Damn somehow I missed this. One prediction, Arsenal advances with a draw at Higbury today.

Too nervous to make predictions. Go Arsenal!

Arsenal lose 3-0 at home while Liverpool demolish Benfica 17-1 (og Steve Finnan) and once again is forced to carry the expectations of the nation on its shoulders.

Not to pick nits, but shouldn't this actually be in the Lockerroom?

At least you're not nit picking. It wouldn't make any difference to me if it's moved, deleted, discussed or ignored.

JJ was veeeery close, but Liverpool lose 2-0 to exit. trox was exactly right! 0-0 and Arsenal go through on the goal by Henry in the first leg. Arsenal are now the last remaining EPL representative. GO GUNNERS!

What a crappy round for the Reds! Not even able to score one freaking time and this has been the story since the holidays--no Liverpool striker has gone net in that time--meaning, for me, Benitez has to come up with an answer or answer for it. My predictions from that previous thread: Liverpool, Barcelona, WBremen, Milan, Arsenal, Villareal, Lyon, and Inter. Results: Six correct in Barcelona, Milan, Arsenal, Villareal, Lyon, and Inter (assuming they win the home tie).

Time for Arsenal to follow the Liverpool plan. Why the hell did they leave Ronaldo on the pitch. Toure owned him all match. I'm definitely for further predictions.
