yes, its that time of the year previous stages are alreasy here... and we can start the chat milan was the last champion milan, barça, liverpool, porto where the winners in the last 5 years, chelsea seems not to get there as hard as they try, madrid could be back in form, as well as munich lyon maybe lost their chance, maybe not.... your expectations? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My head says either Barca or Milan, my heart hopes Liverpool. |
||||||||
|

finally a topic i like :-) inter has good chances... but also bayer monaco is very strong imo |
||||||||

hard to win games when refs don't let you : ( madrid will take the cup this season. specially now that they got robben. man..surely they could have found a better winger for that much money.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Styles is a fucking nob and the fact he has been dropped for this weekend doesn't alter the fact he stole 2 points from us. Robben is fucking scary good. Chelsea just never played him properly. I still don't think Madrid have enough there to win it though this season. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if they're going to play like against sevilla it may be a bit of a problem indeed..it was an early alert call that will tell them not to fuck around. i don't like robben one bit..first of all he's dutch, for crying out loud. i liked a lot how liverpool played that match. it's my favourite english team and gerrard is my favourite english player..i hope that sort of refereing was just an exception.. |

I can't understand why he was allowed to walk off the pitch in the first place. The way he went down wasn't normal and there was obviously something seriously wrong. Only 22 and a baby on the way, very sad indeed :( |

got a link? |

I think the same, maybe if had been sent to hospital directly he would be alive now... but overall he had 9 heart attacks that night... so maybe it was sowmthing unstoppable who knows |

i'll cheer for barcelona just because of giovanni dos santos oh, and rafa marquez of course. |

1/8 finals: Celtic v Barcelona Lyon v Manchester United Schalke v Porto Liverpool v Inter Milan Roma v Real Madrid Arsenal v AC Milan Olympiakos v Chelsea Fenerbahce v Sevilla |

one thing is clear, british football is on its peak |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
another tough draw for us.. arsenal will be very very hard to beat.. and the fact that milan is an ageing team will probably topple the experience factor that that brings with it this year.. you can't always ask the best from your veterans. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right now I would put my money on these to go through of course the inter liverpool and the arsenal milan matches are difficult to tell Barcelona Manchester United Porto Liverpool Real Madrid Arsenal Chelsea Sevilla |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm really looking forward to Liverpool - Inter Milan tomorrow. Liverpool are in deep shit at the moment. If they get knocked out this round, I suspect Benitez will get sacked. I think Liverpool will win this, though. They're like a wounded animal right now, and if you poke it with a stick, you'll get your hand bitten off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We've never sacked a manager...it would be a shame to start now but something has got to give soon. I hope we win. |
||||||||

|
seems like liverpool has it nearer now same goes for barça these two were the clearest results so far also manchester and shalke seem to be in advantage fenerbahce and roma are leading but a second leg away might be a tough wall for both as they both saw the oponent scoring at their homes I bet chelsea will go through but cannot tell what will happen in milan |
||||||||

i liked arsenal and barça, they are very strong |
||||||||
|
|

inter always sucks in champions league.. arsenal is playing the best football imho. |
||||||||

england seems to be the strongest country in football clubs right now |

Barcelona Manchester United Schalke Liverpool Roma Arsenal Chelsea Fenerbahce excited about the next draw I wouldnt like to see barça against arsenal or liverpool, but anyway, all teams are hard now maybe fenerbahce, roma and shalke are a little easier right now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
roma are not easier.. all they need is confidence in themselves. they quietly have some of the best players on the planet in some important positions.. players like juan, a great defender, aquilani, de rossi, mancini, perrotta, etc. fenerbahce and schalke are the easier draw. i am a milan supporter and i was somewhat glad that we were eliminated. this way, maybe berlusconi and co will realize that we desperately need a revamp. i'm suupporting roma and arsenal for this ch. league. |
||||||||

