    Ranieri will always have a special place for me for elevating Chelsea to a world power. His coaching us into the Champions League was masterful and was one of the main reason Abramovich even considered buying Chelsea. Which is when the spending and the consistent winning began. But Ranieri has always been known as the tinker man and it will drive people crazy. This matchup was dominated by Drogba. When he's on top of his game he's one of the best forwards out there. Unstoppable with the long pass and a great defensive player. He's a force out there. With Anelka paired with him it makes him even that much more dangerous. Two dangerous forwards out there that have to be respected make a world of difference.

    I am happy with the draw United has. Porto is very good, but I would rather play them than any other team except for Bayern.

    Yeah, hope you're right, but I remember 05 when they embarrassed themselves against PSV. ManU in the SFs would be great, though. Let's hope Cesc and Adebayor are back in April.
    Chelsea-Liverpool and Barca-Bayern are interesting matchups; I for one hope that Liverpool and Barca beat the crap out of their opponents.

    Not to mention that Arsenal almost lost to Villareal in the '06 semis (Thanks Riquelme!).

    But yes, they need Fabregas and Adebayor back in form if they want any chance of winning the Cup.

    And in other news, pretty good stuff for us who live in the states next year regarding the Champions League. Bye bye ESPN

    FSC wins U.S. TV rights to Champions League

    NEW YORK (AP) - Fox Soccer Channel beat out ESPN for right to the European Champions League starting next season, adding the top club event to a lineup that already includes the English Premier League and Italy's Serie A.

    FSC didn't make an immediate announcement, preferring to wait until do ents were signed with the Union of European Football Associations. ESPN, which had held the rights since the 1994-95 season, confirmed the switch.

    "We have been informed by UEFA that they are moving ahead with a new partner in the United States," ESPN said in a statement Monday. "We made a strong bid that we believe would have helped continue the year-to-year growth of the UEFA Champions League in the United States."

    ESPN and ESPN2 are available in 98 million homes and have broadcast Champions League matches in high-definition this season, while FSC reaches 34 million households and has not yet started hi-def telecasts. Also, FSC allows many top Premier League games to be telecast by Setanta Sports, which is not available on many cable systems.

    UEFA, European soccer's governing body, announced March 11 that Fox will replace ESPN as the Champions League pay broadcaster in Central and South America next season under a three-season agreement.

    ESPN averaged 255,000 households for 27 telecasts last season. Manchester United's victory over Chelsea in last May's final was ESPN's most-watched Champions League telecast, with 798,000 homes and 1,097,000 viewers.

    ESPN has rights to the 2010 and 2014 World Cups and U.S. national team games through 2014. It shares Major League Soccer rights with Fox and other networks.

    * Fox will broadcast 31 live and 79 delayed matches on FSC next season.

    * Sixteen games will air on Fox Sports Net on Tuesdays.

    * The final from Madrid on May 22, 2010, will be on FX.

    * Fox Sports en Espanol will broadcast 31 matches live and 63 on delay.

    * Setanta will continue its U.S. coverage of the Champions League under a separate agreement with UEFA, and will televise 94 matches. Fox Soccer Channel will get the top picks.

    * Fox Soccer Channel is considering using the international feed for commentators instead of their own

    * Its coverage will start with the new playoff round on Aug. 18-19 and Aug. 25-26, 2009.

    * FSC also plans to air pregame and highlights shows.

    * Fox hopes that the addition of the Champions League coverage will “get the network positioned onto more broadly distributed tiers and packages.”

    * Fox plans on adding HD telecasts by the end of this year.

    I'm hoping for a Barca-Arsenal finals rematch. Hopefully Arsenal plays along with my wishes.

    Arsenal got back Fabregas and Adebayor, they looked REALLY good over the weekend.

    I hate Liverpool and Man U, but Man U has a gimme and Liverpool is in crazy form.

    Bayern got curb stomped this weekend, but they're still dangerous. However I think the Messi-Eto-Henry attack will be too much, as long as Barca's D holds up.

    Damn, Man U done phucked up! They can win outright, but their form needs to SERIOUSLY improve in the next week.

    Arsenal is in pretty good shape heading back to the Emirates. Fabregas-Adebayor hooked up again for another goal, hope they take care of business next Wed.

    Arsenal got a lucky break with that superb goal by Adebayor. Villareal was way better.

    Here's the goal: http://footballblips.dailyradar.com/...at_villarreal/

    Good result for Arsenal, especially considering how poorly they played in the first half. Really great goal by Adebayor.
