Chelsea dominate the game but that one mental lapse leads to the goal Fenerbache needed and then Chelsea's big stars can't find the net.
Liverpool - 2
Arsenal - 1
Liverpool through in an utterly awful display by both teams. Both teams will be ragged and undisciplined, with that "style" being more to Liverpools liking and a referee that allows bad tackle after bad tackle to go unpunished.
Barcelona - 1
Schalke - 1
Barca go through. In another sleeper of a game in which Schalke piss away more chances than a billionaire in a brothel. Unless you are a fan of either team don't bother watching.
Manchester United - 2
Roma - 0
Roma come out and press the action to little avail only to be caught on the counter for the first goal and then pack it in and give up a second late in the 2nd half. A better display than last year this time but still not enough.
So my match ups for the semi-finals:
Chelsea v Liverpool
Barcelona v Manchester United
Early predictions in this one
Chelsea fall to Liverpool
Barcelona fall to United
Final
United beat Liverpool, as usual.

Here are my predictions......
Chelsea 2 Fenerbahce 0
I think Chelsea are gonna do enough to win....they play solid at the back and get a 2-0 result to go through, with Drogba & Lampard playing key roles.
Barca 1 Schalke 0
Barca do enough at home to put this tie away for another berth in the semis.
Liverpool 0 Arsenal 0
I don't think there are any goals in this one, with Benitez having Liverpool choke up midfield and tactically counter everything Arsenal throw at them! Liverpool go through on the away goal!
Man Utd 2 Roma 1
With injuries to Ferdinand and Vidic I see the Utd team's defense being a little more porous allowing for Roma to get a lifeline, before Man Utd start playing and put this one away in clinical style.
