Gooners all the way! Our displays thus far have been very inconsistent, but hopefully we can get a good run of play going. We are still hurting for a true commanding CB, we are getting lit up on set pieces. And I'm all for Ramsey starting in CM alongside Cesc. Denilison and Song have struggled, so give the young lad a chance.

So what do you think your chances are at Stamford Bridge tonight? Nearly the whole of Chelsea's first team are injured - Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Essien, Ballack and Drogba all out, Cech, Joe Cole and Deco maybe fit. Id still say 2-0 to Chelsea.

Wow, I had no idea. We've had a pretty crowded treatment room as well. Totti hasn't played in 6 months, although played well on his return against Inter. No Baptista. I'm glad Panucci and Mexes are back. Juan and Pizarro are rumored to be ready which would be a big help. That being said, we've had a miserable start both domestically and in the CL. I'm still looking forward to the match. We've already visited White Hart Lane for a friendly earlier this fall

Anyway, Forza Roma - sempre. Attachment 14075

that vid gets good about 25 seconds into it. i went to a u.c.l.a. basketball game last season. the game was tied with about 10 seconds left, and the people behind me yelled at me to sit down. i haven't been able to see any matches so far but as always i'll be pulling for inter. my second team this year will be atletico madrid, because of aguirre and aguero.

I'm going to go Chelsea 2-0 Roma.

Facing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is never any easy fixture. Chelsea needs the win to qualify cleanly and will come out motivated. Deco, J.Cole, Anelka, and Kalou we'll take care off business tonight.

If Inter can't pull off the double this year then they should really hang it up. They've got Samuel, Dacourt, Chivu AND Mancini, for chrissakes....

with the exception of chivu, the most useless players on the team.

tottenham finally won today hours after firing juande ramos. watch them turn it around and finish top 5.

Damn Levy for firing Ramos and hiring Redknapp. Tottenham winning has ruined my favorite joke for the last few weeks. What is the difference between Tottenham and a triangle? A traingle has more points.

and you've been telling that joke in baltimore?

The lads come through. Fine effort!

Final games for the group stage. Our group is still up for grabs...

edit* Looks like only A & B matches are of interest. C(?), D, E, F, G and H are set.

Yeah, Roma really turned it around after that awful start--still struggling in the league though.

My team Barca are playing Shakhtar at the Camp Nou, and I'm just hoping for no injuries with el Clasico coming up this weekend.

I feel bad for Panathinaikos and Anothorsis, one of them will miss out. I was really wishing Inter wouldn't make it through.

 

[matadorpoeta]

my inter lost in germany today. they are very inconsistent, and the coach has made some very strange formation choices, sometimes playing 4 strikers at the same time. we'll be getting a top team in the next round and i'll be weary of another early exit.
