I am starting being worried about Lazio chance to reach champions league in the end of the season , it will be a war for that 4th position between Lazio, Milan and inter because definitely juventus , Roma and napoli are untouchable , I think Lazio lost big points for that race against a modest team of bologna , they should be worried now even from Milan comeback , not mentioning inter their big threat . Hope they will manage to get that 4 place because they deserve for what they showed the whole season .
in my opinion if Milan wins the postponed derby the fight for the 4rth Championsleague spot will be on fire more then the Scudetto as by then Inter will have only 1 point advantage over Lazio and 2 over Milan that will mean the competition for that final spot will be sealed only at the end of the season also if Roma drops points in two games they will also be dragged to the fight they still not secured their 3rd place yet as they still have to visit Lazio and Hosts Juventus in the 37th round all the teams still interested in the race but for me I favore Inter Milan to finish in that 4rth spot Lazio also have good chance but it all comes to what they are going to do in their remaining games. |

Just for the lulz, I'd love to see Man United and Chelsea in the finals.  Imagine all the drama building between Mou and Conte on the way to the actual game. Lol. Do you mean the FA cup....well that's a big on for all the teams can you imagine the entertainment that will unfold from these big teams and I have a feeling that both Manchester clubs will make it to the finals but both have a huge task of passing the semis with Spurs and Chelsea standing in their way.
Btw... Has anyone seen Falconer? He used to hang around here in the gambling section.
I don't think his a regular of the thread. City failed to reach the semiee finals as they have been disqualified by Wigan now the title contenders will be Chelsea and that if they do not screw things around with Southampton in my opinion it should be easier task then the quarter finals as they had to play the extra times against Leicester but Southampton this season are showing their worst ever since joining back the EPL while the other two teams United and Spurs it will be diffecult to predict the one who will reach the finals both of them wants something to celebrate the season for Mourinho wants to turn down the noises by Winning this title while Tottenham want something to reflect their hard work through the all good previous seasons they shown. |

The Semi-final draw for the FA cup
Manchester United vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea vs. Southampton
The first match is a thought draw and I think for now Spurs have the upper hand. Because the game will be played a month from now at Wembly and exactly between 21 or 22 April and by that time Spurs will gain Kane back that is a big addition for them on the other side Mourinho knows that this is it his only chance to end the season without empty hands after spending 200 million this season some results is expected so it's going to be a though match and the Winner between them will probably get the trophy. Chelsea have been struggling this season but they should easily take down Southampton so whomever between United and Tottenham pass he have the better advantage to lift the title.

FT: Real Madrid 6-3 Girona (11'48'64'91' Ronaldo, 59' vazquez, 86' Bale ; 29'68' Stuani, 88' Juanpe) | Possessions: 65%-35% | Shots: 20-9 | Tackles: 17-8.
Four goals Ronaldo, this weekend there are 3 players who scored 4 goals in one game, first Mohamed Salah in Liverpool, then Mauro Icardi at Inter Milan, and lastly there Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. Unique to Ronaldo, before January, the media and netizens have criticized him all out, many say that Ronaldo's heyday is over. But after entering January, he silenced all the critics, he was crazy and now chasing Messi in the table top scorer.
Looks that was a fun match, 9 goals scored combined  About Ronaldo, it's already common thing that in first part of the seasonhe don't score many goals then he get some criticism. But in second part of season he start to play better, especially when most important matches begin. But if Ronaldo will become top scorer in La Liga, I don't think it will be very important, because Real will finnish only 2nd or 3rd. But it can help him to get another Ballon d'Or. tacking the pichichi from Messi hands and winning another UCL will definitely boost his chances on getting the Balon D'or. And I think that Madrid should hold off over Lewandowski Real Madrid do not need anothet striker thry need now wings and players to play the game for the Don because he is the best striker of the current time in all situations Register ... Whether fans of Real or any team will recognize that the goals are goals. Whdn Ronaldo was like 11 goals behind Messi in LaLiga top scorrers and he sad he will finish at top of it at the end of the season every one laughed about that including me but now I see that he have the determination to do so 9 games left 3 more goals to beat Messi it's going to be tight. |

Real Madrid against Girona : I think that this match will be an interesting clash with a couple of goals. Real Madrid will try to score a good number of goals and win the game at the end but Girona can be annoying for Madrid defense they are now in 7th spot and they are 1point behind 6th Villarreal also two points from 5th sevilla. I think that Girona will also get some of their chances scored. Ronaldo wants to reduce the gap between him and Messi in top league scorer he scored 18 goals while Messi have locked 24 in so I expect from this match to see at least over 3.5goals.

