I can't wait for a Liverpool v Man U final.

 

I know you can't really compare PSV to Chelsea but on current form Liverpool will HAMMER Chelsea.

As a Liverpool fan I'm delighted that Chelsea have got through as I think Rafa's old club with Morientes, etc would have given Liverpool grief.

 

 

Roll on a Liverpool v AC Milan re-match in the Final.

 

I would have liked to have seen an all England final.

 

But with it taking place in Athens, I'd fear the repercussions with the legendary Greek police trying to look after things. I don't want to see Liverpool go through another Heysel or Hillsborough and I'm sure Manchester United supporters would not want a tragedy to come close to eclipsing the Munich Air Disaster in 1958.

Man U totally ripped up Roma last night- it was an amazing game and yet again, Ronaldo was the man of the match!

Utter brilliance!

For the last 12 hours I've been trying to think of a better performance that I've seen. And I can't think of one. I'm no Manchester United fan but that was brilliant, they made Roma look like a Conference side!

 

Every single player was amazing last night. Even Michael Carrick, I've never been too impressed with him but that was by far and away the best performance I've ever seen from him. Alan Smith also had a great game, you forget about him with how long he's been out injured but last night he proved what a brilliant player he is, constantly working for the team and always chasing lost causes. And Darren Fletcher too, I've always thought he gets a lot of unfair critisism, and last night I think he proved all of his critics wrong.

 

People say Arsenal are the best footballing side in the country, and they are good, but never have I seen them play that well. And Man Utd had half of their first choice outfield team missing! 8 players in their lineup from Britain & Ireland - a fantastic night!

 

Also pleased Chelsea went through, I think they'll beat Liverpool and then beat Man Utd in the final getting revenge for Utd beating them to the title and in the FA Cup Final.

Well said!

100% in agreement :cheer:

 

I was saying last night that this is probably the best we've been playing since the turn of the century and it PROVES that you need to give managers time to build a team. Fergie built our team that dominated in the 1990's and then it went downhill for a bit in 2001 when players like Beckham, Schmichael and Irwin had left and now the likes of Ronaldo, Rooney and Vidic are settling in this is the team that can hopefully dominate the Premiership and Europe in the same way we once did :D Well I'm not saying it went down THAT much but you get what I mean..

 

Always been a fan of Carrick and he proved how valuable he is last night, don't know how he'd fit in for England though.. :unsure:

Man U vs Roma

 

 

Manchester United 7-1 AS Rome!

