FA Cup and the Return of the Champions League

I believe that if West Ham beats Bolton they will go on to win FA Cup. (One can dream can't they?) Neither team looked very good on Saturday, but I thought that Bolton applied better pressure and looked the better team. They got one goal called back on what I initially thought was a correct offside call. However on review the luck was definitely in West Ham's favor.
Review of the Match

However in the meantime West Ham don't play until March 4. The replay is being figured to be on the 7th if Bolton get through to the next round of the UEFA Cup otherwise it will be the next week. Either way it means to straight matches against Bolton. Bolton is the one team I dreaded in this round. Yes Chelsea, Manchester United, and Liverpool are 1, 2, 3 respectively in the league, but they wouldn't raise any expectations. With Bolton on the otherhand, we might think we had a chance so the possible loss would be bad for morale (as we have already lost twice to them this season).

With the return of the Champions League on Tuesday, I would like to make some predictions.

Yes I picked Bremen and Rangers. I love Thomas Schaaf, based on his record in the Bundesliga. As for Rangers, thats just me taking on a flyer. Why can't Mcleish swan song be getting Rangers to the next round?

What about Bacelona v. Chelsea? How do you ignore the best game of these rounds?

If you don't respond, I am going to assume you want Chel$ea to win (as I am a bitch).
