All our 4 teams progressed through to the quarter finals of the Champions League along with Barcelona,Villareal,Porto and Bayern Munich.
The most impressive result was Liverpools 4-0 demolition of Real Madrid (5-0) on aggregate.
Juventus 2 Chelsea 2 (2-3)
Man Utd 2 Inter Milan 0 (2-0)
Roma 1 Arsenal 0 (1-1...6-7 on penalties).

I think our teams will be hoping for a tie against either Porto or Villareal but you could get another Chelsea v Liverpool which seems to happen most seasons ! :D

Well,there you go....

Villarreal v Arsenal
Man Utd v Porto
Bayern Munich v Barcelona
Chelsea v Liverpool.

If things go to plan you could have three English teams in the semi-finals again.I think Barcelona will be a bit wary of Bayern,as well.

I'm more annoyed at Uniteds easy route to the final than our draw.
After all we've already beat you home and away this season quite comfortably.

I'm already thinking about the next round to be honest, this ones a given. :neener:

Just a shame Liverpool couldnt do the same to Stoke,Hull,West Ham,Fulham,Middlesborough,Everton,Wigan and Man City or youd be well set for the title :oops:
Dropped points at home,particularily,have cost you.

I think we've missed Torres to much. After all, you saw what he did to Utd when we absolutely thrashed them.

Yep,agree with you about Torres and also Gerrard as well.
Also I found it strange that Benitez got rid of Keane without an adequate replacement coming in.
I think youve beaten Chelsea twice as well as United havent you ?
But all those draws against lowly teams,particularily Stoke and Hull and losing to Middlesborough.
If youd have won those you would have been in pole position for the title.
Maybe now Benitez has signed a new contract he'll try to bring some strength in depth to the squad for next season.

not really, just find it amazing that after bringing in 40 odd players, he needs to 'bring some strength' in depth to the squad next season :shock:

this season isn't even over yet, . . . . . . by a long chalk!!!! :D
