arwebb Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Indeed, but really Liverpool should have had a penalty a moment ago. Having said that, why isn't Crouch on the pitch yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Great result in the end. How can this team play like that against Inter and lose to Barnsley in the same week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rei Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Schalke - Porto 1-0 Roma - Real Madrid 2-1 Olympiacos - Chelsea 0-0 Liverpool - Inter 2-0 Celtic - Barcelona 2-3 Lyon - Man. United 1-1 Fenerbahçe - Sevilla 3-2 Arsenal - Milan 0-0 As usual, a boring Inter crashed and a practical Milan controlled. I'm particulary glad for Roma (except for its captain). Hope they could resist in Bernabeu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't think Inter necessarily set out to play in a defensive or negative fashion. I think they were forced onto the back foot by Liverpool's high tempo play, right from the first whistle. After the sending off of Materazzi, of course they were going to hold on and get what they could. What else would one expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yes, also, but you have to admit that it's not the first time that Inter risks to fall in CL in that manner. Despite unlucky circumstances, I think that What they mostly failed is the mentality. From their executives to the players and those crap manager. It's not a case that despite owning some of the best players on the market it didn't reach a semi since 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Not the first time perhaps, but I don't think many teams in the competition would have got better results against that opposition, on that night and with the disadvantage of playing with ten men for an hour.

arwebb Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Didn't see that result coming at the San Siro at all and apparently it wasn't a fluke either. I say apparently as I've had better things to do this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmet Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Wow, the Fenerbahçe vs. Sevilla was really intense. It went to penalty shoot outs and Fenerbahçe won that round three to two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted March 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ha, I almost got it! I predicted Arsenal to go through but didn't imagine with such score.. congrats. I like the way they're playing and I'm glad to see londinians going ahead as I would like to see Roma passing over Real tonight.. Forza Roma! Tonight: Porto - Schalke Real Madrid - Roma Chelsea - Olympiacos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Porto 1-4 (P) Schalke Real Madrid 1-2 Roma Chelsea 3-0 Olympiacos Grande Roma! So the two most winning teams ever beaten at home by emerging Arsenal and Roma and England is the most rapresentative with already three teams qualified to quarters and a fourth likely to join them.. it's getting interesting..

Rei Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 ..and that's it! Arsenal, Fenerbahce, Barcelona, Man. United, Roma, Chelsea, Schalke and Liverpool* to the quarters. *After yesterday's lost, Inter's manager Mancini would intend to leave(at last!).. first names coming up as his possible successor are Mijahovic and Mourinho.

Rob2012 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 So if Chelsea win, we're certain of a team in the final. Liverpool v Utd final would be fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwebb Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I don't see it happening. Chelsea v Barcelona in the final for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm not saying that's the most likely final (I think someone v Barcalona is probably most likely) but it would be great to see two English teams it. And since I hate both Chelsea and Arsenal (for different reasons) and have nothing against Liverpool or Man Utd, the two teams from the North West would be my ideal final.

And since I hate both Chelsea and Arsenal (for different reasons) and have nothing against Liverpool or Man Utd, the two teams from the North West would be my ideal final. I'd love to see an all-English final but, despite all the smugness about four English teams in the last eight, I just don't see it happening. Let's not forget that we had three teams in the semi-finals last season and none of them could win it. I reckon Liverpool will edge out Arsenal, but Chelsea will get some revenge in the semi. Manchester United should get past Roma and two legs against Barca would be epic, but I think the Catalans would have too much for them. But, if it is two English sides in the final, isn't it lunacy to make them traipse to Moscow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
