United always make it difficult for themselves....it must be an English thing.
 
 And I would LOVE to see Porto beat Chelski so the Porto manager can say, "I would be frustrated too if I was beaten by a team that was built on only 10% of the budget of mine"    
 
 Arsenal will choke again, they just don't have the stomach for the big time.
 
 If United stay healthy they may have a shot, especially with Rooney, but I still think they need another season before they become invincible again.
 
 Real Madrid should be favourites, but who knows with that lot?...there's a lot of ego's to satisfy there.
 
 Barcelona will be right up there till the end too. It's going to be an interesting one this year.

It's EUROPE you moron...you have to finish colonizing the mid-east before you start on Europe, which would be foolish because they would seriously kick your arses if you can't conquer people who live in tents and use camels for tanks.

Here in South America you have all the games from the Premier League, the Liga, Scudetto... Last Saturday, I saw the game against Norwich City, it seems like Manchester Utd has a young team, you are right, it might take them one more year to be back there with chances of winning the premier league and the Champions League, but they look like they are putting together a very good team. As for Arsenal, let's see, surprised to see this very young player from Barcelona, Cesc, playing for Arsenal and scoring in important games. Glad that Vieira stayed there.
 
 I just hope Madrid is out of the Champions League, I hate their arrogance. As for Barcelona, we are building a new team, like Manchester United, but with Ronaldinho, Puyol, Etoo, Deco...you can expect anything. Fuck, I can´t wait to see the Champions League start again.
