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"

      There seems to be a change in the reception staff - did not recognise a couple of them when I last visited.  Not sure whether one of the long term staff has retired as not seen her for a while.  Used on line facility as my podiatrist recommended antibiotics for a toe infection and also took photo of my toe which I attached yo my request. Got a message back within a day to say medication ordered from chemist.

      Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.
