save your money as Arsenal wont lose.

Notts Forest who are in 5th place play Leicester City who are top and are almost certain to be playing in the premiership next season tonight. Should be a close match with Leicester just winning 2-1

I agree that the Milan game is that close,and I see A.Madrid is shorter than I expected on exchanges .............. I think I might have to lay them ,thereby achieving a reasonable value on Milan/Draw??????

I wouldn't Rob but that's just a personal opinion, I think Madrid are quite possibly much the better of the two... but as you wish, like everyone else, I've been wrong with my footie predictions plenty times!

Preparing for Egg on my face....
I make Athletic Madrid a certainty,Milan are priced up on reputation alone,that is a dwindling side.
They will probably have Essien playing(lost pace and ability after bad injury) and that enigma that is Tarrabt.
Lump on AM to progress.
Essien will get booked,if starting.

Surely Man Utd will advance, they couldn't have hoped for an easier opponent

I think that Essien is cup tied.

Man U will find is very difficult to get past the Greek team especially if they don't score in Athens. (now watch United smash in 4 in Athens)

Milan have a number of injury worries ahead of the welcome of Atletico, with the likes of Robinho, Stephan El Shaarawy and Bryan Cristante all sidelined.
Keisuke Honda is ineligible having already played for CSKA Moscow in the competition this season. Riccardo Montolivo and Sulley Muntari are suspended.
Andrea Poli, Daniele Bonera and Urby Emanuelson are expected to come into the starting XI.

WOuldn't go as far as certainties DTF but i agree in general, am on the 3-0,1 upwards trail with Atletico (tu)

Bayern, I wouldn't underestimate anyone left in the comp. It was a decent draw for United but they are playing some very poor stuff this season and there are no mugs at this stage

Why do you think The Bison is cup tied..
He didn't play for Pride Of West London in the group stages.

Sir, I must disagree that there are no mugs still in at this stage. Once the second legs are complete, there will be more than one lop-sided result, and I'm not saying that on the back of the PSG result last night. Getting back to Man Utd, their Champions League pedigree will pull them through comfortably, mark my words. Should they get knocked out by the Greeks, then they are absolute rubbish and should compete in the South African PSL to regain their confidence. By the way, I am not a Man Utd supporter, I just can't see the Greeks rolling them over two legs.
