Congrats Fady, but it's a pity you will face Barça on then ext round.

Thanks Wrath, facing Barca for me though will be like you watching Real Madrid vs Real Madrid, it will be so crazy. If we face either Barca, Bayern, or Moudrid we are done. Otherwise we will be done in the round after it :p

Alas, what I want and what will happen are two entirely different things :(

UEFA want a Madrid/Barca final so they'll try and keep them apart I'm sure. Chelsea and Madrid has many subplots so that'll be the pick of the draw, and then the other three big teams will push through after difficult away games.

Congrats ;) Even though Chelsea kinda screwed with our whole season now

It would an indescribable feeling. I'd rather someone else knock either them of out than either of them. Realistically, I can't see Chelsea making it to the semis...as for Barca, I'd go nuts with happiness if they manage to beat Madrid or Bayern to the trophy. Madrid is too good though, and Bayern are monstrous. It'll be insane.

Madrid is too good for who? You know Messi plays for Barca right?
Unless I was confused and you meant Madrid are too good for Chelsea, in that case, I would agree.
Again like I said though, it's CL. Even bad teams like Inter can beat Barca so anything can happen. Form, Injuries, Suspensions, Refereeing, Away goals rule, Cheating(look at the last few pages of GIFs lol) all come into play and can change the whole outcome.

edit:
Barca to vs Chelsea in the next round and kick ass again.
Then get some revenge for La Liga and beat Madrid in the Semis
Then Beat Milan in the final 4-0 as payback for Milan beating the dream team in the '94 CL final.
I wish

Noo don't watch PSV. It will be a total humiliation again!! Well perhaps not now because of Cocu..but still =P
 
Quite a few! Athletic Bilbao vs Manchester United, Manchester City vs Sporting Lisbon,

Athletic - United will be interesting if United manage to get an early goal. City - Sporting too possibly, but I expect City to smash Sporting to be honest.

Athletic de Bilbao - Manchester United

Manchester City - Sporting Lisbon

Ah yes I just got FSC and GOLtv and I have these bad boys DVRed. Looking forward to getting home and watching. Thanks for the info fellas.
 
Ajax beat Liverpool 6-0 in the NextGen series!? Is that true? Damn...and Liverpool have a good youth team. Gave ours a good game in the FA Youth Cup last year.

It was pretty even until about half time. We missed a penalty at 0-1 and some sitters right after. Second half belonged to Ajax. Those kids are destined for great things.

MUFC v Chelsea FAYC semi-final first leg is televised on ITV4 at 7pm Friday. Should be streamed, too.

Little chance to see them in Ajax' first team. Most of them will fail at EPL-clubs who buy talents in huge numbers, hoping one or two will shine in their first teams. Fuckers.

How long have you been playing? The first hour or two are a bit too on rails but it gets better. There's a few really shitty things to it though, especially bioware trying to humanize my bad ass Shepard who doesn't give a shit about anyone.

I was a bit puzzled by that. I know FCN declined the offer but FCM and BIF are both known to have better academies. We probably just a have bad rep compared to Copenhagen.

You probably don't have the money for the plane tickets. We got our academies heavily upgraded a few years ago but it will obviously take some years to bear fruit... Not sure how they plan on getting results when they sell players like Zohore to Italy though.

Will watch.

Mats Daehli is the midfield prospect for us. Jack Barmby is a clever striker, too.

Understandably, neither are physically there yet, but you would want to close them down. Daehli in particular will want to eat an awful lot in the coming couple of years.

Official: Abidal will have to undergo a liver transplantation in the coming weeks


This makes me a sad panda. Abidal is such a good guy and again he goes to surgery...

Back along with D.Villa to win UCL final?

I thought Abidal was fine?? Get well soon Abi!

I'd give him Busquets' liver.

Wooo, Diablo 3 finally got a release date!

I'm obviously not taking about the entire youth team, but they have 5-6 players that could make it through and perhaps go on to play in bigger clubs later on. Klaassen, Fischer, de Sa, goalie and one of the sub which I can't remember the name of.

You announce that, and don't share a link!?!?

Good luck to Abidal. Hope he can recover.

Still can't believe Chelsea are through. Napoli manager must be getting a lot of stick.
