Who do all other bears want rangers to get in monday's europa league draw? I honestly want us to get the arsenal!

14 Dec 2019 20:44:09
Malmo for me sgl good chance of progression.

14 Dec 2019 21:14:16
Whoever represents the best chance to progress then a glamour game.

14 Dec 2019 21:16:10
LASK it would be good for co-efficient as well since Austrians are near to us if we could knock them out it would be ideal.

14 Dec 2019 21:26:49
I’ll be honest. I’m not sure we will go much further. I want inter Milan. Man U. Ajax or arsenal in that order. I want my son to see the big names which I grew up watching that’s what Euro nights are about for me. From watching fran sandaza and Ian black to possibly lukaku Sanchez pogba lacazette. I know there is money involved in further stages but I want the glamour tie.

14 Dec 2019 22:47:10
Anyone for me, I've got confidence in our team whoever we get, too many downbeat views on our team, we're better than a few of those teams we may get, and the equal of others.

14 Dec 2019 23:40:21
I'll take anyone tbh, there's a few tricky teams in unseeded pot just the same. Wouldn't fancy celtic chances drawing frankfurt wolves etc.

15 Dec 2019 00:29:53
I honestly don’t,

15 Dec 2019 07:36:21
Arsenal for me too SGL.

15 Dec 2019 09:24:07
Who's the weakest team to top their group? I want them. The further we go the better financially and we need to balance our books. A pity about that damn last minute equaliser and the red card.

15 Dec 2019 09:26:00
Any team in the next round will be a tricky one All good teams left in it, Anyway hopefully 3 pts today, Make my Birthday a better one, Off to the Casino I go, Won $500 last night Hopefully another win tonight, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎🍻.

15 Dec 2019 09:40:13
SGL - Manchester United for me mate.

15 Dec 2019 09:45:39
Man for man Arsenal are better, but we have a better defensive unit and midfield unit. Get right in about them and we could win the tie. Arsenal have never been as utterly spineless as they are right now. Would be a brilliant chance to show the English how good we are.

15 Dec 2019 09:57:40
Happy Birthday mate!

15 Dec 2019 11:09:59
Arsenal would be great because easy for me to get to but like Wolves and gubbing them home/ away great wake up call for English media. Arsenal even more so even tho don't think will happen. But you never know because their not top notch at mo.

15 Dec 2019 11:06:43
Want man united . An easy win 🤣🇬🇧⚽️.

15 Dec 2019 13:00:02
Cunny remember, when the fun stops, stop!

16 Dec 2019 11:22:52
Thanks Snell Seeker I hear what you are saying, The fun stopped mate after I won another $700, Just in time to watch the Famous in the casino sports bar, Had a great weekend 39 degree heat just a tad warm, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇺⚽️👍😎🍻.

14 Dec 2019 14:46:59
Don't know what brendan rodgers is smoking, but he's definitely on something rather strong. He's stated that steven gerrard and scott brown are 2 of a kind 😂😂? I spat my coffee out when i read it fellow bears! Scott brown will never be classed anywhere near the ability our manager steven gerrard possessed! God almighty donkey and thoroughbred are most definitely the correct adjectives here. A world class iconic midfielder and a mediocre midfielder who could only do it in scottish football because that's why he wouldn't leave his comfort zone, as he would have got found out and exposed badly and i'm not being biased at all, when i state that!

14 Dec 2019 16:58:31
Surely even the bitterest wee Sevcologists must even laugh at that one.

14 Dec 2019 19:21:54
Much like how Mcgregor was found out.

14 Dec 2019 21:50:21
Dd1, ide say with your comment you must be scoring aff the same guy as Brenda.

14 Dec 2019 23:00:16
Double d, McGregor isn't a world class goalkeeper. He is very good but not in that top bracket. Broon is not even very good but to give him credit, he knew he would never amount to anything down south in the top league so had the good sense to stay put and pick up wages from you lot for strolling about snarling, elbowing and generally playing the cardboard hard man.

14 Dec 2019 23:17:00
Apart from the hundreds of games McGregor played, the millions earned and the FA cup final appearance eh dd1? If that's a failure then sign me up to being a has been!

