But this season's competition is really all about THUN. I mean, do you hate THUN? No, nobody hates THUN.

Because the world hates us. (or maybe cos we were rubbish in the uefa cup that time or three.)

The second part of that sentence must be true at least, so it's fitting.

Was there ever anything more certain?

Oh, I expect you'll be "avoiding" them in the knock-out. Fenerbahce and Schalke would be nice in Group G.

The season they won it their group contained Bayern Munich and Barcelona.

That, and tactics apparently consisting of trying to scrape a 0-0, with nine outfield players around own box at all times. A pretty sight we were not. Immensely frustrating, though to be fair it has worked away in Europe before.
(Is there a UEFA cup thread yet I wonder?)

So that you can be down to ten man for the resulting penalty?

I'm glad you can remember that far back!
They were making a stupidly big deal on the Radio Clyde phone-in about how Rangers got the last two teams to end Celtic's involvement in Europe (apart from Villarreal). The pundit then suggested that Alex McLeish could ask Gordon Strachan what to expect from them and how to deal with them. I missed the rest through trying to repair my rapidly-splitting sides. FWIW, I fully expect Rangers to gub them about ten-nil and then laugh at Celtic for the rest of all time.

A battling, bludgeoning, ridiculously swashbuckling win in a game we HAD to win to have any chance in this group, even at this stage. Unlucky Porto played with 10 men for the last 10 minutes. Relief.
