Alright! There's two: Newcastle and Fulchester.

[Annasfield]

If I definitely have got them and dependant on the outcome of the results, I will let you all know.

Funny how confident you all are.... ;-)

[SimonM]

Okay then my 4 for the semis are Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona & Roma...

Don't write off Fenerbahce!

I've got a bad feeling that there may be some crowd trouble in Rome tonight. I hope I'm wrong, but it,s one place, along with Amsterdam and Istanbul, that I wouldn't travel to for an away game.

[Sandperson]

I don't doubt it at all. It'll be all our fault of course.

[Keef]

Why do you say that? Man U fans didn't get a bad press last time did they (I genuinely can't remember). There's loads of crowd trouble in Italy, and fans and police have been killed in the last year or so, so I don't think anyone's going to suggest the English fans are going over there to kick off (with the probable exception of Blatter, but he's a cock).

Where were those Leeds fans killed a few years back, was that Turkey?

[atila the gooner]

Yes it was Turkey. The reason I wouldn't travel to these places is because English fans get treated really badly, and I've been to these places before and won't go again.

That's my work PC wallpaper sorted out.

The picture captures the real essence, the very being of the spotty one.

You've just done that for me, thanks, you're a star.

[Sandperson]

And his 24 goals in the league this season.....

Tis but one season, let's see if the spotty winker can do for more than just the one. Here's one he prepared earlier.;-)

[Sandperson]

Shame they don't have right eye wink one too!

Indeed, then he would be a complete winker. I don't know though, he's still a complete winker.

[Jah Lush]

Come on Atila, putting aside your hatred of all things Man Utd for a second and give credit where credit is due. The boy has been fantastic again this season. If Ronaldo isn't Footballer of The Year again this year I'll be very surprised. He certainly deserves it.

[Annasfield]

Saw that this morning.

I cannot stand him and think he's a tosser, but agree with Jah. Credit were cred.... Nope can't type it.

[Sandperson]

Come on Anna! You can say it now.

[Keef]

So, today is the day... Don't really know what to say, I'm genuinely nervous, and genuinely don't know if I can face watching tonight!

[Ladygooner]

May the best team win tonight! Keef, I find watching the match from behind a cushion helps!

Quite right, hope it's a good game with no nonsense penalties or sending offs, just a good contest.

Normally I'd be in the pub, but I feel really nervous about this one (more so than I have about the Chelsea matches in recent years).

[mockney piers]

Isn't this a pub only clash? (except for those of you with sky obviously)

I think I'm heading down the EDT despite having a horrible stinky cold that's threatening to ruin my last week at work and week off :(
