Manchester United vs AC Milan
Tonights Pick
Manchester United vs AC Milan
TG Above 2 1/4
An interesting semi final awaits as potential EPL Champions Man Utd with an under-strength defence entertain an AC Milan boasting attacking firepower that will undoubtly give the visitors a good chance to grab a few important goals.

After last night's games my record looks like this
Current Record.
P=2, W=0, D=0.5, L=1.5
Hehe ... not a record to be proud of... My journey of a thousand steps begins with a backward start.
Anyway the 4 teams that are left in the tournament have been a class above the rest.
Manchester United's demolition of Roma resemble the way games were played in the 1930's where free scoring prevailed over defensive tactics. Giggs, Ronaldo, Smith, Carrick and Rooney were in marauding form as they teased the Roma defence with nearly every siege of attack producing a goal. Roma's hard earned result in Rome was virtually wiped out in 20 minutes at Old Trafford. Looks like Totti will have to eat his words criticsing the way English Football is played and comments that Roma will outgun United over the two Legs.
Chelsea meanwhile showed us that sustained pressure, a little bit of luck and never giving up will bring about success if we just kept trying. Essien's winner in the 90th minute looked GOD-Sent considering the fact that they look relieved to be only 0-1 down when the first half ended. Had Shevchenko missed his shot or Morientes had scored another in the first half, the Semi-Finals line up will not had featured 3 English Teams.
AC Milan on the other hand showed that you could win games with a good solid defence and brilliant individual skills with Seedorf, Kaka and Inzaghi running the show. The German fans at one point of time sounded so quiet you might have thought that they were playing in an empty stadium and the players look dejected after the 2nd goal. Only Van Bommel turned up for Bayern Munich in this match.
Liverpool basically qualified to the Semifinals based on last week's brilliant performance. The game was just played at half pace and PSV did not troubled Reina much except for an attempt by Farfan in the opening minutes. Crouch's goal has once again proved that this gentle giant has more to offer rather than just being a ball winner in the air.
The line up for the semis brings about an anticipation of another round of mouth watering ties. Chelsea and Liverpool (they've played each other more than any other team, the players must be getting sick of each other) renew their rivalry in the Champion's League. Meeting for the 5th time, we can't blame the players having the feeling of dejavu, at least the Liverpool players are hoping for a similar outcome of their 2003 Champion's League Semi-Finals Match.
Manchester United and AC Milan meanwhile will showcase 2 of the most brilliant players in the world today. with Ronaldinho somehow suffering a drop in form the past year, Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka had stepped up into the world stage with exceptional performances for their respective teams in the current season. Ronaldo has been tearing defences apart with his blistering runs, mesmerising step overs and an eye for the goal has made him virtually untouchable for the opposition team. At the other end Kaka has been a revelation for the Milan team. Not blessed with the speed of Ronaldo, however Kaka does possess superb footwork to outfox opposing defenders and blessed with superb vision of the game to produce defence splitting passes that often brings about positive results for Milan.
This year's Champion's League is one of the most exciting in recent years. Should the remaining 4 teams play to their true potential, there'll be no doubt that fans will be treated to a cracker in the remaining 5 matches.

Fulham Sacks Chris Coleman
Chris Coleman has been sacked as Manager of Fulham Football club following a string of results that has brought them to the relegation fight. With 10 years of service (3 years at the helm of the club), the shock departure looked so impossible at the beginning of the season with the club expecting to finish in the mid table or possibly an European spot. However with the club having a mediocore season and more recently a big blip in their form and fans turning against Coleman, the axe had to drop on the Manager.
Personally I would have want him to continue as Fulham Manager as he is one of the few young guns in the Premiership that look capable of managing a big club in the not too distant future. However with the season coming to an end and where the stakes are too high in this unforgiving job where past records do not matter, Fulham would not take this big gamble as a drop to the English League Championship will bring about severe financial consequences to the club.
His replacement Lawrie Sanchez currently at the helm of the Northern Ireland national team is not popular also does possess the pedigree of someone like Mourinho or Benitez and already fans are calling for the head of the new Manager. The Fulham fan message board is swarmed with messages asking the Fulham board to look for another replacement instead of Lawrie. Meanwhile the Ireland FA are insisting that Lawrie will just at the moment be the caretaker coach of Fulham and will resume his duties with the FA once the 5 Fulham games that he is going to manage are played out. Watch this space for more updates as I take a catnap now and prepare for The Champion's League tonight.

Current Record.
P=0, W=0, D=0, L=0
Tonight's Star Pick:
Liverpool vs PSV.
Total Goals Above 2.25
A dejected PSV will like to redeem some pride with some attacking football tonight. Expect Liverpool to exploit PSV's defensive weakness with Bellamy and Crouch in marauding form.
Bayern Munich vs AC Milan
Total Goals Above 2.25
The tie of the Round. Two heavyweights going against each other. Big bang expected with goals to keep you on the edge of your seats. All out attacking football with Milan relying on the ever productive Kaka to carve open the Bayern defence. Industrial Germans will rely on teamwork against the individual flair of Milan.