Here my votes: Barcelona.................... 8/10 Manchester United ....... 8/10 Schalke ...................... 6/10 Liverpool .................... 8/10 Rome ......................... 7/10 Arsenal ...................... 9/10 Chelsea ..................... 8/10 Fenerbahce ................ 6/10 Definitely best team is ARSENAL, but also BARCA and LIVERPOOL are very strong. Then MANCHESTER UTD and CHELSEA, few chance for ROME and no chance for SCHALKE and FENERBACHE. |

shalke - barça roma - manchester fenerbahçe - chelsea arsenal - liverpool england 4 teams... amazing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my bets go for: barça ( but they are playing so bad lately that I wouldnt be surprised if shalke goes through) manchester arsenal chelsea |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have same bets as you. yeah i saw barca - almeria today i wasent that impressed by barca |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bollocks. Liverpool will go through, beat Chelsea in the semi's and meet Barca in the final. |

www.thegoalposts.com if you want to talk about footy on a footy board...see you there chaps... Don't come here much any more, don't get the time these days...nice to read a bit and have a giggle though :-) |

liverpool has the potential thats for sure I was just expressing an initial opinion |
||||||||
|

good to see you! |

shalke - barça---------------> barça roma - manchester -------- > rome fenerbahçe - chelsea ------ > chelsea arsenal - liverpool --------- > arsenal |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My guesstimation (in percent): shalke - barça (25/75) ------------> barca roma - manchester (35/65) ------> manchester fenerbahçe - chelsea (20/80)-----> chelsea arsenal - liverpool (48/52) -------> liverpool semis: chelsea - liverpool (45/55) --------> liverpool manchester - barcelona (48/52)---> barca final: barca - liverpool (45/55) ----------> liverpool wins cl |

Liverpool always does wicked in the Champions league, but always seems to be 4th in the premiere league. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suppose that's still good, but they always seem to beat the other premiereship teams in the champions league. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's the third time Chelsea could meet Liverpool in the semis. Liverpool won both times. I'm hoping for a third time lucky. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, liverpool did it again... quite impressive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what a nice match yesterday! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Here goes! With Man Utd in such form, it could very well be an English final. Not sure that's a good thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think priemer league actually is the best championship of ever with strongest team of the world. italian serie A is a boring shit compared to the premier league.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
chelsea, arsenal, manchester and liverpool are great teams indeed I dont know what barça can do against them really not nowadays |
||||||||
|
|

We get some premiership games over here, and I enjoy watching them, but doesn't it get a bit dull having basically the same 4 teams dominating each year? It always seems to be Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool dominating the league. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Arsenal and Man United are great teams, Liverpool and Chelsea are not. Expect a dull contest between them two as is always the case when they meet. |
||||||||
|

The english premiership needs a salary cap to keep the big teams like Chelsea from going out and loading their team with all big name players, and to keep all teams on more of an equal footing. From my limited experience of watching the league, it seems the smaller teams can't even compete with the big 4, and which is why they are always in the top 4 each year. The NHL here used to have some major problems, because teams here in Canada (where hockey is #1) couldn't compete with teams in the States due to the exchange rate and smaller markets. So they put in a salary cap (with some other things to help improve the situation) and now all teams seem to be on more of an equal footing. It's helped a lot. |

chelsea is not a big team it is a great team now in the last 5 years... but look at its history lots of teams in england have won far more than them over the century a big team is good over the decades (liverpool, manchester, juve, milan, inter, real madrid, ajax...) arsenal is not a good as liverpool or manchester (historically this is) but still has a bigger history than chelsea |
||||||||
|
|

Well, it's a big team in that its owner has deep pockets and can afford to pay the big name players to come there, which probably means Chelsea will be a big team in the years to come. I just think that in a sports league, when there is no ceiling on what teams can pay players things get out of hand to the point where only a handfull of teams can afford those salaries, and then those handfull of teams begin to dominate the league. This has happened in the NHL as I said, where Canadian teams could hardly compete due to the exchange rate, etc. It's also happened in baseball, where the Yankess and Red Sox are consistantly among the top teams and world series winners, because they can afford to load their team with all stars. I don't know a whole lot about the European football really, but it always seems that in the Champions league it's the same teams competing every year. Where is the excitement in that? It must suck if you're a fan of a poorer team. |

"chelsea is not a big team" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well in 55 years of champions league there have been 21 diferent winners where is nothingham forest now? 2 times champion having a rich owner doesnt ensure a big future, but it could happen of course... history is full of teams thatr where big once and are dissapeared now being a big team is much more than having 10 great years if you look at the teams I mentioned , their history is so much bigger than the history of chelsea... its almost an insult to compare them real madrid, milan, liverpool, bayern munich, ajax, juventus... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well this is: barça - manchester liverpool - chelsea which are your bets? |
