    I guess there has not been a thread on this yet, so i'll start it off.

    haven't watched today's games due to work, but from what i've been told and read, man u had a strong first half that they could not translate to goals. inter played better the 2nd half, but a goalless draw at home spells trouble heading to old trafford for the 2nd leg. i hope inter can somehow draw and advance (i dislike man u) but i think man u will probably beat them convincingly at home.

    my team is liverpool, and they're playing fake madrid tomorrow. anyone watching this game? can't wait... i'm calling a good old fashioned whooping by the reds. 3-1. kuyt and babel will score.

    others teams and schedules for remaining matches.

    ONE NIL, TO THE ARSENAL
    ONE NIL, TO THE ARSENAL

    But it's definitely a disappointing result, considering how the Gunners bossed most of the game. It would've been 2-0 or 3-0 if Bendtner wasn't such a donkey... Now we face an away leg with Totti and Vucinic healthy, although De Rossi will be suspended.

    Walcott might be still prepping by then and getting his conditioning better...

    He hasn't had a full workout since november when he had the surgery,
    so he needs some time to get back into it...he starts his workout monday so he might be ready for the champions league match...

    Fabregas should be back soon too...he should be back beginning of april
    Cant wait for that!!

    Good result for the Gunners. I'll gladly take a 1-1 on the road.

    i didn't see the porto manu game cuz of work, but i followed on gamecast. can't wait to watch it later. looked like a really exciting beginning and end to the game.. i hear manchester's defense looked very poor w/o rio. suck it manu, hope porto can pull off the 1-1 tie next leg.

    go reds!! i think we can take care of chelsea even w/ the great guus over there now

    I can't believe there is a player on the Porto team called "Hulk" :D.

    I'm in Barcelona right now, going to watch the Barca vs. Bayern match tomorrow - bit nervous about it, as my Bayern team is in a total slump right now and Barca seems like the best team in the world right now, so I hope that we can avoid getting completely slaughtered here.

    Anyway, I'll be at the banquet with the Bayern team after the match, so depending on the outcome of tomorrow's match, this could become interesting...

    Yet another poor match from United, what is that four straight? Here's hoping we can get out of this slump and win at Porto. They looked good today and historically, they're a bad match up for us.

    Oh my God, we will be destroyed tonight...missing Klose, but more importantly, missing almost our complete defense with Lucio, Van Buyten, Lahm.

    Our defense will consist of Demichelis (who is decent), Lell, Oddo (they both suck more than anything has ever sucked before), Breno (great potential, but completely inexperienced). Plus, we sacked our goalkeeper and replaced him with 34-year old BUTT (yeah, really his name).

    We're toast.

    My prediction: 7-1 for Barca vs. Bayern.

    Heading to the pre-game cocktails now...

    2-0 in the 12th minute, the second goal looked offside, but regardless of that it's not looking good for Bayern.
