Not really, any of the teams in CL now can beat barca in my opinion, they just have to play better than them and arsenal on a good day can (and thts coming from a Manchester United supporter so cant say its bais)

Barca aren't even amazing this year. Don't get me wrong they are still a great side and still probably the best in the world but they're nowhere near as good as last year and they can be beaten like the post above said by any side in the CL left. I think that we'll manage a win in 1 leg, and a loss in the other and Barca will go through on away goals, just a feeling but I still think that we can win.

Berbatov, Owen and Diouf have hardly shined.

Sometimes we lack it but we didn't have Rooney on Saturday and we managed to score 4 past Bolton. I think it would be fair to say we lack consistent flair in parts of midfield and sometimes in strike.

Yeah, Lyon pretty much have the same team we beat last year apart from Lyon not having Benzema - They beat Real Madrid yes, but they are still gelling as a team. I'm confident if we play them - It shouldn't be a tough task in beating them.

Inter Milan have a top 2 manager in the world and have a good team i think they will be in the final with United but then again anything can happen because real were knocked out my lyon ;)! Would like a repeat final though if im honest.

Hmm yea i agree..

I recon we will go out on away goals to Barca, and then Inter will beat Barca so yeah, a United - Inter final with Inter winning and Jose will leave at the end of all that to go to City, Liverpool, or Real Madrid.

I'm not underestimating them but i don't think anyone - espesh them, should get carried away thinking they can beat anyone. They beat a Real Madrid team who are struggling to gel together, but then again, they are World class footballers, it shouldn't be that hard for them to know which thier teammates have different attributes.

With Jose leaving, i cant see him leaving and going to City or anyone else. He has always insisted that he wants the Job at United. LOl manager of City - It would be a down from Inter and Chelsea. :P

I can't see Fergie retiring... i think he would want to win at least 5 European cups be on par with Liverpool and same with the League - who knows, but i think Fergie will be here for a few more years for sure.

I agree, Barca isn't a team that cannot be beaten, a few weeks ago they put out a really good side and they got beaten, they've draw and lost a few more other games of this season. I think if you get the tactics right and you go into the game with a game/match plan you can beat them.

In thier group stages they were struggling, they still put out their strongest team. I don't know if the players were cocky and thought it would be eaiser getting through the group stages but seriously, Barca are a great side but not that great that they cannot be beaten.

Man City now isn't too dissimilar to when he took over Chelsea.

Yeah I was gona say. He wanted to go to Liverpool because of the history, and thought that Chelsea were just going to be an experiment but then Rafa got hired at Liverpool and Roman said that he will commit to Chelsea and offered Mourinho lots of money and he went to Chelsea. It's pretty much the exact same situation this time, but with City and United.

Oh and forget Lyon, Bordeaux are the team to watch ;)

I agree but Man City isn't as stable as Chelsea. They want to achieve everything in one season and if that manager don't, they will sack him.

Look at Sparky for example, wasn't doing great domestically but was doing great in the League. City are not doing to bad in the League now but i think it was unfair to Mark.

They only gave him a few months which was ridiculous considering the position they was in.. in the league.


Chelsea's no different tbh, Avarm Grant did a terrific job when he taken over from Jose. Roman didn't see this and he wanted his own way. Since then, Chelsea haven't won anything "spectacular"

Maybe Jose wants to be apart of something stable. At United, your guaranteed to get a good chance and Jose likes the lavish, spicy football life, i think United would be the place to get that compared to the likes of City, Liverpool ect. United suits his personality.

Maybe Barca and Real Madid would probably been the other two.

Yeah because one bad season erases all of our history doesn't it

Anyway I thought you said it was all Rafa's fault? Make up your mind.

Ribery to show the world he's overrated.
