As I said when the draw came out in December, I predict both the London sides will fail to make the quarters and Italy will have all three teams go through.

Also I'm tipping both tonight's games will be draws (though I'm hoping for 2 away victories!).

Shame APOEL lost, I didn't see any of the match so don't know how they went. I think the best they can hope for now is a 1-0 home win to send it into extra time. 3-1 or 2-0 is unlikely...

I only saw the second half of the other match, Leverkusen had a lot of fight in them and really took it to Barca. I wish it had been a draw so the 2nd leg would be worth watching....

Busquets shoved I think Kadlec out but Kadlec got booked? And Sanchez kicks the ball in to the net after taking two touches of the ball after being flagged offside about 5 minutes later to no booking. I recall RVP's red card for a touch and go call.

Busquets is such a bitch btw.

Yeah I noticed that, really pissed me off. They need to be consistent with that. If Barca's opponents did that in a match where they were needing to get the next goal, I guarantee you'd have ten Barca players rushing up in the refs face until he got the yellow card out...

For the record, RVP knew exactly what he was doing and fully deserved that yellow. Busquets is a c**k!


Just saw the APOEL highlights, Lyon dominated possession, but to lose from a deflection goal like that must be painful...

Yeah - straight away I remembered that when I saw it.

Barca must love playing in Europe. All the 50/50s go their way as opposed to in La Liga.

Yeah RVP'S was a red card for sure but where's the consistency? Sanchez took two touches, even moved to the right of Leno to slot the ball in. What if he gets booked in the return leg? A key player missing can be the difference in the 1/4

La Liga refs are pretty bad though and probably easier to rush them and get the yellow.

OL had a clear penalty denied as well.

Who said Milan are injury-ravaged? PATO can't even get a starting spot! THAT is depth!


I went agonisingly close on my Zenit/Benfica score pick. I'd rather be way off than go so close...

Milan is injury ravaged. We're going to convincingly beat them and then defend the lead at home and get through to the final where we hopefully get the chance to spank the Germans.

Good to see you're just as deluded an Arsenal supporter as a Souths one...

they were ravaged with injury last round, then this

15 players out V. undies on the weekend however Ibra, Abbiati, Nesta, Flamini, Pato, and Boateng are rumoured to be back for the Gooners game

wont know until they line up

add Seedorf to the list now which maybe a blessing in disguise

Pato will replace Robinho I reckon at some stage

Arsenal couldn't beat an egg.

This Milan side is average and they still belted you.

How f**king shit are you to let Robinho of all players score two goals. :lol:
