    Referee was a stinker, was he trying to put the ref/linesman of Man U/Celtic to shame?

    Also have they stolen another of our songs?* Liverpool fans were singing something that sounded suspiciously like 'The Holy Goalie' a few times :rolleyes:

    *inb4 debate about who had what songs first.

    Group A: Chelsea draw in Bordeaux, so it looks like Roma may well top that group.

    Group B: Inter have qualified. Anorthosis Famagusta conceded a late goal so it'll go down to the last game between them & Panathinaikos for the other qualifying position.

    Group C: Barcelona beat Sporting 5-2 :97: to qualify as winners, Sporting runners ups.

    Group D: Liverpool & Athletico both won to seal qualification. They're level on points going into the last round of games.

    Group E: Man Utd & Villareal have both qualified. They're currently level on points.

    Group F: Lyon & Bayern have both qualified. They're currently on level points.

    Group G: A late goal for Arsenal sealed qualification, Porto have also qualified. Porto must win at home in the last round of games at home to Arsenal to top the group.

    Group H: Juve & Real Madrid have both qualified. Juve lead Real by two points going into the last round of games.

    Devestating, 2-1 to Chelsea. Great passes by Mikel and Cole, followed by a decent but lucky finish from Drogba.

    I hate Chelsea with a passion. Arrogant *. It's probably better that they've went through though, it offers more exciting games in the latter rounds, I suppose.

    Chelsea fans who became fans post-2005 are the worst.

    Barca lost 3-2 to Shaktar but then again 8 of Barcas players were under 21. Sylvinho played too and scored a cracker of a goal. That Pedro guy for Barca is one to watch, he made the defence look stupid 2/3 of the time.

    Liverpools second was a topper too (25 yarder top corner). Chelsea can go * themselves. I would have laughed my * off if they got dumped into the UEFA Cup. Cluj goal was class and their goalie is worth sniffing about I must say should we ever need a replacement for Boruc. Some of the stops he made were world class.

    I fancy Inter Milan to knock out Man Utd, think Man Utd will follow Barca, Liverpool, Milan and Porto as champions knocked out at the last 16 stage.

    I reckon Inter might win 1-0 tomorrow, then I reckon United will do the business at OT.

    It's quite clear which team has the more match-winners and which team has the more talented players.

    If Man Utd had Vidic I'd expect them to go through but without him and possibly Evans I think Inter will win by a couple of goals tomorrow and then just do enough at Old Trafford.

    Toni again. Sporting 0-5 Bayern. TBH I´m surprised. Didn´t expect them to score that many goals and win easily

    Well, I think it´s safe to say that Bayern is through to the quarters
