    Demba Ba is a handful Liverpool or even Arsenal themselves could have done with him

    Demba Ba is an absolute handful for Arsenal here. Slaven Bilic is still a maniac on the sidelines I see!

    Trying to grow that beard to make up for that Zidaneesque bald patch appearing on top.

    Can't believe arsenal didn't go into the transfer market to buy a world class striker. Really don't like giroud as a player at all.

    If they want to win the league they need a decent striker. If giroud gets injured who else have they got?

    Giroud isny even that good, hes basically a poor mans Dzeko who arguably isnt even good enough to play for a team wanting to win the League.

    I think he is pish aswell but if he got injured they have no one else unless they play Sanchez upfront.

    Besiktas were my Turkish team as a kid but tbh apart from Tore and obviously Ba I knew * all of their current players, half of them seemed to be ex-EPL kids who never got a game in England (Frei, Ozkayup). Their passing was terrible for the most part as well (pitch was shocking) but this Celtic side can hardly far any better in those stakes!

    And I know Turkey's a big country but tbh the 3rd best Turkish club shouldn't ever be better than Celtic, just chastening where we are at the minute :54:

    I'm sure I remember hearing that Turkey is the fifth biggest football market in Europe. It's a huge, football mad place. They are minted and we a poor going by their standards. On top of the financial situation, they have a country of 70+ million to get players while we have 5. Of course they are going to be far better than us in the current footballing world.

    In a perfect world 3rd in Turkey shouldn't be better than Celtic but right now it's a fair bit above us.

    Nope, this is the first time the tournament is "centralised" (so they said at the draw). Hence our game in Iceland being on BBC, not ITV who have the contract with UEFA.
