Celtic have always kept it respectable at the Nou Camp and I hope for more of the same. A win would be nice but a draw is the best I expect against them.

Haha.
I can see us being fired up against Schalke, Norwich put in a good defensive display but we didn't look at the races on Saturday. Hopefully that will be rectified on Wednesday and we can pretty much put ourselves through to the knockout stage. I'm not fearful of Huntelaar so long as we can cut his service, speaking of whom I believe he can talk with other clubs in January, wouldn't mind a bit of that at the Emirates.

lol, perfect way to end that little bit of discussion.
killswitch, did you see how Schalke beat Dortmund on the weekend? They can be ruthless at times with Huntelaar up front. Dortmund were playing a 3 at the back however.
Here's my call for the team vs Braga

Subs, De Gea, Valencia, Young, Carrick, Anderson, Chicho, Nani
Which leaves Carrick, Evra, Rio well rested for the Chelsea and Arsenal games coming up but with still a very experienced side who should be more than good enough to beat Braga (even if they are a better team away from home).
On form, at home, the above should get lots of goals and give experience to the likes of Wooton and Buttner (which will be invaluable in the coming months)

Hmmm... You do realise there are 35 domestic fixtures over those three days, right?
Not just European games.Hmmm... You do realise there are 35 domestic fixtures over those three days, right?
But this is the European thread...
Fair enough, just thought it more sensible to have an inclusive thread
When it's Champions League time, we don't (and shouldn't) care about anything else.

Booo! You don't know what you're missing out on
Although I doubt I could find another member of the forums who's find Coventry at home on a Tuesday night a tempting experience! Booo! You don't know what you're missing out on
OI! I went to Coventry away twice last season
Coventry at home on a Tuesday night would be loads more fun than sitting about watching champions league I don't care much about (and loosing every Saturday/Sunday game).
I miss lower league

I watched the West Ham game with my best mate (Soton fan) I don't know who found it the least fun tbh
