Its ok we have lucas

They got barcelona last year.

We got chelsea. Semi final stage. Can't expect easy then!.
our 3 game runin to final: inter - arsenal - chelsea
Their 3 game runin to final: lyon! Roma! and then barca. C'mon, miles easier!

Inter in the last round....although they do get an easy draw more often than not!

Inter last round were not in any way a tougher draw than real madrid!.


Does anyone remember the other 3 game runins to final since 2004 or whenever we started getting into last 16 regularly.
I'd guess EVERY TIME they've had the easier 3 tie run-in

[Mike]

Liverpool:
Real Madrid - Chelsea - Barca/Bayern - Final.

Scum:
Inter - Porto! - Villareal/Arse - Final.


Says it all, they are lucky *******s.

Dont be Afraid.

Liverpool:
Real Madrid - Chelsea - Barca/Bayern - Final.

Scum:
Inter - Porto! - Villareal/Arse - Final.

It's not luck, it's corruption.

[pondus]

Good thing is when we face the mancs in the final we will be the home team, so we can wear red

[certifiable]

Every ****ing year it's the same for the Mancs. Every ****ing year.

I'm too lazy to check but it's got to stage where, while its obviously just luck, I suspect it's a FACT that every year they've had an easier run in than us, and perhaps arsenal and chelsea too.

Have they EVER actually met a english team over last 4 years upto this point!
Every bleedin year we get chelsea, jesus

I think if I had written to UEFA with my perfect draw I would have written it pretty much like it turned out.

Barcelona were ****e last year, especially over 2 legs against the mancs. Everyone knew the manager was a dead man walking, Eto literally couldn't be arsed they just gave it to Messi for 2 whole matches and hoped for the best. I've been waiting all year for them to draw each other again and let barca get their revenge and destroy the smug ****s. Them drawing Porto in this round is a kick in the teeth but avoiding both barca and bayern in the semis - ****ing furious. Gutted.

You have manc mates?

[Reece]

You have manc mates?

Well ex-colleague to be precise

[RedReet]

I’m all for facing the big teams as we can beat anyone and it usually makes for a better spectacle.

But Chelsea offer nothing to look forward to.

I take it the only interesting draw of the round is on the same night as us so we can’t even watch it?

Boooo, it is.

[SimonNo7]

Villareal?!
Porto?!

Well, we can always hope...........

Well miracles do happen once in a while
