It was great watching Spurs get knocked down a peg or two. You're not there yet Spurs.

Edit: re post 3

Haha true, & it's a bit of a thrashing. Football never stops with the surprises.

I would still expect Liverpool to pull this one out. Brace from Stevie G, late goal from Bellamy.

Amazing goal from Ronaldo against Rayo Valacano, pure audacity! his 40th in the last 28 games, Real now 13 points ahead.

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

40 in 28? What the hell...that's crazy! If Mourinho leaves after this season he can claim to have conquered another league!

I think they can win the Champions League as well. Of course, they'll probably need to go through Barca to accomplish that.

I used to watch Spanish football every week but haven't seen any this year. With all the English teams looking jaded this year Barca will probably be the only team they would expect to struggle against. That would be a great 2 leg tie or final now with all that's at stake for Barca's season. I hope he does it and comes to England. He'd be unbearable/hilarious. Would love to see Abramovich's face if he went anywhere other than Chelsea.

I would expect AC Milan to factor in somehow. They drew with Barcelona in the group stage at the Camp Nou.

Darthphere · 02-26-2012, 11:22 AM

Liverpool back in this one. Expect some more goals.

Iceman · 02-26-2012, 11:37 AM

Should be an interesting last 15 mins now.

True, also beating Arsenal 4-0 in a knockout stage leg is no mean feat no matter the morale of the team at the time.

Dr Lee · 02-26-2012, 11:39 AM

Cardiff are fighting like tigers here.... no matter what the ultimate score is... they've done themselves proud so far....

Indeed. I wouldn't rule out Bayern either but they seem to be playing so poorly as of late.

Dr Lee · 02-26-2012, 11:55 AM

Liverpool force Cardiff into Extra time.... NOT the other way around

Darthphere · 02-26-2012, 11:59 AM

What do you guys think? A goal here or are we heading for penalties?

Dr Lee · 02-26-2012, 12:00 PM

I think it could be penalties TBH.....

Agreed on that, although I kind of expected they would. I thought Liverpool would win by a goal but Cardiff would push them all the way. It could go to penalties now though.

Darthphere · 02-26-2012, 12:05 PM

I hope this Kiss guy scores a goal just so we can "Kiss of Death" as a headline.

Darthphere · 02-26-2012, 12:10 PM

Anthony Gerrard is a double agent. Watch this space.
