UEFA Champions League

I'm pretty sure Fenerbah?e will cause some serious problems to Chelsea. At least i hope so:))

Kezman will be back for Chelsea, and Anelka is the same for us.

It's great they think Fenerbah?e is a pushover..

Interesting Draw.

I think United vs Barca in one Semi Final and Liverpool vs Chelsea in the other.

Final will be United vs Liverpool.

If it was any other match (say a Premier League Match) I think Liverpool wouldn;t beat Arsenal or Chelsea but considering they have some magic european thing going on, they seem to be able to perform and get the results in Europe.

I wouldnt be surprised if the draw was rigged. How the hell do chelsea always get the easiest of opponents in both the FA cup and UCL?

wow arse three time in a week, should be good!

But even with the easiest opponents they manage to lose! Who says they can't lose to Fernebache?

Found this on the icLiverpool website, which is the pretty interesting...

In my opinion the draw looks like it has been fixed, and the bookies stopped taking bets on the draw this morning so that further backs it up.

i dont agree with the bookie thing, not all bookies were taking the bet in the first place, and generally if the public know rumours of something happening the bookies wont take a chance on it

I certainly agree with Chelsea in the FA Cup this year but to be honest that backfired when they faced Barnsley :p

Fenerbarche won't be easy tho they have a very good side!

[Crazysah]

Yeah they might just go out...

Nice one, hope you beat Chelsea :)

Well if one Turkish team qualifies everybody supports them but being the fact a billion English teams are in CL, I can see we share a common hope. At least Fenerbah?e won't be as easy as others think. We have a great stadium.:))

[rajputwarrior]

good luck, i hope you beat chelsea...

[Crazysah]

I think we all hope they beat Chelsea!

[leesmithg]

Arsenal will knock out Liverpool.

I doubt Chelsea will get to the semi finals.

Come middle of April Arsenal will be the only English team left.

[Martyn]

Arsenal will knock out Liverpool.

Crystal ball ;)?

Arsenal are a great team, but in someways I am glad most people are coming out with sweeping statements such as yours. I mean; Inter, Juventus, Barca, AC Milan and Chelsea all said the same and look what happened. I like being the underdogs!

Fenernbace maybe the easiest opponent at stamford bridge, but when the tie goes to turkey, its a whole new story. Just look at Turkey against England.....

[Rappy Veteran]

I think its the opposite Liverpool are favourites and Arsenal are underdogs, Arsenals performances lately in League have been a bit poor especially being the time of the season it is so this will be a tough game for them.

me too, we score first in either game and arsenal is screwed

but on the other hand our manager is benitez and god knows what lineup he'll put out

[Powa]

Who did the poll? Peter Crouch as top scorer?

Hahaha he can't even get into the Liverpool first XI.

I can see a Man Utd/Chelsea final.

Or a Barcelona/Liverpool one.

Juventus weren't even in the Champions league this year, so that's a pretty **** poor example.

One thing I doubt you can argue with rajput, is that Benitez has a pretty good record in the Champions League, so I trust him :).

Hahaha he can't even get into the Liverpool first XI.

In fairness, I think Crouchy was like first/joint first/second top scorer in the Champions League last season.

I like the fella, but he does not really fit into our system unless we are resting Torres.

Juventus weren't even in the Champions league this year, so that's a pretty **** poor example.

That is a bit harsh. They were in it two seasons ago, and they had the likes of Buffon, Vieira, Zambrotta, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Cannavaro, Nedved etc in their team. We still beat them, in the Champions League, under Benitez. It does not matter though, we are **** though apparently?

[Crazysah]

Well we are only down to 8 teams now and I feel that most of the matches may just be decided in the first leg itself.

[Powa]

Somebody as tall as Crouch should learn how to head a ball lol.

He'd score loads of goals then.

[Crazysah]

Yeah. I agree there Powa.
