There are several parts of Tuesday’s performance which could be improved upon, parts which will be exposed by the rigours of Champions League football, but we looked like an experienced European team, one who could go away from home, roll with the early season uncertainties, but still have enough in the tank to win comfortably.
For the last couple of years we have watched a team mature while Neil Lennon has continued to add young blood to the squad. Fraser Forster has become an adept shot-stopper, puncher and kicker-with-both-feet. Joe Ledley has developed into a disciplined anchor in midfield while Adam Matthews, Victor Wanyama and Beram Kayal have progressed even quicker than I am sure the manager expected.
Last season’s Europa League campaign contributed significantly to the development. The team seemed to grow a few inches during the home win over Rennes, which propelled them onto the league title. A Champions League examination will present no fears but will expedite progress.
We could be on the verge of the first sustainable, successful, team development plan in 40 years, one that delivers titles, significant progress in Europe and lives within its means.

Yuki Otsu
23, that (22) Yuki Otsu of Borussia MG FW Germany part 1 was active in the London Olympics is to be transferred rental prestigious Scottish League, the Celtic became rich. Otsu three goals and activities in the London Olympics. where Japan had defeated Spain, based in Glasgow Celtic will appreciate the scoring ability, it was put out an offer of acquisition. Will be announced officially in a few days if negotiations together.
Opportunity to step up young striker has come to a break in London. The new world of Otsu I was not blessed with the chance to play in Germany, the prestigious Celtic Scotland emerged. Revealed as “going to be settled if the conditions are negotiating under an offer from Celtic. Anyway, transfer determines the” transfer of a limited time is the dense, official also close to Otsu. Transfer deadline in Europe and close to 31 days, but it seems to be agreed in the near future.
Olympic opener made in Seki Japan mound home Glasgow, Celtic became the trigger for the decision to acquire, was against Spain. Contributed to the defeat Spain was said bullets favorite final 34 minutes of the first half of Otsu. Interested parties visited the club will be glued to their play, lists Otsu boasts a wealth of momentum. I was taking out the winning offer behind the scenes.
Otsu was joined Borussia MG 1 part test to Germany in July last year, played last season was limited to just three games. London Olympics in anticipation of the transfer came and caught another club, “If you appeal to yourself” I scored 3. Also evaluated the world he was pushing the semifinals for the first time in 44 years in Japan. Was introduced as a player who showed he impressive “in Midfield offensive that led to the defeat Spain, had given a boost to the Japanese attack,” even at the official site of Federation Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) and. I pour out feelings, “I want to speak with the director. Sometimes I think there is also a transfer deadline. Going out” Otsu grabbed telling the world competition, the club’s official website on the 14th. Thought it was Celtic officials also received.
Someone appears to have kidnapped Messi and replaced him with an inflatable dummy.

Madrid happy regardless they have a goal and barca chasing the home win leaving spaces at the back should be a good last 25 mins

I am notorious for either te kiss of death or life on players performances…..I have tried it with myself as in
“I’ll never win the Lottery at the weekend”

Sadly it only seems to apply to footballers.
