ailsa to thread!

I'm sure Bellamy's opinion of Souness will endear him to at least part of the Celtic support if he does sign. Celtic need a pacy forward (Henri Camara, apparently Saints bound, wasn't it) and Bellamy The Player might fit the bill - Bellamy The Troublemaking Upstart Egomaniac, however, might upset a tight dressing room.

When we've already got Junhinho attempting to manage his career through the Daily Record we don't really need another highly paid problem.

Berkovic! We had Berkovic too! AND Viduka! Lord help us!

I agree with most of what has been said upthread. He is undoubtedly a very good player, and maybe a perfect out-and-out strike partner for Hartson (leaving Sutton free to play midfield, defence or a third, more free-floating, striking role), but he is a first-class arsehole.

MON's recent signings (Pearson, Juninho, Camara) haven't exactly set the heather on fire, and I'm not as sure about his ability to calm unruly players as some seem to be. I will therefore sit firmly atop my fence until he puts pen to paper and does something useful, or stupid, as may be.

(Add Ian Wright to the list of egomaniacal arseholes at Celtic)

Viduka took the biscuit (and all the cakes and pies) though, for refusing to play the second half in a game we were losing to a diddy team.

Not quite in the same league as those mentioned but big Ramon Vega had a habit of referring to himself in the third person, it was only being reminded that he was shite every 5 minutes that kept his feet on the ground (until he decided to leave for a 'more ambitious' club).

l....like this!

"There's only one Craig Bellamy
One Craig Bellamy
Like me and you
He hates Souness too
We're walking in a Bellamy wonderland".

The only thing he's done up here to attract attention is to be accused of beating someone up in Glasgow. Except that it failed to occur to his accuser to check and see if Bellamy was even in Glasgow at the time of the alleged incident (he wasn't, he was in a hotel in Inverness the night before a match up there).

His goal against Rangers yesterday was the best goal he's scored since the one he scored against Dundee Utd last week.

(I am looking for non-paying ways of seeing them on teh interweb)

Craig Bellamy is working his socks off at Celtic. He is being kicked upside down in every game, is getting no protection, and keeps coming back for more. He is scoring some sublime goals. So I really don't give a shit if he's giving Shearer a few home truths (though the last paragraph in the article suggests even that isn't true).

I've no doubt he's a bit of a prick, my reservations about him were detailed upthread somewhere.
I was merely pointing out that Scottish rags have an uncanny ability to publish a negative Celtic story before every big game.

I wouldn't file Shearer or Souness under "diamond" either...

he came very near your club. right by the goal, it was, if i remember rightly, as he was putting the ball in the back of your net. twice

anyway, £50 on bellers for prem top scorer in 06/07? should be able to get 20-1, right?
