My prediction for Champions League winners has been and will continue to be AC Milan - a class team everywhere on the pitch.

Chelsea, however, I would predict to make the final - but Monaco, and French football as well, have improved vastly over the previous few years. Once French teams were generally only average in terms of European competition - this year both Marseille and Monaco have made strong progress.

Nonsense, Marseille should have been out in the 3rd round when they cheated their way past Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.

They are sh*t.

33-1 I had on Chelsea to be losing at half-time and then to come back and win in 90 minutes.

I was pretty happy when Bridge struck that winner.

Chelsea to beat Porto in the final.

At last the dickheads at UEFA scrapped the silly 2nd group phase and now we have some interesting teams left in instead of sodding Milan, Real, Bayern, Man U.

To be honest I don't care who wins but I'll be watching the final this year, unlike last year when I switched on the penalities just to watch Shevchenko.

My prediction of Milan to win wasn't that good was it Embarassed.

Seems like Chelsea should win it easily now, and I agree they'll beat Porto in the final. Deportivo are too inconsistant for me to win it (the 8-3 scoreline against Monaco is a perfect example of this).

Anyone see Ranieri nearly in tears at the final whistle?


Fast becoming one of my all time favourite football characters.
