7 - 1

What happens when one team hits top form and the opposition are almost laughingly bad?

Manchester United 7 - 1 AS Roma

I fully accept that the score would not have been so ridiculous had Roma played at least a decent game. Their defence was having an off day and the goalkeeper was worse. Who cares? It was fun.

Woohoo!

I totally agree. I pity the Roma fans. They came all the way but their players were left behind in Rome.

A marvellous performance indeed. that's the advantage of playing on the 2nd leg. Well, the next match will be against either Milan or Bayern, this is the killer match. The final - an all english duel?

I liked the way Richard Jolly put it. "Roma verdict: Out-passed, out-classed, out-thought and out-fought"

But yes, Erin, it did look like the players stayed behind in Rome and send their shadows instead. And these shadows were rather pale for that matter.

All English final? I too hope so Johnny! As to which team will make up the other finalist, I suspect it will be Liverpool instead of Chelsea, who make it into the final. It's not a biased opinion. Just a gut feeling.
