Champions League Quarter Finals

Good to see Ferguson has continued his embarrassing CL record with an impressive 2-0 away win.

I can see the 2nd leg being an awfully boring match though

Torres vs Toure | Gallas

This should be interesting tonight. imo Toure hasnt been the same guy since returning from ANC, Willy has also been guilty of some silly mistakes. Will Wenger go with Senderos and Toure at RB?

I reckon it will be Toure at RB with Swiss Tony in the centre, then the next big question is Walcott or Eboue ahead of Toure personally I would like Walcott against that Arelio chap would give him a good run for his money

Fergies record in the CL is poor though, there are fans of the club who don't remember 1999! Some of them are reading this

Yes, but I think the original quote of "embarassing cl record" was due to the amount of times ye have won it/made the final, not the win/loose/draw stats.

Anyway, I'm going for a very boring 0-0 tonight at the Arsenal.
And I'm predicting the turks to do Chelsea over two legs.(You heard it here first :eek:)

Discpline could have a big bearing on the Arsenal Pool tie

Gael Clichy, Denilson, Emmanuel Adebayor, Aleksandr Hleb and Emmanuel Eboue (Arsenal) and Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fabio Aurelio (Liverpool) will miss the second leg of this tie if shown a yellow card.

good point. I cant see Gerrard & Carra not picking up a yellow tonight

Evil_Clown

Eboue is a given for a yellow if he starts for something ret@rded no doubt

hopefully there's no stupid bookings that will affect the tie of the round.

from a pool point of view a 1-1 draw would be brilliant.

Panthro

come on the chels live on sky sports 2!

Schalke

Would be surprised if one of Gerrard or Carragher didn't get a yellow, especially since the Arsenal players will provoke them as much as possible, Carragher especially is prone to making rash tackles against tricky players.

Mr.Nice Guy

Looking forward to tonight's match. I firmly believe that Arsenal will give themselves a commanding lead going into the second leg. A two goal winning margin imo. I hope Fenerbahce can get one over on Chelski but I won't hold my breath.

Pepe LeFrits

I don't think so. While the games between the two recently have been high scoring affairs, I think this one will be much tighter.

If Hleb gets booked tonight I'll be raging, his booking against Milan was absolutely ridiculous.

Theo has been doing well recently but I'd be inclined to keep him on the bench until the later stages of the game, when Liverpool will have less energy to keep him quiet.

following on from last nights 33/1 touch....

hmmmmmmm bets tonight

options

Fabregas first goal +arsenal 2-1 45/1
Adebeyor first goal +arsenal 2-1 30/1

Drogba first goal +chelsea 2-0 28/1
Lampard first goal +chelsea 2-0 40/1

will wait till I see the lineups and get a bolt of inspiration....

PHB

Schalke

Adebeyor first goal +arsenal 2-1 30/1

I'd go for that.

I'm hopin' the internet jinx is out tonight on that one
On SSN there, saying Adebayor has never scored against Liverpool and has only one CL goal this season.
I reckon a draw tonight but hopin' for the 'pool win.

I think Hyypia first scorer (14/1) + Pool 1-0 (13/2) looks decent

Come on the gunners!!

2-0!

Charlie

Anyone else notice that, when RTE showed the 'Pool starting lineup, they showed them as fielding 12 players. Doh!!

Unearthly

Schalke

I reckon this will be a 0-0

If there is a winner, Liverpool with a Torres goal

DeadSkin

Dunphy's off again!!!! He says he won't be surprised if Torres doesn't get a kick of the ball tonight, cause he get's no service :D:pac:

mayordenis

hows about 0-0 until a late inspired sub, rafa takes off wonder boy torres and brings on voronin who scores a brace?

mayordenis

park scholes carrick are defensive midfielders apparently . . .

T-b0n3

LOL just seen that now. quality!

Arsenal should be banned for not playing a champions league type game to suit liverpool.

This high paced passing football has no place in the CL qtr finals.

Adebyour!
1-0

KdjaCL

1-0 should be 3 but for a great save and a bad miss by RVP.

That didn't last!

Kind of an obvious question but why is Brady commentating on the Arsenal game?

he always does the Arsenal ones (the rare few on RTE). despite his affiliations with the club he's rarely biased though.

Probably handier than flying back to Dublin to be on the pundit panel.
