Nice Fixtures,
Beckham returns to Old Trafford!
Barca and Bayern get easy fixtures comparatively.
I hope Real get knocked out

Oh and Jose to Stamford Bridge

Stuttgart v Barcelona:
Barcelona will easily go through. Can see them getting quite a few goals in the process.


Olympiakos v Bordeaux:
Weakest team out of the 16 against a very good side under Blanc which went through the group beating Bayern and Juventus. Only one winner. Watch out for Gourcouff.


Inter Milan v Chelsea:
Jose Mourinho vs his old team. The toughest match of the knockout stage. Two time CL winner Carlo Achelloti against the Special one. Should be an exciting battle this one. I think Chelsea will knick it in the end with the second draw at Stamford Bridge being a big advantage. Watch out for Drogba from Chelsea and Eto'o from Inter.


Bayern Munich v Fiorentina:
Difficult one to call. Fiorentina have won their group by ousting European 'Giants' Liverpool while Bayern came off beating Juventus by four goals in Turin. Toughest match to call. I'd edge with Bayern for their experience in the CL.

CSKA Moscow v Seville:
Moscow look an average side except for that Krasic bloke. He'll have to carry the team through against Seville. I'd say Seville look good enough to go through.

Lyon v Real Madrid:
Ronaldo will take them through to the Quater's single handedly. Benzema's return to Lyon should be an interesting one.

FC Porto v ARSENAL:
Could go either way but Arsenal are far superior and talented and should do the job at the Emirates.


Predictions:
Barca
Bordeaux
Chelsea
Bayern
Seville
Madrid
Arsenal

Do you think so? Well I better not show, you where the lemonade is made, ooh sweet lemonade, lemonade, yeah sweet lemonade.

Sevilla out. Lost at home 1-2. Chelsea out. Lost 0-1 at the Bridge. Drogba sent off.

Tonight Barca play Stuggart and Bordeux play Olympiakos.

CSKA, the underdogs through, and Chelsea with all their "Blue Blood" and "Up the Chels" (doesnt it sound like the fans are actually saying "Up yours" to the CFC? ) couldnt go through. Muhahahahahaha!


Bordeaux should go through. Blanc. Barca - dicey cant say for sure. Their Liga BBVA form has been cracky till the 3-0 win and you never know.

Chelsea

I've never ever read the Blue Blood and Up the Chels phrases before. Is it used by your orkut muppets? If so then it's not much worth really as they are in fact....muppets.

Blue Blood and Up the Chels is a quite common rantering.
