Petrov Deal 'close'

whoaw, you're paying a lot for him, but hed still be an alright signing for you guys. good luck you guys

Well at least we can gather from the amusing Weetims' remarks that Stan is worth signing. Let's hope this saga comes to a close soon with him safely on the payroll.

weetim67 where u get 3.5 from

lol

He has that 'sick look' that many people who have lived in Scotland for some time develop, he clearly needs some time on the South Coast to reinvigorate. It sounds like weetim67 could use some quality time away from Glasgow too.

malcy, you may also be infected, seek medical advice immediately. Bolton are a European giant in case you hadn't noticed.

Why don't you backwards scottish prick(s) go back to your own board with the mickey mouse league. Pompey are gonna be quality and you lot don't want us to have him cos you know full well we would prove you wrong. Your league is a joke and so is your country. Men that wear skirts, eat haggis and talk like a bunch of knobs. I think a pre season (not so) friendly should be arranged.

as for a friendly we only play in proper grounds so by all means come to paradise will do u scanks good to get away from the *****hole. give all the saliors a few days with your girlfriends and mrs

Hmmm, let me see... CELTIC CLUB RECORDS The Scottish Cup final win against Aberdeen F.C. in 1938 was attended by a crowd of 146,433 at Hampden Park in Glasgow, which remains a record for a club match in European football. Celtic currently hold the UK record for an unbeaten run in professional football: 62 games. First British club to reach the final of the European Cup. First Scottish, British and northern European team to win the European Cup. Only club in history to have won the European Cup with a team comprised entirely of home-grown talent. In 1967, Celtic achieved the feat of winning every competition they played in (including the European Cup). Hold the record for the highest score in a domestic cup final: Celtic 7 - 1 Rangers, Scottish League Cup Final 1957. Hold the record for the highest attendance for a club football match anywhere in Europe: Celtic v Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final 1937. Official attendance 146,433. Hold the record for the highest attendance for a European club competition match: Celtic v Leeds Utd in the European Cup semi-final 1970. Official attendance 133,961. In 2003, Celtic took an estimated 80,000 fans to Seville, Spain, for the UEFA Cup Final. This is widely acknowledged as being the largest 'away' support in Sporting History. HONOURS European Cup: Winners 1967. Runner-up 1970. UEFA Cup: Runner-up 2003. Scottish League Champions (40): 1893, 1894, 1896, 1898, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1919, 1922, 1926, 1936, 1938, 1954, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1986, 1988, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006. Scottish Cup (33): 1892, 1899, 1900, 1904, 1907, 1908, 1911, 1912, 1914, 1923, 1925, 1927, 1931, 1933, 1937, 1951, 1954, 1965, 1967, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1977, 1980, 1985, 1988, 1989, 1995, 2001, 2004, 2005.

Empire Exhibition Trophy: 1938 (Best of British Competition) Victory In Europe Cup: 1945 (Best of British Competition) Coronation Cup: 1953 (Best of British Competition) Oh, and 60,000+ every week. So that's a little bit of our 'History'. Anyone want to tell me yours... ?

I don't know why you lads even bother replying to the scottish plonkers. Just let them stew in their own jealousy of not being in a proper league,and when they post on here, have a little chuckle at them and move on.

You are right FEn, they are just knobs. They won't be laughing so much at the end of the season when they are doing rubbish cos english teams have stolen all their good players. Stillian Petrov is their star player and he wants to leave to come to pompey. That shows how good the SPL is. Pompey may be junk compared to chelsea etc but..... your scottish!!!! enough said.

Anyway, I digress.... getting back to the matter at hand. Petrov is not our 'star' player. We do not have any 'star' players. We have a team of good players who all play for the jersey and therefore each other. This is why we are so hard to beat and why (on our day) we can beat the best in the world (Barcelona and Juventus over the last few seasons anyone?). We also have some of the best fans in the world, all housed in one of THE GREAT sporting arena's in world football. That's not only my opinion, it's also one held by a certain chap called Beckenbauer. Celtic Park is almost on top of the pitch and when the place starts rocking... well it's a sight (and sound) to behold. So many top players remark on the atmosphere at Celtic Park after Champions League games - some even say that they would love to play their. Never heard of the Kaiser saying that Fratton Park was amongst the best sporting arena's on the planet, or a certain buck-toothed Brazilian saying that he would love to play in front of such passionate fans. Back to Petrov. Good player. Worth about £5 Million. Box to box. Great engine and can score from midfield. Can, however, occcasionally go missing in action, but generally reliable. Good luck next season (you'll need it).

Genuine sane Pompey fans would not argue that Portsmouth are bigger than Celtic. However to some players the draw of playing in the Prem makes playing for Pompey more attracive than playing for Celtic in the SPL.

One thing, both Pompey and Celtic have very passionate support. Something to agree on I reckon.

Celtic are a bigger club than us fact, players would rather play for celtic in scotish prem rather than pompey in the prem false!

I will be glad when we finally get rid of the green and white striped Petrov and get a picture of him with some blue in it, it has only taken 2 weeks but finally coming to fruition.

Chuckle, guffaw, lol.
