GSC, Cherries is a FUT GOD ill have you know. He should be listened to at all times.
The only person who can rule over his word is Andrea Scholes+

From BBC Sport:

Celtic midfielder Kris Commons claims team-mate Efe Ambrose has to take responsibility for his performance in Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat by Juventus.

Ambrose gifted Alessandro Matri an early goal, missed Celtic's best chance of the night when he sent a free header straight at Gianluigi Buffon from six yards, and then lost possession to allow Mirko Vucinic to claim a late third and virtually send Juventus into the Champions League quarter-finals.

Commons says: "The manager pulled him to one side and asked him if he was feeling okay. He said he was feeling brilliant. If he wasn't feeling okay then he should have said so. If he felt good then he should have put in a better performance."

If I was Neil Lennon I'd be putting Commons in the reserves for a month. What a disgraceful comment to make on the back of last night's game.

by GSC Wed 13 Feb 2013, 12:36 pm

Commons being a naughty naughty boy isn't news

by sodhat Wed 13 Feb 2013, 12:38 pm

That's harsh.

Maybe Efe could mention that Commons wasted chances to shoot by firing straight at Buffon time and again?

I was impressed with the other Celtic CB, what was his name? I forget, but he was quick for a big lad.

by Guest Wed 13 Feb 2013, 12:38 pm

Let's face it, Ambrose made two colossal mistakes on the Matri goal - first to let Matri get goal side of him, and second to watch Wilson clear the ball off the line and just stand there while Marchisio stuck the ball in the net (although the second one didn't actually matter).

But to come out and criticise a team mate like that? I'd drop him for a month, including the return game at Juve. Disgusting behaviour.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 12:44 pm

As Azzy said, Ambrose did make a huge mistake. CL knockout stages are a high level of football, mistakes like that below in a league where you don't have any competition Whistle

Bad of Commons to publicly say that about his team mate tho.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Wed 13 Feb 2013, 12:58 pm

I thought Fraser Forster could have done better with all 3 goals tbh

by Trebs Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:18 pm

Anyone up for a deal? After a midfielder.

by Marky Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:20 pm

Agree Olly, Forster being hyped as a rival to Joe Hart for England is proving to be unfounded.

Shame Ruddy got injured. He was in top form and really developing as a goalkeeper. Easily would have established himself as the number 2.

Hopefully he comes back just as good Smile

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:43 pm

Ruddy was doing really well this season, was a shame about his injury.
Is he due back at all this season Olly?

Might be back around April time I think. The injury was a lot worse than it looked. Had to have surgery, I believe he tore the muscle right off the bone! Ouch

He's developing into a top GK, and with Dave Watson the England GK coach on board here, he is getting the best coaching in the business. And it showed at the start of the season!

by GSC Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:47 pm

I've got some midfielders I guess

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:48 pm

I believe he tore the muscle right off the bone! Ouch

Ouch indeed!

He was impressive so Dave Watson must of had an effect.

by **Afro** Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:50 pm

Willing to sell Toulalan Treb's, but would be looking for an offer equivalent to his lawyers value. Either £16m cash or £13.8m + Kehl

by Trebs Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:56 pm

Toulalan's not of interest to me, sorry.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 1:58 pm

Trebandowski, ive left you an offer

Rather precise there Jafro...

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:02 pm

WHAT!!!!! a badman signing by Soddy! I cant believe I missed KPB!

Soddy, fair play. Im a fan of KPB. Not doing so well this season but hes still a good good player IMO.

by sodhat Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:03 pm

Not my prime area of concern really, I want a right back. But he gives me a change of pace in the middle if I want to mix it up.

Yep. That was his lawyers offer value, or the same with Kehl's TM value taken off Ok!

by Guest Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:06 pm

Really it should have been Kehl's lawyer value taken off, if you're being fair... Wink

by Trebs Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:08 pm

Well, either way, I'm not paying it so it's irrelevant Laugh

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:09 pm

Still a good signing Soddy. Went under my radar & I actually would of signed him if I noticed, ive got the cashola

by Trebs Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:11 pm

I agree Zebs, Boateng is a terrific player.

by sodhat Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:12 pm

Zinedine_Ze_Zebra wrote:Still a good signing Soddy. Went under my radar & I actually would of signed him if I noticed, ive got the cashola

Well I'm open to offers to be fair ZZZ, he probably isn't an every week starter for me in my system. I'm not above turning a quick profit Very Happy

I wasn't being fair though

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:16 pm

Haha, Soddy I would buy him but im on the hunt for a DM/CM

by GSC Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:19 pm

I be open to offers ghost

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:22 pm

haha, Ive GSC, can cant negotiate a deal between us so no point in me wasting you time

by Guest Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:24 pm

I like Boateng, but he's like a slimmer version of Adel Taarabt. Just when you think he's going to come good, he never quite gets there. Capable of great skill though.

by GSC Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:25 pm

Heh, I'd probably take your first offers on Pogs, but lowering the price isnt condusive to negotiating a deal lol.

Afternoon Guys Euro Division Homepage XLIX - Page 3 3559488474

Everyone looking forward to this evening's football be interested to know if had to make a XI out the 2 sides what people would come up with Whistle

by GSC Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:27 pm

-----------Casillas
Rafael--Pepe--Vidic--Evra
--------Alonso--Khedira
Ronaldo----Rooney----Ozil
---------------RVP

off the top of my head?

by sodhat Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:28 pm

Marcelo >> Evra
Ramos > Pepe
Arbeloa and Rafael is a debateable call.
Would personally make space for Modric in my side too, but he doesn't seem in favour over there.

by GSC Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:29 pm

Can't say I really like Ramos or Marcelo honestly

by sodhat Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:31 pm

What do people make of Essien at the moment?

Seems to be playing a bit of RB and I need an RB...

I'd play Ramos at RB ahead of Rafael, but other than that, that looks good to me. Maybe drop Khedira for Michael 'World Class' Carrick?

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:33 pm

but lowering the price isnt condusive to negotiating a deal lol.

Nando:

D López
Rafael----Ramos----Pepe----Marcelo
Khedira----Alonso
Valencia----Rooney----Ronaldo
Robin

by Trebs Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:35 pm

De Gea
Rafael Vidic Ferdinand Evra
Carrick Cleverley
Ronaldo Rooney Young
Van Persie

Something like that?

by sodhat Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:36 pm

What, no love for Alexander Nicky Buttner?

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:36 pm

Casillas is injured people

by Gregers Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:37 pm

I'm selling if anyone wants a mid, except for Isco. He has informed me he isn't leaving his flat share with alguesuari...

by **Afro** Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:41 pm

I detect a slight United bias in that team Trebs Laugh

Ramos is immense, I can't believe people wouldn't have him in their team.

Mine would be close to Zinedine's, except I would definately find a space for Ozil. Probably ahead of Rooney or Valencia. The guy has improved so much since he went to Madrid and if United focus too much on Ronaldo, then Ozil is going to kill you

by Guest Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:41 pm

Nando said "if had to make a XI out the 2 sides what people would come up with" - hence why we're including Casillas Wink

--------------Casillas
Rafael---Ramos---Pepe---Marcelo

That's how I'd go in a perfect world. Still not sure on Rafael over Arbeloa but he offers more attacking.

by Gregers Wed 13 Feb 2013, 2:47 pm

De Gea
Ramos - Vidic - Pepe
P.Jones
Ozil - Alonso - Khedira
Ronaldo - RVP - Rooney
