In football terms I feel confident and think we're well capable of beating them over two legs. I just have a horrible, nagging doubt solely because I think our luck (not saying we've been lucky) has to run out in these kind of fixtures. We can't keep winning these sort of games, surely. Our record in such ties under Rafa is almost impeccable.
Who do the bookies make favourites, out of interest? Not that it makes a jot of difference on the pitch but I hope we're underdogs.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

The game at their place i feel is going to be a realy good game, if we have the attitude that we did at portsmouth of playing it on the deck but with a bit more verve it will be fantastic to watch and i cant wait.
Real maybe in form but their results have come against much lesser opposition, we have recently faced chelsea so we are likely to have greater confidence coming into this game knowing we can beat top teams rather easily which will help alot i feel.
Overall i can see a win at their place the second i feel may be another matter but i can this being a very good tie and if we do loose i dont think it will be a lose that we will consider shameful.
Finally a team that is near or on pare with our stature in football and quality with the ball, this tie has me feeling like a kid again a match i will simply enjoy. Cant wait.Last edited by DomL; 16-02-09, 04:23 PM.

Real have been described as a one man team, thats credit to Robben. He has been immense this season. Another player who has been good for them this season - Higuain. We have to watch out for him, he isn't the quickest but he is very intelligent in picking out holes in our defences and finding space for himself - very gifted player.Originally posted by wiw View PostWe obv need to stop Robben. He's apparently been switching wings constantly and roaming about the place - whether he'll be allowed to do that against us I don't know. Ramos is a worry as well but Riera did really well against Bosingwa who I would say is similar
Torres will rip their defence a new one anyway, and their midfield is no match for ours

Im quietly confident, yes they are playing well at the moment but I think we will have enough over the 2 legs,also a lot depends on how fit Gerrard is and if the tie was reversed I would be a little less confident but because the 2nd leg is at anfield and gerrard should be fit for the 2nd leg .We did at barca last year who were a better side and we have got stronger this year but we must keep Robben quietOriginally posted by Darth Marty View PostWhy does being confident have to be a bad thing?
I realise that Real have a chance, of course I do. I simply cannot see them beating us over 2 legs. I would feel the same of it was anyone other than Barca and the scum.You Can Lead A Horse To Water , But A Pencil Must Be Lead!

Jellyfish are 97% water or something, so how much are they doing? Just give them another 3% and make them water. It's more useful

Originally posted by Craig_H View PostThey're on a run of 8 straight wins in La Liga and Ramos has stablised them very well. Their league campaign is dead so they'll be putting everything into the Champions League and i think they'll be a very tricky prospect for us.
People still confident that we'll turn them over?
I'm slightly concerned.
i am paltwo very close games
