Coffee & Tv: Lyon, Arsenal what’s the good of the Emirates Cup? – Highlights.

|

What did we learn from the weekends football festivities? That a gulf in class is bridgeable if you are fitter than the other mob or it was just a decent run out for the players, against high calibre opponents, who will be involved in Mission Impossible on Wednesday night.

I’m in the later camp.

The fear was that we were scared of getting near the opponents goal. That was put to bed with 4 goals and a host of missed chances. Samaras, again, has given those who like to flip flop another chance to flip flop. I don’t. I still have that taxi number on speed dial.

Zaluska can look heroic and hapless in the same breath. Rogne and Hoovield made an attempt to prove the notion that they are the best two centre backs at the club and why Juarez played over 100 minutes this weekend would puzzle Roy Walker. Mr Chips say’s what he see’s. He’s good. We know he’s good. We need good.

Murphy and Hooper scored. Forrest announced his arrival and now is being saddled with expectation, one of Jedward may have talent and Charlie Mulgrew can only be discussed after the watershed. Plus Stuart Baxter was bundled into the club, from the boot of a Ford Cortina, wrapped in an old living room carpet.

If all these comebacks got you misty eyed and dreaming of the good auld days then what about winning ÂŁ150 of credit to spend on classic Celtic gear from those good guys at Classic Football Shirts.

The Celtic collection is here.

How do you win the ÂŁ150 of credit to spend on some of that collection?

Answer this simple question.

Ian Wright is …….a) a knob b) a cock c) an ex Celtic and Arsenal striker.

Send your entries to thelordofthewing@hotmail.com with the subject as classic. You have until midnight on Tuesday.

Good luck and god speed.

    what did you think of cha ? he looked the part for me . same stupid scott brown though . “captain unsensible” did very little positive and nearly put himself out the game with another stupid lunge!i wonder if its in lenny,s mind to drop him?

      I’m just about to watch the first half of the Lyon game so will comment later. Scott Brown will be like a Fifer who has lost a voucher for Burger King when all midfield options are fit.

    Two positives this weekend, Cha & Juarez looked the part. Mulgrew’s inability to take the ball passed a player was infuriating.
    Fekn nightmare watching the games and my boy asking ‘ who’s that daddy’ and you can’t answer him.

    hooper wont get missed with the 88 on his back . where did that come from ? how long before the ” HOOPS 88 ” top is getting hawked by the superstore !!!!

    • lordofthewing says:

      His mother was maybe 2 fat ladies? I’m sure if he scores a few the superstore will be on the case.

  • gerard says:

    Oh! And can you stop asking quiz questions with multiple correct answers.

  • gerard says:

    HOOPS 88 certain ring to it. Think you’ll find it’s the year of his birth.

    • lordofthewing says:

      So it’s that simple. Here was me thinking that Celtic were keeping the number 7 for someone special.
