It's great to have all four English teams through to the Champions League knockout phase and on the last five occasions that's happened at least one has got to the final, so hopefully that's a good omen...
Manchester United
The sides Manchester United could get in the next stage is the best piece of news David Moyes has had all season because they shouldn't care who they get out of that lot, they should beat any of them, certainly Manchester Uniteds of the past would do.
They weren't impressive beating Shakhtar Donetsk but the result was all that counted and that they topped the group was the significant thing.
I think they'll strengthen in the transfer window; Gary Neville doesn't necessarily agree with me and I understand where he coming from - it's hard to buy players that will strengthen your squad and will also be available to play in the next stage of the Champions League.
But there are players even in England who I think could potentially strengthen their squad. For Manchester United, though, the future is looking a lot rosier.
Chelsea
They've had highs and lows in their campaign. Probably more lows than highs when you lose home and away to Basel. They were also utterly underwhelming against Steaua Bucharest. The only thing that could be said was that they kept a clean sheet. All that practice against dummies in training paid dividends as the dummies didn't score.
It's not the same Chelsea, Jose Mourinho has said that and he's right. They've got issues and even against Steaua - who've been the whipping boys in the Champions League since 2006 when they last won a game - they still gave them opportunities through the course of the game.
They've got issues defensively and issues up front where their strikers, despite Demba Ba shinning one in, aren't scoring enough goals. They've got a star-studded midfield but Jose is right when he says they're not amongst the favourites. Having said that, I think out of all of the English sides they might well go the furthest as they've done it before.
They won the thing when they hadn't been playing particularly well and Jose is the master of getting results when they're not doing well. They should reach the quarter-finals and at that stage nobody wants to play Mourinho.

JEFF'S GEM OF THE WEEK
Derby thumped Blackpool 5-1 last week and it's five wins on the bounce for the first time since 2006-2007. Steve McClaren believes in playing the football from back to front, they're scoring lorry-loads of goals and he's won seven of his first nine in charge.
Nigel Clough put down the groundwork, no question about it, but McClaren is rapidly restoring his reputation - if he needed to do so - as a coach. I'm pleased for him because he's a nice guy and has come through the England nightmare and come out of the other side. Pride Park, as we must keep calling it, is rocking these days.