15 Dec 2019 01:38:37
Stevie g never behaved one iota the way brown does . Our manager has total total humility . brown like Griffiths ( wioein his nose on our crest . flying tricolour in the Broomielaw . tying scarfs to Goal posts . inciting riots . cheating at every turn . as I say brown and Griffiths. the Celtic way lol.

14 Dec 2019 10:49:55
Looking at tomorrows game. I think the back 4 picks itself now.
Gregg's, tav, katic, goldson and BB
In the middle if Davis is not back I'd go with Kamara, Arfield and Jack.
Up Front Morelos starts. We have to give Greg a start. I'd drop Kent. he's an empty shirt the now. he's like Ojo, got bags of talent but doesn't produce often enough and also does stupid tricks on the halfway line. Both are frustrating as hell to watch at times. I would also look at giving Barker a run. We needs fresh legs. Thoughts bears?

14 Dec 2019 11:13:15
Yes we have improved - no argument there but we haven't won any of our last 3 BIG games, which could have had us top of the league, with a cup and top of Europa group, which would have given us a better draw in next round!
The next round of league games come thick and fast, most away from home and none of them easy. We need to step up to next level and start to score goals from all areas of the team to do so.
Onward and upward.

14 Dec 2019 12:10:47
I agree Bar72, if we want to win trophies we need to move up a level. I think we are 3 players short. We need a goal threat from our attacking right side, and I would like to see an no.10 brought in and a target man that will attack the ball in the box. This would give us options to change the formation and hopefully someone that would make use of the number of crosses we put into the box.
I think for the most part we do put in good crosses, unfortunately most if the time no one is there at the end of it to challenge for the ball which makes it look like a poor cross.
AS1974 no way Barker should be in the squad, especially when Jones gets back. Kent on his off day still better than Barker, even Ojo is a better option in my opinion and he isn't exactly doing that well. I will say he may need a run of games but from what I have seen of him, no.

14 Dec 2019 12:15:33
Kent got his contract now he looks
He looks like he couldn't give a toss.

14 Dec 2019 12:31:42
I'd get rid of Kent OJO n Aribo 3 of the together aren't worth 7mill cut our loses on them I'd pick Jones n Stuart before them any day.

14 Dec 2019 12:40:51
I agree with your comments JC about signings but why not Barker? He was decent for Hibs with bags of pace but we can't bring him in for 1 game and back out that team. It will never work. I think we need to rotate the squad, especially when we are playing midweek games in Europe. Also agree about JJ but look at him before he got injured. SG doesn't fancy him. OJO must have a clause in his loan deal to give him so many mins. We done the same with Worral and that was a disaster, hence why I'm not a fan of loan deals.

14 Dec 2019 13:04:58
Tell you what lads, lose a couple o games in the league an wev'e had it again this season.

14 Dec 2019 13:35:53
AS1974 - I remember the 5 each game Barker came on as a sub if I'm correct and ripped Tav to pieces, with the way Tav plays in our formation that's not hard. I think a lot of us remember Barker for that. For me from what I have seen for us when he has got game time I can't remember him either getting down the line and getting a cross in or cutting inside beating 1 or 2 men, at times when we need to mix it up we need players to be expressive and he hasn't done it for me. As I said he may need game time but we really can afford that especially with our right hand side not producing.
I wouldn't say SG doesn't fancy JJ but he was totally peed off with him for his red card and injury.
Agree with regards to Ojo's game time, there must be something in his contract which I think Liverpool insert as part of the deal, sure one of the ed's can confirm that. I have came round to the loan deals but only if it works in favour of the club, we get to see if a potential signing can make it or not before wasting money.

14 Dec 2019 14:01:30
If you look at JJ for example. He was brilliant pre and at the start of the season. Them SG dropped him. Very strange. Yes, regarding BB I can remember the 5-5 game. So why did we buy him? Another wasted wage? We don't utilise the full squad. Docherty, king etc etc. Surely they can please against less opposition?

