| Glad we avoided CSKA so we don't have a shed load of travelling around the Chelsea game.
I'm glad our second leg will be at Old Trafford, should make us favourites to progress. If we get to the final, I reckon we'll end up playing Inter.
The good thing about the final been on the Saturday is that it's after I've finished my exams so will be able to have a nice weekend away if we get there.

Catalans vs Salford is the big game of that weekend.

| I'm still tipping Bordeaux for the final.
I've tipped Benfica to win the Europa, so drawing the Reds is the last thing I wanted!

[iThe editorial in the latest edition of Red Issue claims that, ‘The chants all tell how the Glazers are gonna (sic) die, yet in reality they’re free to walk out of the ground unchallenged. Until that changes, nothing will. [/i
[iRather than MUST frittering away £65,000 on some American lobbying agency, that sort of money would be better spent on flying some passionate anti-Glazer supporters to Florida to show Joel (Glazer) & Co the strength of Reds’ feeling in person.’ [/i
I can't quite see where that says they are advocating physical intimidation but I do agree that it hints at a split between the United fans wanting rid of the Glazers. Thoughts?
Liverpool on the other hand:
[iOther supporters, though, have taken direct action against Hicks and Gillett, too, including the launch of a viral email sent to several executives at RBS, the club’s bankers. [/i
Fairly embarrassing TBH.

| Thats Hull and Burnley as good as gone now too. Would be shocked if either survive.
Arsenals win is great for the neutral. A three horse race will make better viewing. Feel Chelsea and Utd may edge ahead in the coming weeks though.
Spurs are in a healthy position for forth but not a great result for Villa.
Tomorrow could be a defining day in PL title race and battle for 4th.

Sticking with Hull City, Burnley, Portsmouth as my bottom 3.
Still think Liverpool will get 4th.
Title?... What a run in it's going to be!

| Brian Laws last 21 games in management W 1 D 3 L 17. Still amazes me he got a premiership job. How many managers could go from being in charge of a struggling Championship club to a Premiership club?

TBH Brian Laws and the Burnley job are a very good fit. The Burnley job is a hiding to nothing, Brain Laws had pretty much nothing left to lose.
It's not like Burnley would have a large or decent choice in who takes them back to the Championship.

I would have thought that everyone in the draw was praying to get CSKA.'"
They may look the weakest on paper but they're not a bad team. When they came to Old Trafford and got a 3-3 draw in the group stages they played well and I think Fergie underestimated them with the team he put out and it nearly backfired on him. It's a cliche, but at this stage, there is no easy games.

I'm a bit indifferent on the race for fourth. On the one hand, I would like Liverpool to miss out but not if it means City get it. Hopefully Spurs or Villa will pip them both. In an ideal world, would love Everton to get it as that would really irritate Liverpool fans

We'll only compete for fourth once Moyes realises that the season starts in August.
Would like too see Spurs get it but then again i'm not Wedknapp's biggest fan, he thinks he triffic enough without taking Tottenham to the CL.
Will be a great race either way.

Almost as baffling as the Iain Dowie one. Surprised Curbs never got approached for either.
There are a few 'average' managers knocking around the PL though.

| I expect Liverpool to finish 4th. I'd love Spurs to do it though. I wonder if the City fans(Cibaman, as he's the only one who posts when they haven't just won a game) will be gutted of they don't make it? I know Hughes said his goal at the start was top 6, but surely expectations have been raised.

'Curbs' certainly has a meatier CV.
Have Dowie or Laws ever taken a Premier League side down?

Part of my hope that they don't make the top 4 is based upon it being harder for them to recruit if they aren't a CL side.
TBH, if Citeh are willing to blow money in a Tevez fashion, finishing 4th might not actually make that much difference.
I thought top 4 was too much of a jump this season. I think they were mad for getting rid of Hughes when he was making a clear improvement in the side. But having got rid of Hughes, it's pretty obvious that not finishing in the top 4 will be a failure.
Should Citeh fans be gutted if they don't do it? IMO not really. ATM they are just at the start of a journey which should see them becoming one of the powers of English football. They should be enjoying the experience that the Sheikh has given them, not fretting all the way that they're not getting there quickly enough.

But Curbishley also has a recent history of shafting a club because everything didn't go his way. That's unlikely to endear him to any PL chairmen.
Dowie most definitely will have taken a PL side down. This will be Laws first and only experience of managing in the PL. Having PL experience will probably help him in the eyes of Championship and League One clubs, where he'll be lucky to be in the future.

Meatier was intended to cover the walkout at Charlton. Neither Laws nor Dowie have taken a Prem club down[size=50 of course that will all change come the end of May.[/size

Dowie was in charge of C.Palace when they got promotion in 2003/2004 and was still there when they got relegated the year after IIRC !?!
