Just hope we compete and get something out of it - a win would mark an amazing double over them... Need the whole team to play near their best and them to play without confidence... Ajer off early would help ! Hope we score some more good goals... ⚽ ⚽ I'm just hoping we score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo, Messi, Lewandowski, Neymar, M'bappe, Haaland. The first 5 are probably the top 5 in the world, and none of them play in England. Only one of them ever has. I’m happy for you to make this valid claim PB as it only serves to further make the basic point I’m trying to make i.e that the EPL isnae the best. That said, you highlight a relatively small group of top players and I bet they’ll all play n England at some point. I still think that overall the money will mean that there is a greater concentration of “top” players in England than anywhere else, but as I’ve already said, I don’t believe that makes EPL better, or more entertaining than the others. Anyway!!! Murn 2 Celtic 0 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway!!! Murn 2 Celtic 0 👍 The thing with the EPL is that eventually it will fail just purely down to the money clubs are shelling out in wages, once this happens and I dont think it's too far off with some clubs hemorrhaging money like they are then these 'top' players will just jump to another league. The financial pressure of staying in premier league unfortunately means that there are more teams grinding out results instead of the free flowing footy you would expect. Also the mess clubs who get relegated get themselves into if they don't get promoted back within the parachute payment time is quite staggering for instance Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds fall into that category albeit Leeds got themselves together eventually. Anyway celts are there for the taking again COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say most clubs FS, you surely cannot keep shelling out that amount of money without things going tits up eventually. I'm not naive to say that gate money alone pays players wages but it goes a long way to service debt along with all other matchday income. Clubs like Sheffield United not providing funds in transfer window for one. Whether they are being prudent and preparing for championship footy or genuinely no money is one. West Brom who may have went gun ho on desperation of staying up could come back to bite them in the bum. I'd say they are more.

paul torfason Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 So the club might actually be making more money this season (hence signing bropby)because we can now have at least 10 thousand at home games against old firm rather than 6500,and not needing security or police either and not losing sales at pie stalls as led to believe that's a franchise so we actually might be better off,just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a f**kin snorefest. I dunno... I glanced at the match’s progress during the ITV3 ad breaks of Midsomer Murders and was charmed by what I saw! Took me right back to the Gus glory years of stringing elegantly cautious pass after pass together all across the defence to midfield then back again. And again. And... Two hours of sporadic snore fest football, with every minute aspiring to be taken to “the next level”... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 So, I'm assuming there's no threat, from the weather, to the game tonight? As someone mentioned last week, at least there's no reason to postpone if the roads and surrounding areas are a tad dangerous. Hope them Sky people don't slip and fall on their arses carrying in all that expensive equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
