Chelsea v Fenerbahce (1-2 agg) I think Chelsea will turn this around. It will be nervous until they score but once they get one im sure they will get a few more. But the Turks might be stubborn and the longer its 0-0 the more they will fancy it. The big one again: Liverpool v Arsenal (1-1 agg). Arsenal should have won twice over liverpool in the last week. They were robbed of a penalty in the first leg. But everyone thinks its advantage Liverpool due to them having an away goal but even if Liverpool score Arsenal still need 1 to level. Id always back Arsenal to get a goal if they need one and see them scoring one maybe 2 here. Chelsea and Arsenal to go through. (Which means Fenerbahce and Liverpool will probably go through with my luck.) I'll definatly be getting up at 2:30am to watch this. West Ham v Portsmouth is on aswell so both my tellys will be on.

Aberdeen away in the last game of the season, memories of 1987 when we took over and won the league and imagine parrading the UEFA cup round Pittodrie How stupid is the split though!!! And we still have to play St Mirren. Hibs have to go to Dundee Utd for 3rd time in the race for the UEFA cup - surely its time the SPL just woke up and scrapped this farce. First things first - legs get past Sporting on Thursday.

Losing Carlos would be a disaster. Good to see Cousin has the all clear - surely a starter on Thursday!!!

If you look over the whole season then surely Kevin Thomson has to be in with a shout ahead S McDonald and Barry Robson. If S McDonald wins then I can live with it for his double on Helicopter Sunday but Robson or McGeady would be a disgrace. Baffling baffling decision.

What is the reason for WS changing things around? Did he give into fan pressure or just saw that the team may need a freshen up? Whatever the reason he may have changed the formation but he also changed the personel and got that wrong. If he put the correct players in with the changed line up we still well have taken 3 pts away. But Whittaker is not a midfielder and Dailly is far from his best at RB. With having so much defensive players (especially on the wide position) it invites the opposition to attack us. In saying that the point about never say die attitude is spot on. We would have left Tannadice with nothing in this was still Pre-Walter Part2. As for Thursday, Im pretty worried about it. I find it hard to understand how fans can boo after what we have achieved thus far but I still share there sense of frustration that we had to take the home leg by the scrub of the neck and win the tie. The away leg is going to be tough IMO.

Is this the same as the english league when votes are done in January?? Very very silly. Weir and McGregor have easily been better than 3. Frank McAvennie's love child has had about 4 good games producing a few silky skills but has done nothing else.

Well picked up, you must have realised I put "Given a chance" on purpose

Its always nice to have players with a desire to be at the club. Boyd for me is a sub at best but a good player to have on the bench when we are looking for a goal. However if someone came in with a few million for him id bite there hand off.

Id be happy for him to return and given a chance.

Thats a mental wee bounce even though the Well fans are out of tune.

Shame for Barnsley, but they have won 2 cup finals this year already by putting Liverpool and Chelsea out. then they get rewarded with a further pay day at Wembley yesterday so they cant complain. I hope Cardiff give Portsmouth a game. If they get Fowler and Jimmy Floyd to give amazing fitness recoveries then who knows! But Id like to see Harry win the cup. At the start of the season you'd take a Pompey winning the cup just to see Man Utd Liverpool not winning it. But with Cardiff there aswell you want the underdog. Its a good cup final where it will be good to see whoever wins it.

I think he has timed this. Strachan is under big pressure and the celtic fans are on Riordans side. I can understand his frustration. I dont agree with public slatings either unless they have been behind closed doors for a long time and nothing gets resolved, which in Riordans situation HAS to be the case. I can imagine Gow and Buffel thinking the same about WS.

Boro are a decent team when they play the better teams, i think its their style of play. If they played like that every week they would be a top 8 side. Arsenal must be spewing again, they would have been back in it with just 1 more win out of there terrible run in the last 7 games. But and big but, if they win at Old Trafford they will have a half chance. But Chelsea have to be thinking they can seriously win it now. The only problem is goal difference essentially giving Man U another point as they are way ahead. Chelsea have to go to Everton when Man Utd go to Blackburn so that will be an interesting weekend.

Im annoyed. I was going to put a double on the coupon with 2 draws - Boro v Man Utd and Dundee Utd v Gers - typical!!

The draw puts Chelsea right in the title hunt.

Mike Riley is a disgrace. Boro get ruled for offside (never) then he gives man u a free kick in the midfield which was never a foul and Man Utd get a goal out if it.

And Alves does it again 2-1 to Boro

1-1 Alves Go on the Boro

Both Gio and Mols start today for them

1-0 to Man Utd already - Ronaldo yet again. 37 for the season now. Unstopable.

Aye he was close to getting the whip, although it would have been Jon doing the whipping

Nice wee booster for him

It would appear that way but if Middlesboro get something today then Chelsea are right in it.

I fancied Motherwell to get a draw but a 1-0 is magic! It takes a wee bit of pressure of us on Sunday now which can only be a good thing.

Aye ok Mr Craig! I'll do a detention now
