Anyone support any European football teams?

And if you do, are they in the Champions League, Europa League or any of these?

I support Celtic, and they've just beaten Dynamo Moscow to go into the play-offs for the Champions League.

Long live Manchester United!

I hate Man Utd.

I think they'll not be as good a team in a few years.

First they've lost Ronaldo, now that the credit crunch has hit Glaziers (owners) are running out of money, they're already in millions (if not billions) of pounds of debt so they can't fund the club, so they'll raise ticket prices so less fans will come bringing in less money, which means sponsors won't pay as much to the club if not as many fans are coming so they'll lose money there, so the quality of players they can get will decrease, meaning they become worse and teams like Man City, who are being pumped with money will bring them inside the top and Manchester United will become the new Liverpool, always looking like they could win the league but never do.

Celtic are playing Arsenal tomorrow. The first leg at Celtic Park.
The winner of the two legs goes into the Champions League group stage and the loser gets into Europa League group stages (formerly UEFA Cup).

I think Celtic will win 1-0 at home, with a goal in the first half around the 40th minute.

I think the second leg will be a 1-1 draw in London.

Shizz, you were up late! Placed your bets then, you sound certain!

Gutted, lost 2-0.

Celtic were good for the first 40 minutes until Arsenal got a free kick, the shot was going to be saved by the keeper but the ball hit an Arsenal player (who was actually trying to avoid the ball) and it went in.
Then, the second goal: the Celtic defender got a foot to it but it went in instead of around the post.

Means we have to win in London, 2-0 to get extra time.
Although, I can't see that ever happening.

[Driver of DOOM]

Yea that does bone chickens!

Celtic are playing Arsenal tonight away from home.

Can't see them winning overall, but I think they could win 1-0 tonight.

[emmetmcl]

Lost 3-1.

The first goal, the Arsenal player dived, and very obviously but they got a penalty and scored.

The second two where actually okay.

Celtic were totally outclassed. Though, they got a goal in the last minute of injury time.

EUROPA League it is then.

[Nikusakken]

I watched the match. It was ok though...

[emmetmcl]

Did you see how mad Boruc (Celtic keeper) got when they got the penalty?
