And if things work out and ManU get Real, there'll be zero teams in the semis

I agree with your sentiments about the English media, though on this occasion Liverpool were quite crap.
Giles, Dunphy and Houghton were disgussing possible replacements for Houllier afterwards crap.
Liverpool looked disoriented, and their strikers never got a sniff. Credit to O'Neill for prepairing Celtic so well.
I thought Lambert deserved man of the match. Anyone think different?
I just want Celtic to overcome Boavista first.
Having watched them now I realise that they are strong and well organised. Celtic will have to be at their best to go thro'
As for Lazio-Porto...whatever team wins that game must be favourites:down:
But hey...Celtic just getting this far has made my season
And with Juve still in the CL anything is possible...

WTG Celtic for kicking out Liverpool!
Great for Portugal that they have 2 candidates and they could even have a POR final, but I think Lazio will manage against Porto And then take the cup home to Rome.

Ir Boavista and Porto both win then I believe this would be the first time two teams from the same city would compete for a Euro trophy

Bryan, I saw your post in the pooler forum just now and I think we're battling the same issues, my friend. In Norway the English teams, above all ManU, is made up to be some kind of special phenomenon, world reference and whatnot, which severly bugs those of us who do not subscribe to that narrow mindedness. And when it happens the Englanders are dropped like bad tomatoes, it's hardly even mentioned. In contrast, triumph is celebrated in great fashion, press makes a real meal out of it.
And when your Celtic kicks pool to the curb at their own ground, the only recognition you will receive is "we didn't play so well, we were unlucky, we would have beaten them any other day".
Sound familiar?

The UEFA Cup no longer exists in the national press..Scottish only.
I payed a visit to a British Liverpool forum and the stuff I read was unreal........you would think Celtic had drugged the Liverpool players first then kidnapped their children to ensure they didn't play well...not a decent word about the 'tic....although they did wish us well and praised our fans which was something
Well in this stage all teams are good, so you have to expect strong teams and do your best.
And in these matches Celtic with Liverpool - Liverpool was the favourite and you went through :thumb:
I would like to see how much Celtic will make your season, if they win UEFA Cup
Barca :undecide:
