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 )

Fulham 1 Man Utd 1 ( Man Utd starting to lose it )

Newcastle 0 Arsenal 3

Portsmouth 0 Everton 0 ( zzzzzzzz )

Stoke 1 Middlesbrough 2

Tottenham 0 Chelsea 4

West Brom 0 Bolton 0 ( zzzzzzzzz )


Liverpool 2 Aston Villa 0 ( Pool on a roll )

Man City 3 Sunderland 0

Wigan 0 Hull 0 ( zzzzzzzzz )

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
