[Keesie]

The Champions League first semi-final match will be played next tuesday.

The remaining teams this year are:
- Chelsea FC
- Manchester United
- AC Milan
- Liverpool

What team do you think will win the Uefa Champions League this year?

will update the thread...

[Drewy]

Im going for Man U winning. Man U V Liverpool final because Liverpool are always too good for Chelsea in the Champions League.

[Phaded]

Ooooo tough call, im a Man Utd fan so obviously i want to say United to win it, however all teams have a great chance of doing it.

[TooGood]

I'd like Man U to win it and I think they will, im not really bothered who wins tbh though aslong as its not Chelsea...

[reality]

I have the feeling that the final will be Manchester United versus Liverpool. It is going to be tough but I like Liverpool.

[Keesie]

Well Manchester plays tonight! :) can't wait to see the match...

[reality]

I think Manchester will be ok, since they forced Milan to win in Italy, now the pressure is on Milan to win the game.

[Blu-Ray]

I'm pulling for MU because that's the only team that I really know about in the poll. :)

[Phaded]

Well the Chelsea and Liverpool games on tonight, this should be very interesting.

[reality]

I'm almost sure Liverpool will be in the final . My guess is Liverpool Vs Manchester United.

[kingsam]

It's too tricky to decide, I just hope it isn't AC (Nothing against Italians mind you).

I'd quite like a Chelsea v Man U final, as well as Chelsea v Man U FA Cup final and the Chelsea v Man U match as decider for the Premier Leaque.
That would be nuts.
Treble or Quadruple.

I hope AC win, they truly deserve it. Kaka's strikes are priceless. 8)

[Beemer]

Well, Man Utd is up 3-2 going to Milan and Chelsea is up 1-0 going to Anfield. My guess, Man draws Milan 0-0 and Liverpool wins 2-1 but on the away goal rule Chelsea goes through.

Man Utd vs Chelsea in the final. Hopefully Man Utd's defense will have enough time to heal and at least get Ferdinand back. If they can field Rio, Neville and Evra then they definitely have the upper hand over Chelsea IMO.

Funny that's exactly what I predicted.
Who said Americans know nothing about football eh?

Still it'd be a damn tight final, as are the two second leg semi finals, so I won't be suprised at any outcome.

[Keesie]

I would really like to see an all England final with ManU against Liverpool or Chelsea FC.

Next matches:
Tuesday: Liverpool FC - Chelsea FC
Wednesday: AC Milan - Manchester United

[Phaded]

Vidic could be making a shock return for the Milan game i heard, also by the final im sure we could get most of our defenders back, except Silvestre who is out for the season.

You need him back aswell he's been quality this season. If Carrick can do a better job of keeping Kaka quiet Man U should still go through and beat Chelsea in the final :)

[SnakeDevil]

Someone should have manmarked KAKA like Barcelona did last year and KAKA was almost useless last year. I am a Man Utd fan and have been hearing a lot of talk about Ronaldo being the best player in the world but I don't believe it because to be the best player in the world you need to be Excellent over a larger period of time than one season. Even before the Milan match i told my friends that KAKA was the best player in the world and that he was a real threat, and the Man Utd match confirmed it.

Predictions

I think Man Utd wil draw at the San Siro (hopefully a score draw as i want to be entertained!!:D8):D)

I think Chelsea will hod out their lead and that there will be a Man Utd Vs. Chelsea final.

I think Man Utd wil win the CL as we are too good for Chelsea and their bunch of long ball merchants.

BTW. what team do you support Keesie?

[christianpachon]

I think something magic will happen with Manchester United and Chelsea will be knock out of every competition. My pick obviously Man U.
I read that Gary Neville will be fit to face Milan. And vidic maybe fit for FA Cup Final.

[reality]

Well seems that so far one of my prediction is in the books. As for Manchester United versus Milan, I like United just because the momentun the team had in the first leg to come back and beat Milan (wich by the way is not that easy), however Milan has in Kaka an ace under their sleeve. I'll say the game will end in a tie 1 to 1 in San Siro.;) though.

Edit: Sorry for the lost, MU fans, never thought Milan could be in the final but I was wrong.

Champions League 3rd and 4th place playoff (http://www.redcafe.net/showthread.php?t=153834)

they're playing it at Wembley the saturday before the European Cup final, to save any further embarrassment, they're calling it the FA cup final

[Firefox]

Arsenal is my team in the premier, Olympique de Marseille in French League, and Milan in the Italian League. So you know who I am supporting. :D

[christianpachon]

We play so bad today (manU) that i feel sorry because of the way of playing and not the result. The players just did not give a **** about the match, it is really sad, but heads up and lets go beat massive city.

I hope Milan beat the scoursers.

[Keesie]

Well Liverpool and AC Milan are through to the finals, who do you think will win this year?

[Drewy]

I hope Liverpool win. They have won it before against Milan 2 years ago so im sure they can do it again.

Its a shame Man U went out. They never played anywhere near there best. Im not sure the rain really helped Man U either as it was hammering down all through the first half and the ball seemed to move a little slower than it usually would. Oh well same for both teams so can't complain Milan were just better.

[Phaded]

As a United fan i hope Milan win it now, because we would of gone out to the winners also because if Liverpool win it they won't stop going on about it, and after Gerrard's dive to get a penalty in the final 2 years ago i think Milan deserve to get payback.
