Roma KOed Madrid.......:bsmilie: Hmmm.......Man Utd Vs Roma? :devil:
Harh...sian...will be a tough tie if it comes to that.
There will be no easy tie in the quarter-finals. All clubs that qualified are strong. Maybe Fenerbahce and Schalke 04 are easier but it seems like Man Utd dun have lucky draws these days when it comes to cup competitions. The FA cup draws are killers.....
Arsenal
Barcelona
Chelsea
Fenerbahce
Inter Milan/Liverpool
Man Utd
Roma
Schalke 04
I don't mind if we meet Roma again. Afterall, we have a psychological edge over them having overcome them twice - one with a big margin (7-1).:bsmilie:

Bro, not everyday sunday can 7-1 win....
We have so many outstanding International quality player like Ronaldo, Vidic, Evra, Nani...Anderson....Infact I fancy our chance against foreign team.....local team will be very hard and a little sianz.....except Liverpool...this one sure chop :thumbsup:
Talking about Liverpool, I read a post in another forum where one of their supporters predicted a 7-0 win over Newcastle. Just because Newcastle is on a losing streak coupled with the fact that we have beaten them twice by a big score, they too believe they can do it. They are not in the same league as us in EPL and I honestly doubt they can beat the Magpies by such a margin. That guy must be dreaming when he made the prediction. :bsmilie::bsmilie:

United are considering a number of enquiries from Championship clubs to take Ben Foster on loan until the end of the season.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper returned from a serious knee injury for Uniteds reserves on Thursday this week, coming through the entire 90 minutes. Having suffered no adverse reaction, Sir Alex Ferguson is eager to challenge Foster with regular first-team football. And it appears there is no shortage of offers.
I was hoping he would come through the Reserve match last night because there is a consideration for us to put him out on loan with a Championship club until the end of the season, confirmed Sir Alex.
Ill have a chat with him early next week, but weve already had a few enquiries for him from the Championship and I think it would be good for him. We will consider all these options at the beginning of next week.
Foster is certainly highly-rated, both at United and for England, and news of his return has raised the prospect of the former Stoke City shot-stopper challenging for the number one spot with both club and country.
He came through the game without any problems, added Sir Alex. We are very pleased because he is a fantastic prospect. Everyone recognises that he is potentially the top goalkeeper England have available. I think he is above them all.
It would have been yet another selection dilemma for me if Ben had been available this season. The experience and performances of Edwin van der Sar, and even Tomasz Kuszczak. Next season I will have that dilemma about who my number one choice will be. But challenging and competition is a good thing, and I look forward to that.
Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are both likely starters for United's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Portsmouth on Saturday lunchtime.
Despite a sublime display in the Reds' win at Fulham last weekend, Scholes found himself on the bench for the Champions League victory over Lyon. Sir Alex admitted it was a tough decision to leave out the midfielder and insisted he will be back in action for the Cup clash.
Giggs is fit again after a calf injury ruled him out of United's last two matches and looks set to return to the starting eleven against Pompey.
Everyone is fit for Saturday, and I have a difficult choice to make," said Sir Alex. "That seems to be the norm at the moment. But that is something I relish and am happy to do. Without that squad we wouldnt be in the position we are in now.
"Scholesy will play against Portsmouth," he added. "His performance against Fulham was vintage. It wasn't easy to leave him out against Lyon."
Meanwhile, Gary Neville and Mikael Silvestre are both continuing to make good progress with their recovery from long term ankle and knee injuries respectively.
"Gary and Mikael are on a good programme now," said the boss. "I am pretty positive about them. Gary has been much better and its a matter now of sticking to that framework of what were doing with them. We want to make sure he doesnt have any niggling recurrences of the small injuries that have been holding him back."
