Four English Teams in The Champions League Final 16!

How about that? Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool.

Four English teams in the final 16 of the Champions League race. What do you think the chances are of an English team coming home with the title?

Let's see...Chelsea wins the Premiership and the Champions League?

Sounds about right to me!

Chelsea have drawn Barcelona and Man U have drawn AC Milan. Two very tough ties in which the English/Russian teams will be underdogs. Arsenal will be favourites against Bayern Munich and Liverpool have a good chance against Bayer Leverkeusen.

Both Barcelona and AC Milan contributed to the exit of my favourite team, Celtic! so for that, I want to see Chelsea and Man U win! I think Chelsea have a good chance against Barcelona, though I'm not sure about Man U beating AC Milan. Will all be good matches though!

Leverkusan knocked us out last time we (Liverpool) qualified. So now we can get our revenge on our way to lifting the trophy.

I don't mind who wins, but I'm really looking forward to Chelsea vs Barcelona, I think that'll be a cracking match. When you're used to the poor quality Scottish football league, the champions league is a welcome relief.

You can strike Manchester United off my list valeogut , I honestly don't think they will beat AC Milan! Keep Chelsea there though!

I 100% agree with you Duff , the Scottish league has two teams, Celtic and Rangers.

Despite this, the SPL is still the league I follow most, even more than the Premiership. I would travel across the Irish Sea a lot to Celtic games, and the Old Firm games are great! (For those who don't know what the Old Firm games are, its Celtic V. Rangers, nearly always a fantastic match).

The league is fairly tight this year! Only a point separate Celtic and Rangers at the top!

But for those of us who support other teams (yes they do exist!) the Celtic/Rangers thing is tedious. I like to watch them in Europe, but the SPL is spoilt by their dominance. Every year the same two horse race. Yawn!

The financial gulf between the old firm nd the other teams means they can poach any up and coming talent.

*gets off soapbox*

I for one would really have liked it if the old firm had joined the premiership - I think it would be good for them in that they would get a greater challenge week in week out, and would make the SPL more interesting as well.
