Damn drone...why u hating on Arsenal? You don't think they can beat United?
they already beat them in the Prem this year, and i like this sort of new look arsenal with Arshavin and Walcott causing trouble on the sides.

Personally i think and HOPE the final will be
Arsenal vs Barca

Like in 2006...the return of Henry and Hleb - Fabregas vs Barca, so many good stories and connections for that one

Edit : Forgot Arshavin is ineligible for CL play.

really not hating on arsenal, they're by far my favourite team among the remaining top 4 english teams
I just really dont think they have what it takes in a semi final against manchester united.. they're not consistent, dont have enough experience, they have several players likely to do ridiculously stupid stuff.. they're the english team that plays the by far most beautiful football, but its been a good while since CL was about just that.. defensively they're horrible compared to united, defense also happens to be the most important aspect in CL..

not like they dont have a chance, the 20% I give them is a decent shot. :p

I guess arshavin and eduardos return improves things for them but meh, still not enough.. id love to see them succeed tho

I agree with Drone actually

as much as i love arsenal, ManU is playing very well. they had a few hiccups now and then, but their defense is downright one of the most solid. Arsenal on the other hand has a weaaaak defense and their players still lack experience! although arsenal won 2-0 in the premier league (i still dont know how that happened haha) i doubt it'll happen again.

pitting ManU's offense against Arsenal's defense, and Arsenal's offense against ManU's defense.. i just dont see it working out for Arsenal. this saddens me T_T


nevertheless.. ARSENAL FIGHTING!

I hate the fact that my two favorite English teams (leaning a bit towards chelsea) are playing eachother. (I know it's impossible to be a true fan of Chelsea and pool, but I'm not a true premiership fan, it's all PZPN (polish) for me...CWKS)

In the end, I'll be happy if anyone other than MANUre wins.

Chelsea vs Liverpool is funny for me. I am kinda assuming that Chelsea will win however. Since the addition of the new coach Chelsea has shown great form in both the premiereship and champions league. I also can't wait till Man U knocks out Arsenal because they are just lame. I'm sure it will be a good match though because Arshevin has also given Arsenal quite the boost in their game (they won 4-0 last week, and weren't even scoring goals at all much before that).

I hope for a Barca vs Man U final which would be so awesome, although it will probably be an all English final again.. Man U vs Chelsea/Liverpool.

Quarter Finals (April 7th-8th, April 14th-15th, 2009)
1. Villarreal vs Arsenal
2. Manchester United vs Porto
3. Liverpool vs Chelsea
4. Barcelona vs Bayern


Im happy there's no real title contenders facing each other, makes the CL more enjoyable.

1. Arsenal
2. Man. U
3. Can't decide , really hard
4. Barcelona

Yeah they do, but they did draw Inter in the last round so it's kinda fair.
Chelsea vs Liverpool again.... lol

Drone this season there is no way Arsenal play the best football in the EPL.

ya ok I agree, this season they don't. but they are trying to hehe
and I do believe that when arsenal really makes their attack work, which isnt common at all this season, then they still play the most attractive football.

Barça will have to face the second game in Munich, and if they manage to pass, they'll have to face the semifinals second game in Anfield or Stamford Bridge... What a bad luck.
Taking the time to have simple fun everyday is a must for a happy life.

United score off a defensive mistake by Porto. Passed it straight back into Rooney and it was an easy one.
