Champions League quarter-final draw:

1 Arsenal v Liverpool
2 AS Roma v Man Utd
3 Schalke 04 v FC Barcelona
4 Fenerbahce v Chelsea

Champions League semi-final draw:

1 Arsenal/Liverpool v Fenerbahce/Chelsea
2 Schalke/Barcelona v AS Roma/Man Utd

I'm going for Arsenal v Chelsea and Barca v Man Utd for the semis.

I'd agree with that and Man U and Arsenal for the final in the Russia.

I think you'd be hard pushed to find anyone who would disagree with those predictions, with only Liverpool potentially causing an upset I'd say.

Roma are playing well at the moment but I think Manchester United have too much for them, on any day.

wait until paul sees that prediction.

cue: liverpool are the greatest team in europe, we never get the credit we deserve. we will win it with gerrard and torres etc etc etc.

I think Liverpool have a chance against Arsenal, but you can't say they're favourites. I'm sure someone can though!

Just to put a smile on Pauls face im gonna go for Pool v Chelsea in Semis and tbh if it is i wouldt be suprised if Pool made it 3 finals in 4 years

Oh no sorry, it wasn't the same title, but along the same lines hey Preach? Ahhh didems.

And we have every chance! Prove me wrong if you think i'm wide of the mark!
Again, i've never said 'we will win it', that is just you being girly. Shows your jeolousy really. Very bitchy for a scouser you lad!

Arsenal have to be favourites, I mean, you lot go on about how far ahead of us they are in the Premiership, it is a forgone conclusion is'nt it?

Or could Liverpool get lucky again and actually win this tie?

:hihi:

Liverpool v Chelsea semi again for me, and that is not me being biased. I just think Liverpool will beat Arsenal. For the record, I also think we would beat Chelsea in the Semi's!

If we ended up playing Utd in the final, that is where I feel our run would end!

According to R5 this afternoon nobody wanted to draw Liverpool including the reps from Barca

And the reason for that is because Liverpool are lucky and that whenever anyone plays them, the opposing side seems to turn into a second division team! All the experts and pundits and fans and radio stations and TV programmes and ex players and ex managers and current players and current managers, are all wrong in their opinions that Liverpool are the team to avoid and that they could actually go on to win the Champions League!

It's the people on this forum that you need to listen too, who constently, year after year, round after round, game after game, get it wrong about Liverpool, that you need to listen to my mate!

Mate you need to Chill out a bit,fair enuff we all stand up for our team but u push it a bit too far
Yes Pool have done better than the 3 above them in the League in Europe but in my opinion the reason for that is that Liverpool have been so far Behind the top 3 in the Premiership (and they have) that the Champions League Trophy is the next best thing
I aint a scouser and dont know many but i guarantee that if there was a survey most Pool fans would pick Premiership Trophy over Champions League
Fair enuff they have done brilliant in Europe but the bread and butter is Premiership ans they are a long way off it despite the money they have spent

4 English clubs in the last eight. If only there were some English players in their teams.

Chelsea have most English players in thier squad but usually come 2nd best, strange isn't it? ...Or is it.
Paul, I'm shocked you fear United. They are not that unbeatable. Chelsea have both United and Arsenal to play at home in Prem and that is when the Prem will be decided.
I know only a few on here are interested but I fancy Rangers to meet Bayern in final of UEFA Cup. Just hope Bolton haven't slipped up with fielding a "weak" side last week and then lose to Wigan on Sunday. They could end up very badly this season.

Every day of the week! And your point is?
This thread is about who will progress in the Champions League, not which team has performed the best in the Premiership. Nor is it about which trophy a Liverpool fan would rather win! The answer to that is obvious.
Fair enuff they have done brilliant in Europe but the bread and butter is Premiership ans they are a long way off it despite the money they have spent
Fair point but again, what is the relevence of this statement?
It seems to me that Liverpool's success in Europe niggles you and because of this you feel the need to have a dig at how they perform in domestic terms? Which has nothing to do with this thread, so why bring it up?

Paul, I'm shocked you fear United. They are not that unbeatable.
I don't fear them in a way that I think Liverpool can't match them in a one-off game mate! It's just that no-matter how well Liverpool play against United (played them off the park last two games at Anfield), they always seem to sneak that winning goal! It's becoming a trend that doesn't seem to be coming to an end. Maybe it will if they meet in the final, who knows. After all, this is the Champions League and not the Premiership and let's face it, Liverpool do know how to win in this competition, unlike the rest!

What , like:

Foster
Ferdinand
Neville
Scholes
Hargreaves
Carrick
Rooney

Cole

Pennant
Crouch

If i've missed any i'm sorry, they are just off the top of my head! You can see where i'm coming from though can't you? Surely?

You missed Bridge, SWP & Sidwell but I'll let you off.
3 red shirted teams and 1 blue. This year it will be the turn of the blues. ;)

Well of course it will, the final is in Moscow :suspect:
Is it any wonder Chelsea have been given a bye into the next round (the semi's)? :D

Jesus LFC you bite WAY too easy mate
and NO Liverpools success in Europe doesnt "niggle" me,to be honest i always want the English teams to do well because i am feircly Loyal to anything English,especially regarding Football.
And yes maybe some of my poins did stray from the origional thread,but thats what happens when you have a discussion,and correct me if im wrong but isnt this a discussion forum???

