At home to Inter in the quarters. My objective of progressing from the group of death is complete and I welcome my old team to Catalonia. A bit arrogant but ....... The Rob Wilson derby.

Although, I do hope Paul weaves this into the commentary for the match... I can just see 'Ron Atkinson' opening the coverage with...

'There are some big games in Football - El Classico, the Old Firm Derby, Der Klassiker and the Superclasico. Today we add one more to the list... The Rob Wilson Derby...'

I have Schalke - re-run of the 2013(?) CL Final... Very surprised Plymouth got out of the group tho!

Congrats to Rob and Andy in qualifying, all the best to both of you for the rest of the competition.  The only disappointing aspect for me is not failing to qualify out of such a tough group but the way my results went.  With all due respect to Celtic, I should be getting better than 1 point out of 6 against them if I want to qualify. 

I'm hoping this may turn out to be good thing come the back end of the season and not having so many games to play....concentrating on the league! 

Kickoff is almost upon us, fans have taken their seats, the players are ready and the ref checks his watch, good luck to everybody this week...

The ref blows his whistle and the games can start...
