John Dykes : Good evening everyone. Welcome to another edition of Football Focus. I'm John Dykes and accompanying me via satellite is none other than the legendary Mr Rizal Owen, son of Michael Owen both of which was quite a player during their hey days.. Rizal?

Rizal Owen : Hey. John, how's doing? Weather's in Singapore not been good lately. Haha..

JD : Great. Everything's great here.. Well lets get down to business shall we? Its the 2nd leg of the Champions League and a place for the final 8. Lets start off with Chelsea. A 0-0 in the first leg away to Olympiacos, with Chelsea playing dismal football, do you think the Greeks can cause a major upset at Stamford Bridge?

RO : I have to be honest with you John, on paper Chelsea are the clear favorites.. But in football, statistic counts for nothing in the game esp european games. Anything can happen.

JD : So your saying that Olympiacos can snatch an unlikely win here?

RO : With all due respect to Chelsea, they play sluggish football lately, barring the 4-0 win over West Ham. And I cant see that trend stopping soon.

JD : Are you saying that because your.. um, biased towards Chelsea like I know you are?

RO : Look Dykes. Your company is paying me good money to know what I feel about football. Who knows about football more? Me or you? So put up or shut up..

JD : Okay okay.. Hmph. Next fixture is Real and Roma. Any thoughts?

RO : It all depends on one man. Robinho. If he's on song, then I cant see why Real cant go through. Likewise, its Totti for Roma. But sometimes they tend to lose games when people least exepected them to. So, its pretty tight here..

JD : Porto entertain Schalke. Who's going through?

RO : Easy. Porto. So Liverpool can whoop their ass again later in the competiton much like they did it during the group stages.

JD : *smirks*

RO : Dont give me that look you wriggly b_ _ _ _ _ _.

JD : Last game. Liverpool travels to San Siro to face Inter Milan. Do you think Inter can cut the deficit two weeks ago in Anfield?

RO : HAHA. Who are you kidding Dykes. Inter will have no chance against Liverpool despite playing at home. Liverpool have done the damage in the first leg and it will be hard to recover even for a team like Inter.

JD : Are you.. saying that because you're a self-confessed Liverpool fanatic?

RO : Tsk. You know what. I'm out of here..


Just for laughs only.

If you ask me what I want to be when I grow up later, being a football pundit is one of my top choices. =)
