I feel well gutted because if we would have beat Scunthorpe we would have been playing manchester city in the 3rd round

Yeah i'm a Gills supporter mate been going for 15 years now, proud of it as well.

To be honest we were not strong enough for the championship and it was hard to take watching us lose week in week out, this season we havent been great but last couple of games we have had two brilliant results.

[Dan_]

Well we put up a good fight but lost 2-0, 2nd goal was not a corner . At least we played some good stuff 2nd half and Stamp's back from injury.

[BigSister]

aww no that sucks Dan

[Jay]

Yeah unlucky

[Jay]

Thats better Man United back on track 4-0 all i can say is now c'mon Arsenal

[Mike]

It was a good performance from United, they HAD to win that one really.

[Jay]

yeah totally agree and if Arsenal beat Chelsea and we beat Villa then the title is wide open

[Dan_]

Anyone watching the Liverpool game? 3-0 already, Crouch has scored 2 and Gerrard 1.

[Jay]

I watched it. It was strange watching a live match at that time in the morning, and the atmosphere in the stadium was muted, to say the least. It was a walk in the park though, and we rarely needed to go beyond first gear. The final will be a tougher game, though. But it would be nice to add that last remaining piece of silverware to the biggest collection in England, whether it's seen as a Mickey Mouse trophy or not. Did you see the clips of their goalie? Very strange choice for set pieces!

And it's the Champions' League draw later today, too. We could face any of the following:

Bayern Munich
Ajax
Werder Bremen
Benfica
PSV Eindhoven
Real Madrid
Rangers

I don't think that we have anything to fear with any of those teams, but it would be a shame if we got a weak side like Werder Bremen or Rangers. I want a little more excitement in return for my £30 come the second leg at Anfield. Benfica shouldn't be too much of a problem either, but it would be nice to show manure how it should be done. But there are few finer sights in football than watching Beckham thoroughly humiliated only yards away from you. Not since March 2003 have I had that glorious treat to behold. The atmosphere at Anfield would be electric if we were playing Real Madrid.

I'd love to see Chelsea draw Barcelona, too. Barca would tear them apart.

[Jay]

I think the two hardest games Liverpool can get is Real Madrid or Bayern Munich and im sure the atmosphere would be great if Rangers went to Anfield

[CharlotteSometimes]

Real Madrid are a mess right now, so they're not the risk they once were. Their form in the coming months will depend a lot on their managerial situation. And PSV would worry me more than Bayern. The atmosphere will be great whichever team we draw, unless we go into the tie having already (as good as) won it in the away leg. But Rangers aren't a mouth-watering proposition at all. They'll bring more supporters along than most of the others could muster, but the atmosphere in the ground would be similar to playing Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup.

It was very odd, I had just got out of bed and went straight into watching a live game. That Saprissa only had about 2 good players and the keeper was a clown. Good to see Crouch scoring again and Josemi actually played well and Cisse was not selfish and played one of his better games as a result. Plus the defence now have a new record for clean sheets. Sao Paulo will be a tougher test but I can see us winning it by the odd goal and another trophy, that will be everything now!

I'm pretty pleased with our champions league draw, will be a bit odd if Simao's playing for them after coming so close to joining us, we may even sign him before the game's.

Tough draw for Arsenal and Chelsea, but both should be good games to watch.The last 8 will be-Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Villareal, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Lyon.

[Jay]

I think the teams that will go threw are Barcelona, Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Lyon, Liverpool and Rangers

[Legend]

I was in school but had p.e 2nd lesson and teacher put the match on for us!

Then had to listen to the 2nd half in 3rd lesson in maths.

Crouch 2 again eh!?! And wat a great strike by Gerrard!!

I will have to buy a scanner then i scan all me pics with footie players! Well with 3 lol. Jamie Carragher, Stevie Gerrard and Robie Fowler (quite a few years back)

How much are scanners? I will get one after christmas!

Back on topic - C'mon Liverpool!

[CharlotteSometimes]

Sorry Jamie - I know that everyone's opinion is equally valid, and girls aren't supposed to understand football - but those are pretty strange predictions! Rangers maybe, at a push. But I've got to disagree with you as far as AC Milan & Inter Milan are concerned.

Fernzy, I agree with your predictions, except maybe Arsenal. Playing the second leg at home may be the slight advantage that swings it for them, though. The Chelski vs. Barcelona match should be pretty close, but Chelski can't score at the moment, and Essien won't be available as he'll be serving his much deserved two match ban.

[James]

Villareal was probably the best possible draw for us, not that it will be easy though.

[Mike]

Totally gutted about getting Barcelona, no doubt it will be an excellent game.

Got to try and get tickets off my mate now which wont be easy.
