I dont know why Redknapp isnt the coach of England. Surely he is as good as any coach in the world. Look at his record and hos resources.

FTR: If the USA had to field a team of players who had American grandparents we would be on the level of Guatemala.

Home field advantage in a world cup final was awful to me back when I was -8 and -12. sadface.

First leg of the Champions League First Knockout Round have been completed :

Schalke 1 - 0 Porto
Roma 2 - 1 Real Madrid
Olympiacos 0 - 0 Chelsea
Liverpool 2 - 0 Internazionale
Celtic 2 - 3 Barcelona
Lyon 1 - 1 Manchester United
Fenerbahce 3 - 2 Sevilla
Arsenal 0 - 0 A.C. Milan

No total surprises with only one away team getting a victory, i'd say Man Utd, Milan, Chelsea and Barcelona are definitely through. Liverpool should make it, with Madrid and Sevilla, and flip a coin for Porto and Schalke.

Thoughts anyone?

Figures Arsenal drew the holders. At least they held them to a draw at home, but they've gotta win at Milan next time

A 1-1 or higher draw will see them through.

Ah yes, the ever present road goal!

lewis31lewis52 · 02-21-2008, 03:16 PM

Wow, for some reason I figured they were on the road the first match.

I really hope they advance.

Manchester United got screwed out of the FA Cup Semifinals

Cooleyvol · 03-08-2008, 12:55 PM

Probably better for United that they don't have to worry about the FA right now. Champions League and BPL are more important at this time, IMO.

Cooleyvol · 03-08-2008, 02:16 PM

Barnsley is mere minutes away from dismissing Chelsea. Although Chelsea is putting considerable pressure on the Barnsley goal late.

Cooleyvol · 03-08-2008, 02:24 PM

Barnsley follows up beating Liverpool at Anfield by beating Chelsea to move to the semi-finals.

Tony M · 03-08-2008, 04:27 PM

Now that's what I call a good FA Cup competition this year...

Portsmouth could be the only Premiership team left in it by the end of tomorrow...

The irony would be Cardiff getting through to a final at Wembley when a couple of years ago they'd have just gone down the road and had massive home advantage.

Won nothing, no European experience to talk of apart from once years ago, still on bail on corruption charges, does pick players up on the cheap but most are quality free agents so hardly rocket science. Wouldn't put him anywhere near the best in the world.

Players imo should only play for the country they were born in.

ukhotstove · 03-09-2008, 05:20 AM

Chelsea and Man Utd going out were massive blows for both clubs, you could tell how important it was by the teams they fielded both teams could easily end up winning nothing so the FA Cup was a big chance of silverware.

ukhotstove · 03-09-2008, 11:02 AM

Portsmouth, Cardiff City, Barnsley, Bristol Rovers/WBA FA Cup semi final line up, great for football.
