RE: Champions League - Last 16
Villarreal - Arsenal
Man. United - Porto   
Liverpool - Chelsea   
Barcelona - Bayern

Arsenal have been relatively weak all season and have underperformed, hence i dont think they will make it any further.
Manchester United are on a mission to redeem their recent form in the league, they will certainly win.
I am a chelsea fan however, we are performing under-par and liverpool are all guns firing, i think it will be tight but chelsea will lose.
And the final two, i no next to nothing about this year so cant make a decision (Y)

Arsenal haven't lost in 22 matches (with a number of injurys) and are still continuing their run. The majority have been draws yes, but they aren't losing. Fabregas, Eduardo, Adebayor and Walcott have come back from injury and should play in the match. The only problem Arsenal have is that Arshavin is cup-tied, but even without him I don't see Villareal winning.
They are still in the Champions League and the FA cup.

RE: Champions League - Last 16
Arsenal will take Villareal in the second leg so they'd be through.
United, hopefully can pull off what not other English club has done.. if anyone can do it, they can :)
Liverpool, imo are probably going to go out. Sad really. They've been playing well. If Chelsea score even a single goal, its over. The only way I can see Liverpool come back in is scoring early.
Barcelona are already through. Very few teams have squandered a 4-0 lead in the first leg of the knockout of the UCL.

The most interesting match imo now is the United - Porto one. Porto are favourites looking at their record but United just need a single goal shut out to go through. I know they are missing players but if anyone can do it, they can :)

Liverpool have a steep task up ahead and Bayern are out already tbh. Arsenal match is close as well but they should go through.

My SF predictions:
1) Arsenal vs Man. Utd.
2) Liverpool vs Barcelona

Winner of SF 1 will be the "away" team for the finals :)

After the first leg, I think Chelsea and Man. United are most likely to progress to the final.

I agree with you here, i don't think Chelsea will lose at the bridge, the UCL and FA Cup are our only realistic chances of a trophy this year, so i dont think we will lose it, and i can see us beating United if we reach the final together. Revengeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I still think Arsenal and Barcelona will go through. Arsenal have played very well at home in the Champions League this year (they haven't conceded a goal). I'm going for a 2-0 win. Barcelona to go through on penalties.

Ok, I got 3/4 correct :P
Now My guess will be Man Utd and Barca. I hope Chelsea win but I don't see it definitely happening. As for the United game, I think it will probably be a dull/exciting 0-0 or at max 0-1 for United :)

The Barca-Chelsea game will be close. Barca will push with their star studded line up and Chelsea will hold them back.. if Chelsea has to win, it would be either a typical Lampard goal, a counter (which is one of Lampard's things as well) or a set piece ('cause that's Barca's weakness) :)
Hopefully Chelsea won't let Barca "play their game" 'cause that can't be good for no one (except Barca) :)

4/4.....why thank you, lol.

I think United have enough of an upper hand to seal the deal now.  One goal at the Emirates leaves Arsenal needing 3...though on their day, that could easily happen

As for the other game....anything could happen.  I'd like Barcelona to edge it...I'm not a fan of same country finals for a number of reasons

The last Man Utd. vs Chelsea final was fun :P
I remember an AC Milan vs Inter (or was it Juve) final.. it sucked utter balls cause both of them played defensively and cancelled each other out.. 'twas totally boring (just like the Seria A imo :P)

Last year's finals on the other hand was exciting. EPL has a different kind of game, I agree. Especially if you're used to the (slower?) pace and (flamboyant at times?) style of the SPL. I still think the match was fun despite only 2 goals :)

It was Milan-Juventus and Milan won the cup with Shevchenko scoring the last penalty and giving Milan a 3-2 win. It was indeed a nasty game.
