Yeah I know unless you're a Celtic fan I suppose if you're a Celtic fan fair enough I get that but like I think just as far as like
buzzing of hearts when the title I'd love to see them win the title what an opportunity it is and like it's just better for the game of football like for Scottish football in general it's the same as looking at it's a similar idea to people being excited at the prospect of Spurs getting relegated because it's like yeah this is why we can't have a clothes shop with anything because it shows that football is a game that's played on the pitch and it needs to be kept that way as much as we physically can even though money is becoming more and more of a
entity now or not always this weird sort of entity but have unintentionally kind of through no fault of their own for their fans become this kind of subsidiary to Chelsea but my god talk about an atmosphere for a bit of context they were 2-0 down after their first leg away against Mainz it was Mainz yeah and then they welcomed Mainz over to Strasbourg
last Thursday and my god talk about a cauldron they won that game 4-0 and had a goal this allowed had a goal this allowed like unbelievable stuff and some of the talent on this team outside of Andrew himself who we know what he's capable of and I've said for quite some time I think he's all the tools to be our best defender I think if he can just sort out the injury stuff which he seems to have a hold on at the minute touch wood things are going pretty well for him over there and I think it's only a matter of time before he's back in the fold I mean we had him on I was chatting to him a couple of months ago and
He's one of these kind of like... Sorry, cool, calm, collecting on the ball.
Even his personality, sorry to cut you off, is like this modern Irish athlete that we're seeing more of now that is kind of like...
for Strasbourg the club themselves they'll always have that problem with Chelsea but they have such an opportunity with the calibre of the players that they have the talent is outrageous Emmanuel Omega unbelievable footballer I know he'd actually I think he had a bit of a falling out or something along those lines with Leymar Senior and he's due to go to Chelsea isn't he there's some sort of agreement so I think he'll be hoping Leymar Senior is on the next flight back to Strasbourg but Gary O'Neill's doing a good job there
He is doing a good job.
He is doing a good job, yeah.
Because he has the quality player there where you're like... Yeah, but how often have we seen managers go in and manage high quality players and make an absolute hames of it?
He's doing alright for the time being.
He just was in a fortunate position.
I'm not suggesting that Gary O'Neill should go and be the next Chelsea manager.
I'm just saying that he's doing a good job and there would be no reason to get rid of him at this point in time.
there's a lad playing that might be playing the World Cup this year Valentin Barco who's obviously with Brighton but he's playing at Strasbourg and he looks like he could be I always keep an eye out as well for Marshall Godot who's playing on the wing for Strasbourg he was brilliant for them the other night and he was on loan at Wigan a couple of years ago and was exceptional What'll all go wrong for me?
Wigan to Strasbourg Wigan to Strasbourg yeah but yeah loads of big games coming up for Andrew on Bamadele over the next couple of
The next week, really, they play Nice at home in the French Cup semi-final.
Well, all of that being said, I'm hoping Strasbourg go out and absolutely hammer them in the semifinals.
So, yeah, there's something to keep an eye on for us there and hopefully we see Owen Bamadele back in the fold with the Republic of Ireland over the next little while.
There's a load of other stuff going on.
