Negative karma for Evra, Xavi and Juninho tonight from me. For diving and waving imaginary yellow cards respectively.

Fantastic win for Utd..

They haven't hit form in the CL, yet have 5 wins out of 5. This was a very tricky group and initially i feared for Utd away from home..

But they've ended up coasting it and doing a professional job. Evra was man of the match imo. The new roberto carlos, with added bite

I think United/Arsenal/Inter/AC Milan/Juventus/Real Madrid/Barca/Liverpool/Chelsea are all in with a shot :P

If I had to narrow the list, I'd put it down to United/AC Milan/Real/Barca as the favorites. As always I think United are gona win it, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Milan break our hearts again. I think though, they'll get to the quarters either way I think, and after that, if United get a bit of luck on the injuries front, we could go all the way this year.

Bad list but I think Milan could sneak there way into the final again & possibly Sevilla.

Delighted...Vucinic scores twice...Panucci scores for the third game running and Giuly scores a lovely goal. I am really happy I thought we would come unstuck in the freezing cold, considering no Aquilani, Perotta or Totti.
They were wearing wooly sweaters under the jersey.

Final:

Inter Milan vs Roma

Is that what they were? I thought Guily and De Rossi were wearing scarves

PHB · 28-11-2007 12:07AM

Roma, lol

estebancambias · 28-11-2007 12:08AM

All the one.......

*runs away*

estebancambias · 28-11-2007 12:09AM

It really is not that far fetched...like there is a one in 16 chance they could get to the final.

MrJoeSoap · 28-11-2007 12:10AM

Roma will be found out again, they offered nothing at Old Trafford.

If only it were that simple, then every team would have the same odds at the bookies.

It's more far fetched that Robbie Keane to United.

Unearthly · 28-11-2007 12:12AM

Milan will knock out Man Utd again, they up their game 40,000% when they play Man Utd

_blank_ · 28-11-2007 12:14AM

Or maybe Sir Alex of Ferguson hasn't the tactical know how to beat them.

estebancambias · 28-11-2007 12:14AM

The midfield is insanely amazing. Ok the forward area is not that great..but still pretty decent, and defence is good.

Yeah he is clueless compared to half of Serie A

Hang on.

I didn't say anything about Serie A. WTF?

Man Utd didn't beat Milan last season.

Alex Ferguson was in charge. He has to shoulder at least some of the blame.

Feck sake, why are you so sensitive to a bit of well founded criticism?

lol calm down only having a bit of fun

Ferguson got it all wrong in Milan(he even admitted it himself iirc), but again he didn't have a type of player to stop Kaka, Liverpool had Mascherano in the final and didn't see him till he got subbed off

With our full defence, and Hargreaves it won't be a raping but I still think their midfield just has our midfield number. Gattuso for example I think is so motiviated and pumped up to stop Ronaldo

And also what are Juventus in with a shot for ?

Yes they did.

3-2 at Old Trafford.

A win for Man United, a defeat for Milan.

So, by virtue of scoring more goals then Milan, United beat Milan

And here was me thinking that the CL knockout stages were two-legged affairs.

Manchester United didn't beat Milan over two legs last season..

Alex Ferguson was in charge. He has to shoulder at least some of the blame.

Feck sake, why are you so sensitive to a bit of well founded criticism?

Manchester failed to succeed against Milan last year.

Yes, or no?

What are tonight's permutations?

Liverpool and Celtic NEED to win, do they? Or is a point enough for them to remain in contention?

I think if liverpool draw tonight, Besiktas beat Marseille and Liverpool beat Marseille away in 2 weeks then Pool go through. Big risk though, realistically it has to be win tonight.

Both need to win, I think Celtic need to win by 2.

Liverpool have to win by all accounts. If they play for a draw, then they are idiots, no other way around it.
