We'll be waiting.
Cozen, your 'camarabaderie' was terrific! - and so were so many others' tremendous gags.

Fingers crossed Nakamura turns out to be the money spinning deal they hoped for (assuming he doesn't find a way out of singing, that is).

I like Gordon Strachan a lotSo do I, when he's not managing Celtic. He's always good for a jokey press quip, seems to be mostly a nice bloke, and was always good value as a pundit. Seeing him standing with his arms folded watching goal after goal being scored against us and NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT showed that he's out of his depth.He's only got a one year contract, I can't see him even getting the chance to make up for this "blip" (I see it more as an embarassing disgrace myself).

I can see Everton boring Villareal to death. In fact, I can see them boring their way to the quarter finals and possibly beyond. That would be my tactic anyway.

I think we may score one or two and get a bit excited then we'll concede and away goal that will kill the game.
That Chinese bloke (Du Wei?) we've got on trial is HUGE.

And, guess what? We've got a Polish centre forward again! Mind you, this one might take all season to notch up four goals.

I remember against Neuchatel Xamax at Parkhead, we needed to win 4-0 to overturn that disaster. We were all totally confident until about ten minutes in when Charlie Nicholas put a penalty into orbit and I was all "oh well, maybe not".

Actually, I don't know yet whether to be proud of them for the effort they put in tonight (Lennon and Hartson in particular were immense) or still angry that they fucked it up so badly that they had to put in that superhuman effort in the first place.
Perhaps Gogs should be kidding them on they are five goals down before the start of every game. They might make a bit of an effort. Except the opposition won't actually really have the luxury of defending a skooshy easy big lead so might actually have a bit of a go at us. Hmmm. This may be why I'm not a manager.
What is worrying me is a quote in the Celtic fanzine attributed to Strachan "Forget this nonsense about tactics - good players make good teams so the more I have around me, the more chance me and the club will have of success".
I googled that quote and found it. I also found this from a post-match press conference when he was with Coventry. "I pointed out one or two things because mostly football - despite all this nonsense about tactics - is about whether players can pass the ball to each other. Tactics come into it when you are playing well and passing well."
I am ever so slightly afraid for the season now.
