    Tuesday: Barca vs Chel

    Wednesday: United vs Arsenal

    What are people thinking?

    Surely Barca will be able to beat Chelsea in the Nou Camp tonight?

    Any bets that look like good value?

    As I have Barca backed already for the CL I am not going to back a single on tonights match but i do believe Barca will win - I did put a tenner on Messi to score 1st and Barca to win 4-1 though @ 100-1.

    Tricky very tricky, form and firepower says Utd/Barca double but 3/1 is hardly generous given the nature of these games.

    Anytime goalscorers could be worth a punt - Rooney v Arsenal backline and Eto v Cech
    7/1

    Both teams to score double 3.5/1 could be the best bet.

    Vidic to score in 90 mins + United to win = 10/1

    Backed Barca on a single 8/11.

    Not the most exciting bet but I think its a good price.

    I would give Arsenal every chance of coming away with something from the Old Trafford (as long as Howard Webb isn't officiating!). Not sure what my bet of choice will be on that as of yet though...

    tonight the bet would be to lay 0-0. Yesterday Bettingzone put up the 0-0 at 12/1 and before kick-off 14/1 was available on betfair, but tonight I expect at least one goal, so I'll be laying the 0-0. I hope, and expect, to see more positive football being played !

    with regards to last night, i think I'll back Barcelona to progress now, although 4/6 is a little shorter than I thought it would be !

    Was a disaster with Barca, everything suggested a home win. And I think we cannot be too hard on our selection. Bojan should've finished his chance of a header on near post. Also felt Henry should've got the peno.

    Yea that was a define peno when Alex pulled Henry down. We should have won our money :(

    Lay 0-0 at your peril.

    I think there will be few goals again, too much at stake in the 1st legs.

    So, it wll be less than 1.5 goals for me. 12/5 on betfair

    Double @ 3.44

    Happy days. All the proceeds will probably go a double consisting of Shels away to Harps and Wexford Youths HT/FT.

    we both won !!!
    how could you doubt John O'Shea ? 15 goals in his career, but although frugal, he seems to save them for big occasions. at least i could relax early on while you had to endure Ronaldo thumping the bar !!!!!!
