Quality = entertainment (and occasionally crappy defending)

Basically that's the unwritten statement here.
His statement was very subjective though. Not all consider Arsenal and Barca play/style the most entertaining.

I would prefer two different playing styles to meat each other in the final rather than one, for me that would be more entertaining.

While Arsenal might have a crappy defense, Barcelona's defense is actually rather strong. The fact that they play in such an attack minded way, yet their defenders still manage to hold their own is rather admirable.

It is subjective. But most of the time football fans like to watch pass and move attack minded free flowing football.

    I'm sure we had the same discussion, but which are the teams you guys will cheer for in the next CL round?
    For me it's:

    Lyon-Real = Real
    Stuttgart-Barcelona = Stuttgart all the way
    Milan-Manchester = Manchester all the way
    CSKA-Sevilla = CSKA
    Porto-Arsenal = Porto all the way
    Inter-Chelsea = Chelsea all the way
    Fiorentina-Bayern = Bayern
    Olympiacos-Bordeaux = Bordeaux

    Don't care about the other games, really.

    Smart guy :D
    Almost the same as me. Just that I also support Porto together with the other 3.
    As for the rest, I only prefer some teams to proceed, but I won't care at all if they don't.

    Which team of the remaining 16 (excluding the obvious outsiders) do you want to win the CL?
    Not sure.

    The strongest tie I have to any of them is Man Utd due to wanting Fergie to do well, but that is pretty much cancelled out by generally wanting English teams to fail.

    I wouldn't say I want any of the teams to win, but Man Utd is probably the lesser evil of the teams capable of winning.

    I just want the English teams to fail mainly, but unfortunately Chelsea meet Inter, so that's easy enough.

    I do want Milan to win against United though, not because of Milan, but because of United.

    I don't really care that much about the others, but I don't have a 'thing' against teams like Madrid or Barca, like alot of the people here do. I can just enjoy watching their stars do their thing as a neutral, instead of thinking about their policies or what not.

    I just feel the next round would be much more interesting with these teams progressing than Stuttgart or Lyon, two teams who I really don't give a damn about.

    I agree with most people here in that i want English teams to fail(with one obvious exception). Milan and Inter all the way!!

    Would be nice if the Ligue teams progressed too.

    Folks that want Manchowder to win anything are delusional, on the verge of being included in the list of folks heading to my gas chamber. But perhaps they will be saved because we can't cram all those real fans into their death as it is.
