As much as I hate to say it (as an Arsenal fan), I'm thinkin Chelsea will take it. Either them or AC Milan for my bet.

Your Thoughts?

I think AC will take it this year.

I have seen them play a few times in the Champions league this year and they look awesome at times.

All the teams seem like they can win it this year though.

i dunno, as much as it pains me to say it, it's Chelsea's, they are too strong in my opinion. I think they edge out AC.
I feel so wrong for saying that, like I've disgraced my Arsenal nature.

Inter-Milan match ends in chaos

Angry fans throw flares onto pitch; Chelsea advances

Things could be even worse today in the Juve/Liverpool match. Revenge is on the minds of the Juve fans....

But fears about the quarter-final grew after Tuesday's trouble in Milan and also when a number of Juventus fans rejected Liverpool's first-leg apology for the Heysel disaster by turning their backs on it at Anfield.

My pick for a winner is also Chelsea. I think they are equipped to handle anything thats thrown at them.

Glad to see Liverpool get through another round. Always nice to have underdogs and the match between them and Chelsea should be good.

What a snoozer that Juve/Liverpool game was. The first 60 minutes anyway.

Really looking forward to Chelsea/Liverpool. TOo bad it couldnt have been in the Finals.

As a die-hard Liverpool fan (I was a season ticket holder for many years before moving to Canada) I can tell you that I wish it had been even duller! It was really tense to the end but was a heroic display by the injury ravaged Reds.

Bring on Chelski.....

VANFLAMESFAN · 04-14-2005, 01:18 AM

I like Chelsea to win it for sure. Back in September, I said Barca and Chelsea in the finals. Then they drew each other in the round of 16. So, at least one of my picks should go thru. I just dont see how Liverpool can withstand Chelsea. IMO, there is no one better in the game than Frankie Lampard. The guy is amazing, and this is coming from a guy who is ANTI-English anything. Then again, I am Portuguese and Chelsea has got Carvalho, Ferreira, Tiago and of course, the man, the myth, the legend, the greatest coach in Portuguese history, JOSE MOURINHO

I REALLY hope Chelsea loses, but they've dominated their last few games, so I don't see that happening easily. They are pretty easily the favorites, in my opinion. At this point, I want PSV to win it.

KevanGuy · 05-04-2005, 01:37 PM

Im glad Chelsea lost yesterday. Good for LIverpool to advance. Its half in the game today and PSV is really taking it to Milan. Hopefully they can get one more here.

Cheese · 05-04-2005, 01:39 PM

Hey KG...LIVERPOOL RULES!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!

KevanGuy · 05-04-2005, 02:00 PM

You got alota nerve showin' yer face round these parts...

Thunderball · 05-04-2005, 02:42 PM

This is AC's championship to lose... Juve and Chelsea just sucked against Liverpool, and I dunno how much longer Liverpool can play as good as they have been in CL.

Unless somehow PSV wins... which they didn't, but they sure must've rattled AC.

Hopefully enough for AC to flop against Juventus in the Scudetto race on Sunday... Forza Juve!

well...remember Greece?

As an Arsenal fan, I don't usually cheer for another English team, but I can't help but root for Liverpool this year. I always like a good underdog, and a team that seems destined to more than they should. I guess they remind me of the Flames.

That's true... a "Greece" can always happen, but it will be more that AC didn't come out flying than Liverpool did. Saying that as being a fan of neither team, yet watching them play about 5 games each this season in League, Cup and CL.

sbailey924 · 05-06-2005, 05:20 PM

Milan's path to the championship has been a pretty rough one, going through Barcelona, Man U, Inter, PSV, and, to a lesser extent, Celtic. As much as I dislike the chump Gattuso, I can't really complain if they pull it out. I'm not a fan of either team, but I never really seem to be of the teams that make it to the final. It'll be a fun game to watch, as always.
