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"

      Double Mattress, duvet and pillows

      By kristen · Posted

      I have two pillows we bought to try out - used once or twice - but didn't work out for us. Here's one: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/rosenskaerm-ergonomic-pillow-side-back-sleeper-30444369/ This is the other: https://www.ikea.com/bh/en/p/mjoelkklocka-ergonomic-pillow-side-back-sleeper-60446767/ (they don't stock it in the UK any more - I think) You're welcome to both/either (free). We were going to post them on Freecycle as we're moving and downsizing.

      Love Dulwich rebranding as Turkish Restaurant

      By beansprout · Posted

      We are talking Sunday not Saturday! Is Saray the one opposite Brockwell Park? Think it is - always quiet when we have been there but we eat early - forgot that one. Thanks. Food was ok not bad not good but staff are nice - that was six  months ago. Ohh excellent as you are a veggie too.. Will check out Dai Due Fratelli - thanks. No Thai I am referring too is up a few shops from Oxfam Book Shop…

      By pikeyed · Posted

      I think the Italian you are talking about was the old pizza place which is now closed and chicken shop in it's place? There is a nice Thai restaurant called Chern Thai on Grove Vale that should be open at lunchtime Saturday. I am veggie too btw. Peachy Goat in Herne Hill is good, but depends on the ask as it's kinda burgers and pasta and not the cheapest. I tried the Turkish in Herne Hill, Saray, round the corner Saturday before last and will be quiet but the owner is super sweet and it's not expensive. If you are happy with pizza / pasta, you could also do Dai Due Fratelli which is good food, friendly and attentive service at good prices on Lordship Lane.
