I didn't research them I watched all of the games anyway, but the atmosphere should be better than game anyway.
I'm not saying that Chelsea are supposed to be fancy (though neither are Barca), but there should be at least some sort of entertainment from a team that costs over 100mil+

I know and I do agree with you about that, they just prefer getting the results first and the performance a distant second. It would be a win for football in general if United do win it since they have at times just been out of this World.

I can't see them not winning it but I just don't want to jinx it.

I know what you mean with Chelsea ...though it will change if Rijkaard goes to them
I agree with the Man Utd comment, albeit I think Man Utd play far much better when he's at his best they would still have enough fire power and a strong back four to beat any team left if he wasn't at his best.

The depth that United in their have is one of their biggest strengths, of course they have key players like in Ronaldo and Rooney but the players they have on the bench are arguably of a better quality than the rest of the top 4.

Has there been talk of Rijkaard going over to Chelsea? That would be interesting to see.

I've heard Rijkaard's going to Chelsea and Jose Mourinho's going to AC Milan.

Matchdays coming up this week! I'll be able to see all of Liverpool v. Chelsea, but I have class during the first half of Barcelona v. Manchester United. Maybe I can look up the live scores in class.

Carlos Tevez is priceless in the dying minutes of a match. Saving us a point yesterday against Blackburn Rovers is a prime example.

i haven't really payed much attention to this years champions league as i am a newcastle fan and we never make it into the champions league...anyway i think that liverpool will win as they have Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard who link up Extremely well as they proved in the second leg against Arsnel. i onlly want Liverpool to win because they are kind of the underdogs i mean look at the other teams who are left Chelsea, Manchester United and Barcelona

Normally I would consider Liverpool to be the underdogs in that group of clubs, too, but in Bizarro Europe World I think they're always expected to win. They just always come up big in European competition somehow. Maybe it's Rafael Benitez's tactics or something.
