As a Northern European, I agree. Nothing I've seen in Britain can compare to the intensity of games I've been to in Rome or Milan.

If Chiellini was playing, I'd basically give Celtic no chance of scoring.

:howler:

Home advantage should be cancelled out by the CL refs usually favouring the bigger team, since that's who UEFA will want to progress.

Southern European ref suits Juve more than Celtic, though. Would have been better for Celtic to get a German or Scandinavian, probably, in terms of style.

Think ITV showed Juve hammering Chelsea. Was nice to hear the likes of Townsend suffer. His all time great comment was when, just before Germany thrashed England 4-1 at the last World Cup, he declared no German player was good enough to get into the England side. :D

Actually, SKY are probably also reluctant to devote too much airtime to Celtic v Juve since they don't actually have coverage of the game. On ITV here. And you can never read too much into SKY's pro-EPL propaganda.

They have to fill the hours up with that sort of crap because their pundits know next to nothing about Celtic or Juve.

Won't be 4-4-2 from Celtic. Samaras will play from the wing and one of the midfielders will tuck in and make it a 4-5-1. Other possibility, with those players, would be Mulgrew playing CB and Celtic going for something close to matching up to Juve's 3-5-2. I thought the Shakhtar game was a...

I know Celtic's defence isn't much good, but I imagine they would occasionally stop an attack that gets past Wanyama before it reaches Forster. - - - Updated - - - Gordon is/was a very good keeper. Stuff about today that he may not play again due to his knee problems.

If the Pope quitting isn't a bad omen for Celtic, I don't know what is.

You may be disappointed to discover this game is not being played in 1967.

Celtic are by no means a terible side, but Juve are miles better than them.

If Juve play well, Celtic might not get far enough up the pitch twice to get dangerous set-pieces.

:tup: Juve shuld be going for as physical a line-up as they can without upsetting their own balance. I've said before, I can't see any way that Celtic can hurt Juve other than from set-pieces or bad errors from Juve. It'll be low-scoring. Could well see it being 0-0.

Couldn't be sure, so banned him just to be on the safe side.

Yeah, you go and try to take the moral high ground while supporting a club who has built its power on religious hatred. Do you join in with the pro-IRA songs?

Do you abuse children like Charlie Mulgrew or do you abuse children in the more conventional Celtic manner?

I'll just assume you're a glory-hunting tim prick then. Do you support the IRA?
