If arsenal pick up a few injury's to key player's then they are fucked in the prem and in the champion's league. United really only have 2 real striker's. Saha is just poor now. Teves play's off the front man most of the time. Pick up a injury to rooney/teves united are out of it.

Thanks Taylor for that, saved me from searching it myself.
Here's my Predictions:
Semi finals: Roma vs Barcelona | Chelsea vs Liverpool.
Finals: Barcelona vs Liverpool.
Not too sure on United against Roma, it's just that Roma seem really good this season. And Chelsea vs Liverpool I'd say it would end up with another Penalty Shootout, but then again these are just my predictions and may be way off.
By the way anyone know much about Fenerbache ? I'll be looking forward to that Chelsea game.
I know they're a Turkish side with a former Brazilian Left Back, Roberto Carlos. I would match their team up with the likes of Zaragoza, Manchester City or Marseille. I honestly don't know much about the team as a whole, and I've only seen highlights from their matches. Rooting for them against Chelsea, though it's unlikely they'll actually win.
Teves or Tevez? lol?
I'm not looking forward to playing Roma, but I'd rather have it this way because we don't have to play an English team until the finals, which is something I was wanting to avoid. Going to Italy will be rough, but for god sake, after our clash last year, we end up in their group this year, and once more another Quarter-Final with them. Stop pitching us up with them!
I don't know how Barcalona can lose to Shalke, so if we win, we'll get one of the best Semi-Finals in history.

Tévez :)
That's why I don't want Roma, full stop. This year we have an upgraded team, so on paper we should win with not too much trouble. You're right, though, the fan's safety is more important. The majority of United Fan's reasons for not wanting Roma is because of the clash between the fans, home and away, not just because Roma are doing well in Football. I'd go there and be satisfied with a 1-0 defeat.
Also, thanks, NorulZ!

FALCON PAUNCH
No fucking way, if Rafa gets sacked (which would be stupidity) and replaced with Mourinho the next time the americans come over here they'll be found in the river Mersey.
As for the result, if we can continue our form and Arsenal can continue theirs... don't expect a dull 0-0 =/ remember anfield on a european night is immense
playing teams like schalke and fenerbache will be harder than people think - they've got nothing to lose at this stage with the giants, if they go into the match with the same mentality as Barnsley they'll be dangerous.
oh and lol @ our overrated crowd comment, yes in the premiership and FA cup it is fucking shite but I don't really see how you can fault our crowd in the CL =]

IMO
Whoever gets through out of liverpool and arsenal will get beaten by chelsea, and chelsea will finally make it to the finals
I expect Barca vs Utd in the semis with United/Ronaldo to choke in this semi final just like they did last year. They will score because Barca have been terrible defnesively but Barca will score more.
I expect Barcelona vs Chelsea in the final and Chelsea to scrape the win.

I think we'll win comfortably. Utd are a different team at home, probably Rooney/Ronaldo/Tevez scoring in a 2-0 win.
3-0 It is then... Comprehensive. As usual no Torres or Gerrard and Mascherano retardedly kept talking to the ref on a yellow card 4/5 times even when it had nothing to do with him. Idiot.
Hopefully a draw in the other match and we'll have the title within reach.

Unluck there...Chelsea really do get away with a lot of shit. Somehow Ashley Cole didn't get sent off against Tottenham and I remember when Arsenal drew 1-1 with you (Essien stunner) just before the goal, Hleb got upended by Ashley Cole. Coincidentally though, Wenger saw this from the other side of the pitch. And against Middlesbrough, there was a foul by Eboue before the corner you scored from.
Nani came on and did nothing but impress me, they say Anderson is the future, not Nani, but I beg to differ. He created a goal, and scored one within a matter of minutes, and he came on about 5 minutes before that. Top class. Well done, lad.
Liverpool have some re-grouping to do...
Chelsea suprised me, Drogbra gets them important goals all the time. I was hoping that they'd draw, but w/e...
Arsenal, you blew it!! "har har"

United fan born and bred here.
Seing as the thread's been brought back to life - Reminding everyone that in less than an hour where England will take on France in Paris.
Should be a good game with top names playing for England; Rio, Roony and Beckham. Not too sure who France have lined up, though, I doubt we'll see the likes of Henry...but Anelka would be satisfying enough.
Becks has his 100th cap for England tonight (seing as Capello has him starting). I wonder how he's doing lately, because I haven't seen him play in America much for LA Galaxy.
Rio's captain tonight over John Terry. Good job the to lad for his consistancy and ever-improving form, maturity standing out of his development into the new season has gotten him the role as "Skipper" ahead of tonight's friendly.
All I can say is...Come on England!!!
