Should both be great games.

So, who's looking forward to Barca vs Man City and Arsenal vs Bayern?

Barca vs City should be epic. I can see it ending 4-3 or something. Can't wait.

[SKS]

Bring it, bitches. Barcelona will fall.

[prophet]

I reckon City can have a good pop at Barca if Pellegrini gets his tactics right. Arsenal on the other hand not so much, I know they beat Bayern away last year but I can't see them doing it again.

[Kyle]

I definitely think City has a great shot at beating Barca.

[Viazon]

If Sunderland can beat Chelsea, then so can Arsenal.

Arsenal are favourites. Only because Chelsea can't seem to score, especially their strikers. A reason why they won't win the title and why Mourinho will pursue Rooney even more vigorously in the summer.

He'll go for him this window coming... United aren't doing well and he'll push it more to leave I reckon, he's got more chance of winning trophies at Chelsea

Hoping Stoke upset United tonight, should make the cup interesting.

He can but he won't get him. Best hope is we don't make fourth as that will give Rooney the perfect opportunity to jump ship and walk out with a valid reason. He can say "Well we didn't make fourth". But I hope we refuse to sell him to Chelsea/Arsenal.

Tonight's game - horrendous conditions. Play suspended for 10mins in the first half. Stoke could nick one. But could go to penalties after a lifeless first half.

LMAO at Spurs losing to West Ham - who's only striker is Carlton Cole. Honestly I thought Sherwood's line-up was decent, switched it to 4-4-2 with Defoe and Adebayor up front which is the way forward really. To lose 2-1 so late on after being 1-0 up is just another kick in the teeth for Spurs. Big game for them this weekend against Saints.

[PorkChop]

Spurs lost? West Ham have a shocking team at the minute, when you're desperately waiting on Andy Carroll to return to the squad you know you're deep in shit.

[Daz]

Jesus, Spurs really are a sinking ship.

[AkydefGoldberg]

The most unexpected week of goalscorers: Welbeck, Cleverley, Young, Adebayor and Evra.

Evra scored quite a few goals for us last season but this one was the first with his right!

Spurs brought back Adebayor - Levy was probably happy that his selection request got done by one of his men than AVB - just sums up how they are struggling for goals.

Saints won't be an easy and I'm expecting them to batter them.

Evra: "I only use the right foot to get on the bus!"

Solid semi-final draw - it'll be a two legged tie so hopefully it might give players a chance to play like Young but I think Moyes will play a strongish side for the first leg, try and be comfortable for OT.

Manchester final awaits if all goes well.

Apparently Defoe is set to join Toronto FC after receiving a phone call from Drake and being offered a lucrative offer which includes unlimited paid for flights for him and his family, £90,000 a week and two houses

Hold on, what the fuck.

[AkydefGoldberg]

Might harm his England chances potentially. Still got something to offer in PL but the perks of the job eh?

[PorkChop]

If I got a phonecall from someone claiming they were Drake offering me two houses, I'd probably hang up, no matter how rich I was. Has 'scam' written all over it

Bugger his England chances, get your arse to America, Jermaine.

Worked for Beckham for years, but then again the FA always had a boner for him.
