Of those 3 draws are there any were you see no chance for the English team?

Then of course is the Utd - Milan match which on current form Milan should win, but Utds record against Italian teams in recent years is excellent and the team still has enough quality to beat anyone if all the pieces of the jigsaw come together at the same time (which slowly they are ) plus, as Ruud is unlikely to be fit they have a ready made excuse

I am not against giving English sides a chance but making it sound like English teams are 'heavy' favourites in all four ties is really stretching it a lot!!!

Reading that crap it sounded like both those buffoons were on a PLEASING MISSION to the general public rather than stating the obvious!! All the English people I know believe that it will be tight and these two so called experts are on another planet altogether. That was the irritating bit to read.

Townsend has SINNED by saying the stuff against Milan. He is PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER 1 for me from now on!! He shouldn't have messed with Milan. I'll make him famous.
