Sporting Lisbon leading at the Bernabeu. See what so called less well off clubs can do with competent management and organisation

Ladbrokes offering 7/1 Harry to score Spurs win! Invest!

I've a million quid on 2-1 at half time so I'm happy

Nice. Monkey on Dortmund to win 6-0 myself.  Won a free holiday in this month's Readers Wives too.

Surely the wife won the holiday?  Rule no. 1

That's good, but how did Spurs do?

Monaco and Sporting Lisbon's performances tonight against two European giants dispels the myth that big clubs like Barcelona should naturally stuff smaller clubs.The fact is with a competent manager,astute game plans and organisation,respectable results can be achieved against anyone.

Who were Monaco playing tonight?

[bennydorano]

Sporting let in 2 goals in injury time, nothing very astute about that.

Who is the most hated person at a Borussia Mönchengladbach match?
The fan who starts chanting "Give me a 'b', give me an 'o'..."

Yeah you will probably find Monacos top earner is on more than twice Spurs and their record transfer fee paid is about 20m more than Spurs but don't let that ruin your analogy.

As good as Barcelona are, you can't escape the fact that 7-0 is pretty embarrassing.  Could Barcelona have done that to the majority of the other teams?  Well, teams at Celtic's level or below, yes.

[T Fearon]

Sorry,I as a Celtic supporter and shareholder am not of the opinion that we should expect a hiding against Barcelona or anyone else for that matter.I expect and indeed demand better.Our clown of a manager was on tv tonight claiming nonsensically that he had little time (he's only been there three months) to work on the players (as if he had years and it would make any difference) to "mould a team to play against the best passing team in the world". If that's his attitude then what chance have we.

If Lawwell and Desmond think the fans are simply going to roll up on Champions League nights to sing YNWA and hear the anthem and see their team being humiliated and go home happy because "we're in the Champions League" they are in for a rude awakening.

Rodgers is weak tactically. He is incapable of playing the defensive containing game that is required in Europe. Celtic will dominate possession in the SPL which suits Rodgers gameplan. In Europe they will be without the ball for long spells and require a good defensive structure and this is not a strength of Rodgers teams at previous clubs. By and large he done well domestically in England but he was a failure in a couple of European campaigns with Liverpool.

I do accept that it's a very difficult task and they may not even win a point but the capitulation was a bit embarrassing.

[T Fearon]

This is a marriage of convenience and destined to end in failure (Winning the SPL is a foregone conclusion). Lawwell and Desmond wanted a so called big name, and too many so called fans, as evidenced by this thread bought into the Rodgers hype.Rodgers himself,overlooked by Swansea,figured he could resurrect his career at Celtic and pave the way for a quick return to England next summer.

She didn't  know I took the photo so I'm claiming the win.

I think it is more about giving the man a chance than buying into hype. Big target for this season was to get to Champions League. Let's see if we can build on that experience next year and so on. I have had my fill of so called fans trying to chase managers before they got their seat warm from Strachan, Lennon through to Diela. A couple of those came alright despite the detractors.
