Chelsea to win is as plain as day to me. After Droggie's funny five minutes, All bodes well. The boys took the mick out of him and he responded with a fine goal away from home. The Team are knitting back together and will give thier fans more to cheer about, Especially against Schalke.
They have started to score and expect to go farther than Arsenal and will silence the Dinamo crowd early on. Manchester United are the team to beat at the moment and could replace Barca as favourits.
Porto 7 out of 7 in Portugal must represent a Banker in this fixture. Ok Marsielle beat Liverpool at home, So what. Liverpool are playing well below par, Whereas Porto are on top of thier game and will take only one conceded goal in 7 weeks too France.
In the early game tonight CSKA and Inter are playing like Champions in thier own Leagues. Inter are probably one of the few teams in Italy that have settled down in the new season. You will see Inter with a depleted defence due to Bans, So i expect alot of cover coming from the midfield hence a draw would be a good result for them. CSKA are well prepared with what appears a formidable squad. They are on high after thier National sides success and would look set to keep Russian enthusiasum high. With a good home advantage i can see a home win on the cards.
Rooney and Tevez up front. Take Rooney to score at anytime during match at 2.4.
Scholes is out.
Fabriegas to score 2.6.
Don't write of Rangers, They knocked in 3 against Celtic over the weekend and at around 5.0 are worth a bet. However small.
Lyon are good value at 2.4.
Fabregas. Rooney. Man U. Lyon. All produced the goods. CSKA threw it away. Rangers had some chances.
Liverpool will be going for 3 points and should see off Bes.
Ok Jiggy. If you check my posts you will see i concentrate mainly on English Leagues. But that does'nt mean i give any less consideration to any other.
My attitude towards Champion league is. Each team will play the best players availiable. Thier game will rise a little above domestic. Marselle are not playing at all well in Domestic and were fortunate to play Liverpool also well below par. Porto are at the moment unbeatable if they raise thier game, They will hammer the french. As you see i have committed in favour of Porto. But if thier is any change of Squad or form that i think will or could effect the end result I will post asap. If i realy get going i may give the scorers. Let your fingers do the walking and your results do the talking.
