UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

I would love for Celtic to take a lead over to Turin as i think it would make for a cracking match in Italy. A loss tonight and i think that fat bird will be starting on the first verse.

A draw will probably not be enough for us to go through but the tie would probably swing in their favour. A no score draw will be seen by both as a good result as it keeps the tie open. A score draw would be good for the fans but probably not good in terms of progression.

A victory for the Bhoys and the whole world will be talking about US ... the club, the players, the fans and their passion, leaving Italians to console themselves with their fashions.

I wish a victory for Lenny (& his staff) and the young team he has assembled not only as a Celtic supporter but as a football supporter. While the team has not been assembled on a shoestring budget it gives hope to all smaller clubs that the latter stages of the Champions League is not only for the rich clubs.

Our young Lions tonight will be representing the underdogs all over Europe , the many clubs who due to lack of TV deals find themselves unable to compete in the transfer market. Any Celtic player who wants top move to a 'richer' club has the opportunity to do so tonight........ Step Up And Play.... as they say

 

Buzzing Ghirls & Bhoys Buzzing.
CELTIC 2-0

 

Yeah we've improved a lot away from home in europe this last year so you'll probably lose, chin up

 

2-0 to the Famous tonight and 1-0 to Juve in Turin. That will do nicely:icon_mrgreen:

Efe arrived in Glasgow an hour and a half ago.

 

It's 5:18 AM here in Toronto ... and I am BUZZING about today's match.

Can't sleep!

 

2-1 to us. Really hope Samaras makes it he can be the difference. Kayal was excellent at the weekend but he will be benched sadly. Really hope Ambrose doesn't play that long journey will not have helped.

 

when the * was the last time juventus didn't score in a match?

 

1-0 against Milan. In november. And Fiorentina managed to get 0-0 draw in september. These 2 are only games Juve hasn't scored in this season.

Edit: forgot about Lazio. 0-0 in november. So, 3 scoreless matches

 

I think it could be 0-0 similar to the Benfica game at home. A real cagey affair where nobody wants to lose. I think this Celtic team have shown they are capable of scoring and getting results away from home, obviously the first hour Celtic will be trying their hardest to score and pushing forward at any opportunity but after that if it's 0-0 I think both teams will be happy to sit on it.

I hope if we do go ahead early though then we don't end up in a situation like Benfica away where the 1-1 draw wad good enough to put us through and we looked lost as to what to do and came under siege and sat on the result far too early. I'd like to see us if we do go ahead show some composure and calmness and maybe try to add a second.

 

i don't understand... media showed juventus making a training at Celtic Park but newpapers claims they're training on Rangers grounds X_x

 

Really hope watt is on the bench today

 

Juve did train yesterday morning at Sevco's training ground. Then last night at Celtic Park and I believe will be at Celtic Park again this morning. Nothing special about this just our ex rivals trying to play with the big boys.

 

Today is * dragging in.

 

absolutely buzzing! c'moooooooooooooooooon the bhoooooooooooys!!!!

 

just wait

 

Money spent by both clubs assembling their squads.

 

I don't know how you can say that, Juve are not a team to be taken lightly, hope our players aren't as complacent as yourself. if a juve fan came on here and said this he'd get hounded. Your just gonna make us all look daft if we lose, Juve are capable of beating us home and away.

We're definitely the underdogs for both legs.

Well have to be at our very best to win tonight. Our players have done us proud up till now, lets hope they continue
