I think a few people underestimate Porto some what! They are a very good side when they have the ball, and they showed it. Benni Mccarthy is one of the best strikers in world and again he showed that. So Porto turning United over is not a massive suprise to me.

Yeah i think many people under-estimated Porto but at the same time United should be looking to get a draw minimum in places like that because Porto aren't one of the top challengers.
I can't say McCarthy is one of the best strikers in the world though.He's still at least a class below Henry,RvN,Ronaldo e.t.c. |

We'll win at OT but Phil Neville and Paul Scholes were absolutely awful. Roy Keane should have played centre back what a great example he was to the Man U youngsters that he cried about.

Again with that being shíte a few years ago when he was on the market Villa were the only team to express an interest and we wouldn't pay what they wanted so basically not one premiership team wanted him

If he was all that great he'd be at a better club its simple, look at Jardel brillinat for Porto shít pretty much everywhere else. McCarthy is a average player in a poor leauge

Back to Baros, he performs on an international basis for the Czech Republic, something McCarthy has never done for South Africa. Plus Baros has only just got back, I wouldn't mind if we sold Owen as long as we kept Baros. |

Baros is just as good as McCarthy if not better and you don't buy players who aren't better than what you have. Owen is 10 times better.

It was Cheyrou
He was good when we first bought him, but since then he's just gone constantly backwards, its a joke that he gets in the England team ahead of Smith, Beattie and Defoe |

As much as I dislike Heskey, I dont think he's that bad when he plays for England. He is a powerfull man upfront and does hold the ball well, its just his finishing which lets him down, and sometimes his balance. The point is, Defoe, Owen, Rooney and Beattie are all quite small in build, ok not Rooney but he is still young, so Heskey gives Beckham and Co something to aim for when trying a fifty yarder. If I remember rightly it was Heskey who set up Rooneys first goal for England, so i guess what I am saying is, I would probably pick Heskey over Beattie and Defoe

All that talk about Porto and not one mention of either Deco or Paulo Ferreira, both of whom would walk into any Premiership side, including Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea.
That Brazilian guy, Carlos Alberto I think, is brilliant too. Dangerous team, Porto. Don't think they'll travel well though. United need to start with Ronaldo. The other games for the English sides are foregone conclusions: both to go through. I fancy Bayern to knock Real Madrid out. Even if they don't, Madrid are far too weak behind their frount 5 to win the competition. |

Defense looks weak but looked a tad better today (still not good enough) but I think we will still do the business on Tuesday night.

Doesn't matter how big Heskey is if he never actually uses his bulk. He rarely does, effectively. He gets knocked down far too easily.

United to win this game but not sure of the tie. Porto will be waiting for them and if they can counter attack effectivly against a pi>ss poor United defence then they could score.
United 2-1 Porto. United to go through in the end though. |

Lyon knocked out Sociedad, no real surprise there.
Chelsea knocked out Stuttgart, again not really surprised although I didn't think it'd come down to 1 goal being the difference. Deportivo have knocked out Juventus ![]() |

Just a question:
Did chelsea have a shot on target the whole tie? I mean, their goal in the first leg was an own goal and i haven't seen them have a shot on target |
