    I think it'l be Italy, for one reason - AC Milan. I'm going for an AC Vs. Real final with AC to win it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,164 ✭✭✭Space Coyote


    I'd love to see AC win the thing as I've supported them for donkeys years.
    Real V AC Milan in de final, Real to win 5-4.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,818 ✭✭✭Bateman


    Barelona and Milan were my start of season tips but it looks like Valencia and Real Madrid will be there or thereabouts, with Manchester United looking strong as well.

    Next season will be much more interesting though, with more knockout games.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    i think it will be Réal Madrid


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 22,854 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    won't be anybody outside Italy and spain IMO;)

    ac milan or man utd, dont forget the final is at old trafford.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,832 ✭✭✭Waylander


    I have fancied United in this all season and sstill do but I am biased. With the final in Old trafford, and United through to the knockouts it is all down to the luck of the draw in fairness. If they avoid Real and Milan they will go through to the semis.


  • Moderators, Regional North East Moderators Posts: 12,739 Mod ✭✭✭✭cournioni


    If United get to the final they will win. Almost there already. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 697 ✭✭✭The Reaper


    A.C Milan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    United, Real, Valencia or Arsenal.

    Depending on the draws for the quarters and semis I cant see any Italian team even reaching the semis.

    Milan or Inter have not been tested yet.

    So too Barca who are crap and in the bottom half of La Liga table but have won ten on the trot in Europe. Just shows who they have played in the CL.

    when is the draw taking place for the quarter finals???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,064 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Gotta finish the remaining group stage matches first!!

    still two to go..

    To answer your question: I dont know :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 160 ✭✭Hugs-E


    The draws usually take place the Friday after the group stages have finished so I think thats the 21st March.

    Correct me if I'm wrong people !

    >Milan or Inter have not been tested yet.

    Inter just got tonked in the Nou Camp last week!

    5. Holland - Are Ajax ready for CL glory again ?

    That single vote in the results is mine :)

    To be honest Ajax is a waaaay outside chance but I'm just heading off to the stadium now to see them play Arsenal and we live in hope.

    But this is definitely the best Ajax team since the last CL winning side.

    Here we go....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I'd say ManUre will win it this year. I just have this feeling that they can still step it up a gear if they need to.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,508 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Have a horrible feeling it will be Milan vs. ManU in the final, and I can't decide who I despise more...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,586 ✭✭✭✭Dont be at yourself


    I'd love to see Ajax do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Barcelona - Milan final.
    Barce to win 4-0, revenge for that defeat when they last met in the final. :)

    Oh and well it cant be a French team, there's none left in the competiton.

    Er... Milan 1-0 Real?
    If Milan don't win it, I'd love to see Ajax win it.

    Oh and Makaveli? No fscking chance of ever burying the memory of that demolition :]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    We shall rise from the ashes of that dark day and crush all that stand in our path as we once again lift the Champions League. Hell it's been 11 years, now is as good a time as any.
    Milan will fall.
    And if they dont, well, they're the other team I want to see win it anyway. :)
