    For me - Napoli! They look scarily good on counter attack.

    I want to play against Milan - we need to be on our toes and our speed will kill them off.

    Basel. Same reason as Napoli, very good on the counter. They scored 3 at Old Trafford, so they don't fear big sides. I want Leverkusen, they seem very beatable.

    Bayern are very dangerous on the counter especially with the likes of Ribery and Robin so I'd rather that we didn't have to face them.

    We can't get drawn against Bayern, they won their group.

    They didn't qualify.

    I'd like us to avoid Napoli and maybe Milan, otherwise I'll be happy with who we get.

    I remember how we all were happy to be up against Birmingham during the Carling Cup. The image of that gooner who was seated alone clenching the canon on his jersey just about to cry still rings in my mind.

    Possibles:

    Napoli
    CSKA Moscow
    Basel
    Lyon
    Bayer Leverkusen
    Marseille (Not sure if Arsenal can face them after playing them in the group)
    Zenit
    AC Milan

    There aren't really any easy draws in there.

    We can't get Marseille, we can get any of the others.

    I don't fear any of them tbh..

    We just want a route that avoids facing Barca/Real/Bayern in the quarters.

    Preferably though, I'd want CSKA, Leverkusen, Basel or Lyon in the next round. Then potentially Inter, APOEL, Chelsea or Benfica in the next.

    Zenit will be a difficult trip and everyone knows about Milan and Napoli. All are very beatable over two legs though. Especially since we have the final leg at home (I think?), for winning our group. All we have to do is not lose away. (Wich is why I think Zenit will be a difficult tie, as they're very strong at home)
