Oh my GOD Arsenal played so well. I cannot wipe the smile off my face. They were brilliant. It could've easily been 8-0. I love this team. Arshavin was brilliant. Nasri played in Cesc's position perfectly. Bendtner (for once) scored when he should have. I love life.

Calmer than you are.
Man U beats the hell out of Milan 4-0. Rooney got subbed out with MU ahead 3-0 in the 65th minute.
I don't really have a favorite team, but Wayne Rooney has been my favorite player to watch this season. Dude's motor is just always going, and he can score in so many ways. Incredible player.

Watching Cristiano Ronaldo walk off like a bitch this afternoon was almost as good.TDG;1670943; said:

I couldn't be happier for Ronaldo. He got his dream move. To play for a team that can't get past the knockout round of the Champions League and can't win the title in Spain. I hope he has all the hardware he needs cause with that team of ball hogs, he isn't likely to win much more. In addition, I hope he enjoys not having to play so many rough games a year.

The first leg of the Europa 16s are today. I like (to advance, not necessarily today):
Hamburg over Anderlecht
Kazan over Wolf, though that's a toughie
Lisbon over A Madrid
Liverpool walks over Lille
Pan over Liege
Marseille over Benfica
Valencia and Werder is a bit of a toss-up, I'll go with Werder
And sadly, I think my Fulham boys get rolled by Juve, though their is always a chance that the underachieving Juve will show up

Probably the biggest mistake at Stamford Bridge was to bring Shevchenko to Chelsea. Who would've thought that decision would shake up European soccer forever?
However, great win for Inter.....Italian soccer really needed that result, especially after the thrashing of AC Milan and the exit of Fiorentina.

Italian soccer needed that far worse than you think. If Inter had lost to Chelsea, the Italian league would have been reduced to 3 teams in the Champions League instead of the 4 they have currently. The Germans and Italians are allotted 7 teams for the 2 countries and if one or the other miss the quarterfinals for 3 years running the extra slot is moved to the other country.
Abramovich will most likely never taste what he wants most. Champions League glory. This teams core group maybe have 2 years left befor it will be time to start retooling the team. Terry, Lampard, Ballack & Drogba are in their prime and Carvalho is maybe already on the down slope of his career.

Lyon/Bordeaux
Manchester United/Bayern Munich
Arsenal/Barcelona
Inter/CSKA Moscow
Not the draw I wanted with Gallas still out. Also disappointed to see both French teams drawn together.

Sorry, just had to jump back in with a Europa Update:
HOLY SHIT!
Fulham records the 4-1 dusting of Juve to advance. Very proud of the boys with this effort and the 5-4 agg.
With Winston Wolfsburg in the next round, all of a sudden it looks like they have a chance to pull this thing off, or at least make some noise. German sides are always a tough draw though. Elsewhere it's a Spanish affair versus Valencia and A Madrid, Hamburg takes on Standard from Belgium, and perhaps the matchup of the tournament rounds it out, with Benfica taking on Liverpool.
