Tottenham better watch out against Milan next week. Alexandre Pato has been unreal
against Napoli today.

Wonder if Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, and Man U will all advance in Champions League? Looks like they all have a solid chance.

i fully expect Barca to return to form and advance over Arsenal. They just have too much firepower.

Frickin' Bayern lost to Dortmund this weekend. They had better put their energy now into the Pokal vs Schalke and then Milan.

Agreed about Barca.

I think United, Chelsea, and Spurs will all advance. But, I could be wrong. Milan could get the W in London.

Rooney with a great goal.

In other news, Van Persie is out for the return leg to the Nou Camp and Walcott will probably be out as well. Feeling very confident. Just hoping Puyol is fit by then.

Puyol or not, I don't think Arsenal can advance without RVP and Walcott. His speed opened up a lot of opportunities in the first match and neither Bendtner or Chamakh can finish like RVP. Nasri has gone awol as well.

Not having Puyol would scare me. Having to play Militio at CB terrifies me.

thank you Chelsea! Arsenal are still in it..

Oh, and I think Arsenal advance in the CL, but obviously that is a Gunner's opinion. Chamakh is good in the air and I think he sees the start. Hopefully Wilshere, Nasri, and Fabregas hold it down. I am just hoping we can somehow pull a cleansheet.

He has just been unlucky and that happens from time to time. If you watched the BC match on Sunday you would see there is nothing wrong with his form he was just really unlucky.

Yeah you're right, he carried the team while Fab and RVP were out and I guess I just got use to him taking over games.

You should be more worried about scoring a goal than a cleansheet. Barcelona is going to score, it's just a matter of can y'all get a goal.

I am going to pray and hope for a cleansheet and work my way down from there.. You get get screwed over if you start at your absolute minimum.

I was optimistic about the first game and it worked so I am going to try it again.

The referee in the Chelsea/United match was a joke. You send Vidic off, yet you let Luiz get away with foul after foul? Gtho.

Both certainly deserved to be sent off. Have no idea how he missed the Luiz hack.

Agreed. SAF was blasting the referee after the match.

Luiz's hack aside, Luiz has been a monster for Chelsea since they signed him. Who would have thought he would get his first goal for the Blues before Torres? What a terrible purchase.

So glad we got rid of him. Has not been producing the way he should for a while. He's Chelsea's problem now.

IMO, Liverpool have a very bright future with Carroll and Suarez. Better than they did with Torres on the squad. Now they just need to beef up the midfield and buy a competent LB.

Making a move for someone like Eljero Elia (M or LW), Benoit Tremoulinas (LB), or Marek Hamsik (M) would be great. Hamsik would be the best fit for them in my opinion. He would be their equivalent to Nasri of Arsenal.

Also, Gareth Bale could be a key future target for them. Most of their poor play comes down the left side and it just so happens he can play every position down that side.

I don't know as much as you do or as much as a lot of people on here, but I would absolutely LOVE to have Bale with Liverpool.
