Champions League 2nd round provides clash of titans galore: Pick of the crop: Arsenal v AC Milan, Liverpool v Inter, Roma v Madrid, Celtic v Barcelona. Others: Schalke v Porto, Fenerbahce vs Sevilla, Man U v Lyon. And Chelsea v Olympiakos, likely the easiest tie of the two-leg (home-and-away) knockout round.

First leg is in mid-February. Lots of time to confound your predictions. Liverpool FTW!

confound your predictions. I predict the winner of Inter v Liverbirds will win it all. I feel confidant in this prediction yet I have no clue who will win the tie. I also predict The Arsenal will dismantle AC Milan, Milan will miss out on a C.L. spot for next season, and wholesale changes will ensue starting with the appointment of Sir Special One. This will cause AC to go 965 staright games without a loss, lead to new hights of bitterness and hatred on my part, and possiable sucide. p.s. Just in case I am wrong on the AC Milan bit; I would like to send word to Kaka that Jesus isn't a football fan, and if he were he wouldn't be rooting for MElan.

Liverpool Uber Alles! We never walk alone. And, if r8rh8r says it, it must be so.

At least MElan doesn't have to answer for having no Italian players. Funny that. Inter is on form right now, and I think Liverpool have a larger mountain to climb than Arsenal v AC Milan, who are seriously off form, but it should make for a great match. Man U and Chelsea should have no problem. Thoughts on Celtic to complete the UK sweep?

The leading team in the Premier League vs. the reigning champions? A must-watch if I ever saw one... And with Fabregas back, Arsenal has a good chance of coming away with a win. Liverpool will lose a close one, and Man U will crush Lyon.
