any word with wots happening with the sion mob?uefa gonna just throw cash at them or they gonna get to play????

lenny is just turning corners that all

im very jealous of lennys team

12 points behind in 3rd place, 1st win in europe in 3 years is really heart breaking

wee lenny has turned that many corners he is dizzy and im jealous of that

Only two players? So Vidic,Evra,Van der Saar,Rafel,Scholes did not Feature in the CL final..

It's clear from that line up that played against Rangers it was not his strongest team..Berbatov was not even playing

if they are decent why are they bottom of the group?

chaz give up mate it was years ago, its something that is impossible to prove unless you interview fergie and he confirms it

so if the gers get a decent result against manu there has to be some conspiracy

Enjoyable game to watch last night.

Two teams trying their best to out-do each other in terms of rubbish defending.

no they are'nt they lie bottom of a e/l group and sit currently 6th in their domestic league

perspective please.
===========================

Eh? And where do you think Celtic or Rangers would be sitting in the French league?

Any one of their players would walk into either of our sides.

Do you think we're playing in the EPL or something?

Perspective...... The irony is amazing.

hfh.. Conspiracy,why? Ferguson took the win against Rangers for granted and it backfired on him

Some of the bears seem a tad annoyed at Celtics triumph last night...

Indeed.

Mentioning that they're sixth in their league(Although they're three points off third and six off second spot) and talking about how they're bottom of the group when Celtic, Udinese and Atletico put them there....Is kinda desperate.

-----

because the other teams in the group are athletico madrid and udinese two very good sides, and celtic managed to get 2 good results vs a decent french outfit, cant be that hard to get your head around?

Dos dados, Rennes are a very good pressing side. And, they are not too shabby defensively if you look at their league form more carefully.

They've only shipped five more goals than PSG( the league leaders) this season. And have conceded the same as the team in second spot.

Arsenal are sniffing about one of their defenders too.

And let's remind ourselves of the French internationalist who got owned by Forrest and Commons too.

Comparing our performance last night against what was a good defensive display from a Rangers team, who rode their luck on occasions, whilst having their first team squad to pick from is not applicable in this situation.

I though both Celtic and Rennes played well last night. They pushed us, tried to muscle us off the ball....But we showed great heart, concentration and we were clinical....And all that with plenty first team players injured.

Do you only dish out praise only when your team has been praised first?

That's kind of stingy of you.

Dos Dados
Even you know, but are not prepared to admit it, Ferguson did not want to beat Rangers last season. As he said once a bear always a bear. Ferguson tried a new tactic with no player going into their opponents penalty area especially if ball was in the area. Rangers had their perfect 6 men strung along their 18 yard line and 4 men 25 yards from their goal.

Ferguson..Setted his team up to stop Barca playing..Nani got man united poty last season,he never started the final...that was not Man united strongest 11 that played Rangers at Old traford..Vidic,Rafael,Evra,VDS,Nani,Anderson,Giggs,Scholes and Berbatov did not play or start the game.. Fergusons plan backfired

WTF happened to this thread

Actually, the OP has made a good point, it does tend to be kind of one extreme to another with Lenny but I honestly would put that performance last night in the 'outstanding' bracket for a few reasons.

1. A Scottish team beating any team in Europe, particulary a French one is probably regarded as an achevment nowadays.

2. The fact that he had half a dozen automatic first team regulars out.

3. The fact that the result was thoroughly merited.

4. Last but not least, the pressure on all at the club going into the match.

Have to say that I genuinely believe we might have got ourselves another cracking prospect in Adam Mathews. Between him and Izzy I cannot recall two cracking full backs in our team at once. Christ it was hard enough having one for years. Hail Hail