Seeing Mo Salah's and Kevin De Bryune's performances this season, I am still very surprised how Mourinho let these two go. He's complaining yesterday about players. Who will trust him with quality players when he has let them go in the past? Who will trust him with quality players, when he coming to play defensive football with them. The guy has lost the plot and it's time for him to go top PSG.
i think that Salah didn't get his full shot at Chelsea and that for good reasons that season Chelsea had good number of quality players and Mourinho didn't want to take risk and change things also with plenty of talented players they have back at that time there was no time to give to them. And now for United I don't think that is a good idea to sack him there is some improvement against last season but it's not the improvment that is expected. We all know that United have most of their income coming from sponsors and if they don't see that the club is balanced they will start going to the other way United needs to keep Mourinho for one more season to show that they are working with a plan. |

a quattrick, an assist, Mo Salah today. The incredible game of Mohamed Salah, he destroyed Watford's single handedly. Back to victory lane, Liverpool continue to enliven the hunt for second position. Mohamed Salah is away in the top scorer battle, 28gol now on his debut with Liverpool, Fantastic.
Great Victory for Liverpool but they should really forget about even trying to take over the second position from Manchester United and i also do hope that with such a wonderful season that he is having, He really wins some trophies because the personal accolades doesn't amount to a lot though. Liverpool thrashed Watford and for now they are in the third position, overtaking Tottenham. Mohamed Salah literally toyed with the defence of Watford, scoring 4 goals. The gap between Liverpool and Chelsea has also widened, although Liverpool have played one more game than both Chelsea and Tottenham. In the absence of Kane and Aguero it's a great opportunity to Salah for exploiting he is now scoring from half chances and if they continue like this they should have no problem finishing in top 4. Playing in games like these was something worrying got Liverpool they used to blow some points away when they play against middle table teams I was surprised that they kept clean sheets against Watford today this is the third Clean sheets at home in row but I think that the reason is that Watford created only few dangerous plays they were not lucky enough to score. Next week the reds should have an easy win against palace before facing City in UCL. |

A superb defensive performance and excellent defense from Spal, met with an overstatement of Juventus, and the result was an unexpected draw that gave Napoli a positive boost after losing the lead. And now with Chellini getting an injury in addition to the absence of Ben Atia and Pjanic in their next game against Real Madrid. Their luck is not working for them as they could lose the lead also get disqualified from the UCL. While Real Madrid is getting lucky again last time it was Neymar with PSG and thus time one of the most important players in Juventus defenses .

Borussia Monchengladbach is now sitting in the middle of the table and they are seeing ups and downs lately their European dream is still alive as they are 5 points behind top 6 and Europa League places but the team must improve their form as won only 1 from last 5 league games. Their only win came over Hanover the game saw only one goal scored. Unfortunately the visitors are in much better form and they have much better chances to finish in top 6 as they are only two points behind. So this game is very important for both as they are fighting for better spot to finish in that is why I expect an over 2.5 goals.

Valencia will be facing Alaves Tomorrow. The Hosts have almost sealed their ticket to Championsleague currently they have 11 points advantage over 5th place Sevilla their win last week against them was crucial With only ten rounds of play to go I doubt that they are going to slip from top 4. While the visitors have lost their good momentum losing 3 of their previous 4 league games so I'm sure that Valencia will pick up three points, but i am not sure how many goal difference will be so it's safe to bet on only home win.

Mourinho will almost certainly park the bus when they play Man City. It’s what he’s always done throughout his whole career. The cowardly approach has brought him success in the past, he won’t change.
I wonder why most people would think this. Maybe even Mou knows this. He'll do the reverse psychology thing and go all out. Remember Chelsea vs United? That was a brilliant game by Mou. But I don't think he'll be able to out fox Pep. And that City team is just too good. And I don't think 'cowardly' is the right word. Conservative?  Mourinho parked the bus in that game as well and he only went on the offensive when they were trailing behind. He will not go all out until Manchester United concedes a goal but even with his defensive, He will be using the counter attack in the game. If he instills this approach then he will lose the match. Cause if he will start the attack after conceding that would be just foolish to do against a powerhouse team on a roll right now in scoring like Man.City is. after the Championsleague draw I think that United are favorite to win the game against City because it will be directly between their 2 games against Liverpool. Guardiola knows that the EPL title is not slipping from his hands and he will probably wants revenge from the loss he suffered against the reds in the league by knocking them out of the Championsleague also making the blues reach the semi finals for their first time so that's why they probably drop the league game as they are going to be playing 3 difficult matches in a week period and most likely he will rest some major players in between against United that will give them better opportunity to win. |

Udinese are in 11th spot with 33points and have no chance to finish close to top 6 also they are in awful moment form after 9 games in a row without a win having multiple problems and they biggest is their front line their attack have scored only 4 goals in that period while Udinese are also not in form four games in row scoring only 1 goal also they have the weakest offense in the league with only 16 scored goals in 27 games so i think they will try defend in this game and not give a lot of space so my betting tip for the much is to go for under 2.5 goals or Udinese to win or draw.

Levante vs Eibar : Levante are in 17th sport with 24 points , four points over relegation zone they have been without a win at home for a long time they still under pressure the only good thing happened to them is that they got an important win in the previous round with 1-0 over Getafe away from home this win ended there serie of12 games in all competitions without a win. while visitors are in a bad shape getting 1 win 1 draw 3 losses in last 5 matches their chances are still alive to finish in top 6 qs they are only 5 points behind they just need to win as many games as we can, without focusing on European qualification i expect from this game to get 3 goals scored.

