Deep down inside you, you know i'm right:eyebrows:


Roma have the biggest chance of going through. Inter and Juve are as good as out i'm afraid.;)
Hi and how are you doing?

You can never discount the Jose Mourinho factor as he has an amazing record over Fergie but whether he can do that with this Inter side remains to be seen. It is amazing that both sides qualified by just winning 2 games each in what was a mediocre qualifying campaign and Inter's best player is absolute shite in Cl in Zlatan.

As for Chelsea they have not really impressed against the big sides now have they? I have always manitained that there are question marks against Felipe Scolari and I have been proven right as its 1 thing to beating Sunderland 5-0 it is quite another to beat Juventus. Ranieri whether you like him or not is more technically atute than Capello in big matches and would prove once again in CL

I do not know if you agree but this is without doubt imo Wenger's worst Arsenal side as the only time I have been impressed with them this season was against Man United. Against Chelsea, I felt they were fortunate with the offisde goal as before then they seemed clueless.

In saying that Roma have not been exactly fantastic and contrary to some of the things that I have read on here are more defensive than they have been for years as their performance away to Chelsea would testify but unfortunately for you they have Totti back and if he is fully fit in February then it would very difficult for Arsenal cos unlike Milan last season, this side is not ancient and slow.

Besides Arsenal was a much greater team than they are now. Just look at your midfield, it is kind of embarassing as only Cesc is 1 to be reckoned with. Hleb and Flamini are huge losses. But Roma always give chances at the back and both keepers in my view are not top draw so we would see

The games will be played 24/25 February and 10/11 March.

Here's our schedule then:

22/2: Palermo away (could be just two days before Chelsea away, tough)
1/3: Napoli away
8/3: Torino derby (could also be just two days before the Chelsea game)

That's not an easy schedule at all.
No, we'll play our serie A matches on Saturday if we play the CL match on Tuesday. They will make it sure that there are at least 3 days before our serie A match and the CL match. It's always like that.

Ah, hadn't thought of that. Still not easy, but I guess it could've been worse.

Out of all the teams we could face, exactly the one I didn't want.
On the other hand, if we can beat them, we have a big chance of winning this, IMO, they are one of the favourites this season so if we can beat them, surely, we can beat most of the other teams also.

Secco just talked to skysports news, he speaks damn good english! He basically said that its been a long time since juventus were in the competition, and after beating real madrid twice we do not fear anyone, even though they are a good squad.

He then went on to talk about ranieri saying he knows chelsea very well, a lot of players have changed but he knows about the old guard.

Like i said before, Roma have a big chance, its equal between us and them.


Juve and Inter on the other hand can kiss the CL goodbye already :D
I really think its the other way around. Juve and Inter will probably get pass united and chelsea while roma will probably lose against arsenal .......

:D
