champion's leagues 03/04

i’m not sure yet…the frenchies of course have the best team by far…and with Ziddi among them, they have a player of the class of Pele, Maradona, Cruijff.

But again, Holland is Holland…and with the youngsters coming through…I’m looking forward to a final between these two teams :k:

^...with Holland as the winner ofcourse

Holland aint gonna do jack, if it indeed makes it far nuff to face france, it will get a good spanking and sent back to the land of windmills and wooden clogs.

shinz^maybe, maybe not…these two teams may fight out between themselves :hehe:

Fraudz…well to be honest, i can’t think of any team apart from France, of which can be said they are ‘by default’ better than Holland at the moment

Yeah and that's that!

Fully confident that Holland will do well this EC :-)
Definitely better than the brits!

Holland by default is better than England…as a commentator put it: England should always qualify for major tournaments! cuz they only take part in them to lose :hehe:

Biggest upset of champions league
**Monaco beats Real Madrid 3-1and Goes through to semi finals on away goals… **

Another upset !!

**Chelsea beats Arsenal 2-1 on thier home ground **
Treble dreams are shattered to pieces and only premiership remains for Arsenal.

I m very disappointed on Real Madrid though, their defence is really really weak and shaky as much as their attack is awesome.

But Chelsea :k: They, alongwith AC Milan remain the teams to cheer for. First victory over Arsenal in 17 matches.. wow!

can’t believe what i witnessed today :eek:

Real really disappointed me today…their defence is aweful. Apart from Roberto Carlos (who is actually a forward) they don’t have anyone of some calibre.

I suggest they buy some good defenders: there are quite a few out there they can get: Walter Samuel (Roma), Thuram (Juventus), Chivu (Roma), Silvestre (ManU)

yeah me too, really disappointed !!

They were 5-2 up when they scored and they let three goals to monaco who deserve to be in semi finals....

hahahahahah Arsenal dream shatter - hahaha whooooo! - i am soooooo happy to see them lose - ahahahahahah

Monaco knocked out Real Madrid - sets up a semi-final with Chelsea.

Arsenal out. :crying:

I hope the over bloated good for nothing Chelsea gets whipped in the semi finals.

Ehsan bhai, accept it naa. Arsenal choked in two crucial matches against chelse and ManU

And the way chelsea played in second half was just amazing. I think they will play in champions league final this year:D

I feel for arsenal fans, they've had a terrible few days :( Oh well, the better team won I guess :s
