UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

For some reason I never had you tagged as someone who liked a puff :smiley-laughing002:

 

Yeah love a bit of reggae ...sound like you have the right idea

 

Pirlo always looks like he's stoned.

Buffon: “I have played here before with Parma and Juventus. And it is a typical British atmosphere. We know what lies ahead. The crowd can certainly help and give a boost to the players, but only up to a certain point. As far as I'm aware, no spectator has ever scored a goal.”

Conte: "Kwadwo returned yesterday and it would be asking too much of him to play after being away for a month and a half. He’ll train and will be ready for Saturday’s game against Roma"

Buffon
Barzagli-Bonucci-Caceres
Lichtsteiner-Vidal-Pirlo-Marchisio-Peluso
Vucinic-Matri

If Celtic try to force Pirlo out of play, then Bonucci will look to build from back. He has great passing range but is prone to odd mistake.

Pirlo back in november: “The opposition? I’ve been man-marked for 10 years and I’m not even a Trequartista."

 

yeh baby dont worry about a thing cause every little thing is gonna be awrite is quite a good lyric right now

 

I know the crowds are always brilliant at these games, but it's always a wee bit patronising to hear it described as out 'biggest weapon/asset' etc etc.

Does a huge disservice to the players.

 

North stand upper

 

Oh aye, not everyday like most people, just a few times a week

It's funny - in Britain, if someone looks (or is actually) stoned they will get negatively stereotyped and be sacked from their work.
In Italy, you just look cool as *!

And Buffon's quote is correct and humorous - yes of course the fans can't actually play the game, but I genuinely believe there is some kind of magic - or curse for the away team - around Celtic Park.

It was our 125th birthday, and we beat Barcelona - the greatest team ever to have played the game. The remarkable nature of that should not be forgotten amongst all the media hype and furore. I truly believe the atmosphere of Celtic Park had an effect on the Barca players. Would Xavi have missed that crucial - and basic - interception at any other ground? Would Messi, Iniesta and Villa have missed so many shots anywhere else?
Would Barca have neglected their tiki-taka and resorted to old fashioned "pumping it" anywhere else?

The Juve fans are all sitting back, comfortable and laughing at what they (wrongly) perceive to be arrogance coming from the Celtic fans. They think they will win comfortably, and they are expected to.

But there is a reason Celtic have only ever lost to one team at home in the Champions League. I cannot tell you this reason, as it is unspeakable, invisible and illogical. Just believe me, Celtic will not lose at Paradise.

 

So excited.

 

I think we might line up in the same formation as Juventus. We have played with 3 at the back this season. The Mulgrew Wilson partnership in a back 4 could be a bit dodgy. I have my doubts weather Ambrose will play and i dont think he should. Arriving back in Glasgow less than 24hrs before KO. Would quite like to see this team.

..............................Forster

..................Lustig.....Wilson.....Mulgrew
Matthews.............................................Emillio

.............................Wanyama
.................Brown....................Ledley

......................Hooper.......Samaras

Thats about as solid as Celtic can be. Commons would come in for Sammy if he is still injured. Forrest is an ideal sub to take on with 20-25 minutes to go. Ill go for a 1nil to the Hoops.

 

Like a wean on Christmas Eve.

Intae these *, Celtic!

 

Right, I constantly change my team but I think I`ve settled with one. This isn`t actually the team I would pick but the one I think Lenny will go with. Personally, I think Kayal and Commons are absolute must starts but don`t think they will

--------------Forster----------
Matthews--Lustig--Wilson--Izzy
------------Wanyama---------
-----Brown--Ledley--Mulgrew--
-------------Hooper-----------
------------Samaras----------

 

Totally love this post
