A disjointed Real Madrid team going through their worst period of football ever, managerless as well or some coach covering, thats impressive.

A Juventus team full of WORLD CLASS players all sh*tt*ng themselves to be banned or relegated, which happened.

And Villareal team who have ONE good player and couldnt have scored if there was no keeper. Just showing the Champions league is pot luck.

The only team with a hard run in was Milan and they were going through the same thing as Juve, yet they WERE a good team.

Barca the best team last year bar none had it harder beating Milan, Chelski.

You can name names but when it comes down to the nitty gritty the teams the gunners played last year were crap at best.

I’m choking on my water, Ahmed. There was no reason for you to defend Arsenal there. You all right man, delirious with fever or anything?

Steve, shut up you idiot.

You pretend to be a connoisseur of football, and in the know of European football yet you spout crap.

Read the article and understand the joke behind each phrase. Ahmed obviously supports united so is making out it would be nice to have an easy ride in, like the gunners did until the final where they got found out.

heh…

that just makes you sound like an idiot.

You said:

If the big teams play each other in the last 16 whats gonna happen later on?

I said, there are few ‘non-big’ teams in the second round.

And you come along and you take out Roma and Valencia as well.

We can play this game all day, but really, you’re picking a non-existent argument. Big teams left, so they’re bound to be drawn against each other.

You dont think valencia are a big team? Okay, they have loads of injuries at the moment but come feburary when nearly everyone will be back, no one would fancy playing them. Roma are an excellent side as well, they are much better than Milan yet you think that Milan are a big team. Big team in terms of rep but not on the pitch.

Think before I speak? Know your football before you print

ummm…I’d classify Lille, Porto, Valencia, Roma, Celtic and Eindhoven as the ‘not-big’ teams.

Of the fixtures I listed, only two of those play against each other.

You’re bound to have big teams play each other in the second round. That’s why it’s so tough.

The United bit was a joke – that’s who I’d prefer us playing, but I’d honestly be happy with any team apart from Barcelona, and I’d love it if we got Real Madrid (and had Becks playing at Old Trafford again).

Arsenal v Barcelona has a lot of drama attached to it as well, so it would be an interesting match-up.

Think before you speak, I guess.
