Thought you might be, particularly being at home in both second legs... I'm just pleased that United and Barcelona are both in the other half of the draw to us. 3 games against Liverpool in a week

Liverpool in Europe are a completely different team to the one who play domestically mentally and tactically. I think they will beat Arsenal and Chelsea.

An interesting note: United play Chelsea away in between the two semi-final dates... Arsenal, meanwhile, are away to Derby. Not bad, for us (further: the weekend before the first legs: Arsenal v Reading, Blackburn v ManU, Everton v Chelsea). Liverpool have Fulham away followed by Brum away, but I expect that if they get through, they'll rest players for those games.

Chelsea should beat fenebeche, ensuring an english team in the final, nice one. Roma are no pushovers for united either.

No counting of chickens but I hate the thought of Chelses having to play Liverpool in the semis.
I fully expect Liverpool to beat Arsenal the the CL but lose to them in the league match.

According to Arsenal.com, the Arsenal-Liverpool first leg will be played on Wednesday 2 April, with the second leg on Tuesday 8 April. This is good news for me - firstly, it gives us maximum preparation time for the United match, and secondly, I'm seeing Elbow on the Wednesday of the 2nd leg matches Fenerbahce's coach hinted that their first leg vs. Chelsea will also be on the Wednesday.

There have been claims that the draw was fixed after somebody posted the draw on a forum at 10:30 - however UEFA have claimed that this was a "lucky guess".

I think anyone can beat anyone now... Would've thought Arsenal would win but you never know with Liverpool. Liverpool in Europe are a completely different team to the one who play domestically mentally and tactically. I think they will beat Arsenal and Chelsea. Echoed what I was going to say..Very close to call between Arsenal and Liverpool but as Liverpool have got home advantage in the 2nd leg i would make them slight favorites. I would definitely expect them to beat Chelsea in the semis, only in the Champions League would I back Liverpool against Chelsea. Chelsea are also the weakest of the four English teams and the English team I would like to win the least. Would also expect Man Utd to go through but Roma are in good form atm having been miles behind (12 pts) Inter in the league earlier in the season. On another note, Andy Townsend was saying on TalkSport yesterday afternoon that if two English teams were in the final it would make more sense to play the match here at Wembley rather than letting thousands of fans travel all the way to Moscow for the game. Of course it wouldn't happen as these venues are set in stone months in advance, but it does sound a good idea.
