English Premier League

[Trader52]

Do not write off Arsenal. They have an easy run from here, whereas Man U and the Russians have a harder task.

Newcastle will be promoted back into EPL next season.

rooney is still better than messi

doctorj,

Have to say that as a thirteen y.o back in 1964 and living in Putney, with my folks out from aust. I was always torn between following the Earls Court brigade which at the time meant at that age stuff all or going to the other side of the city.

Sad to say doc, as I sit here an hour north of Sydney and 46 years later is that all I can say is....

GO THE HAMMERS

Gera > Messi

 

[MRC & Co]

But Barca will win the Champions League; Messi is a class above Rooney no matter what Fergie and the English press say. Did you see the game against Stuttgart? Rooney could only hit that pass that set up the second goal in his dreams. What a player.

Ah yes, Viva Barca!

Agree with United to win from here and Arsenal the shady team that could sneak it.

Hope United draw Inter in the nxt round of the CL!

United V Barca in the semis.

Barca V Arsenal in the final.

Hope Barca get Lyon in the nxt round, at Camp Nou Fortress we will eat them alive as we always do, just in the fashion of Stuttgart. It will also rub salt into the wounds of those damn Madridistas!

 

[MRC & Co]

Sh*t, now there are some interesting ties!

First and foremost, Barca V Arsenal. What a great tie, even though I didn't want to see it this early, better early than never in this case! Lot of Arsenal supporters out there are going to be disappointed! :

The winner to play CSKA V Inter. Barca can take any of these two, but with the organisation of Inter and the attack on the counter of Milito and Eto'o, a bit of luck and Inter could take it away should these two favourites make it through.

United V Bayern, a great tie! See how United close down Robben and Ribery! They are going to have a busy couple of nights.

Lyon V Bordeaux, what a junk tie. Winner of United V Bayern get an easy march to the finals.

Whose your picks and what are your thoughts?

need to remember that lyon just dumped out Real Madrid.....

Nothing Wrong with that Buckfont you chose well

I was born in London and grew up there and up in Essex, there was only one team every kid followed, the claret and blue of West Ham United, once a Hammer always a Hammer

Come on you Irons

I don't know mate.

Madrid is very hot and cold, no real consistency yet, they more get by off individual brilliance than team effort.

The first match in Lyon they played poor.

The return leg they had a poor side on the pitch.

Barca has played Lyon numerous times over the previous few years (a stronger Lyon than now) and had our way with them easily every time over 2 legs.......

 

[Bushman]

Man. Utd look poised now, Chelski choked under the pressure (of Fergie and injuries).

Chelsea vs Man. Utd could give Arsenal a sniff though, which would be a travesty given their record vs the Mancs/Russians this year.

Abramovic learnt an important lesson when sacking Mourinho - bulldogs are bred, not bought!
