    Kyogo. A phenomenon

    Pfft - mine in FM13 is superior, and I would never have the audacity to refer to myself as incredible. "Masterful," perhaps......"devilishly handsome, and hung like a donkey," also....never "incredible, however. These accolades need to be earned.

    FYI - Spartak injuries:

    Spartak's third-choice Artem Rebrov has joined top two keepers Andriy Dykan and Sergei Pesyakov on the sidelines after injuring his shoulder in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Nizhny Novgorod.

    "Rebrov sustained practically the same injury that Dykan had. Rebrov will miss at least the next few games," the Russian club said on their website on Sunday.

    First-choice Dykan has not played since injuring his shoulder in a league match on Sept. 29 while his deputy Pesyakov has been out for a month with a foot fracture.

    In addition, striker Artem Dzyuba will miss at least a week with a hamstring injury, Spartak said.

    Unai Emery's team already have several key players out with injury, including leading striker Welliton, captain Sergei Parshivlyuk, Russia international Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Brazil midfielder Romulo and Ireland winger Aiden McGeady.

    Argentine defender Nicolas Pareja is suspended for Tuesday's match.

    I really don't want to think this way, but I have a very bad feeling we will be knocked back to reality tonight.

    I hope I'm wrong.

    What do you mean knocked back to reality? The reality is we're a very good team and can compete comfortably at this level. Even a loss tonight would not be embarrassing as I'm sure our team will push Benfica all the way.

    Its some chance for the spartak keeper (whoever they bring in) to really prove a point, as there going to be very busy. Barca aint done a good 5-6-7 thrashing yet, so it'll be tonight tho, poor keeper :56: mon the hoops!

    Celtic manager Neil Lennon is using the taunts of goalkeeper Benfica goalkeeper Artur as motivation ahead of the two sides' Champions League meeting in Lisbon, with the stopper saying the Glasgow side employ negative tactics.

    Meanwhile, Artur's team-mate Rodrigo Lima feels it is important Benfica eliminate Celtic for the good of the competition.

    Also another point worth noting is that if barca win tonight and even if we lose spartak will come to celtic park with a fringe squad as they will even be out the running for 3rd

    My insides really can't handle the pre match build up, nervous as * for this game, a scored draw could see us qualify with a game to spare, but the worst case scenario could see an all or nothing game at parkhead against spartak.

    Please Celtic, lets do this the easy way for once.

    :50: Me neither. They're not winning games either so it makes you wonder why they're taking the high ground.