Swansea will be facing Tottenham in the FA Cup they are getting good results lately especially when it comes to playing at Liberty Stadium they won 7 games in row now but it's still just slight chance from them to win over Spurs. the visitors are in a fine form and they have been undefeated against Swensea since 1991. Pochettino made a good club despite staying trophy less . this tourny is their last chance to silverware and i think they will get easy three points despite losing kane but Swensea have a couple more players unavailable so better go for Spurs to get a victory in this clash my tip is Tottenham -1.AH.

The draw is as good expected i rather see it strong and that because most of the top teams have reached this round.
- Barcelona with Roma, everything is clear, experience, names and even ambition, a confrontation in which Barcelona seems to have no excuse not to qualify
- Juventus vs Real Madrid, the final of last season, with the difference that Real Madrid do not live good days, a chance to avenge the win in the face of the most dangerous teams in Europe at all, I can only say that 50-50 literally, a good test for the two to see where they can go.
- Liverpool vs Manchester City, the luck of the English team guaranteed in the semi-finals, and unfortunately both of them have been solid but Guardiola men have the better advantage to reach th next round.
- Bayern Munich vs Sevilla, Bayern is certainly happy with the draw, but they know slacking against the Andalusian team can be very costy but Certainly Bayern have the strongest lines.

after the sack of Mauricio Pellegrino Southampthon turned to Mark Hughes to take over. Hughes was sacked from Stoke city in january after a series of draws and losses. i hope he don't brings that form with him to the saints. he will supervise the first game in sunday as he will be playing against Wigan in the FA cup while his first League game will be in 31 mars against a fellow relegation candidate West Ham their situation is not so promissing qs they still have to face Manchester City , Chelsea and Arsenal in thir rest 8 rounds including 2 difficult visits to Leicester and Everton after 6 yearsin the EPL they are looking into a difficult fight for survival. i hope the quality players they have help them in saving the team.

AC Milan thought they had the better of Arsenal for a few minutes, when Calhanoglu scored a goal well into the first half. Nobody in the Arsenal team thought it would be a good idea to close him down, inviting him to go for the goal which he duly converted. Unfortunately for AC Milan, Danny Welbeck got a penalty after being brought down in the box. Arsenal and AC Milan are at 1-1 going into the second half.
Regardless of the controversial enough penalty, the second half did not go so well for AC Milan, and eventually they had to lose by aggregate quite a landslide. The proof of AC Milan is against a great team and in fact they are not playing so well against a great team like Arsenal. the penalty (nonexistent foul) has affected the result. Ac Milan did a good match and also had his chances for a resounding comeback. Without Aubameyang and with Lacazette injured Arsenal has little chance of winning the Europa League. Arsenal still have good chances to win this event it's all going to be a game by game if they can manage to avoid atletico until the finals it will be greqt thing for them anything can happend in final if they end up facing Atletico. Marseille , Sporting and Lazio could be good competetors for UEL Marseille are back in top 3 in Ligue1 and they have good potentielle while Sporting have been a solid team for quite sometime. and i think in these teams Lazio could be the surprise they already surprising us tis season as they are challenging in top 4 of the serieA also reaching this level in UEL especialy when they spent less then 30Million euros this summer |

Tommorow's match, Man Utd will not have it easy at all even though they are playing at home. They need to win, and Sevilla just need a score-draw to qualify. Sevilla have noting to loose, and from their first leg performance, they showed they are very dangerous. I will not be surprised if Man Utd gets knocked out of the Champions League tomorrow.
Manchester United is not like Tottenham Hotspurs to bow out of the Champions League even though they had a superior advantage and will be playing at home and with the first leg score, Manchester United are not going to take very likely at all because they know the consequences of their failure. I guess I was spot on with my predictions... Hehe. Also was right about Man Utd players lacking character for this stage of the Champion League. Manchester United did not play a total defensive, that's why they lost. I already said, if Sevilla can score goals, there will be panic in the Manchester United team. And Sevilla did it, not just scoring goals, but they scored quick, 2 goals in just 4 minutes. Anyway, congratulations to Sevilla. Performance without a soul, and a disintegrated team like not the same as we saw against Liverpool. The style of dancing on the edge brought them out, deserved Andalusian deserved .. Sevilla live a beautiful dream with Montilla, critics will not forgive Mourinho they will mark him as the first responsible for the loss he risked the game and ended it with failure. Sevilla were weak behind and Jose didn't take advantage of that he spent more then 200 million Euros on attack to end up defending while Guardiola payed more then that on defense so he can attack. |

After the drop in performance and losing the first leg against Shakhtar 2-1 Roma have seen Improvment form in the last games the first leg saw them missing a lot of chances but now they looking much better upfront they won easily last two games with 4-2 and 3-0 scoring 7 goals while Shakhtar are also doing a lot more scoring 18 goals in their previous 5 matches so I think that this game will be open. Roma wants to score at home that will leave some spaces for the visitors and Try to score some back. It's little bit diffecult to predict the winner but I think the Italian side have the best chances but if you are going to bet on the game I think over 2.5 Goals is the best choice.
