Atleti please.
Wait, Dortmund went out? :haha:
Everything falling into place. :cloud9:
CSKA away would probably be dreadful.
Avoid Atletico and let someone else knock them out.
The coward's way :bow:.
Leipzig would do us as well on current form.
Marseille or Sporting please.
Atletico Madrid are the strongest team out of that bunch and with Diego Costa upfront for them, I can’t see us beating them. Lazio are also a decent team.
Sporting probably if I had to choose.
I wouldnt mind a trip down to Madrid :satan:
Lazio if you ask me. Just because I fancy seeing us play them.
Sporting or...
No, it has to be Sporting.
Sporting or Salzburg, we need to avoid Atletico & to a lesser extent Leipzig. I think both of them would knock us out.
Atletico in the final would be nice. We won’t knock them out over 2 legs, but in a one-off final game...anything is possible.Quote:

Shittiest draw we could have got. This one could be filled with all sorts of problems given Princess May's antics with Russia. And we never do well out there anyway.
Atletico Madrid vs Sporting Lisbon
Lazio vs Red Bull Salzburg
Shite draw.
We need to go for the kill in the first leg.
Going to Russia should be fun, with Putin's recent antics.
That's the worst draw possible. None of our major threats facing off. And we're bound to get killed if we fly Aeroflot.
Anyone but Atletico I guess!
Oh god, our little precious players won't like this, and Putin might be mean to us.
Happy with that draw for us. I think we may struggle a bit out there...but we should have enough quality to see them off over 2 legs.
Me too, happy enough. Most of those teams were much of a muchness.Quote:

Record against Russian clubs in Europe:
P6 W2 D2 L2 Scored 4 Conceded 5
And we do particularly badly in the away leg.
Oi, geezerskis, just seen the new away strip for this tie...http://www.dtjhsb.com/include/showim...3/22144200.jpg
CSKA are an awful team, should be a walkover, one of the easiest draws we could have got.

Told you :lol:
He's gonna win it :lol:
They're 3rd in the Russian league, we're gonna do them :lol:
Utd scored 4 there. And they're a defensive, conservative side.Quote:

Guess we have to make sure that we don't drink any tea offered to us by the Russians!
Royals are also banned from travelling to Russia. So Letters will have to stay behind.Quote:

Fun fact: the last time Arsenal played CSKA Moscow in London, the match was attended by Andrei Lugovoi. Who earlier that day, had met Alexander Litvinenko and allegedly slipped polonium in his tea. Traces of polonium were later found at the stadium during the investigation.
AFTV next please.
In which case it wasn't a lucky draw, was it?Quote:

Honestly, I don't follow all the leagues enough to know how good they are but we could do with a trip that far and I'd rather be at home second.
Whatever, the one good thing about us not qualifying for the CL was being in the Europa League which is a competition most of us felt we had a decent chance at.
We're in the quarter finals and I always feel if you get that far in a cup competition you've got a chance.
It's the only thing that can rescue an otherwise poor season so I hope we do.
I remember the last time we played CSKA in the CL. It was that ridiculous 0-0 when we missed a lorry load of easy chances. :lol:
Think we lost the game in Moscow 1-0.
Lets hope for the same again.
I hope we win.
