September 19, 201311 yr Disappointing start for Chelsea and Celtic, good start for the other teams I see. Tonight sees Swansea, Tottenham and Wigan all in action.
September 19, 201311 yr Chelsea suffering from extremely high expectations and thinking Mourinho is the Messiah. Reckon the Honeymoon period could be over if they suffer another bad result at the weekend, although I'd be surprised if they did. Their problem is their strike force. Not getting Rooney has really hurt them, Eto'o is just not good enough anymore to be that top striker they need.
December 16, 201311 yr Manchester City vs Barcelona Olympiakos vs Manchester United AC Milan vs Atletico Madrid Bayer Leverkusen vs Paris St-Germain Galatasaray vs Chelsea Schalke vs Real Madrid Zenit St. Petersburg vs Borussia Dortmund Arsenal vs Bayern Munich SHIT HOT.
December 16, 201311 yr If ever anyone doubted the advantage of finishing top of the group they should look at that draw for the Premier League teams.
February 19, 201411 yr It's not beyond the realms of possibility that City could win 3-1 at the Nou Camp but you have to assume that Barcelona will go through after last night. Didn't look that threatening while City were sitting deep with 11 men and Silva and Nasri looked dangerous together at 1-0, you have to question Pellegrini's use of Demichelis ahead of Lescott although he actually had a really good first half. Expecting Milner, Nastasic and Aguero to start the second leg and Nasri and Jovetic to maybe be used as well. Could be worse, could be Bayer Leverkusen.
February 20, 201411 yr Atletico will be very difficult to beat at home. You'd assume that the four who won this week will all progress.
March 19, 201411 yr Author Final 8: Bayern Munich Borussia Dortmund Barcelona Real Madrid Atletico Madrid PSG Chelsea Man United
March 20, 201411 yr Ryan Giggs - still running the show at 40! Further proves how unbalanced their squad is!
March 20, 201411 yr I'm hoping Manchester United win the Champions League - it would arguably be one of the funniest things in my memory of Football - especially if Liverpool finish 4th.
March 20, 201411 yr I'm hoping Manchester United win the Champions League - it would arguably be one of the funniest things in my memory of Football - especially if Liverpool finish 4th. The likelihood of that happening is second to none. Think Liverpool will finish above Arsenal, and Manchester United are by far the worst team left in the competition. People compare it to Liverpool in 2005, but it's completely different. Liverpool had an average squad and master tactician. Man Utd have an average squad and a manager with no clue.
March 20, 201411 yr Chelsea in 2012 would be more apt, and they went into their quarter final as favourites which United won't.
March 21, 201411 yr QF first leg ties: Barcelona v Atletico Madrid Real Madrid v Borussia Dortmund PSG v Chelsea Manchester United v Bayern Munich Bayern big favourites and you'd back Real to beat Dortmund over two legs, but the other two are up in the air.
March 21, 201411 yr Chelsea have a massive advantage of playing PSG through in Paris in the first leg - had Chelsea been home in the first leg,I would fancy PSG qualifying.
March 21, 201411 yr Author Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea for me PSG are a good side, but Mourinho will find a way
March 21, 201411 yr Bayern, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea for me PSG are a good side, but Mourinho will find a way I'm thinking the same. If that were the final four I think he'd actually want Barcelona as well.
March 21, 201411 yr Author I'm thinking the same. If that were the final four I think he'd actually want Barcelona as well. Yep it'll be between Real Madrid and Bayern to win it this year I think
