If you are on the top tier at the New Camp then I suggest taking some binoculars or its like watching ants play football.

Flight companies are taking the piss but they know that football fans will pay because it will be a great experiance supporting there team at a great stadium.

 

I am not a city fan but I hope they will do well tonight

[jocky king]

Barcelona have 75% of the possession of the first half. Looks likely Barcelona will have a easy second leg win, I hope I am right !!! Lol.

[glenman]

I know many fans/pundits cream themselves about them but I find Barca very hard to watch. Pass, pass, pass fucking pass!

[glenman]

The sending off has actually made it a far better game.

[jocky king]

A huge mountain to climb for city to overturn the 2-0 deflict at Nou Camp , I thought City did well to hold a 1-0 deflict with ten men until Barcelona damaged their hope to progress with a final minute goal.

Exactly the same story and result as city for arsenal, will also be difficult to win at Bayern Munich ground in the second leg. Robben was too hot to handle fir Arsenal defence with his beautiful football. Signs looking good for United or Chelsea , very very rare to see all english clubs goes out in the same rounds.

[Mick Pattaya]

Utd taking on Olympiacos in Greece tonight, Borussia already rummaging through Zenit & virtually securing a place in the QFs.

[jocky king]

Not looking good for united with 2-0 away defeat to Greek side, but not that bad as City and Arsenal, United will have to play better than tonight performance, I thought Welbeck changed the match when he came on for Valencia. And Kagwna for Cleverly . To score nothing away will be difficult for United in three weeks time. How ironically the three English clubs is losing by the same score, 2-0.

Think you are being a tad optimistic Jockey. Losing to Bayern or Barcelona is not quite the same as being beaten by Olympiakos. All due respect to Olympiakos. I know it was away but United were dire against a side who is possibly the weakest in the CL. A team that can boast that one of it's very best players is there on loan from Arsenal. 

[Alfhucham]

Good point mrlek although it'd are probably the weakest team in the CL ! They won't need to worry about it next year though :-)

[Mick Pattaya]

In a short while from now Chelsea take on Galatasaray, Mourinho & Drogba going at each other, the other game sees hot favorites Real take on Schalke 04. Would be fun to see Real vs Chelsea in the Qfs, Mourinho & Ancelloti pitted against their former employers.

I have a feeling City or Arsenal will surprised their opponent to overturn the deflict. They will be looking to have an all out attack after 20 minutes or so.

[jocky king]

Arsenal should be proud of tonight performance without four tops stars out injured/suspended , had the red card never happens in the first leg , maybe it will be a different story.

[Gadget]

Ahh, great start to the day, knowing Arsenal got beat, ha ha

To be honest Arsenal never stood a chance once they were 2 away goals down from 1st leg, second consecutive season they have been knocked out by Bayern, Athletico Madrid gradually coming up to the dark horse status, very tough to play against them.

Very impressed with Athletico Madrid performance , their goals was beautiful to see, agreed they will be the one to watch and difficult to beat.

[Mick Pattaya]

PSG, Barca, Bayern, Athletico Madrid, 4 teams that have already made it through to QFs. Some heavy duty clashes expected in the next round with Real, Dortmund & Chelsea expected to go through, will have to wait & see if Man Utd  can overturn the 2-0 deficit.
