CL draw approaching

[Craig_H]

i dont mean to be disrespectful but have you also noticed how no italian team got an easy draw ?

Its pure coincidence.

Just because you're paranoid, doesnt mean they're NOT out to get you

[Vermilion]

Chelsea v Juventus
Villarreal v Panathinaikos
Sporting Lisbon v Bayern Munich
Atletico Madrid v Porto
Lyon v Barcelona
Real Madrid v LIVERPOOL
Arsenal v Roma
Inter v Man Utd

Great round, only one real mis-match, Lyon v Barca and that could surprise, maybe, but all the other ties are pretty evenly matched games, which is brilliant.

Adding Rafa back to Madrid, Jose against the Scum, Ranieri to Chavs...just to add to the mix.

Ajax were in the UEFA cup? If so each team is allowed to register one player who played in the UEFA cup for the knock out stages of the CL - so he would be eligible.

In that case they'll have to choose between Huntelaar and Diara.

Knowing Real they'll choose the striker over the defensive midfielder.

We got Lyon in the rehearsal.

It's about time Zlatan stepped upto the plate on the biggest stage.

[dww]

I think Bayern will come good. Decent tie for them too.

[Craig_H]

Just noticed that after the first leg, we have Boro away and after the 2nd leg, we have Man Utd away

[Tee]

Hmmm.... if we finished second we would have got Porto.

[rage]

some really really tasty games there.

[Shaggy]

I'm loving it personally. I just didn't want Inter. They'll knock out the mancs, mark my words.

Hope you're right. I think the Mancs will turn them over without too much trouble, to be honest.

momo is going to kill ronaldo in the next round

[ric.williams]

momo is going to kill ronaldo

i thought momo played for juve?

[Neil Young]

So either this is the first "Momo to Inter" rumour or Momo is being cast as a homicidal maniac.

I don't know which I believe.

With any other manager, Inter wouldn't stand a chance, I agree. But there is one great thing about Mourinho, and that is his capability of turning every match he desires into a tight, gritty encounter in which one psychological error could make the difference, regardless of the difference in quality between the sides.

He'll tell his players to kick Ronaldo and Berbatov whenever they can, and they won't be up for it.
