Champions League knockout phase

[The Erectile Banana]

Oh.

What happened to all the matches been playing the same week? More pointless stretching out of matches to maximise TV revenue. They started doing this last year, didn't they? I didn't like it then and I still don't like it now.

Load of old bollards.

Prefer it this way, to be honest. Means i can watch more good matches, rather than having to choose which one to watch and which to miss.

Milan v Spurs
Arsenal v Barca
Inter v Bayern

Yes please.

I would absolutely love it if we dumped Chelsea out of a top four finish, love it.

Then next season if yous could dump out Arsenal and we replace Chelsea for a second year on the trot that would be even better

Ideally, either you or City have a massive collapse and we somehow win all 11 of our remaining games But realistically, yes it'd be hilarious to see Chelsea and Torres lining up in the Europa Cup alongside us next season.

That is the benefit, but stretching a knockout round over four weeks purely for television purposes is ridiculous. Call me old fashioned but I think all the matches should be played as close together as possible.

Milan will batter Spurs

Ibra will batter Spurs

Fixed it for you

Milan will batter Spurs

I'm not sure they will. Famous last words but I reckon they might win tonight and I hope they do too. Got nothing against Spurs or Arsenal, the only teams I genuinly want to lose in Europe (or anywhere) are United and Chelsea.

Me too mate. I normally support Arsenal in the CL as the PL is my league of choice and I prefer to see teams representing my league performing well as I would prefer the PL to be seen as the best in the world, attracting the best players and creating the best entertainment for me the viewer/supporter.

Of course if its Chelsea or United then they can **** right off the cunts.

[Drago]

**** that ****e. Hope all the English teams get battered over the next few weeks.

It's a shame the two most hated are the likeliest to go through. Still it'll be fun watching Barca teach Arsenal a lesson.

[Rudo]

I want Arsenal to go through but hope the other 3 get thumped.

spoken like a true gooner.

No neutral, other than Madrid or Espanyol fans perhaps, wouldnt want to see Barca win the CL.

[Fernandinho]

I don't want them to win it. I love seeing an unexpected team go on an incredbile run and win it. When the favourites win its far less entertaining.

[Chris]

I think Milan are a bit ****e really, good attack but they are all diva's at times anyway and the rest of the team is a massive "meh". Though you can never rule out Spurs completely capitulating I do think they'll go through. Still, I cant see either team doing much in this competition.

Yeah, but you're weird

We've been here before, it's a shame you can't have a minor liking for another Premier League aside from the one you support.
