    Euro League Round of 16

    We have drawn Lille from France in the next round starting away in France.

    I think it's a decent draw a lot of worse opponents out there. And starting away is always nice, so we have a chance of hitting a QF in a competition this year

    Full list:

    Hamburger SV - Anderlecht
    Rubin Kazan - Wolfsburg
    Atletico Madrid - Sporting Lissabon
    Benfica - Marseille
    Panathinaikos - Standard Liege
    Lille - Liverpool
    Juventus - Fulham
    Valencia - Werder Bremen

    Your right .It could have been worse.
    Juve or Valencia or Benfica or Marseille would be trickier ties but I'd fancy us anyway.
    Me, I’m either planning a holiday or I’m on one.

      I don't think there is much difference in Lille, Valencia, Benfica and Marseille tbh, Lille is the french title fight which is apparently a tight one and Valencia are not what they were.

      I think Juventus will be a danger though they could be on the up with Zaccheroni.

        I agree that Valencia aren't what they were a few years ago but teams seem to lift against ex coaches/ players etc. I'd rather someone else played them if you know what I mean.

        Juve are defo one to avoid. Marseille too I think but Lille? I'm OK with drawing them!

          I'd still say Valencia is a far worse opponent than the others mentioned as well as juve being a though one. I also fancy Wolfsburg to go far they have a very good team.

            Lille, could be tricky but avoided some good opposition! I woudnt write Valencia off, be nice to play them so Villa and Silva can meet their new team mates!

                      They're hardly the Milans, Barcelonas, Madrids, Manchesters and Munichs of this world.

                      It's clearly a lower level and we shouldnt be there.

                        Perhaps, but I for one am going to be positive about it and talk it up rather than down, I want to enjoy this as much as I can and hope we go all the way to final.

                          even the milans and the munichs of this world had to play in this lower competition in the last few seasons

                          everyone slips up, lets just make sure we don't stay at this level.

                            I thought the draw had been made before the Unirea game so we already knew who we were playing - it just depended on which team got through from their game
                            The King was back for a short while. Long live The King.

                              Maybe Fulham are the ones to worry about then, they've already beaten us this season.
                              The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.
