Champions League Last 16

ITT-Pat

Lyon -v- Man. Utd: Man Utd to qualify @ 2/5

Fenerbache -v- Seville: Seville to qualify @ 2/5

*******kos -v- Chelsea: Chelsea to qualify @ 2/9

Roma -v- Real Madrid: Real Madrid to qualify @ 4/7


In an accumulator this works out at a shade over 11/4, surely this is a steal......................

semibluff

i like the look of it pat

Roma wont be a walk over though, and will be hard to beat at home. Also Fenerbache came through a tough group, and travelling to turkey is still as much of a trip to hell as ever -

But yeh - looks good

Bubs101

Roma vs. Real is by no means a done deal. Have a feeling that Roma will cruise at home so I'd lash in Barca instead

IrishMike

Inclined to avoid the roma game myself bubs.
Gonna lump on liverpool to beat inter milan .......... thats a joke btw

Keano

Lay Liverpool so IrishMike???

semibluff

yeh, barca a cert

......................

Was looking at this earlier today and don't really fancy any of them to be so clearcut, Roma have only lost one home game this season, chelsea normally manage to balls up something at this stage of the CL, Fenerbache are unpredictable and if city can beat utd so can lyon. Think i'd need more than 11/4 on that quad.

Avoid like the plague if you ask me.
Liverpool are so unpredictable at the moment, they could win this game easily,
lose by 3 goals or anything in between.
My heart says liverpool but my money wont be going on them while rafa is still the manager.

I think Inter should probably win this competition, it means more to them than anyone else. I was working in Milan when AC won the Champions League and despite the fact that Inter won the league for the first time in years nobody cared so ever since then they've talked about nothing but winning this. They've already won their league so they have very little to worry about there and all their fans want is this. I'm hoping they lose tommorow so I can get a good price on them winning the competition.

Also, if both of AC's keepers are out it might be worth looking at Gunners -1

Means zip what it means to them.
It means more to Bayern and Real than anyone else IMHO and they wont win it either
Will be an English team this year if you ask me and any of the 4 of them
have a strong case as to why it should be them.
Inter bottle it year after year in Europe and i cant see this year being different
In saying that they may have enough to beat Liverpool
This is the hardest of all the ties to predict
Im going for Liverpool mainly cause im a blinkered idiot
DONT BACK THEM THOUGH

So few games might as well have it in this thread. There's only four going ahead right of this moment.

Southampton v Plymouth
Wolves v Scunthorpe
Brighton v Cheltenham
Huddersfield v Millwall

Wolves are 8/11 with the bookies. I think their purposely laying it and i think it might be a mistake. Bad weather aside, Scunthorpe are not very good and Wolves have better quality than the league table would appear to say they do. Scunthorpe struggle for goals away. So if it survives i'll be going with this bet. Probably a 1-0 scoreline is the most likely.

have a tenner on a liverpool 2-0 win @ 11-1. :o

Collie D

I've done the following with Ladbrokes, best prices for this particular treble.

Inter Milan @ 2/1

Liverpool are just so unpredictable in domestic competition (well actually you could probably predict that they won't win and be right half of the time) but their European form is completely different. Would be just like them to win tonight but I just can't say no to 2/1 about Inter. Could be a cracking price.

*******cos to draw with Chelsea @ 11/5

Chelsea are leaving Terry, Lampard and Anelka on the bench tonight, looks like Grant is focussing on Carling Cup Final on Sunday :rolleyes: *******cos have a pretty decent home record in this competition and the recent snow in Athens won't help either team so draw looks likely, a result that would do nicely for Chelsea who will surely destroy them at the Bridge

Schalke @ 11/10
Just can't see Porto getting anything out of this game. This sould be the most straightforward of my selections. Now, I've said that watchthe other two come up trumps and Porto stuffing the Germans

€15 treble on the above for return of €302.40

m.j.w

Thinking about lumping on liverpool at evens with inter down to 10 men. They are so un predictable tho.

Well done, lads. Knew my bet was poxed when Matterazzi walked but thought then it was a nailed on 0-0. Glad I am finally starting to learn some gambling discipline.

nice one dots

IrishMike

Fantastic stuff dots.
Super bet, cant imagine too many people had the same thinking as you though.

barca man u double .....2nite guys...milan i think will put up a great fight to the guns

Kinda32

Not sure about Man U tonight.. maybe thats my apprehension being a fan. Our away record in Europe over the last few years is nothing to be proud of, and Lyon are no bad side. I think all 3 games involving British teams tonight are tough to call. Am just going to do a double of under 2.5 goals in both Man U/Celtic games myself. Not sure of the prices as PP's site seems to be down at the minute but i'm sure the double should be around 2/1. Not great i know, but more of a watching brief for me tonight besides that one bet..

Cant see the Celtic game being unders to be honest.
Can see it being 2-1 or even 3-1 with celtic scoring from a set piece

That would be some result for Celtic.. Away teams are going to be very tight at this stage and i'd say Barca are only too aware of the Parkhead atmosphere imo.. On another note, am wondering if anyone has an opinion on the non-british champs league game tonight, Fenerbahce and Sevilla?? Another tight game perhaps??

Bubs101

Anyone thinking of arsenal -1 at around 3-1

Very much so bubs, Milan with a third choice goalie and an old and slow
backline against probably the slickest attacking team in Europe at the moment.
Im think 2-0 to be honest

And a slightly smaller away double with Man U and Sevilla @ 5.75

Good luck all

m.j.w

Done a 50 euro double on Man Utd and Arsenal, returns around 210. Was not brave enough to do arsenal -1

Bubs101

Well, you can't do -1 on betfair so I've gone for 4 on 3-1 Arsenal in an optimistic "because I'm watching the game" bet and this optimistic treble

1 Celtic v Barcelona (Backing The Draw @ 3.25)
2 Fenerbahce v Sevilla (Backing The Draw @ 3.2)
3 Arsenal v AC Milan (Backing Arsenal @ 1.96)

Celtic 2-1 up after 38 mins, thats overs more than covered
What a first half scoreline, the away goal will haunt them though
Still 0-0 on Arsenal, looking like a 1-0 rather than the 2 goal win im hoping for!

Ouch, off the crossbar in the 93rd minute.

Oh well, I'm off to Milan for the away leg so at least it'll be an exciting match!