Looking very likely that prediction Briggy!!!

I just can't believe that Liverpool have again got themselves into a tremendous position to progress into the semi-finals of the Champions League, it's un-believable :D

Who would have guessed it hey, 3 semi's in 4 years :huh:

You're right. I should have said good English players

Toure. Oh dear oh dear. Gutted for the Gunners.

Hope the Scousers do Chelski in the Semi.

Man Utd v's Liverpool final would be nice.

Booooooooooooooooooo I hate Liverpool. I had a nice bet in play (thanks Adebayor...). It felt a bit weird cheering for another team, I was at it last week when the other leg was on. Oh well, eyes back on the relegation battle....

Great qtr final replay that was- think it was best Liverpool v Arsenal game in ages.

I'll second that!

We'll be seeing you in the final then Guddy :D

I can feel a, "Can't see Liverpool beating Chelsea", coming along :suspect:

But we all know that Chelsea are like the man with brewers droop, they just can't get past a semi :D

Think you're right- Chelsea did not play very well against Fenerbeche and were lucky to get through- I know results matter at the end of day, but on last nights play, if you compared Chelsea game with that of Liverpool's, I see Liverpool going through.

Arsenal started so strongly I thought Liverpool were in for a drubbing. Good work by Liverpool for keeping them under wraps though, not convinced it was a penalty but Arsenal had plenty of chances to kill the game. Wenger is bleating about poor decisions on the BBC site, but really it's poor finishing and failing to deal with Liverpool counters that cost them.

Liverpool v Chelsea for the 4th season running.... I expect Liverpool to win that one.

A shame for the neutral football purist. I watched the game on TV and found it a fascinating contrast between Arsenal's intelligent short passing game and Liverpool's long ball, but as one who values entertainment as highly as winning, the wrong team won. Hoofing it long for Crouch to knock down for Torres to shoot, might work occasionally but after a bit it's very dull to watch.
The only "big" team who play less exciting football than Liverpool is of course Chelsea, so get set for another tedious 2-legged semi which is guaranteed to be 0-0 in the first game and 1-0 due to a dodgy decision or penalty in the return leg!

Everyone is assuming a Barca v Man Utd semi but I have a sneaky feeling Shalke will do the business tonight.
Chelsea to finally overcome the Anfield Jinx as long as Avram doesn't change the shape too much. Can't figure that Belleti for Kalou substitution. that's the second time, I think, he's done that. Why doesn't he just start Essien in the middle? Mind you he won't have that problem in 1st leg as Essien is yellow carded so Malouda should start.
Bye the way, Frank, start packing your bags as you are not worth the pay rise you want!!

QUALITY:hihi::hihi::hihi:

Pool fans sucked the goals in last night,but was an amazing game
Best team won overall cos pool drew at emirates and Arsenal couldnt cope with atmosphere at Anfield
But what a run by Walcott for Arsenals 2nd,was pure quality
Sorry tho Paul,cant see any other winner than Man Utd or Barca,but i think u will beat Chelski,if only because they only have 1 keeper

But what a run by Walcott for Arsenals 2nd,was pure quality
Wasn't it just. It was worthy of winning the tie, so that says it all really. Up there with the very best runs that have resulted in a goal in my opinion!
Sorry tho Paul,cant see any other winner than Man Utd or Barca
I have to agree mate!
Not sure about Barca, I think Liverpool have the beating of the big foriegn teams, but Utd are a different kettle of fish and with the way they are playing atm, it would take a mammoth performance to triumph over them!

Would be one hell of a final though ;)

I think so too. Too many times these two have produced some really dull games and I was hoping Liverpool or Arsenal would meet Fenebeche. But with Torres on board, they have been more entertaining and lets hope they carry it on. I think Torres is worthy of the cost of ticket alone.(though many times Iget them for free as I happen to have a cousin in senior role at Heineken).

There have been reports of "Mammoths" in Siberia Paul, and Man Utd still have to come to the Bridge. ;)

You would be better off having a cousin in senior rank at Carlsberg, who are Liverpool's sponsors :D

Heineken :huh:

Never mind Paul, Liverpool might approach FIFA about drafting in a replacement manager on the grounds of " Diminished Responsibility" ;)

I just hope the Champions League winners come from the Barcelona v United semi. At least these two teams play football.....

Yeah, at least ManU does. I would love to see ManU with all their great one-touch football playing against Liverpool who just never give up and overcame so much.

Have you actually watched Barca this season? They've been very poor, and it's testament to the poor standard of La Liga at the moment that they have managed to keep in 3nd place. Real Madrid have been beaten 9 times in 2008, yet still have a 7 point lead over Villareal and Barca. They aren't the entertainers they were 2 years ago.

Great upset for Arsenal after Liverpool fired home 4 amazing goals but i must admit the penalty could be questioned after what happened to Arsenal but a great win which deserved to send Liverpool to the semis!
