Reading past the last 10 odd pages made me feel sick.
First of all, I sincerely think we should lift the hurdle for joining this forum to keep it civilised. Seeing users like "arsenal r barca lite" gives you the shivers, because there is NO essence OR content in his / her posts. Posts full of hatred, depraved thoughts and sheer mockery are not something most of the users enjoy here.
People do not change in one week's time, thus I highly doubt his / her contribution would change to correspond to what we're normally accustomed to even after the ban.
I do have to admit that it's not that the Mancs are out, but the fact that there are no English teams in the last four, which gives me some pleasure. The aforementioned derives only out of the fact that English media acts so smug and treats any other league as an equivalent to a rubbish bin.
What comes to the final four - it will be highly interesting to see how Barça will fare against Inter, as these games are completely different in nature compared to the group stage games. Mourinho will try to come back with even stronger, and the pressure on him must be huge to show the rest of Europe that his team can now cut it at the top. I hope Pep studies Inter thoroughly inside out that leading to Blaugrana progess to Madrid.
Lyon and Bayern will be an interesting draw. As bad as Bayern's defence is, I still would fancy their wings to do a great deal of damage. However, I think Lyon might have a few aces up the sleeve and through a hard-fought two games they just might end up in the Final. As already mentioned, Bayern's defence is a huge liability, which might cost them their both legs.
