I didn't mea it like Valencia are rubbish or anything like that, in fact I think they are a good side.

But considering some of the other teams they could have encountered they where pretty lucky (as always in the CL draws ) I think this is another Villareal dibacle in the making.

Well at least it won't ba as humiliating as losing to Villareal

I've noticed that too every dive was whistled pffffffffff

Sisoko was fouled many times without getting anything (if just his name ended with -nho )

The more I watch the more I hate those referees (uefa)!!!

han, since when Valencia is easy? Do you know their team?

They're one of the 8 best teams in Europe atm. Without a doubt.

exactly.

8 yellow cards for la Roma

He played a great game and he is in good shape lately. It helps if you watch the game before the conclusions about how he played!

It's so pleasing to see Barca lose

Never said they are a bad team, but if you look at the other possibilities Inter had in the draws Valencia where the easiest.

Of course they are a good side, but if you compare them Inter they don't match up man for man. ~Inter are supposedly in "amazing" form if that where the case they would have blown Valencia away, but that's not the case.

I didn't watch the entire match but the moments I was watching it all he did was lose the ball.

Being in great shape in domestic cup matches against Wycomb and Norwich isn't what is called getting back to his old self. I've watched every game he's played in the premiership so far and apart from one game (I don't remeber what team it was they where playing against, he scored a goal and set up another) he has been playing bad all season. His performances especially the ones leading up to the christmas schedule in England where horrific to say the least, the only thing he did was trip on the ball.

And I don't see how he is looking better then he did a few months ago, sure he is trying to put in more work but Sheva is not about workrate and trying to scrap around for balls in midfield, he is a forward that creates and scores goals and he isn't doing any of that, especially in the premiership

LIVERPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

Gila isn't about creating chances and workrate... He is there to put in goals and he is not doing that in the Serie A. Yet you always defend him. Now let's cut misha some slack.

yep and they should be in pool position to face us

This would be a dream come true .. For us fans, this will be a chance to rectify our selves from Istanbul !

They have a stronger team than in 2005 .. And they have key sub players .. But we will have the advantage of revenge on our minds .. Extra motivation to thrash the sh!t out of them !!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute ?! ... Do we play them next ?!

I don't know what moments did you watched but he was one of the best players on the field. He claimed the ball , made good passes and good movement and overall was dominant. You can't see something from a few moments.

Noobody said he was "getting back to his old self". I just said that he is in good shape lately (last 3-4 games) which were clearly shown tonight

i would love it if liverpool go on to play chelski and the blues destroy them... ah and milan chelsea final...ah that would be nice.

i'd rather have our chance to get revenge when we have a better team. sine then they have gotten better and we are way shittier. so if we end up losing, they that would lead those gay scousers to suggect they actually deserved to win in istanbul.

They'd kick our a_s easily.

Well... we'll see in the draw (early March). If we beat Celtic in San Siro of course.

I can't tell who's worse... Rijkaard or Mancini!?? Bad, bad, bad!

My predictions on who goes through; Barcelona, Valencia, Lyon, Chelsea.

I don't know why but I enjoyed it when Sheva scored! Sh!t, for the first time I feel he should still be here...

Bellamy's goal celebration was just priceless! That guy is just nuts!! I still can't believe he set up Riise for the second...

I can see you still believe in UEFA.
Anfield will be on fire to kick Barcelona out of Europe (I'll have champagne that night if it happens. )

Oh yeah. It was.

And Eto'o... it will be a hard match!!

Tsk tsl tsk .. Porto .. What r u talkin about man .. With Shevchenko we had the game for 84 mins in our hands. But it was 6 mins that drew the conclusion.

I think this team can win the competition. It's a ko .. just two legs, this team flurrishs in these types on competitions .. Give Milan Liverfool at Anfield and San Siro, and Milan will ripe them to shreds ..

Yeah ok we'll see

so what are the probable teams to face us?

We'll know in 2 weeks. Then will be a new draw from those 8.

its a time for celebrations! well at least around my neighborhoood. Everyone here is barca fan/ arsenal manu fan and i'm only one that is a milan fan but way to go liverpool and psv you have earned some more respect from the world!!!!!!!!!!

lol those fans dont seem to know too much cuz PSV and liverpool have won more european cups compared to arsenal,man u and barca combined. and on the domestic level we all know liverpool is the most succesful english club, and psv is the 2nd most successful dutch club. even tho i'm no fan of these teams (in fact i hate them) i think these kids should respect them, besides the fact that they have qualifed for CL knockout which should count for something.

shows you how this competition is unpredictable!!

hell, we could win CL


kidding

You should not

Let's celebrate but only in 2 weeks if FC Hype is really out of the CL.

Anyway, there's a CL thread. There's no reason for this one. Some mod merge this.

Actually I think la merda have much more chances to go throught than Barça!



