Man U - inter is ideal for me, the two teams I hate most and one has to go. Of course, i would prefer Man U to lose as they are more of a threat than 
, plus the further inter go in the tournament the better for us in Serie A. The possibilty of playing inter in the CL final in Rome would be so frigging sweet you can't imagine.
If we can win the trophy by beating them in Italy, the emotions would be undescribable. It would have actually Calciopoli worth it, just to see Del Piero, Trezeguet, Camoranesi, Buffon and Nedved lifting the trophy, Pavel with tears streaming down his face, Giovinco, De Ceglie and Marchisio becoming Juve legends already, Chiellini, Momo and Iaquinta running around the stadium like pyschos on crack, Camel leaving the stadium and Zanetti lying on the pitch hiding his face in shame. I swear I would weep like a little bitch from such bliss and pride.

wow , well said
Knowledge is key:
Our main advantage for this tie, and don't underestimate is the fact that from all the teams in the CL Chelsea is the team that Ranieri know best, not to mention that he is far than familiar with their style of play because oh well, the EPL was his main league and he is familiar how things go. Same goes for Maurinho and Inter, despite last year result, this year i expect the Italians to pass the test with flying colors, Roma has the least chances of the 3 but earlier they pulled an upset and beat Chelsea, i don't see why not they can't repeat that specially that the 2nd leg will be in Roma. Of course there are many other factors that decide how the game goes but these are the main factors i am basing my predictions on.

You read all sorts on here. Sissoko would dominate Lampard and Essien; thats is funy and painful to read at the same time.
Sure Sissoko can bully nancy boys with his crude methods but that would not mean a jot to a very hard man like Essien, who is possibly the most powerful midfielder in the world.
I do not remember Sissoko being able to dominate the not so nancy Inter Milan midfield so how does he expect to do that against the Chelsea juggernaut?
I even read that because Chiellini put Ibra inhis pocket he can do that to Drogba. I am sorry but if Drogba is in the mood then Cheillini and who ever is in for a very hard time indeed. Let us just hope he is not fully fit and Anelka plays as he is far easier to handle.
Then we come to the Grosso vs Clichy argument. Juventus fans that have Molinaro as their left full back should not publicly make fun of anybody's left back talk less of Clichy.
Grosso had a good season at Palermo but if memory serves it was not as a left back it was as a left midfielder and it was Lippi as it is his wont to convert him to left back and move Zambrotta to the right.
Clichy is not having a very good season and has bouts of loss of concentration but there are very few left full backs in his class. He is faster, more athletic than Grosso but I would give Grosso the edge in crossing of the ball as he is very good at that otherwise Clichy is much better.
Fred I still do not rate Scolari as a lot of coaches would have taken that Brazil team to glory of all they had to do was to beat china, costa rica, turkey in group phase; Belgium in the 2nd round, england in quarters, turkey again in semis and possibly the worst german side in history in the final and even so needed an error by Kahn to make the break through.
For Portugal if as hosts you cannot beat a very negative Greece side in the final by changing tactics then you do not deserve any accolades. His tactics were always the same, play Pauleta as a lone striker, let him work his ass off to no avail and then take him off for either Nuno Gomes or Postiga and if that don't work stick Ronaldo up there as a lone striker.
Never once deviating from that tactic as Portugal always seem to go out from tourneys with a whimper instead of a bang if he tried something different like play 2 strikers.
Anyways to be honest it would not surprise me if Ranieri outwits him
