The Champion league Quarter-final had already been decided



Arsenal vs Villarreal

Man Utd vs Porto

Chelsea vs Liverpool

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich



Quite an interesting draw because Chelsea and Liverpool meet again in the Champion League and surely this is the match that many people will be looking forward to. The winner between the Blues and the Reds will be competing against either Barcelona or Bayern Munich in the Semi-final. Bayern Munich set a new record in the Champion league history after beating Sporting Lisbon 12-1 in 2 legs to proceed into the quarter final.



A return for former Arsenal winger Robert Pires, Arsenal will take on Villarreal. This two side had met before in the 2005/6 Champion league where Riquleme penalty miss allowed Arsenal to go to the final. Finally, Man Utd will be please with the draw as they draw a side which I think is the weakest team of all the 8 clubs, they face Porto which I think by Man Utd standard should had no problem in beating them, but after seeing Man Utd suffers 2 defeat in a row in BPL, definitely anything will happen.





BPL weekend



Dramatic weekend for all the BPL fans. Man Utd suffered another defeat which means they had 2 defeat in row, they lost 2-0 at Cratton Cottage and this is not what Man Utd are looking for. Man Utd midfielder Paul Scholes was senf off after a delibrate hand ball, former liverpool player Danny Murphy scored in the penalty spot in just 18minutes. Man Utd seems to lost the standard this 2 weeks, Ronaldo was very quiet and Fulham really doesn't had any threat Man Utd at the first half. Second half was more of "Fulham defend, Man Utd attack" scenario. At about 80+ minutes, Gera cool finishing really sealed all 3 pts for Fulham. Rooney was sent off afterward to throwing the ball angrily, his second yellow of the night.

Liverpool closed up the gap to only 1pt after hammering Aston Villa 5-0, Steven Gerrard with a hat trick. Liverpool performance ytd was probably the best till now. Aston Villa is one of the top side in BPL and Liverpool won by 5 goal margin really sent a warning message to Man Utd. Liverpool got off with a gd start just 8minutes, Gerrard delivered the ball into the penalty box from a free kick and Kyut scored through a wonderful volley. Aston Villa seems messy and really had show no fighting spirit, they conceded another goal in 33minutes, Reina long pass caught Aston Villa off and Riera slammed into the net. Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard then convert two penalty into goal after reo-coker and Friedel made a mistake inside the penalty box, Friedel in fact was sent off for that challenge, both penalties was scored in 39 and 65minutes. Gerrard in between scored a wonderful free kick.

Arsenal 3-1 win over Newcastle increased the gap by 3pts since Aston Villa had lost ytd. Goals from Bendtner, Diaby and Nasri helped Arsenal to really had a major chance to secure the 4th spot and maybe to go on and get the 3rd spot since Chelsea had lost at White Hart Lane through a Modric wonderful 18 yards goal.

Talk about relegation battle tmr.
