Of Wembley in May, Is it fate that wembley is the venue of the final on the year we our in the champions league?

Or do you feel our dream run will come to an abrupt end sooner rather than later?

Would like to know some other fans thoughts, i genuinly believe we have a chance.

I believe we can get there, but I don't think we will. If the draw is kind to us, and we make it to the semi's, from there anything can happen. Avoid Barca and the rest we can take on IMO. Arsenal are lucky they've come accross a Barca hitting a cold patch. They struggled again last night at home to Athletic Bilbao, Llorente played really well btw, just saying.

I firmly believe we have what it takes.

I'm still scared we'll blow it against Milan. They score early doors, shut up shop and play for penalties. I'm just a born pessimist. Will watch the whole game through my fingers...

I think any early goal will benefit us. If Milan score it, the crowd will spur on the boys and we'll up the tempo. If we score, it's all but over.

The longer the game drags on 1-0 on aggregate however, the more edgy we will become, the more attacking Milan will get and we might be penned back. One stupid mistake by a defender (let's face it, alot of them could make it) or by Harry (i.e taking off Lennon for Sandro with 25 minutes to go) and we could be in the shits.

I firmly believe it's down to us, and thats good. If we play well, we'll hammer them. But if we are shakey, and Milan are up for it, which they will be, we could be facing a turnaround.

We've just got to take it one game at a time. The next game is Milan, beat them then focus on the next game.

One things for sure is that we'll need a our fair share of luck along the way (both in matches and in the draws)

This is how I see it.

We have the players to beat anyone, but then you could say that about several of the teams left in the competition.

I'll focus on Milan, and only if we get passed them and I see the draw for the next two rounds will I assess our chances of winning the bloody thing.

This. Totally.

Too early to be focusing on winning the competition. We're all very happy with what we've done. From here on, anything we do is a bonus IMO. Obviously it would be guttering to lose to Milan, however the main aim is to maintain CL status through a PL finish.

What does the year end in? TWO ones. It's an omen.

Yeah, just like we did so well in 1911 :razz:

I'm enjoying our Champions League run, long may it continue, but we won't win it.

Are the 1/4 and semi draws done at the same time? Not really paid any attention to it before!

I believe Arse might do us a favour at the Camp Nou. They're capable of getting a result at Barca, no Pique, imo, the only classy Barca defender!

Barca are the only team I am fearful of. With VdV, Bale and Modric, we have three players who can win any game for us. Crouch is also a big match winner in Europe!!

4 wins in a row. without bale and hudd and mostly without modric. if we can just beat AC at the Lane that is already an awesome showing in the CL.

So wouldn't you fear the team that knocked out the team you fear?
