UEFA predictions anyone?

UEFA Champions League
Barcelona v Chelsea S/F 1ST LEG...1-0 to Barcelona setting up a great 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge. Barcelona to progress...just.
Manchester United v Arsenal S/F 1ST LEG...United to win by the odd goal 2-1. Anything can happen in the return leg. Tough to call without being biased.

UEFA Cup
Werder Bremen v. Hamburg S/F 1ST LEG...home advantage goes to Bremen with Hamburg reversing the tie on the return.
Dynamo Kiev v. Shakhtar Donetsk S/F 1ST LEG...tough Ukrainian tie. This will be hard to call, but Dynamo should have the edge.

to be honest I think the final will be Barca - Arsenal

I really don't like the football Utd is showing in the last couple of months, and I see Arsenal going through with a draw at OT and a narrow win at home.
and Barca is just phenomenal right now and they will probably go all the way

I think Arsenal will beat Man U and not's me being my usual disparaging self. The quest for trophies will get to Man U I think whereas Arsenal have almost certainly got 4th so they can go for the game a little more knowing that the prem is out of reach. barcelona V Arsenal in the final.

Gotta say I fancy Arsenal's chances of making the final too. Man U for the FA Cup, and I think they'll grab the league title as well, but I think Europe will turn out to be too tall an order for them.

As for the other semi, I've got a feeling Chelsea are gonna edge past Barca.

Whatever happens, it's gonna be a great bunch of games for neutrals like my good self.

I don't think Arsenal stand a hope in hell

They're far too one dimensional & lightweight to be a serious threat. I think the only reason they've got as far as they have is because they've had a pretty easy route so far.

Villarreal , Roma & Porto are about the only competition they've come up against so far. Hardly world beating sides. Villarreal are nowhere near the team they were 3 or 4 years ago. Porto have been going downhill ever since the special one left them & Roma's record in Europe is on a par with England in a world cup or euro championship.

And have you seen their fixture list?

They have Chelsea in the FA cup tomorrow
Liverpool in the league on Tuesday
The following week they have Man Utd in the CL semi
The return leg with Man Utd again the following week , with Boro & Portsmouth in the league between those.
5 days later Chelsea in the league then 6 days after that Man Utd in the league as well.
And the CL final is 3 days after they play Stoke , and it's no secret how they play.

And then after all that the FA cup is 4 days after the CL final.

With their paper thin squad I don't think they stand a chance of winning anything.

Man U and Chelsea in the final again methinks.
