COME ON YOU GUNNERS! Take It to that judas vieira. I will never stop smiling, if he left arsenal to win the champions league, and his former knocked his ass out of the competition.
W00t w00t fuck Juve. |
vieira didn't voluntarily leave arsenal rather, it was wenger who sold him to juventus because he figured 14 million pounds was a good amount to cash in on vieira and he has publicly admitted that he made a mistake by doing so. I still dont understand why he would sell his captain who is probably as important to the team as henry without first having a replacement in mind. Fabregas and Flamini have a lot of potential but it will be atleast a couple of years before they can play at the same level.
Now on to the predictions:
1) Arsenal vs Juventus - My most despised teams in England and Italy respectively should provide an entertaining clash neverthless. Arsenal play all out attacking football while Juventus soak up the pressure and are fantastic on the counter attack. Juventus is going to win the scudetto for sure this season and Arsenal seem to be gelling well as a team and are playing by far their best football of the season. However, I reckon Juventus are going to be to much for Arsenal to handle and will end their fairytail run in the CL. Juventus to win 2-1 at highbury and 1-0 at the Del Appi
2) Benfica vs Barcelona - Benfica might have got the better of Manchester United and Liverpool but no question about it, barcelona are going to thrash them. Barca to win 2-0 away and 3-0 at the Nou Camp
3) Inter vs Villareal - With United and Madrid out, im hoping Inter wins the whole thing. Villareal are performing badly in the Primera Liga but seem to get it together when they play in Europe. Adriano has not been in the best of form in recent times and this will be the perfect opportunity for him to get back his scoring touch. Riquleme should be the biggest threat Inter need to worry about and should they curtail his attacking runs, they should go through to the next round with relative ease. Inter to win 2-0 at the San Siro and drawing 1-1 in the away game.
4) Lyon vs Ac Milan - IMO this is going to be the greatest tie of the quarters. Milan are shaky in the Serie A but seem to get their act together in the CL. Lyon on the other hand have never been an easy team to beat and have had some impressive runs in Europe in recent years. Juninho is going to miss the first game and that might just turn out to be a huge loss for Lyon since Milan's defence is one of the best in the world and Juninho's freekick abilities would have been a constant threat to the Milan goal. I think this one is going to go right down to the wire and may even be decided in penalty kicks. But i say Lyon to win 2-1 at home with Milan going through to the semis with a 3-1 at the San Siro.
