Pep Guardiola wants to avoid Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final draw if possible because he believes that the Premier League side play the most similar football to Barcelona, according to a report from Sport.

The Blaugrana chief thinks that his team's tactics work best when facing teams that are setup differently because they can play around them and cause surprises.

But the Gunners have a similar philosophy and that could see the Catalan side unable to reproduce their best form in the last eight of the elite European competition, Sport state.

Well.. so i guess the will to avoid each other is mutual

Liverpool for the win, Gerrard possibly for top scorer. The way that we destroyed Real Madrid gives me a lot of confidence that we are in the driving seat at the moment. Lets just hope the international break doesn't diminish the reds' remarkable form.

Man Utd is in trouble again :p gave away 2 away goals.. they can beat Porto 2-0 in the second leg but you never know..

Err not quite.... that'd be 4-3 to United, away goals only count if it's the aggregate score is a draw. United only need a 1-0 to go through.

Yeah.. my maths went wrong for a minute there.. :wacko:

or was it wishful thinking? :huh:

anyways I realised it was wrong as soon as I read it again and deleted it from my post..

Hmm, not sure I agree with that entirely, they had some flashes of good forward play, but their defense still looked a bit suspect to me. My gut feeling is that the weight of games that they are playing is just taking its toll on them.

You're right. We played well at some parts, but we lost the ball so many times at one point I thought we was watching a Division 1 team, it was ridiculous.

Was it just me, or was the referee a complete and utter retard? There were so many times he should have stopped play, and a couple of times when it should have been a penalty, and yet we get completely and utterly robbed. FC Porto were playing pretty dirty at times IMO. Not looking forward to Portugal if they're going to be playing like that.

2-2 is not a good result. 48 hours after a difficult game against Villa it was more than tough. But we ain't down yet, we can manage to win at Porto (or draw at least 3-3). We really need some rest if we want to play every competition and win something.

I'm not sure the referee was that bad, some decisions weren't take but nothing that can change the result.

      No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.

      Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.

      It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

      Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
