I think Man Utd will get kocked out today, Roma are a very good/dangerous side and Man Utd will be missing some key players today.

Is Batman telling the truth or using reverse physicology?

psychology.

Which key players will you be missing?

Park, Neville, Vidic, Scholes and Louis Saha

Who's up front then? Rooney and who?

My choice -

---------- Van Der Sar
Brown --- Rio ---- Heinze --- Evra
--- Fletcher -- Carrick -- Giggs
- Ronaldo ---- Solskjaer ---- Rooney

SAF'S most likely choice -

---------- Van Der Sar
O'Shea --- Rio ---- Brown --- Heinze
Ronaldo -- Fletcher -- Carrick -- Giggs
--------- Solskjaer -- Rooney


I think we will get a result, just whether it's one good enough to take us through.

Almost the spine of the team.

The Spine of the team is Christiano Ronaldo

He is the leg of the team .. Vidic is the spine.

If the team is a man, Ronaldo is surely the penis?

Luis wrote:The Spine of the team is Christiano Ronaldo

You need the team to keep you in the game

e.g. 0-0

then players like Ronaldo or Rooney to score a goal

then the team again to win the game

e.g. 1-0

:scratch:

You hate Ronaldo, right ?

No, I think he's the best player in the world, my penis analagy meant that a man is nothing without his penis i.e United are nothing without Ronaldo.

I don't want to call Manchester United a one man team, but i can understand what you are saying..

No a one man team is Mikel Arteta

I fear for United now they are missing Scholes. Fletcher just isnt good enough for a game like this,

would have been better if Park were fit - he coulve played on right, ronnie on left and carrick and giggs in centre

@ TRWP

Park is a huge miss, has been a key player for the last couple of games he has played.

Chelsea need to go and attack but at the same time be sensible depending on how the game pans out and if Valencia are couterattacking, and you only have Mikel in your midfield, well you're toast.

As far as MU go, write them off at your lesiure, SAF a well experienced manager, all they need to do is score one and keep it tight, he has much more experience than his opposite number in the CL, not to mention him winning the thing.

As good as Roma played last week, it was against 10 Men, and if Totti plays they will be lethal on the attack, but Totti is no Ruud V Nistlerooy ; Not an out and out striker.

Should be an open game, where the Mancs what the goal and Roma on the counter, but who knows.

Forza Roma!

Hopefully Roma get a goal before half-time. Even if it's 1-1 going into half-time, I'll be confident.

I have a really good feeling about today's game. I can see a win for Roma.

I also hope Valencia finish the job at home. That'll be tough, but a 0-0 would suit them just fine.

I can see that game ending 2-1 in Valencia's favour.

If Both English teams get through tonight it will be remarkable that's for sure

I don't see my goal in it my friend, a 0-0, just like against Inter is what i think will happen.

Forza Roma!

Is Tonetto still injured?

Some stat out there that whenever MU have lost the first leg at the knockout stage,they've always gone out...

Whatever people say about English football, it is a remarkable achievement.

Having 3 out of 4 teams in the semi's English is indeed a fantastic achievement, something that Italy and Spain are very far away from IMO
