that's our long awaited Euro kicks waiting to explode in a few hours.so we'll do well to cover all the important stuff you need this week

Arsenil-Real Madrid-If you want to follow my lead then go for 3-0.If not 2-0 or even 1-0 will be nice.they can't score for nuts
Bayern Munich-AC Milan-If the Khan is back,good and 2-1 or 1-1 is the best score for a tight fixture.but in the case they have to battle without him,0-0 or Milan 1-0 will be cool.or maybe 1-0.possibilities here are endless
Benfica-Liverpool-3-0 to Pool.one for every striker Benfica misses(but I decided to change my mind and put 1-0)
PSV-Lyon-1-1 is a thinkable result if you don't want to burn a large hole in your wallet

Chelsea-Barcelona-tie of the week.apparently Chelsea can't fake a bad pitch as Barca had accused them of doing,because their field is designed to be in tip-top condition whatever the case.maybe we'll put Chelsea 2-1 or 1-1 in a tight match
Rangers-Villareal-1-1 and a valuable away goal for the yellow submarines
Bremen-Juventus-Juve is too strong for Bremen,but they are homesick,so that's another matter.2-1 to Juve works well most of the time
Ajax-Inter Milan-the only thing advantageous is that they have a passionate home crowd.that would make them concede one goal less but Adriano and company will still run all over them whatever the case.3-1 and they can lift the trophy if they don't meet AC Milan again

Zenit SP-Rosenborg-should the Norwegians force out a miracle out of a 2-0 deficit,I'd have applauded them.not likely to do so,so 1-1 or 1-0 Zenit works
Marseille-Bolton-by what I know,the French are strong at home.0-0 again and it goes to penalties.Bolton will win the penalties part,but the problem is,they can't wait until they draw before they realised they're in trouble.1-0 to Marseille to be safe,or you can dice with luck and put a draw
Strasbourg-Litex Lovech-they just had Litex halved.so they half them again and it's 4-0 on aggregate.do the maths yourself
Roma-Club Brugge-2-1 to Roma again.we don't really need Totti in this case
Rapid Bucharest-Hertha Berlin-Rapid are hardcore at home.we'll gamble to the core and play out a 1-0 win for those Romanians
AZ Alkmaar-Betis-1-0 again.so that means Betis are out of the equation
Monaco-Basel-1-1 or 0-0.If you still want to be romantic and put a Monaco win,fine,i'll recommend 2-1.but then we won't be responsible for any losses
Steaua Bucharest-Hereenveen-3-1 again.or 3-0.(conservative estimate,1-0)to the extent that Steaua can lift the UEFA Cup to add to their 1986 European Cup...after 20 years
Levski Sofia-Artmedia-1-0 to Levski and this is a bullish year.since Artmedia's weak away,it's the end of their long adventure,at long last which included one hell of an adventure with Celtic and Porto
Espanyol-Schalke 04-2-1 to Schalke.We don't think Espanyol will win this one at all
Lens-Udinese-apparently Lens are very strong at home.hope their magic still works,if not 2-0 will be a regrettable score to punt on.they need 3-0 for any chance to survive,just for information
Sevilla-Loko Moscow-1-0 again.this is not the winter wonderland we're talking about
Shakhtar-Lille-Shakhtar has lots of options.either they win outright,which can be in the region of 1-0,2-1 or anything,or go for an aggregate draw.I think they will win 1-0
Palermo-Slavia Prague-gang job.should we lose out,we'll be killed by the mafia.I don't think they will cock out and lose 1-0.rather they will win 1-0 even if they look average
Boro-Stuttgart-1-0 again and Boro has something to cheer
Hamburg-Thun-2-1 to Hamburg and they're doomed.1-0?I'll go for that

as for the FA Cup draws...

Chelsea-Newcastle
Birmingham-Liverpool
Charlton-Boro
Aston Villa/Man C vs Bolton/West Ham