+1

Gila is our top scorer this season, and I really can't see how Sheva and Gila can be compared, 1 of them was considered as one of the best strikers in Europe a couple of months ago, Gila is an up and coming Italian poacher. I defend Gila because I see that he tries hard, yes, but Sheva is not about that, he is a World Class striker, and just workrate is not what you expect of him.

I know I defend Gila and all, but he and Sheva are not on the same bracket.



Of course you can't judge an entire performance on just moments of the match I happened to be watching but still from what I've seen these past few weeks all he has improved is his work rate, nothing else.

And he looked good these past few weeks only in cup matches against teams from the second or even third division.



Yeah right.

This is the team that let in 12 goals in a matter of 2 weeks by Arsenal's reserves.

Liverpool got 2 soft goals last night because of Barca's sh!tty defence and Valdes. There where moments of the game when Barca where passing them off the pitch.

Liverpool's defence is suspect at best. If Eto'o was there he would have ripped them to shreads. No matter what you think of him he is still one of the best out there

Agreed.

It's not his fault that Chelsea played last matches against some weak teams but if you will watch the Porto game you will see what I'm talking about: a great performance.

I'll LMAO if there's only 1 italian team in the 1/4 finals... and that team is exactly Milan.
Wouldn't that be something... amazing?

There is a very good chance for that to happen

Ok I'll watch it, and I'll probably agree with you since I'm pretty sure you aren't making stuff up.

But I will also say that I have also watched him in a couple of premiership matches recently and he still looks the same, he's just running around a bit more.



Like always we are the pride of Italy in Europe, even when we are having one of the worst season's we've had in god knows how long.

Inter botched it up, just like I knew they would. Roma are seemingly facing an uphill battle, but all they need to go through is a score draw. But they probably won't be able to handle Lyon at home even if the Frenchies don't seem like they are in the best of form

From what my friends told me, Lyon nearly pulled off an upset.

From what my friends who watch La Liga tell me, Valencia is one among the teams(beside Real and Barca) you don't want to face at home in a must-win situation. So Inter will have to show something Moratti with all his Euros can't buy-character. It comes with the heritage, you see (I'm gonna shut up b4 I jinx my team)

Personally I want us to win the CL. Not for bragging rights or any sh!t. Hell, with our team, a move into the semis is a major achievement and will help us keep that top ranking in UEFA.

But that cup is the only way I'd ever feel at peace seeing Maldini leave. That man deserves it. He deserves every cup ever made, but then..

If anything, not getting the WC was a very cruel thing. This is the best possible send off.

yeah bzut i heard that their captain wont play @ home...

Albelda? Well Vieira and Cambiasso won't be available too.

Liverpool got very lucky that barcelona didn't score on their chances but it was still a great match. Good to see the mighty fall. But i think barca will still make it through. Here is my predictions: Milan, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter(i hope they lose but i'm thinking realistically), Man u(no doubt they will go through, the ref is with them all the way), lyon, madrid (capello is actually doing something for a change lol)

Lucky? Go to Nou Camp, hit 2, win being the best team on the pitch... and you call it luck. OK. Milan was lucky against Celtic too.

I don't think they where lucky, but in terms of the goals they scored, they where soft goals that were both gifted to them by the terrible Barca defence.

But at times Liverpool where getting passed off the park by Barca.

Also Barca miss Eto'o too much, Savialo is just too light weight and even managed to miss a 1 on 1.

Who will we play in the last eight ?! Cuz I really want Milan to play Liverpool at some point, but not a final

AC Milan v Celtic


Alright lads Celtic fan here. I'm just wondering will someone help me out. What's going on with Milan v Celtic will Celtic get into Milan's end of the ground?

Celtic fans are only given 4,500 while about 10,000 will go over. Most people are getting them for Milan end but one minute we hear oh the full stadium is open next its oh no only a certain amount allowed in.

Rossoneri7 your very confident? 2-2 Celtic though all the way.

the capacity will be 67,500 the third tier will be closed.
the celtic fans will be in the green section of the stadium and STRICTLY only 4,500 seats available!!
so seriously mate no ticket don't go!!
hope that helps
as for the score 3-0 milan

"so seriously mate no ticket don't go!!"

As in there will be trouble or we wont get in? Were getting ticket's its just we will be in Milan end. In the green section but not with Celtic.

Will we get in with Milan jerseys?

I don't think there will be any tickets available for you to get in even with Milan shirts on.

I have them.

Were going with a group, paid 1100Euro's. The ticket's are for The Green section but not with Celtic. One minute were hearing we can get in the next were told we wont be allowed because only Milan fans are allowed in.

Will we get into the green part with
(A) Celtic jersey
( Milan jersey

I paid a fortune for the trip and Im going I just dont no weather to go with Celtic jersey or not. There has been about 4,000 others who are going this way. We will all be in Milan end we dont really care about that because we doubt there will be trouble.

Well I can't say for sure... Good Luck ( to you, not your team )!!

Honestly we will beat ye

Goodluck

Has there been any news on how bad Nakamura's injury is? I heard that his hand was broken but nothing more definite.
