Anyway Bayern play Real Madrid so only one of them will get thru, so another decent team (along with Man Utd and Juve) will be out.
Monaco and Moscow arent good teams yet one of them will make the QFs, so will Lyon, who only had to play to Sociedad. Compare the probable QFists to last years, Ajax, Real, Arsenal, Valencia, Inter, Man Utd, Juve, Milan. UEFA have made a mess of the CL by removing the 2nd group stage and replacing it with a knock out.

Csaunders - you are right. ManU is first, but Redskins are second z(they were first last year, I believe) according to a new Deloitte and Touche report that came out last week. Do an internet search and you will find it.

Agree with ClassicD on this.
It was a wize move from UEFA. I don't know what edmundo meant with "decent" teams but decent teams are the ones who win matches. Final.
Knockout gives a fair change to everyone and makes everything more exciting.
Those were the days when the Champions League was INDEED a Champions tournament: Only champion teams facing eatchother in thrilling knockout rounds. Those were in fact the days of nice decent soccer.

UEFA should do us all a favour and change the name of the competition from champions league (very misleading), to "uefa decent cup" :mrgreen:

The bottom line is you have a home and an away game , giving you a fair opportunity and 180 minutes to stake your claim. Juventus and ManU didn't stake it, and that's all there is to it.
Kinda sad cuz i would a liked seeing all the big boys throw down, but such is life. Winners advance.

Why Today Doesn't Suck.
- 11 April 2002
Now, I don't pop into this thread very often, but I hope someone can enlighten me as to why people think A.Fergie should be sacked.
According to the current Soccernet.com poll, 55% of the people responding think that he should go....
.... now this just doesn't make sense, is he really doing all that bad?... I mean, SCUM are going to get second something that doesn't happen all that often and with a significantly weaker team than he has had lately. Plus, he seems to have sufficiently reloaded for the future with the new players in the first team... Howard, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Saha, all players already showing their potential.
Being in the USA, we don't hear about Ferguson every day... I assume the whole "stud" thing may have soured people's taste for him, but c'mon, the guy is one of the top coaches in the world, I doubt that SCUM will be able to successfully replace him as it is so rare that coaching legends are ever followed by another.
So can someone please explain what all the hub-bub is about?

I personally believe that he should have left at the end of last season, or even the season before. Not because he's suddenly a bad manager, but because the only way is down from here. I very much doubt that he'll ever be able to pull off another treble, and quite frankly this is probably the worst Man Utd team of the last 10 years. He's also made some slightly dodgy decisions in the last couple of years, and I just think that he should have gone out in a blaze of glory and looked for another challenge, maybe managing Scotland and taking them to the World Cup in 2006...
...blimey, now that really is what I call a challenge! :mrgreen:

Brilliantly said. Manure have the biggest diver around, and then they blast everyone else for diving.
Ninja, it don't matter what channel we're on, we're in Europe, and we're favourites to make the 4th place spot anyway. I never said a word about Ferguson, i still think he is the right manager to turn things around, but he has made some poor decisions over the last couple of years.

Eatontj,
The best sign of a declining manager is what happened to mister Fergie this weeks: too much smartass conference presses with psico mumbo jumbo and almos inexistant "homework", studying the adversary, discovering his strong and weak points.
That happens to almost all managers. Too many victories and age bring relax. One they their team pays the price. Fergie focused to much on "diving" bullshit and how Porto bought their Titles as easy as buying a "bottle of milk", which resulted in poor attention to Porto's evident qualities.
He doesn't even had the excuse of facing the "unknown", as every managher in europe should know Porto by now due to last year unquestionable UEFA sucess (with episodes like the 4-1 armaggedon over a Lazio that wasn't doing bad in Serie A).
Do you remeber that time when Fergie refered a diferent israeli team than the one he was facing the next day? another example of a declining manager who stopped doing his homework.

Thanks for the responses about Ferguson, I was completely bumfuzzled about why people want him ousted, but I've got a better idea now.
Still think that sacking him would be a mistake as he would be hard to replace AND he is doing a pretty solid job while missing his defense.... but hey that's just me.
SCUM seem to have the same problem as Liverpool right now and that's lacking defensive support. Attacking's just not the same without it.

The Gary Neville Diaries
Thursday March 11 2004
It's been a difficult week for the Neviller. Here's his in-no-way-made-up-at-all diary of the week - including a terrible accident with a non-permanent marker...
Friday
Put the cones out for Sir today and he glanced at me. Made me feel special. He never looks at Phil like that. Told Mum and she said I have to share but that's not fair because I got to the cones first. Moustache looks a bit thicker today.
Saturday
Won today but I didn't play Watched MUTV all night to see whether Sir said he missed me. Am sure they edited it out. Hung out with Rio until he told me to 'go away innit'. Will tell Sir tomorrow. Deffo not a penalty today - gave that girl Boa Morte a nasty stare after the game to let him know that I know. Man in wheelchair laughed at my moustache. Cried myself to sleep.
Sunday
Took Sir an apple. But Weasley gave him a bottle of red wine so he'll probably play on Tuesday. Creep. Went to Mum's for dinner but she tried to make me eat sprouts and then laughed when I banged my fists on the kitchen lino. She won't laugh again. Read Sir's book in bed. Coloured in moustache with marker. Looks manly.
Monday
Rained at training. Marker wasn't permanent.
Tuesday (early)
Playing tonight so was definitely worth washing bibs for Sir. Looked at papers and I was in them again! Will put in scrapbook. So glad I said Porto don't act like men. Am really getting good at this mind games business. Photo on back of The Sun made my moustache look thin but Mum says it's just the ink. She says I look handsome.
Tuesday (late)
Not fair. Not fair. Not fair. It was a goal and we should have won and someone pushed me and someone tried to hurt Ronaldo and the girls dived on the floor and the referee blew the whistle before we could score and they celebrated in front of OUR fans and that made me so angry but I had to go and tell the TV that they deserved it (they didn't and I had my fingers crossed. Ha!). It's just not fair because we're the best team in the whole wide world.
Have given Philip a Chinese burn for that free-kick and told Sir to sell him.
Wednesday
Sir not happy today. He didn't even cheer up when I gave him my drawing. Wonder if he'll put it on his fridge with the others? Saw a small boy laughing at me so held him down until he said that Manchester United were the best team in the whole wide world. Feel better now. Bought some Re-Gane and put on top lip. Can't wait until the morning to see my bushy, manly 'tache.
Thursday
Phoned David to ask him to ask Elton about hair transplants. He said he was 'too busy preparing for the quarter-finals of the Champions League'. Am going to tell Sir and then I'm going to fly to Spain and then hold him down until he says that Manchester United are the best team in the whole wide world. And I'm going to take back the Man United sovereign ring I sent him for Christmas.
Update: Mum says I can't go to Spain.
