How do people see these panning out?
Personally I can see Arsenal losing over two legs to Liverpool but beating them in the league. I just have a sneaking feeling that the CL may become a distraction for Liverpool, Chelsea and possibly even Man U and the gunners could sneak up on the rails
I expect Roma v Man U to be closer than expected; a 0-0 in Rome would not surprise me too much; Rome without Totti will be anxious not to concede an away goal and maybe try and sneak one in the return leg. I fully expect ronaldo to get a bit of a battering tonight and don't think the ref will be even-handed.
I think barca and chelsea will sail through;
this could be a bad week for fergie and tonight's game will set the tone; if they get a good result tonight they will be set up to ride it out, but a 0-0 or even a defeat tonight might make sunday at Middlesbro [against whom they don't have the greatest record] more tricky. A draw there and suddenly the pressure and momentum shifts.... I have a sneaky little feeling that chelsea are going to win the league despite playing some awful stuff from the watching point of view and that liverpool will forge their leagure position and get to the final of the CL again _________________ Geordie_R

Arsenal should be able to score at anfield while i'm not sure Liverpool will at the emirates. I'd love to see Liverpool get through but my head says Wenger's boys.
Hard to see Man Ure being stopped by anyone at the moment apart from in my dreams.
Schalke is obviously the dark horse but with Barca's form so poor at the moment the efficient Germans might prove to organised for them. They are defo worth a bet to win the home leg tonight at 11/5.
Chelsea could be very tight tonight in the first leg but i expect them to sneak a draw and go through with a boro like performance at home by 1 goal.
man u, schalke, draw for liverpool/arse and fenerbache.
overall out of the two legs:
man u, barca, arse and chelsea.
man u are in really good form at the min and will take some beating and roma will be lacking ideas without totti.
I think it will be a draw tomorrow between arsenal and liv and arse nal will win on away goals at anfield.
I cant see barca getting beat at the nou camp but with the injuries they have up front it might be schalke's for the taking in the 1st leg.
Fenerbache will be the suprise tomorrow and if they play like they did against sevilla then chelsea are in for a fright, as they didnt play well at all against midd and were less than convincing. The chelsea tie is the hardest one to call overall.

I've thought this ever since the draw was made. Fenerbahce have got this far playing a very 'in your face' style of football and as good as the chelsea players are, they don't like it up 'em.
Biggest chance of an upset out of all four ties IMHO. _________________ I was so upset that I cried all the way to the chip shop.
I have layed Barcelona to reach the final. 7/4 to get past Schalke and then Roma\Man Utd - I don't think so!! _________________ ROLL OF HONOUR
