Champions League Last 16 Draw (15 Dec), 11am.

[Power n Glory]

If we play Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Barcelona we are going out, we do not have the tactical guile to overcome the fact that all three have better sides than us

Atletico Madrid would be favourites to beat us, but I would not rule us out getting the best of them over two legs

Monaco I know very little about other than they are having indifferent form in Ligue 1, have scored four goals in the champions league this season and are without their two key players from last season.

Porto I'd expect us to beat

I don't mind being drawn against. Big team. We're just as likely to go out against Porto or Monaco considering our recent form and the team may underestimate their quality.

Real Madrid. That's a juicy one. I think we'd be better prepared for that sort of game. If we get hammered it's all part of the script. But the boost we'd get if we actually showed up and won....

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Monaco or Porto.

Although I'm not overly bothered just as long as it isn't bloody Barca or Bayern.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hope the first leg against Bayern is at home.

Just like the 05-06 season where we'd get beat by any half decent side in the league but a differnet team would turn up in the CL (post groupe stages).

I really hope its not Bayern, as it would be way to predictable and the games against them are usualy boring.

So this is the reason we moved from Highbury to the Emirates. To build a team that is scared stiff of half the other teams in Europe. Bravo Wenger et al

Other than Porto or Monaco, I do not think we have a chance in hell against the rest. Let's get one of the big boys and get this seasonal humiliation out of the way.

we are so incredibly shit this year that the only logical conclusion is that we will do a chelsea this year and win the thing.


and you know it, i know it, everyone knows it, we are drawing bayern in the next round

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So long as we avoid Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Absolute torture watching us with 2% of possession or whatever it is.

If we went balls to the wall and chucked everything at them we could win 8-7. We won't win 2-1 though. I'd rather us get thrashed trying than fail by doing nothing. We can't park the bus like the chavs so we'll need to strap a rocket on it and launch it at the opponent goal.

Porto / Monaco
