** Uefa Champions League, Semi-final ** *spoilers*
- Thread starter Tummy
- Start date
Not enough breasts.
Tonight is Sky, tomorrow is ITV.
Arsenal vs Man United is on ITV next week so I'll be watching that...
Such a pain in the rear not having a TV aerial or even the friggin' internet at my flat right now
All at the business end of the season as well... If I don't get my aerial sorted out this weekend I'm just gonna order Sky+HD
Only thing I would have done is use the Sky/ITV logos to show people what channels the games are on
No, they're good, and someone else would probably make them if you didn't.
A suggestion:
Include broadcast information for the matches next to the time and venue?

Aye, stick some logos on.
I can't see us winning over two legs. In all fairness, it was only a dire day back in winter where UTD all forgot their shooting boots the reason we won.
I can see them being well up for this. Ronaldo's been somewhat off his form of the past two seasons wouldn't at all be surprised to see poor Gibbs being turned inside out. Hopefully with both defences being slightly crap, we'll be able to steal an away goal.

Done
Anything else ?
I'll start doing these regular if people enjoy how I'm doing them.
I don't know why but I seriously fancy Chelsea to sneak it over too legs. If he does what I think he'll do and put Essien on Iniesta they will neutralize a lot of their threat from the middle.
I think the other tie will be decided on away goals, purely a case of who scores more at the away ground for me. If Ade turns up I would fancy Arsenal to get at least one, but I'd also fancy the United front line in current form against the make-shift Gunner's back four.

I was sceptical over Man U's form up to the second half Vs Spurs but now I feel a lot better.
But i doubt that Man U will start with Tevez, Rooney, Ronaldo and Berba so I'm not expecting the same attacking play, it's just nice to know that they can create the chances if necessary

Barcelona are great going forward, but Chelsea are very good at stifling play, and Barcelona always give the other team a few chances per game and perhaps won't be used to how much Chelsea are going to hassle them and hurry them into decisions. I don't think it'll be comfortable for Barcelona, in fact I think that's exactly what Hiddink will try to avoid. Barcelona's defence are really not very good and wouldn't last at a top club in England, they only get away with this because nobody in Spain really attacks them, which is something I imagine Chelsea will try.
Should be a good game but I think to say Barca will have an easy game is a bit naive
I think chelsea will score and though I'm sure there will be a lot of nervous moments, with a bit of luck we could get a draw tonight. Anyone saying barca will walk it is wrong imo.
The Arsenal man u will be very close and for some reason I reckon arsenal will come through on top (assuming ronaldo doesn't score a 40 yard goal!).

They get away with it because they usually have 70% possession which limits the amount of attacks the other side gets. But you are right, their defense can be very poor.
A.Cole is a big loss. Bosingwa might well do a better job on Messi as he will be cutting in onto his left but that means that Chelsea are without their first choice RB against Henry who has been in great form.
I also don't buy all this talk about Chelsea vs Messi, I don't think Hiddink is that naive. Like most games this will probably be won in midfield. If Xavi and Iniesta are left control the game then Chelsea will be in huge trouble.
I think a lot of people are being incredibly naive over the whole thing. For a start, Chelsea have the best defensive midfielder in the game with Essien and personally I'd take Lampard over Xavi or Iniesta any day of the week and Ballack aint exactly bad either, so that's the 3 in the middle for Chelsea can cause any team in the World problems. If Chelsea had Joe Cole I think the game would be easier for Chelsea, but Drogba is on fire again and shouldn't find Pique or Puyol any problem at all. We rattled Barcelona at the back last season and they have arguably less defensive quality this season having Alves and we didn't have anyone with the power of Drogba. Anelka is also too fast for any of their 3 CB's, so they have to play the offside trap to their peril.
Barcelona are the best attacking force in World football at the moment, but Chelsea are far more balanced over all. If they play like they did against Liverpool then the game is Chelseas for the taking.
