We play Roma again, Totti said he wants to beat us 7 - 0 after we embarrassed them last season by beating them 7 - 1.

I doubt that will happen but you never know. I hope United teaches them another lesson. Arsenals group looks easier than United's, Chelsea's or Liverpools.

Difficult start for my Inter boys. The defense looks stretched for these first 3 games. Cordoba,Burdisso and Maicon suspended. And Materrazi and Chivu had to get injured to compound the problem while on International duty.

I still expect the Inter squad to have enough quality to top our group.

I expect this team for the game in turkey tomorrow night.

Man Utd play Dynamo Kiev tonight, after Saturdays game against Villa I can't wait to see the boys in action again. I just hope Sir Alex goes with an attacking formation this time, every time we play away in Europe we seem to play a conservative game. Kiev really need the points so they probably gonna come out all guns blazing so we should counter attack with the speed of Ronaldo and Rooney. I can't wait for tonight

righto - well ManU got a precious away victory in the quarters as did barcelona - now im curious to see the liverpool and arsenal game - that should be an epic battle

and probably repeated three times in the next 9 days ie i know they are playing each other three times - but what i hope must be repeated is that both sides must decide to play some entertaining cracking football

chelsea and liverpool through to the semi finals - the Arsenal vs liverpool game was a classic - it was really exciting footbaal - i hope that Man united get cracking against Roma - id love to se another 7-1 win but probably those idiots will go defensive and maybe even lose

i support them but i cannot predict them - even though they won in italy they could land up losing at home

i also think that Barcelona will come through as well - only thing im hoping on is that they will be meeting United instead of Roma :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: - lets see what happens tonight

I <3 Liverpool.
Well done chaps-you beat the best French team in the world. Ironic that it was a penalty won it for us (the goal by Babel was the cherry really).

Arsenals coach is a prat IMO.

seems poised for a great entertainign game of football - hope it doesnt become a chess match

chelsea vs liverpool was a terrific game - unlike uniteds workmanlike treatment of barcelona - i actually was more excited during the chelsea vs liverpool game - in the end well done chelsea - and commiserations to liverpool

commiserations to John Terry - it isnt a good thing to miss a penalty kick but there had to bbe a winner and there had to be a loser - im just glad that it was united who won though - another double under our belt and we march on to catching up liverpools haul of champions league wins and also top flight league titles

the next few years are going to be interesting indeed - and im glad we are getting to see football of such a high standard

the final was indeed an exciting match marred only by Drogba's sending off - but he had no right to lift his hand for his opponent and expect to get away with it especially when the incident really didnt concern him directly anyway - no individual player is too big for the game - as he found out to his own discomfort

but hey there was drama aplenty as well thrills and heartstopping moments but in the end it was united who edged through the hard won battle

im sure chelsea will fare better in the future and there will be many many more finals involving these two clubs which will be even more dramatic but tonight belonged to only one team in the end

glory glory man united

I have mixed feelings about this game,on the one end I feel SO sad for Chelsea - but then John Terry should not have missed that - I felt happy in a sense for Man U - but I hate that little actor Ronaldo
