Celtic isnt in qualifiers every year...but you know that. My big club routinely makes it to the Group Stages and past. Your club? Relegated for cheating, home to bigots, and increasingly unimpressive against Championship sides. Obscure indeed.

That's great, but Celtic is no better than a Derby County or Middlesbrough these days. The Championship is a tough league when compared to many around the world though, so that isn't a slight to Celtic.

Crewe Alexandra. Just liked the name and then noticed they develop decent talent.

I think Celtic is better than Championship level...some years. It was just a couple of years ago that they beat Barcelona at home and drew them away en route to making the final 16 of the CL. This year: definitely upper Championship level.

stop making shite up

Celtic never goes straight into the group stage and has to play multiple qualifiers to get there.

in the last ten years the have made it to the last 16. 3 times and have also come in dead last in their group 3 times. They are no different than those Eastern European clubs who sneak in the last 16 once in a while.

Celtic are not a big club any more. Rangers was in the same boat before admin. Qualifiers then group stage maybe UEFA Cup after.

My girlfriend's good family friends are from Udine. Gorgeous little city and the mountains are absolutely stunning. They own a vineyard close to the Austrian border and I swear its the prettiest place on Earth. We try to visit as much as we can.

Yeah, I think Celtic is probably a top level Championship side this year, when looking at your squad. I've caught a few of your games on Fox Soccer 2 Go, as well as a few of your Europa matches.

Uh, I never said they went STRAIGHT into the group stage. I said they made it there multiple times in the last decade--which is absolutely true.

Their UEFA Club coefficient is 56. I think that underestimates their strength a little, but Celtic hasnt been as good in this five year period as the last five year period. Rangers is not ranked in the top 100, FYI.

I am a very casual Wolves fan. We have had a rough last 50 years, but we are on the upswing once again.

Can't imagine what Wolves fans have gone through in recent years. I actually randomly ran into Robert Plant a year or two ago while he was walking his dog in Austin. Lives down the street from my parents evidently, which is pretty boss. But anyways, I was out running in my Everton shirt and he started talking about Wolves and all that. He fockin' loves 'em.

Bet he never thought he'd run into someone in Texas of all places, who would rather talk footy than Zeppelin.
