Or maybe some consider themselves British rather than English, especially after the Olympics..

[TBM]

Probably no more reason than some of us have a favourite German or Italian team, or just other teams we follow.

Yeah but picking one that hates the English/British?!

Choose Queen of the South or someone

Most people don't though.

There is deffo a whole load of mongs though that find it fashionable to like Celtic.

[LUX]

Ouch

"United, Celtic, Argentina".

The credo of Mong United.

[retro_royal]

That's twice you've mentioned us and Celtic as if we have some mong love in, that's Liverpool m8.

And as for Argentina, that's just to wind up little englanders from West Ham, Birmingham and Leeds. It works a treat.

Ouch - Kris Commons dead leg

[cmonurz]

Jesus!

Said out loud when I was watching it that the challenge looked relatively innocuous, just a late bump on the leg.

Ouch.

Celtic through, Chelsea out.

Best European night for ages.

Bar the "Celtic through" part

No idea why so many Englishmen like Celtic so much

I think the sentiment is more that it's funny to see a team full of players too shit for the English Prem, journeymen Greeks and misfit Africans who can't get a club anywhere else progressing to the knockout stages of a competition whilst the classiest club in Europe - and holders - couldn't manage to do it as well.

Funnier still that it was a dive by Samaras.

Ouch - Kris Commons dead leg

Steven Gerrard's mrs will rub it better

Who did Chelsea get?

[cmonurz]

Can losing CL teams draw teams from the same country in the Europa League?

[retro_royal]

The two biggest teams in world football going head to head. Should be a cracker.

[Albert Spangler]

Galatasaray v Schalke
Celtic v Juventus
Arsenal v Bayern Munich
Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund
AC Milan v Barcelona

Why are Celtic emboldened?

[Zaretsky]

Galatasaray v Schalke
Celtic v Juventus
Arsenal v Bayern Munich - (although wouldn't mind Arsenal doing alright)
Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund - hope Dortmund win the CL
AC Milan v Barcelona - hope Barca win playing Catenaccio
Real Madrid v Manchester United - hope they collide into a vast black hole of cvntdom
Valencia v Paris St Germain - hope Valencia (£0) beat PSG (£mega)
Porto v Malaga
