

It's not just Celtic. He plotzed at Tranmere too. All his interviews now , he's not smiling, he looks locked and cocked, ready to throw down, always fighting a war from yesterday.

 

Jesus wept....

 

Tbf, he's not really imparting any less content than any of the others. 'I kicked the ball and it went in & the team won so i was happy. Now we need to go and train for the next game and eat pasta'. If horses could talk you'd have chance of getting an interesting thought after the grand national

 

I'M SAYING HE WORKED AT THE AIRPORT

 

Instead of postmatch interviews sky sports should just have a cantona's thought of the day slot. Cut to a satelite feed of him drinking port by his garden pool in Marseile. 'Commitment is an act not a word. Burnley do not understand this. Their offside trap is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance. But life begins on the otherside of despair". Cut back to Ed Draper & Jamie Carragher.

 

Liverpool winning from a deficit again.

Apparently Liverpool have scored in every game this season bar 1.

I might try,and fail, to get a tickee for the 2nd leg in a fortnight

 

Sounds like Rocco Vata is off from Celtic to Bologna.

I'd never heard of him

 

Quasimodo predicted all this. I know this much, Arteta can't come down my social club until he learns to win the big ones, that much I do know.

 

The tallies have been surprisingly hot on the Scottish league the last few years, they've taken 4 or 5. Aaron Hickey being a sore one from a celtic perspective. Lecce are also in for lagerbielke who Rodgers clearly doesnt fancy.

The another pattern this fits is celtic youth prospects never getting a chance to play and consequently moving on. You guys took Ben doaks and he got more game time at LFC than here. Might as well sell that shiny academy building to Asda

 

Somebody in from Rapid Vienna now. Big money. £3m.

 

Never liked the guys style of football and I also felt he besmirched the game with his scandals and total absence of squad discipline best typified by the dancing WAGS in 06. Not happy to hear he is ill, either.

Sven-Göran Eriksson reveals he has cancer and ‘at best’ about a year to live

 

I quite fancy that guy on first look (at his statsbomb data, which tends to be a decent predictor).

 

2002 was the chance. We were playing good football back then. 2004 as well to be fair, he kinda got found out a bit after that though. Sad to hear all the same.

 

Yeah 1-0 up Vs Brazil.

I always love how the commentator dispelled any confusion there might have been about who Michael Owen was playing for right before he scored.....

 

One of the weirdest matches I've watched. Fast start, goal, and then literally nothing after that. Even when playing against 10 men, it was such a limp exit. Brazil had a very good side but I think we got intimidated by the whole myth and legend.

 

No chance. Like golddust and simply wasn't prepared to pay for corporate. Sat in my local with the missus (a Pennywell, born and bred mackem) and had a skinful with her and the lads instead.

MTF

 

You thought we'd play a second string in a derby?

MTF

 

Same. Proper 'England' performance but you have to admit that was the last really good Brazil side

MTF

 

Yeah they've had quite good sides since then but not on that level. I was surprised how many pundits put Brazil as the clear favorite in 21018. Yeah they ran into Belgium early but even if the WC was a double round robin with a point system they probably wouldn't have finished better than 4th or 5th.
