As long as United avoid Barcelona and Chelsea in the next round we should be safe into the semi final of the champions league. Who knows what can happen then? :8)

Bordeaux will give you a test, as will Arsenal, despite them being overrated.

CSKA or Sevilla and Bayern Munich will be piss easy ties.

But your defence looks pretty dodgy to me at the moment and I think teams can exploit that - if Milan could finish they would have been home and hosed by half time in the first leg.

Word, I think if Milan's strikers were a bit more vicious, the outcome would have been much different - oh well.

I'm actually really impressed with Bordeaux, they played extremely well in both legs against Juventus, although their away goal was offside But their spirits impressed me, same with Lyon. I'm all for the French teams It's good to see some diversity out there in the CL final 8.

Oh definitely. I mean, it used to be the Germans dominting, then the Italians, then the Spanish, then the English but now no-one is dominating.

I remember when Newcastle were in the Champions LEague :'(

Only 2002

Damnnnn, Newcastle was in the Champions League I didn't even know But yeah, I'm glad that some of the 'big' teams were knocked out, like Liverpool and Juventus. It makes the fight for the trophy more exciting. Although I would have loved seeing Fiorentina move on, it was such an honour watching them play so well and free flowing. It's a shame they are doing so shit in Serie A.

Yeah they beat Juventus at St James 1-0. Lost the first 3 group games but then won the next 3 against Juve, Dinamo Kiev & Feyenoor and got through. Good times.

Fiorentina were unfortunate. If it was wasn't for disgraceful refereeing and linesman perfomances in the 1st leg then wudda gone through. Disgrace. Bayern are a poor side.

Chelsea won 4-1. Back on the top :worship:

They score one goal, and then they just close like a bunker(well most of the teams do). That's the reason I don't watch it that often.

just like chelsea :tounge2:

Interesting matches today. Man U should breeze past Fulham ay home, despite the scoreline at Craven Cottage. 2-0 or 3-0 I'll go for.

But Sunderland V Man City looks a great match. S'Land got their first win in 15 games against Bolton in midweek which is a massive confidence boost, whereas Man City look as inconsistent as ever. I'm going for a high scoring match - 3-2 to Sunderland.
