How embarassing for you :D
No not really. I've always said with an "S" sound, but I thought the correct way was with a "K" sound. And apparently my mistake wasn't too weird:

The pronunciation of the words Celt and Celtic in their various meanings has been surrounded by some confusion: the initial <c> can be realised either as /k/ or as /s/. Both can be justified philologically and both are "correct" in terms of English prescriptive usage.

The word presumably originated in an Early Continental Celtic language, but it comes to us from Greek, where it is spelled with a kappa; thus /k/ is the original pronunciation. However in Mediaeval Latin, the letter <c>, originally pronounced /k/, shifted to /s/, a process known as palatalization, and many words and names borrowed from Latin into English after this sound shift are pronounced this way: centre, Cicero, et cetera. Thus /s/ is the inherited pronunciation in English.

Nice detail: Sun Xiang is now the first Chinese player to have ever featured in the UEFA Champions League. This is gonna be a sweet financial deal for PSV, I wonder if they printed an odd billion jerseys yet :D

Salcido was crazy good too both attacking and defending, plus without him Rosicky scores and the score is 1-0 leaving PSV with no chance.

I was also impressed with Kone and Mendez, though Tardelli should have come out after the first 10 minutes.

I thought Tardelli looked better in the second half. Kone and Mendez were great though and I wouldn't mind having the former at Juventus.

Andy, Burke, Eazy, help me out here.

You guys have seen that show "Fox Football Phone-In" right? I find them both pretty annoying, but more so the fat Liverpool fan. I can't stand that guy, and what pissed me off more is that he talked shit about Juve the other day. They had this question "Is Inter the best team in Europe right now?" And this guy called in and said that they weren't since Juve weren't in the Serie A...,you know the rest. The Chelsea fan agrees, but the Liverpool fan says "Well when they stop cheating they can come join the big boys" :( Today were at it again praising Inter, but that's besides the point.

Who gave these dumb asses a tv-show?
