STRANGEDUCK'S OPINION

-This year Barcelona are looking the best team in Europe.
-Liverpool put 4 past a comical Real and a careless Man U recently and have the "we can beat anyone" mentality.
-Chelski with Essien back in the team look stronger.
-The Arsenal kids survived a penalty shootout in Rome. They could go further.
-Manchester United strolled past Inter. Don't be fooled by the 1-4 recent scoreline.
-Porto's away form is tragic. They got thrashed easily by Arsenal 4-0 in the group stages.
-Villareal couldn't beat Panathinaikos. The same team that was ridiculed by Panserraikos.
-Bayern Munich surprised everyone with their goal scoring record against Sporting. Against Barcelona? No chance.

My predicition is that Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona are going through.
Sorry Livepool fans but I can't see it happening for you this year. I am simply not convinced that you can win it. Feel free to diss me with your comments.
