The United QF does look comfortable but they do play their 2nd leg away from home in both QF and SF. I think Arsenal will be in the Final. Liverpool's QF is going to be tough and my gut reaction is Chelsea will do us over..


We're likely to play Chelsea at home on the Wednesday following Fulham (as 2nd leg wld hv to be on the Tuesday to avoid Hillsborough anniversary). United play the Sunday before at home against Villa (before 1st leg), but I can't see United playing same night as the Liverpool/Chelsea 1st leg for TV reasons. Therefore Man U v Villa will have to be moved back to the Saturday - but will they as there is no free TV slot on Sky apart from that 4pm on Sunday for Sky, so we could have United only having 2 days to prepare for their Porto 1st leg... Even if it is played at 3pm on Saturday (no TV coverage which will pi$$ Sky off), Ferguson will be fuming as they have 1 day less to recover after the Internationals played in the days before their Villa PL match. Hope that makes sense!

...me thinks there will be a spate of 'injuries' before the Internationals...;-)


I think Bayern could beat Barca, they've got a strong aerial threat with Toni and Klose, which Barca aren't used to in La Liga, and like any German defence are well organised, I'm definitely going to have a punt on them to progress...

Liverpool v Chelsea could go either way, but Chelsea slight favourites with home advantage in 2nd leg, like last years semi...

Arsenal should go through over 2 legs but it will be very tight. Utd played out two 0-0 draws in the group stage...

If Utd can keep a clean sheet and get a 2-0 or better we should go through, I think we'll score in Porto...

Alex Ferguson finally speaks, and gives credit where it's due in regard Liverpool thumping United last weekend, "It's hard to defend a 4-1 defeat and we have to be absolutely clear in our mind about the reasons why it happened, and we are clear about it. I think it was self-inflicted"

Blackburn 1 West Ham 2 ( chasing down 6th )

    • Supermarkets have massive volume and tiny profit margins. If this were true Ocado would be dead by the end of the week, surely.
    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
