UEFA Champions League 08/09 - 1st Knockout Round

Sorry boss.

I had tipped a 2-1 win to them, they were just rampant and Sporting had no idea. All goes were very soft.

BREAKING NEWS FROM SKY
Rio Ferdinand and John O'shea will be fit for TOMORROWS match against Inter Milan.
Phew! I really am relieved with that bit of breaking news about a match in over 24 hours time, when there are 2 games tonight involving English teams in Europe.
They have been fawning over the scum all morning, telling the viewing public how they have been training, who gives a flying Fu*k about their team in a game tomorrow!
Sky are up their ar$es.
Does any other team get the preferential treatment they get with the Press getting how wonderful they are?
Come on INTER, do Europe a great service, and knock those tw@ts out.

Noticed that myself RedPuppy, I was like WTF ??  There are more important games on tonight.  Got a good feeling about Inter tomorrow night though, I can see the Mancs going out tomorrow    Come on Jose !!

Sky Scum 

Inter have no recognised centre-backs, as all four of them are currently out.

I fear a Manure win here.

Damn. Unless Mourinho's doing a Fergie

Not bothered at all by tomorrow night.

Wouldn't be to disappointed if United got through.

I just got this feeling we'll do 'em in Rome.

Not bothered at all by tomorrow night.

Ditto, not bothered who we get - it's been said enough, you have to beat the best to win the CL. There's only quality teams left, so one or another, what's the difference?

Everyone knows that we're the team to beat anyway!

The irony of it is, none of us care who wins in the other ties cos we know we can beat any one of them.  But I bet every other team is praying for us to get knocked out.  Just goes to show what a huge threat we are.

My only worry is we will draw an English side in the QF like we did last season if there are 3 or 4 Premiership team in the draw, not that I am worried about not beating them, I just want to play European sides in the UCL and not Premiership sides.

Can't believe Bayern Munich won 7-1. How poor are Sporting Lisbon! Jeesh. That's actually unbelieable/embarrasing.

Infact, does that break the record for highest aggregate in one teams favour in the Champions League?

Yes it does.

12-1 in now the new record.

That's the target in the quarter-final for us then!

Piece of cake

Of course!

I'm not liking that 1 after the 12 though.

Something we need to sort out.

Haha!

I'm looking forward to watching the highlights from the games on ITV

The sad part is that Bayern Munich are a not a elite side which makes the result evening more of a joke in Sporting Lisbon case. I expect in the QF if they get picked with a strong side they will get found out quite easily.

True, but Bayern Munich are the only people big enough assholes to play their starters and win the second game 7-1 after winning the first 5-0. I doubt even Sir Alex would have played those sort of players in the second leg.

You can't take it away from them though, 12-1 is still an amazing feat and I'd rather not play them in the next round.
I think we are the team to beat in the Champions League but they are looking good.

Does anyone know when the draw for the 1/4 finals is?
