Danny 0 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 With speculation rife about new players, but no new signings materialising as yet, what are your ambitions for this season folks? Personally, IF we make some smart and crucial signings, I want to see a credible performance in the CL albeit I don't expect any better than 3rd in the group, 4th if it's a group of death. And I think we're favourites in the league and should shade it for 3IAR. What about you lot, what are your expectations this season? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guivarc'h Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 It's hard to say. Even if we signed no one, our first XI is easily better than Celtic's. However, they have a squad of 30 whereas we have a squad of 16. We could just as easily be out of contention by Christmas 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy steel 0 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 If I knew how to embed Youtube, I would put up the Stones "No Expectations". Anything will be a triumph this season, any form of victory in any competition. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything will be a triumph this season, any form of victory in any competition. taking all things celtic in to account and the manner in which we played in pre season im far more optimistic than i was 2 months ago. depth in squad will be our biggest enemy. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 826 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Expectations = SPL title. Our starting XI is easily the strongest in the league but the squad numbers are low I worry about injuries. 2 signings and possibly a 3rd would give me much more confidence. There is no reason a cup shouldnt be added. In Europe I hope we hold our and dont be getting beat 4-1 by a team I cant pronounce. We seem to play better in europe as the underdog. If we avoid finishing 4th in the group stages and continue being in Europe after Xmas then thats a good run. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yieldshields loyal 0 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Win the SPL, anything else is a bonus. Same here. Would take another season of "anti football" if it meant we didnt get a pounding in Europe. The one massive difference we have over the unwashed is that we have a bond in our squad - the players do to an extent play for WS, Lennon has a lot to learn here. Half his squad wouldn't know each other from a Parkhead crackhead. As long as WS doesnt go mad with money and integrates young guys from the reserves early in the season before injuries, then i think we will be ok. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Now that we look to have brought in two damn good players in Weiss and Jelavic, my negative CL aspirations have become a lot more positive now. Still to be completed of course, but I don't expect a drubbing in that competition like I did. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flying Hippo Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm in a (probable) minority in that European football no longer particularly excites me and i'd always place domestic success before European success. I want us to win the league and i don't want Europe to compromise that. Anything else is a bonus 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
