we lost 2-1. first goal a complete shocker. they were VREY fortunate. 2nd goal, good build up and nice finish. gotta give em that.
but delfouneso!!!! what a breathtaking goal. ive always kept my eye on him since i found out about him last year and im glad to see he is emerging through. keep a look out for him.
also, keep a look out for another one of our youngsters - Harry Forrester!
Well, we are through - thanks to the result of the hamburg game.
I hope we win on Sunday against Everton (Who I really, really hate). I dont care what the result is in Hamburg because we are through. I'd still like us to win of course.
Lisandro Lopez is an excellent player imo. I cant believe that bigger clubs around Europe aren't queuing up to sign him. I have seen him a lot over the last 2 or 3 years and i have been impressed every time.
The Portuguese sides arent bad. Both Sporting and Porto have a lot of good players. So do Benfica who are on top of the Portuguese league. They have Luisao, Petit,Katsouranis, Reyes, Aimar, Di Maria, Nuno Gomes, and Suazo.

Chelsea - Juventus
Villarreal - Panathinaikos
Sporting - Bayern
Atletico Madrid - FC Porto
Lyon - Barcelona
Real Madrid - Liverpool
Arsenal - Roma
Inter - Manchester United
Man Utd will slaughter Inter imo. Id fancy Liverpool to beat Real Madrid and Juventus is a tough one for Chelsea. There are a few good match ups there.

I actually did not want Inter, yes they haven't been great in the CL so far, but nor have Man Utd. Man Utd only won twice in a average group (not including Villarreal).
Arsenal v Roma will be good to watch
I wanted Atleti to face Porto
Real Madrid might have their act together by the time they play Liverpool, although if they don't then Liverpool could destroy them.

Bolzoni is one for the future and Quaresma sucks imo. I never rated him at all. For every good game he has, he has about ten really bad ones. very over-rated
Bolzoni is for the future not now. Quaresma has all the abilty but he lacks it in his head, hes not as confident as he comes across.
But surely he deserves to be in the CL squad :wondering:
I've watched Quaresma alot, he really has got amazing talent, but he needs the team to basically be built around his play. He was very consistant for Porto in the league and Champions League and put on some great displays, last season he was up and down due to the fact he didn't really want to be there.
