Paris isn't that pricey Stephbhoy. You'll pay a fiver for a large beer in the very centre. Wine, of course, is cheaper than in the UK. Don't get your Euros at the airport tho, as they are now stronger than the Pound. Try hitting up the 11th and you'll find it reasonable. Bistro Paul Bert is a smashing place for a meal.

Haha flights from Manchester got Paris from Birmingham for £86 struggling with Munich at the mo.

Done it before had flights to Milan for £20 from Luton and Barcelona from Stantead £25 just case of looking round.

My big cousin does it the way Wb does it but Wb you got to do it right away like Wb does (book) because the airline carriers get wise to the traffic volume bookings and just bump up there prices right away

Wb is lucky living right in the middle of England he has flexible options (y)

Rosenburg leading Ajax 2-0 on aggregate just shows how well Celtic did now.

Just seen they've put Ajax out! Thought they were average to be honest but done well putting Ajax out!

25 Aug 2017 17:43:54
As I previously posted, Rosenberg were tactically outmastered by us. They are a good team though and I hope they do well. What price us meeting them in Uefa Cup later stages.?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 20:43:15
Looking forward to the groups. Let's all be honest the group is a tough one. A fantastic Munich and PSG side, Anderlecht will be a decent side to. If we're going by betting odds we'll be competing for 3rd.

It's the CL and it's football, favourites don't always win and when playing structured and up and running BR has us playing decent football capable of giving teams a game we don't bow out to any opposition's.

It's going to be entertaining, it's going to give the club some money and allow us to see how far we've came and how far we have to go what's not to enjoy role. on the first game.
Hail Hail!

Great draw but just heard Barcelona are buying Dembele for £110 million. Not our Dembele but the guy who managed 6 goals in 32 games for Dortmund. Absolute silly money.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

24 Aug 2017 20:56:43
Aye but how miny de set up?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 22:19:54
I wouldn't be playing £110 million to have a guy setting up goals. Hell if they are willing to pay that for someone to assist a few goals they are welcome to buy Johnny Hayes from us. 11 goals and 24 assists in 44 games last season.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 23:30:15
Tongue in cheek Niall, as if setting up goals justifies a price like that! . Hail Hail.

Wonder how much the 3 match package is going to cost. Can't wait for it to start.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 22:07:23
Really like the way these fixtures fall!

Quick out the blocks and try and surprise PSG, Try pinch a point in Belguim then if it is third we are fighting for and let's face it, it probably is last game at home is the clincher for me (Y)

Think its strange the way Champions League games are structured, the back to back games I'm talking about! Is it just me or does anyone else think the same?

The middle games are always back to back.

Guys let's keep things in perspective. The only chance the Huns have got of seeing Bayern, Anderlecht or PSG is if they buy our three match package! We're there let's enjoy. Life's a journey not a destination! ☘️.

I think it's a fair enough draw.
Whoever we drew would have been tough, but at least we should be able to battle it out for third place if not better.
I'm glad we avoided the Madrid, Dortmund, and Spurs group, that would have been a real group of death.
It seems a strange system they use to work out the seedings. Two seasons ago PSG knocked Chelsea out, last season PSG got to the quarter finals and Chelsea didn't qualify for the competition at all, yet this season Chelsea are in pot 1, whilst PSG are in pot 2.
There must be a logical explanation for this, but I can't see it.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Aug 2017 20:15:37
Pot 1 was the league winners from the top 8 countries in the co-efficient Gerry.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 20:33:44
Pot 1 were all champions of the top coefficient countries hence why Barca, PSG, etc were in Pot 2 ( I think ) 👀.

Great draw for me, a bit of glamour, different away trips, and for me every reason to be optimistic.

What's the point of being in the CL if it's not to test yourself against the best?
In pot 4 we were always up against it. In fact Being in the CL we are always going to be up against it. I reckon we've a good shout for third.
Keep the faith troops.
By the way I hope neymar gets his cumupince of of big Mikel. Can't stand the man, maybe send on Ralston to half him.

