When watching Real Mardrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich it is easy to be discouraged at the gap between where we are and the quarter finals of the Champions League, but despite the many hundreds of millions spent on both Paris St Germain and Chelsea, the standard of passing and decision making throughout their game last night was abysmal. Despite their win, PSG were the worst offenders last night, even the Great One was poor.
There is now a real prospect that no English side will make it to the semi-final stage of either European tournament for the first time since 2003, when Liverpool were last to drop out, at the quarter finals stage of the Uefa Cup…….. You’re welcome.
What struck me most watching last night’s game was Sky TV’s Gary Neville pondering how long PSG’s star players would languish in such a poor league. This is the French league we’re talking about here, not the Scottish Premiership, it’s Paris, not the ‘New East End’!
It’s easy to mock Neville but he asks an interesting question, will players always migrate to a higher-profile league? If so, there are more clubs than just Celtic in need of structural change.

…feckin system’s been most of the day here.
Last two Libertadores R5 games tonight:-
23:45 U.Chile (Chi) v Cruzeiro (Bra)
La U lost 5-1 away to Cruzeiro in their first match up, but sitting in second place (with 9pts), know that a point tonight will secure them a final sixteen place (and eliminate Cruzeiro).
Losing 1-0 at the weekend has dented La.U’s domestic championship aspirations and puts their game with Colo Colo this coming Sunday even more in the limelight. However, manager Cristian Romero said, they are treating this “one game at a time” and have a full strength squad for tonight.
Cruzeiro (4pts) are a team of talented individuals who just can’t seem to play as a team in this competition. With the exception of suspended holding midfielder, Nilton, Cruzeiro are also at full strength. Anything less than a resounding win tonight will see them leave the tournament.
Prediction – (Cruzeiro to get their act together). AWAY WIN (70%)
03:00 Santa Fe (Col) v Atletico-MG (Bra)
Santa Fe had eight players out for their weekend 2-2 draw with Atletico Nacional and will be hoping to salvage what has, for them, been a disastrous Libertadores campaign.
They have injury worries over influential Argentinian, centre mid Omar Perez. If Perez is fit they will likely play a 4-3-1-2 formation with Copete and Herrea leading the line
Atletico manager, Paulo Autouri is likely to go for a more conventional 4-4-2 and rely on the experience of Ronaldinho and Guilherme in midfield with recently fit, Diego Tardelli and Jô up front.
Santa Fe needing points tonight, Atletico know that a draw is enough to secure them a place in the next round.
Prediction – (mainly due to galo’s patchy form) HOME WIN (60%).

It is true.
Every time you think it can’t get any more ridiculous – Sevconian unearth another nugget.
Literally, in this case.
philvis was funny. There has been no-one close to providing that level of humour.
I miss a lot of the missing posters, Celtic First, chennaiseabird, DBBIA, Dick Byrne, subterranean and many more.
I hope we manage to keep good posters