Manchester United produced one of the most stunning European performances of all time at Old Trafford to overwhelm Roma 7-1 and book a Champions League semi-final meeting with AC Milan or Bayern Munich. In 20 years as United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson has seen and done virtually everything. But never, in five previous attempts, has he presided over a Champions League knockout stage win from a first-leg defeat. And never, ever, has he seen one of his teams go out against the Italian masters of defence and score seven times. On one of those once-in-a-lifetime nights when everything goes right, the Red Devils were unbelievably four up at half-time. By the end they had a truly magnificent seven, with Michael Carrick and Cristiano Ronaldo getting two each, Alan Smith, Wayne Rooney and Patrice Evra just the one. Trailing by a single goal from the first leg, the result represented United's biggest European win since they defeated Irish minnows Waterford by the same scoreline on the first stage of their run to the 1968 Final. It was more than enough to take Ferguson's men into the last four for the first time since 2002, a win all the more remarkable because they were missing at least four automatic members of the Scot's first-choice line-up. As the hosts headed off down the tunnel at half-time, their joyous supporters cheered themselves hoarse, wondering, perhaps, whether they had just witnessed the most amazing 45 minutes of European football this ground has ever seen. After surviving a couple of early scares, United hit Roma like a whirlwind. The football they produced simply took the breath away. The usual protagonists were to the fore as expected, but so too were Darren Fletcher, who probably only got his chance because Paul Scholes was suspended, and Carrick, who scored the first, played a major role in the second and at a stroke swept away the doubters who believed at #18.6million, the summer signing from Tottenham was far too expensive. Carrick set United on their way in nerveless fashion, collecting Ronaldo's square pass, then advancing on the Roma goal. Alexander Doni may look back and feel he got his angles wrong but in offering Carrick a clear sight of his top left-hand corner, he committed goalkeeping suicide. The midfielder gleefully dispatched a curling shot to light the blue touch paper on the end of which Roma's Champions League dream was burnt to a frazzle. The home crowd were still buzzing when Carrick laid an exquisite pass to Rooney, who instantly flicked the ball onto Ryan Giggs. The Welshman's through ball deflected off Cristian Chivu to Smith. In smashing home his shot, the Yorkshireman was banishing 14 months of injury hell. He was also scoring his first United goal since November 2005 and his first in this competition since netting for Leeds against Deportivo La Coruna at the same stage six years ago. Roma were still reeling when they were hit by another thunderbolt as Ronaldo released Giggs, whose cross was flicked into the far corner by Rooney. Having scored his first goal in 18 Champions League games a week ago, the England man suddenly has a taste for it. So too, Ronaldo, who prior to this onslaught had never scored a goal in the competition but had predicted in a pre-match programme interview his time was coming. It proved to be a fairly accurate assessment of the situation too as he collected the ball from Giggs two minutes before the break, attacked Chivu with his usual directness and slammed the ball into the bottom corner. And that, for the first half at least, was that. The incredulous Roma contingent could not quite believe what had happened. Their supporters, who had not exactly enjoyed the most hospitable Manchester welcome, tried to make the best of it. But their misery was not complete. Rooney began the second period with a fizzing shot Doni flicked over. Giggs' corner was half cleared but when Rooney ferried a pass back to the Welshman, he drilled a low cross to the far post where Ronaldo was waiting to bundle it home. A sixth followed on the hour as Carrick collected Gabriel Heinze's pass and arrowed a shot into the top corner which was even better than his first effort. Daniele de Rossi pulled one back for Roma but Evra soon cancelled it out to complete the rout. Manchester United - AS Rome : 7-1 (1-2)Buts : Carrick (9eme, 60eme), Smith (17eme), Rooney (19eme), C.Ronaldo (44eme, 49eme), Evra (81eme) pour Manchester United - De Rossi (69eme) pour l'AS Rome.

Valencia 1-2 Chelsea

Wierd game for Liverpool tonight. We were all over PSV yet again but this time we couldn't produce anything. There was no pace up front at all when Bellamy went off injured, with Fowler and Crouch. Pennant was good at times butm also very wasteful. I did feel real sorry for PSV though when that player of their's was sent off. Was never a red card in a million years.

 

AC Milan vs Man Utd and Chelsea vs Liverpool. Looks set to be two brilliant ties. I hope it's a Man Utd vs Liverpool final but who knows.

Fletcher was our outstanding player, a player with nothing, no agility, class, nout.

 

It's easy to pick out the stars on £100,000 p/w. But Fletcher really shined through, so did Smudger!

Betting odds averaged out to win the Champions League put the teams in this order

 

1. Chelsea

2. Man Utd

3. Liverpool

4. Valencia

5. AC Milan

6. Roma

7. Bayern Munich

8. PSV

 

I pretty much agree with that, with the teams left i think an English team probably should win the Competition ^_^

 

I said i agreed with it, and i still do think an English team should win it ^_^ I'll stick my neck out and say the winner of the Liverpool V Chelsea tie will win it :P

I think Man U are in with a big chance of winning it!

You were playing PSV :P

 

I went out to watch this and it was ok but not that great then again it would have been better if Liverpool had something to play for.

The game was a little boring- but they still won i suppose.

 

I would love a Man U V Liverpool fianl- that would be cool!

 

Hopefully Man U would win!

So we were. :lol: I got a bit too ahead of myself last night. :lol: I've edited now.

lol

Manchester United will win Champion league. That my opinion, you all saw them play against Roma. Roma didn't play, they were just running around hoping Ronaldno won't get ball.
