Arsenal not up to it IMO.

Manures spawn will run out IMO.

Liverpool to win it after last nights heroics IMO.

Feel free to disagree of course. :P

To be fair, liverpools game had draw all over it until Torres pretty much conned the ref into getting Materazzi sent off. They should be safe though. I don't see how you can give Man U grief when they've been the best team of the season thus far (I know they are behind Arsenal, but i reckon they've played the best stuff)!

Soz matt but being a liverpool supporter means its my job to give utd grief!

Just thought it was a pretty lacklustre performance last night and you were extremely fortunte to come away with a result.

Once again Ronaldo went AWOL in a big game, when was the last time he gave a performance in a big game?

United had a hard game last night, Lyon are still up there with some of the best clubs in Europe. I thought their goal came against the run of play in General, it was a really good United performance, A late goal Yes, but Liverpools goals were also late.. it was a very important 1st goal for both.

Whichever team you follow, you need a little bit of good fortune to win such a tournement.

Of course you need lady luck on your side at times, unfortunately for me this wasn't the case last night. I had Arsenal to draw, Barca to win, Fenerbache to win and Lyon to win. £2 four timer payed £80.

87th minute, dear me.

Well played Arsenal although Milan were pretty poor.

Utd got away with yet another very poor performance in Europe, wont last much longer if they carry on like that!

Your having a laugh aint ya? Liverpool got killed until the man was sent off undeservedly (again). Inter missed so many chances!

What a match for the neutrals. Bring on Chelski, they'll have one eye on the Prem.

Arsenal are poor, they were lucky early on in the season.

Barca are 3/1 what brilliant odds 2nd fav behind Man u

I've a feeling that we'll trounce Barca (providing we get past Roma, which 'should' be a foregone...).

They just don't seem up to it this season, what with so many players out and unrest in the team.

Poor? Lost only 2 times all season in the league! Lucky early on? If anything we have been lucky recently scoring a few late goals. How can you say Arsenal are poor when we play the best football?
As for the champions league it could of gone either way, differance really was the two penalty claims, 1 given, 1 not!

United play the best football !

Ok, Arsenal aren't poor, but dont have the squad that Chelsea and United have... Anyways, Im not taking out for granted because the NAL come to OT this weekend....
