Anthony Stokes started the season with a flurry, scoring four goals in the first three league games of the season, but he managed just another three goals before the arrival of Leigh Griffiths two weeks ago. He has since scored against Aberdeen in the Cup as well as Sunday’s hat-trick against St Johnstone.
Three goals in 28 appearances is a desolate return for a Celtic striker, especially during a season where the team have been so dominant, and would have contributed to Neil Lennon insisting a striker, capable of scoring regularly in the league, was recruited in January. Managers often talk about needing competition for places, so it’s natural that we should extrapolate from the arrival of Griffiths. While we may see both strikers play together between now and the end of the season I’m not convinced the manager will have this pairing in his mind for next season.
A generous CQN’er, who would like to remain below radar, has offered £1000 sponsorship of the CQteN Dream Team, if 125 people submit a team. The Dream Team is your chance to select your team from those who have played 10 or more games during the CQN decade.
Select 11 players in either a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation; you’ll need a goalkeeper, two full backs, two central defenders, 3 or 4 midfielders and 2 or 3 forwards. You also need to select a manager from the decade.
The team judged as the strongest will be announced at the CQteN St Patrick’s Dinner on 14 March. The event is open to bloggers and lurkers but you can only enter ONCE. Closing date is 3pm, Sunday 9 March. There will be prizes!!
So far around 60 people have entered teams so we have lots to do to hit the £1000 target. For a comprehensive list of players who are eligible for selection, see CRC’s comment here. Email your entry to Doc here, and remember to include a manager: doccqten@gmail.com

Lads, when I said we were about a tenth of Citeh’s worth, it was of fthe cuff, off the top of me head.
Ultimately, the point is, as others have added to, that Lenny deserves MUCH more credit than the keyboard Steins give him.
Our value v Citeh? Probably nearer a fiftieth but whaddaya want on CQN? Facts? Statistics? ;))
man citys ground only holds 47000 and there were empty seats in the top tier of the barca section hence the crowd of 46000ish
The Brazilian national anthem takes a bit of beating, just like their team.
ITV neglected to mention the wrongly disallowed Pique goal – an honest mistake I’m sure…
Ol Freddie Gibbs , now he got his own national anthem, now that’s what am talkin bout Taig ;)

SSN say Man Citeh suffered a setback in CL. Whit? They have been papped oot!
Typical SKY B/S
Barca are indeed more than a club…..
The German taxpayers will testify to that.
Every top Spanish club has their debts serviced by Mrs. Merkel’s citizens.
Quite poetic that Bayern are still the best side in Europe by a mile.
Nearly 1 billion pound spent and still no further forward in winning champions league.
The itv, bbc and sky sports self proclaimed best league in world is found out once again in the champions league.

I’m trying to get a spare for TT but if I can get any more I’ll give you a shout on here.
Not a bad game and City looked dangerous when they occasionally got the ball but the 2nd goal was a body blow.
The commentator let himself down in the 1st half with his, `they don`t like it up them` comment.
Not cool!

I am a taxpayer in Germany and have been for 37 years. I can still recognize a great fitba team when I see one though. Barca are well respected here in Fitba Land and Bayern respect them too.
I had both CL games + 2.5 , including tomorrow nights games, so that’s down the swanky, need to put another one on tomorrow, and double up the odds .
Malorbhoy saw your reply will leave it with Oldtim. Hail Hail Hebcelt

Right movie time, HH
Gerrybhoy…..
Bayern didn’t respect them too much when they put 7 past them in 2 legs on their way to Glory last year.
Spanish clubs leach off EC taxpayers……Bayern pay their way……Simples!!

So Newcastle ban a Sunday paper for printing lies about Pardew. We’ve been taking constant crap from the DR for years and still let them walk all over us, especially so since the Huns died.
When oh when is Lawwell going to ban them? I know some will say a ban doesnt work, well give me the reason or reasons why.

Thanks for that, even the one ticket would be a result. My cousin never misses a game at the Toronto Celtic club. His last game in the flesh was when JVoH bagged that injury time winner against deidco. We ended up out till 4am. He still raves about that night :-)
