Who'll be kings of Europe?

[Badweather Fan]

AC Milan
Arsenal
Barcelona
Man united
Real Madrid

Who'll win it?

A mon avis, Real Madrid.
They'll stutter, they'll be lazy and they'll just crawl into the quarters.
Then all of a sudden it'll be June(?) and Zidane il be over-headkicking into the ring at Old Trafford.

Is there only five teams left?

[Badweather Fan]

Thought they were the main contenders.
Who do ya have in mind?
Edit to your hearts content.

Ah well, Madrid.

Real, definitely. They've started to find some form domestically, got their European wake-up call against Dortmund and on the principle of lightning not striking twice will be a totally different side from here on.

That said, I'd be very slow to rule out AC Milan.

I think AC and Barca are the most likely (I've given up on Juve at this stage).

AC yes, but, Barca? NO, NO, NO!!! Barca have been very lucky so far in getting drawn with alot of teams who they, and everyone else in the tournament, would fancy themselves against. They haven't impressed me in the least and when faced with ANY half-decent side in the knockout stages, they will rollover and die.

No such luck.
Don't think its necessary though.
Can't see anyone else lifting it.
Anyone fancy Arsenal?

No. Hell, I wouldn't even give United a ghost of a chance.

Thought you might say something like that. Truth is any side who goes to the Nou Camp and lies down as easy as Inter did hasn't the heart/fight/will in them to stand a chance of winning the European Cup. So, no I don't rate Inter and still can't see Barca coming close to doing it.

It's Milan this year....

Could be as I mentioned earlier, but, the fact is if everyone plays their best, and no team who doesn't wins the European Cup, then Real Madrid will win it. Probably be them v AC Milan in the Final, IMO.

If so, would be the best final in yonks.
Hope you're right.

SEJ, how many times have you seen Inter play this season? I've seen them twice in the champions league and I think 3 times in Serie A and bar one match have been very impressed. They certainly have as good a chance as any of the above teams.
Still, Barca are excellent in the CL and you can never rule out Real.

[Real ale Madrid]

Think It could be Arsenal's year. THink they deserve a good run because they play great football.

I hope I'm right also. After all, it's 1998 since two of Europe's true giants contested the European Cup Final (Real v Juve, Real won 1-0).
Real Ale Madrid, IMO Arsenal haven't enough of aclue how to play a holding game, look at the Ajax matches. This will count against them if they have to play one of the potential winners of the tournament.

ild say it will be Real or AC Milan.


Typical irish TV we wont get to see them until the British teams are knocked out or are drawn against them.

Good point horse.
We miss some great European matches so we can watch british tripe like Leverkusen V Newcastle.
So TV3 isn't exactly as rosey as a horses ass despite the lovely eL weekly.
