Football's Battle Of Britain 2002

Well this week it's the first leg of the UEFA Cup tie between Blackburn Rovers and Glasgow Celtic.

So who do you think will win, do you care at all, do you like football or do you just watch it cos they've got nice legs(Yes T I'm looking at you

)

I think Celtic will win over two legs..think Blackburn will draw the game at Blackburn but lose in Glasgow.

Never underestimate Blackburn.

(remembering Newcastle's 5-2 drubbing against them a couple of weeks ago)

The Scottish Premier League is way smaller than it's English counterpart.. Celtic and Rangers usually are the victors.. I wonder how they would cope playing against some of the English Premier League teams??.. I know it was talked about not so long ago of the two leagues amalgamating, but was decided against.

May the best team win.. doesn't bother me either way who wins...(though i must admit, i was pretty happy last Wednesday when Newcastle beat Juventus 1-0 at home.. probably will be their only win in Europe

)

Sydney You can lead the whore to culture but you can't make her think!

I guess seeing as they gave me my first job and the ground is just down the road then I should be gunning for Rovers to win. I've severely lost heart in football at the moment coz my team is dying a massive death

DJ Billy You can't really dust for vomit.

Might sound strange, but I'll be supporting Celtic. Nothing against Blackburn - it's just that Liverpool and Celtic have had very strong ties for the last 25 years

To be honest, I don't care. I can't get worked up about domestic European tournaments featuring clubs whose playing staff is largely made up of foreign players anyway. So, unless Southampton ever qualify for Europe, it's gonna be more a case of "Flippin' football has disrupted the TV schedules again!". Of course, it's a different matter when the national team plays and I'm as passionate as the next footie fan.

I'm more impressed by the fact that Saints overcame a 2-0 deficit to defeat Fulham on Sunday

Well Blackburn had a great win on Saturday against Arsenal (2-1) and that was without star man Damien Duff or Andy Cole. Celtic also won at the weekend beating Dunfermline 4-1.

Blackburn are looking like a really good side just now and I feel that Cole & Yorke could be the best buys Souness has ever made...both seem to have the hunger back that they had when they started at Man Utd and at 30/31 you have to think they're hitting the best years of their careers.

Should be a great game

CJL Don't be sad, don't be blue, Scotland can win in '82 (earliest childhood quote)

Bit of a toughy this one.
I usually support all Scottish sides in Europe, and even more so in the 'Scotland v England' battle of Britain games - remember Liverpool v Celtic & Leeds v Rangers, but being neither a Celtic or Rangers fan (there's 10 other teams in the Scottish Premiership y'know, and I'm a Hearts supporter) and also being a fan of Graham Souness, I'm finding it difficult picking a side.

Whatever the result, I'm sure they'll both be fine games, but if I had to put money on it, I'd say Celtic will go through.

Yeah right! Ain't gonna happen dude. You keep dreaming. Go Dolphins!

Oh it soooooooooo is! The Packers will blow the Dolphins away

Favre will be back and rested up ready for the game, and he's the best QB in the NFL for a long time. And the defence/offence and special teams are all playing excellently, hence the 5 game winning streak.

Dead Dolphins, coming up

That would be the same Glasgow Rangers who were eliminated from the Uefa Cup by an unknown team yeah

PS - At least Aberdeen got put out by a decent German side

Well my beloved Blackburn lost and I was gutted

Thinks may be very different at Ewood Park but I'm not confident about them being victors really...

But, "COME ON BLACKBURN!!!" anyway
