In general I would agree with you. But doing this on the day of a large scale attack by Hamas at least invites people to make that connection.

But it has to be said that that group got in trouble with the club over it, so I wouldn't want to criticise Celtic for it. Every club has idiot fans.

Celtic had one shot on goal after the 18th minute.
We werent good and Celtic fought great but dont tell me we werent the better team with more chances.

xG is 2,33 vs. 1,12 for us.

Yeah that doesn’t include the early one across the face of goal that Maeda somehow missed, and I’m not buying Calum Macgregor’s 1v1 as only 0.08 xG. But agree that Celtic played well, missed some great chances, but it was mostly Bayern for 70 minutes. Not convinced they should have sold Kyogo mid-season as he would have likely buried one of those early opportunities.

Madrid for some prime hate watching of City going out of the competition. Villa Liverpool will just be a Liverpool win.

Liverpool aren’t looking the best at the minute. Do not be surprised if Villa win tonight.

Madrid.

And if you find out Villa are leading, don't switch games! We'll all know who to blame if you do.

:lol: Thanks for the advice buddy. I can see Madrid winning tonight which is good. I want to assume Villa will give the scousers a game and make them have a nervous ending to the season with Arsenal hunting them down.
 
I bit late to the party, yet huge respect for Feyenoord, they have had some great games against big opponents and at the same time struggling with many injuries with key players.

Surely you can see how people might take issue with a bunch of football fans putting "victory to the revolution" on the same day that Hamas were rampaging through Israel?

We sold Kyogo for 10 million Euros. He is 30, his shoulder is fragile. He was brilliant for us, absolutely adored him but it's good player trading for reasons outlined.

We tried hard to get a replacement but it didn't happen. He wouldn't have been sold ( absolutely no chance ) if league title race was tight.

It was correct decision.
 
Gonna be goals at the Bernabau tonight. I rarely have the time to watch other teams these days, but I’ll make an effort to watch the second half if Madrid are fired up and in control.
 
It's a shame to see a player with Arda Guler's qualities start so few games. I hope he finds a new club in the summer.

Interestingly, Villa tried to get the game moved. Probably because they have Chelsea on Saturday evening.

Edit: We've also lost once in 14 at Villa Park.
 
No Rico Lewis or Nunes for City. Those two clowns are guaranteed entertainment when they're on the pitch. What a shame.
 
Other than Haaland not being fit enough to start, that starting eleven has me pleasantly surprised.

Just curious to see if Madrid will put us out of our misery quick tonight or leave it right to the death. Hate these games

Knowing us? Prolly concede an early goal or two. Just the modus operandi for this team.
 
Given Haaland is a bit useless vs Rudiger, I think they won't miss Haaland all that much today.
 
Christ it isn't half depressing looking at City with De Bruyne, Haaland, Doku, Grealish et al. on the bench and realising how far we have to go before pur squad is anywhere near competitive.
