He has a boatload of talent and I hope that he can stay healthy as I do enjoy watching him play. As for the future and time travel, I've watched the movies but that's about it. Perhaps my saying that Barcelona "will not" win the CL is a bit strong-headed but based on what I've seen of them this year, my 1.21 gigawatt brain is telling me they will not advance. Anyone not getting the gigawatt reference...check here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjCRUvX2D0E Alex,

But I can say Liverpool was lucky enough to grab a minimum result. If Drogba and Lampard played better than last night, I believe Anfield would suffer very bad. By the way, I agree with you, Michael. Drogba was disgusting. 1-1 draw was not good for Liverpool. But I can say Liverpool was lucky enough to grab a minimum result.

With Malouda getting the corner, and the Kalou to Drogba to Lampard attempt that ended up as a goal kick.

barcelona will not win? if you know this already, can you please share your secret method for time travel with the world?
did you finally find the elusive flux capacitor for your ‘83 DeLorean?

besides, some of those players are only injured for the first leg.

kuyt was not offside because he wasnt called offside. if he was called offside then he would be offside. that may not make sense but then again it may.

Messi is very talented but appears to be too fragile to be relied upon. How many times has he been out injured in the last couple of seasons? Barcelona will not win the Champions League this season. Puyol is out for this first leg, Messi is just coming back from injury, Ronaldinho cannot be counted on right now, Henry is injured and Barca have struggled all year. They were fortunate to get past Schalke in the last round. They came up with just enough to win, granted that, but that level of performance will not get the job done against Manchester United. Re: Kuyt's goal...he was not offside and Makelele jumped into him, Kuyt just brushed him off and went on to score...good composure for once. Alex,
