Disappointing.

One of the few pleasures a gentleman has left is watching the fhilth being horsed in Europe.

 

You're still going to get that pleasure. Keep in mind they still haven't won a match and they still need to travel to Manchester which will be a whole different scenario as will going to Germany to play Monchengladbach. There still isn't a snowballs chance in hell of them taking a top two spot in this group and if they can't beat Monchengladback at home then there's only one home match left after that and it's Baraca.

 

They're in a tussle with Monchengladbach for third spot and I very much doubt they will find City so defensively unsound in Manchester while City will most definitely score at least as many again.

A bit of irony ...

 

Brendan Rodgers: Celtic would be major threat in English League

 

By Chris McLaughlin

 

BBC Sport

 

Brendan Rodgers says he understands why the English Football League has closed the door on any notion of the Scottish champions joining their set up

 

...

The EFL announced last week that no Scottish clubs would be invited into any expanded set up in the future.

...

"If you are another club playing in that league or Championship, or League One, would you want that type of threat coming in? I don't think you'd want it and that's the reality.

Oxford Dictionary: "Threat"

A statement of an intention to inflict pain, injury, damage, or other hostile action [...]

A person or thing likely to cause damage or danger.

 

No wonder the English don't want them.

I am afraid there is nothing wrong in using threat in that context. It would mean a threat to beat them on the football park which would cause psychological football pain. It is just the same if a striker is a goal threat. Another saying is we have got to try and hurt them which means in a football sense and not a physical sense.