Over the moon to avoid Barcelona and although it will be incredibly tough, it's always great to have the big guns roll up at Paradise. A win and at least a draw against Anderlecht has to be the target and then any points off the other two is a bonus.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

24 Aug 2017 18:55:36
A major positive going into the Group stages this season that we haven't been able to do in previously is being in a position to play a reserve team in the SPL prior to and after any CL games. Not risking players and being able to rest players will make a huge difference.

its a riduculous draw im absolutely gutted, i wanted an easier group to get to the knockout stages.

Ridiculous in what way? its the CL. What is an easier group at this level when you are in pot 4.

lots of other easier groups, i don't care about glamour ties I JUST WANT TO WIN.

Why the negativity, is this not what we go through the play offs for. Am buzzing, another educational trip for the squad and we might just pull of a surprise. We have done it before. Or would all you negative people rather be watching eastenders than Celtic in the Champions league.

Another tough draw. Great to be in the champions league but we might be playing for third already like last year. Two huge sides to face. Nice places to visit l suppose. Who knows we might spring a surprise at home against them maybe.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Aug 2017 18:00:42
Andy1969 coz it's a fecking farce designed to maximize the odds for the so called elite pish it's a no bad draw but it's a joke the champions league aye right hh.

Agree0 Disagree1

24 Aug 2017 18:01:05
Personally think its a great group two big names with nothing to lose wehn playing them and Anderlecht for chance for Eruopa league. that's if we don surprise even our ownselves by getting results nobody expected.

24 Aug 2017 18:06:24
I think PSG will be very beatable.

24 Aug 2017 18:14:15
Whats the point in wanting to be in CL then moaning when we get drawn against certain teams. Nothing to fear bring it on!

Agree2 Disagree1

24 Aug 2017 18:17:54
On what grounds 😂 I think we'd be lucky to avoid a repeat of what happened with Barcelona last season off bayern and psg.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Or we could repeat what happened against Man City against either of them, maybe even both.}

24 Aug 2017 18:30:57
I like your optimism ed.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - There's no point whining about it, it is what it is. No matter what the draw was there was always going to be the usual negativity from some quarters. You know the type, their first thought after we qualified the other night was to moan about the board gambling and not spending money or Bitton and how we'd get a doing in the group stages if the board don't buy CBs.
If we had drew Barca they'd have moaned about it being Barca again and even if we had got what was seen as an easier group they'd moan about it not being glamorous enough.}

24 Aug 2017 18:35:57
Ntcham and Dembele both be keen to impress v PSG no doubt National Manager will be attending both matches.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 18:40:36
Man city are not comparable to those 2 teams imo.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Really? You can't have watched much French football.}

24 Aug 2017 18:41:34
Also I was referencing the away games at home I think we all believe we could take points off anyone.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Well if you're proven right you can come on here and tell us all how you told us so.}

24 Aug 2017 18:59:41
I don't want to be proven right ed 😂 if I'm wrong I'll be the first on here to say it honestly I think we should be taking 7 or 8 points from this group and iv been wanting a run in the Europa league bcus I think we could have success in it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - That's better! A wee bit of positivity goes a long way - spread the happiness :-D

24 Aug 2017 19:07:57
Buzzin for it, should take at least 7 points.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 19:00:36
Got to take points home and away from Anderlecht or basically we don't deserve to be there.

A lucky win at Parkhead against one of the big boys, a big ask I know, and Europe after christmas is doable.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 19:06:02
they are currently 10th in their league, played 4 won 1, drew 1, lost 2 - definitely beatable for 3rd spot, that has to be our aim to get at least 4 points from those 2 games - and maybe a draw (or better) against big teams - but nothing to loose against them.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 19:13:28
Aye cause PSG with Neymar and probably Mbabe will be pish eh? Lol.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 19:24:06
Why does everyone expect PSG to be world beaters, just because they bought big, it's a team game, they wouldn't be the first side who's reputation overshadowed their actual results and performances,

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I love you man!}

24 Aug 2017 22:42:45
Great draw and a real chance of at least Europa league.

With a couple more players you never fecking know.

PSG will think they will piss all over us and hopefully we can part their le balls.

