ONE love, blood, life
The thread title is about all I know about English footy, so I'm going to leave this one in more capable hands now.

Glad we've avoided Arsenal anyway. Saints (should) get past Brentford in the replay, but either way, we should cruise to the semis.

shouldn't that be Bolton v Arsenal or Sheff. Utd? or have we just jumped to the conclusion the Blades will not be able to overturn the mighty Arsenal at Bramall Lane??
tarquinsuperb said:For the first leg at least I think United - Milan is the most interesting because of the number of players Chelsea are going to be missing. The other thing is since the draw was made United have been playing on another planet and have been an absolute pleasure to watch from Christmas onwards.(It doesn't mean I like them any more but credit where credit's due). I had the feeling on Saturday that they had plenty in reserve if they needed it and Wednesday night could be a good time to play Milan if Shevchenko is missing. I must admit I don't know a loads about Milan but you hear the names such as Shevchenko, Kaka, Stam and you know they're quality. They will also be keen to make amends for the incredible game against Deportivo La Coruna in the second leg last year.
I'm not going to watch this game however as I'm hoping I'll be watching the famous Chelsea play out a bore draw against Barcelona and then hopefully for the game at the Bridge some of our big guns will be fit again. If the players remember how painfull last year was I'm sure we'll be OK and I think we can guarantee an absolutely electric atmosphere for both games.

yertle-the-turtle said:ah, D'oh, that means the dulcet tones of John Dykes, Paul Masefield and the rest of the ESPN StarSports crew will be giving their opinions, no?
I think the highlight for me would be Barca-Chelsea.
Aardvark747 said:Agree with you D'oh, about the Chelsea and Arsenal struggle this week.
I really do think this will turn out to be a good couple of weeks for UTD's season!
D'oh! said:As for Chelsea, it would be a real pity if their season unravelled this month.
