Official CL Quarter Finals draw thread

[Red_hot]

Some right miserable gits here, get a grip of yourselves!
Dont worry about what anyone else is saying, every footy fan in the country thinks/knos that we are the dogs bollox in this competition, and whatver they say theyre all ****ting themselves at the thought of playing us.
Look at whats up for grabs here. Arsenal, Chelsea and united, all beaten on the way to our 6th European cup. Feckin' hell, thats at least 10 years bragging rights!!!!!
Bring em on I say, and **** off with the negativity.

FFS DJS, who were you hoping for in the draw? Tampere United? Chester Women's Auxiliary Sunday League Team? The Rugged Island Five-a-Side Over 75s?

NEWSFLASH: Sometimes winning the Champion's League is difficult!

Christ I hope the lads don't share your level of belief...

Best post in the thread

Agreed, we are having to do it the hard way!

No surprise. It's clearly a fix.

Ah well.

Oh come on.

We have been the best team in Europe for the last 3 years. Who should we fear ? Certainly any team we can beat.

We can beat anyone, that's a given. Same rule applies in the PL and in all of football.

I dont feel good about it because arsenal are better than us and, as i've said, they're the only team who play their normal game at Anfield. We'll be up against it. It's my opinion, and by all means go ahead and predict us to win 92-0 over the two legs if you want, but i just dont share your opinion.

Don't worry I'll be fit for the final

ooops

No you don't, as DJS has pointed out.

The draw is virtually ****ing seeded. Every tie is a seeded one except ours. Pig sick of it.

I fancy us to beat Arsenal but that doesn't make me any less ****ing pissed off about this wanky draw AGAIN.

Sick to the back teeth of United and Chelsea getting virtual byes every single ****ing time

Still, you have to be able to beat any team in europe to win the CL... And so we rightly can, arsenal included... Not the best team to draw, not the worst team either.

Look what happened 2 years ago when we drew a "weak" opponent in Benfica, we lost, so there is no automatic...

And btw. I hardly think the scum had a good draw, if roma plays utd as they did Real they can easily get in to trouble...

Reasons to be cheerful:

1. No trip to Turkey
2. No trip to Italy
3. We're in form
4. It's the Champions League, our stomping ground
5. We perform better when we're the underdog
6. Who ****ing wants to play Schalke anyway?!?
7. Torres
8. Montse wants a new Watch
9. Pako is back - not really, but perhaps in spirit
10. It's almost spring
11. We can still win this one
12. We have the best keeper
13. We have the best holding midfield
14. Gerrard
15. Kuyt!
16. Arsenal will **** themselves
17. I need a beer
18. Did I tell you all I'm doing Go-Ape this weekend?
19. Where is C-Dogg when you need him?
20. Perhaps he can remix Anfield Rap for us?
21. Have I missed anything?
22. Agger *might* be back!
23. Torres
24. Again!

Why should we **** off for simply expressing our honest views?

I think you're living in cloud cuckoo land, but i'm not telling you to **** off for it.

No, because I remember you saying things over Rafa not so long ago, and we've turned the corner since then. Just pointing out your negativity.

FFS guys, every game in the CL is difficult. If anyone thinks Chelsea are gonna walk to beat Fenerbache, likewise for United against Roma, then they're deluding themselves.

Ask Real Madrid what they think of that. Everything is in the balance as regards to me. It's a knockout competition over 2 legs. Tactics come into it more than your usual game and Rafa has been the master of them all in the past.

A little bit of positivity wouldn't go far amiss.

I was on phone to william hill and told them what i wanted.... it took me holding for 20mins for the lady to come back and she said to me sorry i've been instructed not to take this bet!!!!!! I said you take bets on all other draws why not this, sorry i can't answer that!!!! fiddled mate trust me.

According to my crappy calculations there there was a less than 1% chance of the the draw being exactly the same as the one earlier........

TOTAL FIX!!

[Darkon]

I was actually at the Barca game on sunday, they were very, very poor. I'm sure they will beat schalke but I really would not have minded playing them

True, barca are not playing to well atm, and I woulden't mind having drawn them...

Still though an underperfoming Schalke who are 5th in the bundesliga is by far the easiest draw left, and should be a piece of cake for any team...

Fair enough for thinking Arsenal are a better team than us, but am not sharing it with you. Even if there's a difference, it's a marginal one, and in Europe as you know ....