Either way losing to a €500m team is no shame as long as we take them on.

Plus. Another £30m stuffed into our pockets.

Bring it on.

Also, let us spare a thought for Sevconians everywhere who sit raging and spewing bile about how the world ****ed them over and we should be banned from the CL.

That should make everybody happy by itself.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Aug 2017 09:53:58
Lol. I'll go with that one as well. I'm happy with the draw tbh. A couple heavy hitters then i think we will take 3rd place. For us Europa league after the CL group stages gives us a cash windfall and possibly a chance at doing something in Europe.

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Aug 2017 09:57:36

I think we should certainly be aiming for 4 points off Anderlecht VT. They haven't replaced their main man and have started the season poorly. Hopefully those are still the cases come the tie.

How hard is it Jamie? Your maths (and gambling) is better than mine, but to predict the three opponents - is it a 1/ 512 chance? Seens high to me, but if so you can get Celtic to win the darn thing at 500/ 1! Anyway, for sh*ts and giggles I'll have a stab at

Monaco
Atleti
Roma.

24 Aug 2017 16:48:30
I'll go for

Monaco
Borussia Dortmund

Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Liverpool I will go with!

Dont think we will dodge a English side.
therefor my guess.
Chelsea

Gonna be Group D now

Juve
Barc
Olympiacos.

24 Aug 2017 15:51:49
We deserve a good draw! That said, Real would probably take points off every body. Them and then Porto and Liverpool for me would be the best of both worlds to me.

24 Aug 2017 10:36:11
Well we KNOW we will get hardest group, Celtic just do not get EASY groups. But that is why we want to take part in the CHAMPIONS league.
Bring on Real Madrid, Bayern Munich etc the bigger the better then give us a wee diddy team like Manchester United (sorry ED007 lol)

Believable0 Unbelievable1

{Ed007's Note - If we were facing last season's Utd team we'd beat them at CP and get at least a draw down there, this season I'm not so sure. Liverpool would be the easiest English team to face and unless tbey sort their defence out they're going to struggle in the CL, I don't think Spurs will do much either.}

24 Aug 2017 11:24:01
I wouldn't fancy Utd ed, think they are all wrong for us at least with some of the other teams the defending won't be as clinical.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 12:07:16
easiest group possible for me lads, and i hope we avoid barca, just because im sick of the sight of them.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 12:09:30
Lost count of the times we've been in a 'group of death' as the continentals say and I am expecting a roaster today - especially as a pot four team in this farce of a 'draw' .
There are SIX teams from England in the so-called Champions League, so it's a fair bet we'll get at least one.
Obviously the home games are our forte and if we can achieve third place it will be more progress under BR and European football after Christmas - which will add needed incentive and pressure to maintain domestic dominance.

Agree1 Disagree1

24 Aug 2017 13:11:06
There are 5 teams from England OaB but fair point! I'm hoping for Spartak or Shakhtar from Pot 1 and anybody except Man City or Barcelona from Pot 2.

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Aug 2017 13:29:01
My glamour group would be Real Madrid, psg, Liverpool. but I want a slight chance to qualify so I'm going for spartak Moscow, Porto, anderlecht. think we'll definitely land an English mob somewhere but!

Starting now. No now. No now. You get the idea? Anyone guessed yet who were talking about? Yup the zombies seems like a comedy show every week. They have this deluded obsession that brother Pedro is going to deliver week on week rather than accepting them for what they are an average Scottish PL side and won't get any further until their patient and accept for the next decade there is only one champs of Scotland. However puts on good showing watching them ponder around like a deluded bunch waiting for a miracle.

Also seen and heard from some of that bunch that some of there players are on par with ours. My guess is they hope that our youth squad isn't better than there first team however our youth squad seems to be pulling in better results in the SPL than that lot. Keep the laughs coming hahaa.

Believable3 Unbelievable0

24 Aug 2017 11:08:58
The same Pedro that hasn't even managed 3 wins on the bounce yet? Title winning stuff. We dropped 8 points last season. Three games in, they've already dropped 5. Bye Bye Rangers. Bye Bye.
