ClemensKrauss 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 (Posted on FF, so for those who don't go there) This is important, as it is factual, and will be very useful for keeping the Yahoos straight. Celtic has now reached six CL group stages, and has no wins and only 1 point away from home. 105 teams have reached the first group stage of the CL since 1992/3. 40 have played in the first group stage only once. So let's start there, and move our way along until we at least find the group with the same number of group stage appearances as Celtic. TEAMS WITH ONE CL GROUP APPEARANCE (40) 13 have won an away CL game. 28 have at least one point - Zenit can make that 29 this season. TWO CL GROUP APPEARANCES (15) 12 have an away win in the CL. Only one has no points. THREE CL GROUP APPEARANCES (5) 4 have won an away CL game, ALL have more than one point. FOUR CL GROUP APPEARANCES (7) All bar one have wins away, and the other exceeds the Celtic points tally. FIVE CL GROUP APPEARANCES (7) All 7 have won away. SIX CL GROUP APPEARANCES - INCLUDES CELTIC - (8) The magnificent 7 have CL away wins (plural) adding up to 35. The other team has, of course, not won. TEAMS WITH A CL AWAY WIN (72) Man. United Milan Barcelona Real Madrid Lyon FC Porto Bayern Munich Arsenal Juventus Internazionale Chelsea Ajax Valencia Spartak Moscow PSV Liverpool Dortmund Rosenborg Dinamo Kiev Bayer Leverkusen AS Roma SS Lazio Werder Bremen Rangers PSG Panathinaikos AS Monaco Olympique Marseille IFK Goteborg Galatasaray Deportivo Club Bruges Auxerre Atletico Madrid Steau Bucharest Sparta Praha Shaktar Donetsk Sevilla Schalke 04 RSC Anderlecht Olympiakos Nantes Lokomotiv Moscow Feyenoord Fenerbache Bordeaux Villarreal VFB Stuttgart Udinese Sporting Real Sociedad Real Mallorca Real Betis RC Lens Newcastle Maribor Lille Kaiserslautern Hamburg Hadjuk Split Grasshoppers Fiorentina Ferencvaros FC Basel CSKA Moscow Croatia Zagreb Cluj Celta Vigo Besiktas Benfica Austria Salzburg Artmedia Bratislava TEAMS WITH MORE THAN ONE AWAY POINT (79) Man. United Barcelona Milan Real Madrid Bayern Munich Arsenal Lyon Juventus FC Porto Internazionale Chelsea Ajax PSV Valencia Liverpool Dortmund Spartak Moscow Rosenborg Dinamo Kiev Bayer Leverkusen AS Roma Rangers SS Lazio Deportivo AS Monaco PSG Panathinaikos Werder Bremen Sparta Praha Olympiakos Galatasaray RSC Anderlecht Olympique Marseille Club Bruges Steau Bucharest IFK Goteborg Feyenoord Benfica Atletico Madrid Nantes Fenerbache Bordeaux Auxerre Schalke 04 Lokomotiv Moscow Shaktar Donetsk Sporting Sevilla Lille RC Lens Fiorentina CSKA Moscow Croatia Zagreb AEK Athens Villarreal Real Betis Newcastle Maribor Kaiserslautern Hamburg Hadjuk Split Grasshoppers FC Basel Celta Vigo Besiktas Austria Salzburg Artmedia Bratislava VFB Stuttgart Udinese Sturm Graz Real Sociedad Real Mallorca Ferencvaros Cluj Parma Leeds United Hertha Berlin Genk Boavista 13 teams have only one away point in the CL first group stage. This is Celtic's sixth CL Group campaign. Of the others, only Aalborg have played in the group stages more than once, the other 11 having only one chance to accumulate points. Of the 23 teams without a win, only one other than Celtic (17) has played more than ten games, AEK Athens (12) - 17 have only played once in the competition. It's true that Olympiakos took until after their 30th away tie to win, but they had 7 draws by then, and now have 2 wins. Celtic has 1 draw. No wins. In short, their form on the road in the CL group stage is a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Manticore* 1,893 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Excellent piece of research! Just hope there's a few imposters around To put it another way, we got twice as many CL away points on our first attempt than they have in 6 seasons.....

Coopermania 1 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 They are a bunch of inbred, pish-stained, scrounging, born-again fuck-ups. A disgrace to humanity in every way possible. Timmy needs to open his eyes as to how the world views him. As for their team ? They got torn a new one on Tuesday. They were lucky Man Utd were content to stay in first gear otherwise I think we would have seen a record CL hammering. Roll on the game at the Paedodrome I can't wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueIsTheColour 35 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Looking forward to a nice wee rendition of "F**k you Celtc, you'll never win away" on the 27th of December. Their record is absolutely laughable. CF Cluj got three times as many points in their first ever CL away game than Celtic have gained in 17 attempts. Sums it up very nicely for me.

ClemensKrauss 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Celtic has played 17 away CL group stage games. 0 wins, 1 draw. 18 other teams have played 10 or more but less than 17 (so less than Celtic): They total 47 away wins, 60 away draws and 199 away points. In terms of away games played, Celtic is ranked 17th. In terms of games won, they are 105th and bottom, having won none and played more than others. In terms of away points gained, they are 92nd.

stuartm 7 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 The next game's at Ibrox though I think he meant Man U playing them at the San Giro, not Rangers playing them Manti. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
