predictions:

ManU, Barca, Arsenal and Chelsea to go through.

ManU to beat Barca, Chelsea to beat Arsenal

ManU to beat Chelsea in final

(i should emphasize that the only United game i'm confident about is Chelsea in the final and that might not even happen, if Arsenal or Liverpool have their say)

I'd say:

Arsenal to beat Liverpool; Fenerbahce to beat Chelsea; Barcelona to beat Schalke; Roma to beat Man United.

Arsenal to beat Fenerbahce; Roma to beat Barcelona.

Roma to beat Arsenal.


I'd be reasonably pleased with that too, as my expectations of our match aren't very high. Seeing Chelsea and United go out in the first round also, as well as heartbreak for Arsenal in the final, would sooth the fact that we'd of gone out.

Putrum or Marios: Would you please start the Barcelona - Schalke thread?
I am afraid if I start it, I would jinx us. Very superstitious sometimes, sorry.

Pfffff
