Champions League Knock Out Stages Draw - 16 Dec 2011 - Nyon

[Özim]

I wouldn't say we have no chance of winning it. There are better sides around - Barca beat us relatively comfortably but they handed ManYoo's arses to them too. They're better than both of us. In that sense ManYoo have no chance either. If Barca happen to get knocked out before we play them then it would give other teams a chance. Realistically you'd expect one of the Spanish sides to win it but hey, if I thought we had no chance I wouldn't bother watching. In sport you never really know.

Man U have been in 3 of the last 4 finals and have won one, they've had a bad year but one things for sure they always have a chance as the mentality of the manager and the team often makes up for defficiencies on the pitch.

Same cannot be said about us, it's not really about being the best it's the ability to produce performances when it matters and a winning attitude....we just don't have that as the manager cannot instill that in players, they either have it when he buys them or they don't.

Who did they get in the last 16 again?
Do you think Wenger deserves any credit for us winning the group given our wretched start?

The bad start was entirely due to his incompetence but we did win the group, it would mean something if we really felt we had a chance of winning it (even an outside chance).

I'm happy to write off this competition and focus on the FA cup personally.

Should we drop out of the Premier League too? Not likely to win that either, really.

Break his legs? That'd do it.

You're aiming lower than winning the Champions League though - in fact just writing it off.

I don't want to write it off, just have no belief we have any chance of winning it.

I've got bored of seeing us do pretty much the same thing every season, get out of the group then get knocked out when we play someone decent, we're very predictable in that sense.

Pot kettle black comes to mind, are you not the same person who always bleats on about us not being ambtious etc. if Aw said what you did, you'd be calling him all sorts of names.
