any predictions on the Inter v Liverpool match?

I think Inter will win the match but Liverpool will go through.

It seems simple.

Inter, on form, only have to win by two more goals than Liverpool. Well, two if Liverpool don't score. If Liverpool score at least one, Inter need three to tie it, four to win.

It somehow doesn't seem out of reach, but...I don't know. I'd like to see Inter win, don't think it's gonna happen though.

Cruz strikes me as the sort of player who just thinks "But I could have scored.".

He could have put them one up if he laid it to Stankovic, but you can just imagine his reason for shooting as "I could have scored.", where as with Stankovic there was no "Could've", he would have.

I don't see Inter scoring really. As Andy Gray said; every time they break, Liverpool have four or more defenders back and ready.

It'll be tough.

-AC

Even tougher now the ref has sent Burdisso off for... I dunno.

edit.. Damn near impossible now.

Inter, for me, have not impressed in these two ties. Not sure why, but they just haven't.

With that said, they didn't look like losing or conceding until the two very unjust sending offs. Would they even have been down in the FIRST leg had they not lost one of their top defenders? I don't think so.

They missed Cordoba, that's for certain, and Burdisso was HARSHLY sent off. People can say "Torres only needs one chance.", but he only had one chance, and it came after the sending off. You've gotta look at these things. Also, you'd be a fool if you (In general, people) think Benitez isn't giving the C.L. his 90% focus right now. Man Utd, Arsenal and to an extent, Chelsea, do not have that luxury.

What's everyone's preferences on opponents?

Let me rephrase that;

Besides Fenerbahce, who is everyone's preferred opponent for their respective teams?

-AC

For me I would like to get Roma or Schalke.. and obviously Fenerbahce..

Carragher:

"We beat the best team in Europe. Top of their league, one defeat in their league.".

Wait...

-AC

shalke, chelsea, roma or arsenal in that order.

barcelona automatically moves to the top of the list if puyol goes down.

mancini announced his resignation at the end of the season. somewhere jose mourinho is jumping up and down.

You think Mourinho will go to Inter?

I think they might suit him if he's allowed to do as he pleases. He's not opposed to slender wins as long as he wins and controls it.

I don't know which man you are referring to, but I was referring to English people in general. The ones who phone-in, anyway. "Football's like a roundabout, sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down." - eh, what? Say, what? What?

Football Weekly one is good. Haven't heard the other.

I sometimes dribble at the traffic lights when those boys crack out a good one. Barry Glendenning is a diamond. I like 'ol James, too. Always used to watch Football Italia on Channel 4...

After seeing the Schalke game against Porto I think they would be the "most wanted" opponent.

Fenerbaçe even though a Turkish team, they have a lot of excellent foreign players and I think they could go further in this tournament, than many people think.

Arsenal´s impressive defeat of AC Milan must make them favorites imo ,followed by Barcelona.

But its a Cup tournament and Liverpool will end up with the cup again🙂

Don't know his name. Basically every person that phones or presents is a mug.

he wants to coach in italy or spain and inter is a pretty big club. maybe not though, ac milan would be better for him. he could go in and change the team a little bit more, buy his own players. inter is more of a complete team already.

I can't see Ancelotti leaving, though.

Barca? Has he made a decision about that yet. I think he'd be good there, cos it seems like they think they're a bit too don. He'd probably go in and say, even to Henry; "Play shit and you're dropped. Done.".

-AC

mancini isnt leaving, he reneged the quitting statement.

i could see him going to barca. i dont know whats going on with rijkaard though, i dont really pay attention to spanish news like that. id like to see him managing again, he was the only thing about chelsea that i liked.

Maybe he´ll go to Man united after all. Would be hard having Fergy´s shadow over you though,

You honestly think Mourinho would care about that?

-AC

CL draw:-

Well looks like Arsenal won´t be winning the CL cup again🙂💃

Roma V Man. United
Schalke V Barcelona
Fenerbahçe V Chelsea
Arsenal V Liverpool

It's fixed.

Arsenal have got so many crammed fixtures, it'll be tough, that's for sure. Liverpool blag their way through the cup, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them win it. They can afford to focus, they're struggling for 4th.
