Thank god I didn't watch the Man U game. I would have thrown my remote control at my TV several times. 1-4, that bullshit. I wonder what happen

 

[blai]

I know what happened Lelo.

They met Liverpool :-D

 

[Mendes]

United had a bad game. They did defensive mistakes often and often Liverpool scored... Well, I'm happy as hell l'pool won that one, coz if MU had won, the premier league would be over and that's not fun at all, is it?

 

[KnuckleheadedNinja]

WTF? Thank God i didn't watch the game too, because i would probably be without a TV right now. What the heck happened?(i haven't watch any highlight of the game either).

We need to get our shit together.

 

[blai]

I don't like you guys being surprised about Liverpool winning

 

[Mendes]

Yeah remember Liverpool kicked RM's but in CL and they have a superb team and they didnt loose to any of the big 4 in premier league this year. Just Vidic having a bad day justified this victory for L'pool.
But you guys are overreacting... just coz you get used to winning, you cant cry out loud whenever these things occur. Its football!

 

[thsv]

What a conflicted day I've had.

Tottenham win to put even more distance between them and the relegation zone.

Yaye!

The win means Arsenal stay fourth.

Boo!

I'm not surprise that Liverpool won, i'm surprise that they scored 4 goals on our turf and won by three goals.

Anyways, we still have a game in hand. Win that and we are back to a 7pts lead.

to lose by 3 and allow 4, at home, thats why we're surprised. You rarely see that at Old Trattford

by the way Ibrahimovic Zlatan is kicking ass after th CL. Ive watch 2 games and he's scored a total of 3 goals. Good for him

Last one had to count by 2... at least! :O

 

[goldb]

it's been a great week-end for Arsenal fans, we're back to fourth, Villa lose and so do United. Hope we get that fourth place, it's the least the team can give back to the fans after an unimpressive season, which is so far only capped by Arshavin's arrival.

Wenger needs to stop faffing around and bring in some real talents, we need a good solid team that can be rotated like Liverpool and Man U, cos after players like Fabregas are out, Arsenal lose most of their creativity which shouldnt be the case for a club of their stature.

Barca won again, but Real are hot on their trails... and a quick congrats to Pippo Inzaghi for scoring his 300th goal this week-end!!!

 

[Lelo]

^ yeah I watched that game yesteraday. Man they slaughtered the other team. Did Pippo have a hat-trick? I remember him scoring 2.

I finally watch highlights of the Man U game. I didnt know we blew a 1-0 lead and that Vidic got a red card. U guys were saying Vidic had a bad day but man, that was horrible. I also blame the Torres goal on him

 

[Hayashida]

hoooo what a weekend
essien is the king

 

[Lohnt]

Too many MU fans, LIVERPOOL ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!

This year belongs to Gerrard, anything less than the Ch. League will be a disappointment. It's a shame they didn't buy Arshavin, he's already adjusted to PL

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart


The Reds have drawn three of their last four matches with the Villans but I dont think it'll be any probs on the 22nd, not really since they've notched up a 15-match unbeaten run against them. PEW PEW LAZORS!

 

[Imperium]

Drama, Drama, Drama. Arsenal are into the fa cup semi-final.

About the liverpool game, i watched most of the second half and liverpool seem to be comfortable. It seems Benitez out thought Ferguson the same way he did scolari at the bridge. He got the tactics right and found a way to beat united. When he did that with scolari the whole league began to use those tactics and from then on chelsea's results started to go downhill. Also Ferguson didnt talk to the press after the game, honestly he should be FORCED to talk to the press, other than it showing a total lack of respect, the guy gets far too much his own way because the media fear him.

Onto the CL draw, my predictions
Liverpool v Villareal
Chelsea v porto
Arsenal v Munich
United v Barcelona

Out of those, naturally i would want arsenal to win. Maybe a underdog to also go though to the semi's.

Edit: Oh and i never thought i would celebrate a tottenham goal like i did on sunday...although i felt disgusted with myself afterwards!

Walk off, walk off, with your head in your hands,

you'll ne-eeeever win the league!

hum no dont doom as just yet... I'm willing to make a dark ritual or something like that so that Porto gets matched with Vilarreal. If not, at least Bayern so that we can clean Sporting's image. And I'd prefer watching Barça-Man U in the finals. At least one british game will have to happen...

:'( noooooo

Here it is!!! what we've all been waiting for:

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER-FINAL DRAW:

*english teams in bold

Villarreal v Arsenal

Manchester United v FC Porto

Liverpool v Chelsea

Barcelona v Bayern Munich

Ties to be played on 7th/8th April and 14th/15th April.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL DRAW:

Manchester United or Porto v Villarreal or Arsenal

Barcelona or Bayern Munich v Liverpool or Chelsea

Ties to be played on 28th/29th April and 5th/6th May.

so what do you guys think?! i think Arsenal and Man Utd got the better end of the stick for the quarters but it's not looking good for the semi-finals match-up is it?

 

[KnuckleheadedNinja]

Hahaa, i know you are not happy right now Mendes. Man Utd vs Porto, i wasn't expecting that. But i'm not going to count our chickens before they hatch, any Man Utd fan should remember that we were knock out by Porto in the first knock-out round during the 2004 CL.

Bayern Vs Barca, is the match i'm looking forward to the most. That should be an excellent match.

 

[Saintz0r]

Poor Mendes xD
Oh well, Porto would've faced some strongs opponents sooner or later anyway...
Barça x Bayern seems like the best match, Liverpool x Chelsea will be great too, but I already saw 2 of those this year so if I have to choose I'll go for the first

UEFA cup is nice too, Man. City x Aalborg was veeeeeeeeeeery boring, but all of a sudden Aalborg scored two gols in the last 6~7 minutes and put fire on the game. Sadly they lost on the penaltyes
ps: Robinho is doing the opposite of almost everyone. He plays like shit for Man. City and when he goes to Brasil he plays like Pelé... well, can't say I care much
