    I find it difficult to support the Germans against anything remotely English.

    However, I will make an acceptance this one time!

    Upon news of that draw, Man Utd's odds dropped from 16-1 to 25-1. Their overall probability of qualifying for next year's CL is now 8.6%

    interesting draw.

    press will be filled with 1999 no doubt.

    i think the psg chelsea game is very interesting. i don't know who will win. it'll be close.


    i would have expected odds of 100/1 for utd frankly.

    The market is probably being influenced by #delusion after Man Utd turning the corner and winning a home game

    Piss easy draw. Considering no sides ever won it twice its the perfect draw.

    Of course, anything can happen - apart from United winning against Bayern over two legs. Looking forward to watching, will be so great if we get back into the CL

  15. Barca, Real, PSG and Bayern in the semi's. I'd say they were the strongest four teams this season too.

    i suppose they have to offest risk. i mean a meteor could strike the planet too but the risk to a bookies of taking best at 100/1 on utd is still low. but i'd not take the bet unless it had a bayern win and all bets returned clause.

    good promo there for someone

  18. I know its long odds for a reason and I don't believe they will win the tie against Bayern never mind the trophy but, does anyone else find 34-1 tempting?

    Not over 2 legs

    Oh wait, that's to win, not just to beat Bayern

    So no

    Only if you're prepared to ignore the reason they're 34-1 and you believe they can win the tie and possibly the trophy.
