Advantages: Big Games to come
Disadvantages: Pay per view
With the very real possibility of an all British high profile semi final on the cards and not the telly for 99% of the nation lets have a quick prediction for the second legs. When ITV digital needs all the revenue it can get its playing a risky game by broadcasting this to its minute subscribers only, further alienating any new business, but sadly that rock and a hard place is the only way to get new punters.
BARCELONA 3 PANATHINIKOS 0>>>>>>>>>>>>The Greeks did the best in a cagey home leg with a creditable one nil win. But the Nou Camp isnt the place to go and put ten men behind the ball. The onslaught will be too much, and the expectation massive for Barca as they are on course for an equally lucrative pay per view with Madrid.Weird that isnt it.
BAYER LEVERKUSEN 2 LIVERPOOL 0>>>>>>>>I think the scousers have blown it here. That goal on half time by Hyppia gifted them the chance to push on for a second. Owen and Heskey sank from the challenge and looked more concerned saving their aching muscles for Japan.
I think this apathy will cost them the league to Arsenal and the all England class here to. Emile is back in his poor First Division target man form and the goals are drying up at Anfield.
I think Phil Thompson having to hand the car keys back To Houllier is causing a missed gear or two as the players get beck into the old routine.
REAL MADRID 2 BAYERN MUNICH 0 >>>>>>>>>The Germans could be with out a pot this year as they trail badly in their domestic league and a goal in the away column here. They battled to a home win after going behind last week but they will need more that the third Panzer division to keep this slick outfit out in the Berna Bau.
This defeat was the Spanish teams first and last in my opinion although they to trail in their domestic league. But one zero will be enough so no defense for the twice champions league finalist.
MANCHESTER UNITED 1 DEPORIVA 1>>>>>>>> Live ITV 7-45PM.
Make n
o mistake that United fear these guys and their intricate football around the last third. The two nil away win was as devastating for the Spaniards at the time as the two injuries were for united. But Becks was just being a baby and will play as with Keane the major worry.
So maybe that two-goal deficit will prove not quite as bad to for the visitors and win three out of four this competition against Manchester United on the cards.
If United take any risks by resting players like they did against Leicester they will be hurt early on. They have to put the strongest eleven out and keep down the breaks that could sting them.
Scholes petulant booking is the type of thing that will hurt England to this summer and that excuse used by Ericsson to keep Le saux out of the squad couldn?t be more present in the ginger topped midfielder.
Diego Forlan ,this guy is a footballer right!.I though he was on a work placement from New Deal or something.
Man United will need to score in front of the nations armchair viewers to keep control of this and that Hamden Park destiny. They got away with at Leicester City by a Zimbabwe cent and can not take liberties if they want two legs against the scousers.
EUFA CUP.Thursday.
AC MILAN 2 DORTMUND 1>>>>>>>>>Well I really cocked up my theory hat the rigged Euro draws would guarantee an Italian final here. The once great team were hammered by the mid table Germans who are now the dominant country along with Spain.
A 2-4-4 formation will need to be deployed and the German goalie will be as busy as Joe Moors e-mail send bottom during Tuesdays royal funeral.
FEYNORD 1 INTER MILAN 1>>>>>>>>Dutch football is as regressive as the Italian game these days. The Holland leagues are so weak that the big teams are allowed to enter two sides in the domestic cup, with PSV A nearly having to play PSV B.A penalty shoot out saved the embarrassment.
But the plucky Rotterdam side knicked a wi
n in Milan and deserve to go through. Definitely a battle of goalkeepers and forwards on the chilly Dutch coast.
