Ok, naf title, but we have drawn the ‘Bhoys' in The Champions League qualifier, first leg is
the 18th August across the border in sunny Scotland – in The Emirates Cup we swept aside Rangers,
the current champions of Scotland with some ease, so on paper we should be able to do the same with
Celtic.
Listened to the boys on Fox talking up the quality of the Irish team the other night.
I was thinking do they know anything about the Irish team?
Yes the Irish did a job on Italy recently getting a famous 1-1 win. I know it's a draw but in
Ireland 1-1 has become a win.
But none of the Irish play outside of England, or Scotland play at a high or technical level other
than maybe Robbie Keane and Aidan McGeady.
We would love to see this today
The Battle of Britain is on.

Heading into the match Wenger cautioned into reading too much into the Everton results:
"I said many times that I believe in the team but you cannot go to any conclusion after one
game," said the Frenchman.
This morning, Tony Mowbray looked out of his window, saw the clouds and the threat of rain, and
though "a bit of rain will help our game tonight". He made his breakfast, ate it, enjoyed it, and
began the journey to the Lennoxtown training centre in a buoyant, if not overly-confident mood.
But, somewhere along the way, he must have ran over a black cat.
