    Certainly going to be fun to see Zlatan and Eto'o square off against their old teams. That looks to be the toughest of the groups.

    Apparently because of his new contract, it would cost Liverpool 18 million to release him from it, and all 50 members of the staff he brought in would have to go with him, costing them another 20m. Looks like Rafa's might be around for the long haul.

    On another note, Kieran Gibbs broke his foot tonight, right before we play Chelsea. So with Clichy injured, we have no left backs....

    Man Utd got knocked out of the group stage a couple of seasons a go and didn't get to play in the then UEFA cup.

    I think the fans are more against the owners than the manager.

    Trust me, you weren't exactly fantastic in the position before, and it wouldn't make a difference.

    And when this comes from a man whose team have relied on Justin Edinburgh (Great servant, great attitude, average player), Paulo Tramezzani and Timothee Atouba at LB over the years, I know a team with average LBs when I see one. Gibbs was a liability last year, yet everyone raved about him for no reason. I haven't seen anything this season to change that enough to consider him at the Edingurgh level yet.

    Poor result for United tonight, I thought the youngsters played well although they did over think it at times if they had pressed on a bit more rather than try for all the one-two's in cramped area's it could have been different. Rustu did pull off two fantastic saves at the end but it was too late by then.

    I expect to see a far stronger team in Germany against Wolfsburg which is probably what Fergie didnt want.

    AC Milan v. Manchester United
    Lyon v. Real Madrid
    Bayern Munich v. Fiorentina
    FC Porto v. Arsenal
    Olympiakos v. Bordeaux
    Stuttgart v. Barcelona
    CSKA Moscow v. Sevilla
    Inter v. Chelsea

    Those are my predictions to make it to the Quarterfinals. Although Fiorentina hasn't been playing too well this season, I see that as a potential upset. Same thing with Olympiakos over Bordeaux.

    Not surprised by the outcome of ManU/Milan, though I do think that Seedorf's goal could be a possible swing of momentum for Milan heading to Old Trafford.

    Surprised, but not entirely, by Lyon's victory. Madrid hasn't played to its fullest potential this season. Happy to see that money may not be able to buy championships, though we'll have to see if that's true after the 2nd leg.

    AC will still need to score at least 2 goals at Old Trafford and I dont see them doing that. Not to mention with brutal defending like last night they haven't a hope of keepeing a clean sheet there either.

    Real have put themselves in an awkward postion now with no away goal. If Lyon score at the Bernabéu they will be in serious trouble.

    It was a good second half performance from United last night but if Milan had taken proper advantage of how badly they defended in the first half the game would have been over. I know the press like to make out Rooney changed the game on his own but I thought Fletcher was amazing in the second half and the game shifted when he got about more involved in my opinion

    Lol. Sol Campbell with a goal. Also, Arsenal needs to find a keeper. Almunia has been awful this year, and Fabianski's mishap wasn't very impressive, either.

    I take that back. TWO mishaps by Fabianski. Wow. This is turning out to be an odd game.

    Also, I'm still confused about what happened with the whole backpass by Campbell to Fabianski, then the free kick that turned into Porto's second goal.

    Can someone please explain to me what happened?

    A goalkeeper isn't allowed to take the ball in his hands after a player passes to him. Headers are OK but passes aren't.
    The ref can allow the free kick to be taken once he says and Porto used it to their advantage while Arsenal were sleeping.

    Ahhhh, got it. I was confused, because I wasn't aware that FK's could be given inside the box. I've always just assumed anything inside the box would be put on the penalty spot.

    Cant complain about him, he's chipped in with a few goals and always looks to get the ball in the box which is always helpfull. Nani has improved a lot this year but he still isnt consisstent enough so if it were up to me Valencia would be starting most games with Nani replacing Giggs or Park or whoever is on the left with 20 mins to go

    Fantastic result for us there, and not just cause it gets us into the Quarter finals. It gives the whole team belief that we can keep going.

    Delighted for Bendtner, scoring Arsenals first Hattrick in Europe since Alan Smith! Also delighted for Eboue as well cause I think he's one of the most improved players at Arsenal.

    Nasri's goal was something else too, though the defending was horrible.

    Here's hoping we dont draw an English team in the next round!

    Interesting draw for the quarter finals. United will have to fancy their chances but any team with Ribery, Robben and Klose in it are going to be tough, Arsenal and Barcelona will be a wankathon for the media and hopefully will turn out to be a good match as well

    Well that wasnt fun. We were well and truly exposed there. Our defence was run ragged, Theo was taken out of the game, and our midfield were outclassed. I was very disappointed with our second half display, as Barca sat back and Arsenal didn't take any advantage of it. Oh well, no shame in being beaten by the best I guess.
