Wha? Neither? Chelsea arguably have the toughest task ahead of them as they face Valencia while Liverpool already have their tickets to the semis after being handed PSV who advanced thanks to Gooner incompetence. Bayern vs. AC Milan should be an interesting match with both teams hitting their strides late in the season while Manchester United should have the edge against Roma.
Quel dommage! One can imagine the nervousness at UEFA headquarters when today's draw for the quarterfinals resulted in no all-English matchups. There will definitely be heart palpitations if the final turns out to be an all-English affair. UEFA may have what they want if Man U loses to Roma. Chelsea could meet Liverpool in the semis which would happen if both sides win their respective fixtures. If all three sides win, we're almost guaranteed an all-English final in Athens.
They'll have to lock down all antiquities if Liverpool makes the final. However the sales of gyros will go through the roof and pay off the Athens Olympics. Hopefully the halftime show will involve Yanni, Nick Markakis and dancing souvlaki.

Wow, it's a shame you didn't go the extra predictable mile and make a Scouser-hubcap joke. *rolls eyes*
L-A-M-E.
Two words: delayed gratification. Just you wait - Chelsea will find a way to squeak past Valencia.
Liverpool? Dunno. Ronald Koeman claimed their scalp when he was manager at SL Benfica.
Good point. I really should have gone for the hubcap joke. It was early. Sign on, sign on...
