		<description><![CDATA[Reason one would be because it&#039;s not the group stage anymore, which is ultimately only in place for revenue purposes.

Asenal v Barcelona should be a great game, last season the old cliche a game of two halves was the only way of describing the first leg.  In the second Messi was sublime.

Spurs v Milan, two sides that have a strong onus on attack should mean goals.

Oh hell i&#039;m excited about all of it...

Rematch of last years final, Marseille v United and Lyon v Real should be good as long as Mourinho doesn&#039;t try and kill the game (he will).

No matter what it will beat this Tues/Weds offerings hands down.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When have Arsenal ever man-marked anyone in its current setup?

Man marking a Barca player is suicidal.

Park the bus and hope to hit on counter, 
The ONLY strategy that can work and it relies heavily on HOPE.
They&#039;ve got a month to practice it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lovely preview. 

I do reckon that Roma will progress over Shaktar. In other years I&#039;d have actually tipped the Ukrainians to progress but I feel that Roma&#039;s front three/four/five will swing the balance in the Giallorossi&#039;s favour. 

Roma being Roma though, they&#039;ll probably end up letting me down.]]></description>
