    You'd have to say, we are more than capable of going through to the Qtrs with those possible opponents.

    Zenit

    Yeah, we should be ok whoever. Don't really fancy Milan.

    Best thing about finishing top is that we have the away game first. I still think that's a good advantage to have. We might well have a narrow defeat away but we can demolish them at our place.

    No one there im really worried about

    Ideally though, we get Basle, APOEL face CSKA and we get the winner of that in the QFs.

    Piss easy path to the semi and then bring on Barca who we destroy and then Real in the final who we lose to

    Real

    we're not winning it, so let's face up to some good teams (milan), test ourselves and enjoy the ride. it's what the competition should be all about in the ko stage

    We have a very small chance of winning it but it is a chance, and strange things happen in football. Behind Bayern, Real Madrid and Barcelona, we are probably 4th favourites. A couple of nice draws (who knows - Barca and Real facing eachother in the quarters) and you never know.

    I'd prefer to get as far as we can and we have a better chance of doing that if we face some kind draws...though I think nothing is too easy at this stage.

    Either of the Russian sides would be good. I think they'll be in the middle of their pre-season when the 2nd round starts.

    Fancy our chances against any of those 2nd seeds though, although Milan would obviously be a huge test.

    Bring it on.

    We've never won in Russia and cant see that changing with the team we have now so no thanks to them.

    Stay away from the Italians as well

    Lyon will be tough.

    That leave Basle or Leverkusen

    Basle for me, first hand view of Shaqiri
