Didn't think you'd beat Tottenham, so well done.

Spurs have a rather unbelievable mix of players - de Bruyne, Shaw, Martinez, Griezmann, Alvarez. It is strange what the game does in these areas.

Yes, and especially in the big leagues. Now, I currently play in Scotland, and I've previously played in the Danish league too. And my experience from both is, that the teams tend to have much less activity in the transfer windows, so their squads often remain quite recognizable, even 4-5 seasons in. There are pros and * for every league, I think, but the reduced transfer activity is definitely a pro for me, when I start up away from the 'BIG 5'.

You seem to have got the upper hand against Celtic now, as you are winning most matches against them.

Looks like a league/European double at the very least.

League, yes... European title, well, it seems the second leg did not go to plan. My recent upper hand vs Celtic failed this time, I'm afraid. A domestic double is still in the picture, but a European title will have to wait for now.

One down, one to go.
A domestic double, then?
It'll be interesting to see if Celtic win the Europa.
It's a pity that none of the other Scottish teams seem able to put in a challenge domestically. One of them needs an Alex Ferguson, I think.

Yes, well, I don't expect another Alex Ferguson to drop by anytime soon though. But truly, what he achieved with Aberdeen does really emphasize what kind of generational talent he was as a manager. Never since has a non-Glasgow side won the Premiership. Rangers were even thrown several tiers down a few years back, and still no one else were able to go up and make a proper challenge in the title race.
