I hope Ranieri stays, he's done a good job and been really unlucky with injuries.
Any team with Veron, Duff and Crespo will suffer when they are missing, they are great players.
Pity it's not Arsenal v Real Madrid and Chelsea v Monaco, both Madrid and Monaco are wobbling like jellies.

I agree, Ranieri is doing a good job and yet he`s treated like something you brought in on the bottom of your shoe.
A real gent in my eyes.

I dont know whats happening at Real, they are certainly not playing well. Some punters even say that Monaco will do the business. Should be interesting.

[Shevchenko]

Monaco have just let slip a seven-point lead in France and Lyon have caught up with them.
Lokomotiv murdered Monaco, and would have gone through were it not for two illegal (one offside, one dive) goals.
I think Chelsea have a chance against Arsenal (though I hope I'm wrong). Gronkjaer had a decent goal disallowed last time, and anyone capable of scoring two away goals at Highbury can put Arsenal out.

Being realistic Monaco should not stand a snowball in hells chance of beating Real, but then you never know......... when a teams not playing well..........

Regarding Arsenal, the longer they go unbeaten the more the pressure. Wenger of course knows all about pressure and he will motivate his players for the games against Chelsea. I wont predict this one as all my recent predictions have been so i will just sit on the fence.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa they did it again today...a whopping big 5 - 2 win !!

[Babzzii]

A win today against Spurs but it was only 1 - 0, but then again another
three points in the bag !!

[mykfin]

UEFA gave Desailly a three match ban today for giving Morientes the elbow in the 1st leg of the semi,s of the Champions League against Monaco on Tuesday. Ranieri made a right mess up of the subs which will give Kenyon more reason for getting rid...... time will tell.

[Babzzii]

Well Chelsea made a right mess of that match..I do wonder if they can
win the home game...on that performance I definately think NOT !!

[Babzzii]

Now we are well into the season and look who is top, wonder if it will
stay that way !!

[Babzzii]

Doing well still !!