14 Dec 2019 15:28:54
Yip agree JJ was good, Katic is the same. SG may well have his favourites for whatever reason and it could cost us.
I think Barker was a Mark Allen recomendation, I remember him talking Barker up saying how good he was and player of the tournament for England under 18's or something like that, plus he was free so looking at it he ticked all the right boxes. SPL experience, came through a very good youth academy, youth international, and in my opinion he knows he won't be a first team starter so won't disrupt the squad. His attributes would have suggested he would have been able to fit in to SG's system but jury is still out on that.

14 Dec 2019 16:12:34
Also meant to add AS1974 I'm not a big fan of the squad rotation, I much prefer consistency and use your subs to make an impact or defend a lead. SG only has one system he plays, much like Warburton in that sense and I woukd like to see him change it up when required or to catch a team out.

14 Dec 2019 16:51:17
Well we need to start with squad rotation as the games are going to be coming thick and fast. We need to freshen things up for sure. SG has his favorores for sure but we need to make changes tomorrow. The team needs different personnel. What would your team be then?

14 Dec 2019 17:24:41
jings lads? you lot should start your own site? what a load of absolute nonsense!

14 Dec 2019 18:21:52
He has favoured players but that's because of quality nothing else. by this and this alone will dictate who starts most of the games apart from when needing rested or barring injuries.

14 Dec 2019 18:27:17
Some of the most fickle ‘supporters’ in the world on this page. Cut our losses with Kent? Seriously? , stay away from the sherry. Honestly, with fans like you, who needs enemies? Have an opinion but there’s a difference between that and talking utter bollocks!

14 Dec 2019 19:15:49
Some awful Havers posted on here sometimes 🤔.

14 Dec 2019 20:05:50
I know, i can't understand anyone saying to cut our losses with ryan kent! They folk will be the first on here saying how brilliant kent is,
when he gets back to his best. Kent is a terrific player and will prove this without doubt IMO!

14 Dec 2019 22:52:34
Totally agree about the negativity, we're in good shape, someone is due a right beating from us, we've had very little luck in the last 3 games.

15 Dec 2019 11:00:22
DSGERSFAN saying Kent, Aribo and Ojo aren't worth 7mill combined? That's a complete wind up right? Kent is worth the 7mill paid but has had a couple of quiet games following an injury.

Aribo is a quality player. A bit rough round the edges but is a class player who needs a bit of coaching to realise his potential. He will be worth a lot of money when we decide to sell him. Ojo isn't even our player so shouldn't be in the discussion.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 13th December 2019

14 Dec 2019 00:56:21
Manchester United would be a good tie isn't that what being in Europe is all about huge games.

14 Dec 2019 03:57:00
was a wee bit wary of the draw after our last few results but now think bring it on, we're steven gerrard's blue and white army!

14 Dec 2019 04:51:05
Yea Andy and then when they beat us, even if we play we’ll you will want manager and half the team sacked 😂.

14 Dec 2019 13:05:45
Moos goals, I was thinking the same mate, as I've never seen a positive post from Andy.09.

14 Dec 2019 14:50:13
I would honestly hope we draw the arsenal in monday's europa league draw! Why not, bring it on!

14 Dec 2019 17:18:09
I'd be terrified of aubameyang up against our cb pairing tbh.

13 Dec 2019 22:58:29
Just managed to get a proper look at who we could face in europa. tell you what it wouldn't have made it much easier to finish top. Some really hard games plus a couple you would fancy in both pots. don't think finishing 2nd is that much of a disadvantage (apart from being away 2nd) luck of the draw lads.

14 Dec 2019 11:47:52
Herewego, 100% right, there is no easy games now, not that there was anyway, looking forward to the challenge and no matter how far we get i am really proud of the team.

14 Dec 2019 17:19:56
Dont fancy ajax or inter geesa, hoping for lask malmo or espanyol, even braga. Any of those 4 I believe we can win.

14 Dec 2019 22:00:01
Herewego55, after the way we came through our section I don't care who we face, as the teams we've just played in our section are all champion league teams, admittedly ide like to get threw to next round, but even if we don't we must congratulate every body associated with our club, for sure, what a difference when people that know what there are doing, get involved.
