    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Reina
    Carra-Skrtel-Hyypia-Aurelio
    Masch--Alonso
    Kuyt----Gerrard----Babel
    Torres

    Subs: Itandje Riise Voronin Benayoun Crouch Arbeloa Lucas

    No great surprises here.

    Mike.

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

    Come on the gunners!!

    2-0!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,825 ✭✭✭Charlie


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

    Schalke
    I reckon this will be a 0-0

    If there is a winner, Liverpool with a Torres goal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭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:D:pac:


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,741 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


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


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,741 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    park scholes carrick are defensive midfielders apparently . . .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,447 ✭✭✭T-b0n3

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


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

    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.
