You're right if it's an Arsenal v Chels semi.That one could go all the way and i'd hate it to go to pens,

Just like too say last night they predicted a Chelsea and Manure final! It ended up as AC Milan v Liverpool. So anything can happen. I can see Barcalona been in the final though for sure.

Naturally Bear,with the final in Moscow and Mr A being Russian,we'll be buying the European Cup as well as the other trophy's we won !laugh!

Chelsea won't hear the end of it,if they win it in Russia.

Though they're already lining up Wembley Stadium should it be an 'all English' final,which is a great possibility.The Bear up a tree wrote:

A "tough" draw for Liverpool??? How come?

Given they have nothing else to play for Rafa will rest his best players ahead of the Arsenal games, whilst Arsenal daren't drop any points in the title race with Man Utd and Chelsea so close behind.

If Both Chelsea and Liverpool win their way through to the semis, the scenario is the same... Liverpool, with nothing else to play for, will rest their best players ahead of the Chelsea games, while the Blues will still be desperate to catch up on lost ground in the title race.

So, actually, it's anything but "tough" for Liverpool... but having said that they'll come a cropper against one or the other anyway. Let's face it, any of the other teams would be "tough" for Liverpool!!!

I can only hope that by the time they get knocked out from the CL, Everton will have pretty much secured 4th place... now that would be fun!!!

It never ceases to amaze me how much complete and total bollocks that you talk.

Why don't you stick to commenting on subjects that you actually know something about. Obviously that won't leave you much to talk but if you stick to your specialist subjects like how to run an escort agency, how to be a pimp, talking shite and being an arrogant obnoxious git then you'll be fine.

Easy tiger.He (Bob) was probably only having a laugh with you.Then again,he is right in terms of Liverpool only having one trophy to play for,while Chelsea are still fighting on two fronts,especially if we do Sunderland tomorrow(Saturday),and the Yids on Wednesday.

I'm comfortable playing Liverpool in the semi's,because the 2nd leg is at 'fortress' Stamford Bridge.But we're just taking things one step at a time.

Btw,i hope Everton finish 4th this season as well.eduardo wrote:

I would'nt worry about it mate.We should have a big enough squad to cope with the demand of the remaining months of the season,even though we have a clueless oath like Grant in charge atm.

Fatigue is hardly a factor as we did'nt have to up a gear to trounce Derby the other night,believe me mate,they (Derby) were really shit.

I'm very confident we can reach the final this time.
I'm using the 'we' reference as i'm assuming you're a Blue as well !thumbsup!Bob Singleton wrote:
