The two Madrid's Barcelona Zenit Wolfsburg Out of all of them I'd have Zenit, it'll be a pain to go to Russia, but think out of all of the teams we have the best chance vs them. We are owed another game VS Real Madrid though, that'd be nice, something different, even Athletico. Please no Barca, just like Munich, bored of playing them.
Well on the bright side, better than playing FC Strazburg and the mighty Slava Shakili somewhere in an obscure eastern European country that's actually in Asia.
I don't mind. We're through and we're going to have to beat the best teams if we're going to win it, bring it on.
We always get Barca. In order of teams I hope we draw from best outcome to worst; Zenit Wolfsburg. Atl. Madrid Real Madrid Barcelona
To be honest, it seems like no matter which team we get, from Monaco to Bayern Munich, we always seem to go out. We genuinely have nothing to lose and there are no expectations on us, so whoever we get, let's give them as good as we get and see where we go from there.
Honestly I'd rather if we faced Barca or Bayern again we faced them in the final. On our day in a one off game, we can match and beat them, but over 2 legs? Even I'd doubt our ability to get the job done vs. them.
Better face the top teams now than later. At least we'll find out at what level we are operating at and take it from there. As Piskie says, you'll have to beat the best to lift the cup...
I've paid my respects at his tomb, they have his body preserved in a glass case, although i think that might have been in Moscow.. The city is ****hole
I don't really care, if I'm honest I don't expect us to get past the Quarters at the most, so if we go out next round then it just allows us to concentrate on the league. We've avoided the Europa, we've qualified for the knockouts, helped preserve England's seeding to some extent. But I'd rather concentrate on the league than the CL. Plus I just know we'll get Real or Barca (more likely Barca) but even if we got through then we'd just get Bayern in the next round.
You couldn't expect an OAP to travel by boat and horse and cart over to Russia - I was surprised enough to learn he was involved in the Chartist movement!
I'd like us to draw Zenit, Wolfsburg, Atletico, Real, Barca, in that order. I'd rather avoid Barca, Real or Bayern over two legs so if we can get to the further stages of the competition we may get a favourable draw and then who knows what can happen in a final. I don't buy into the idea of playing the best teams first, I think you've built more confidence and belief if you get to the last couple of rounds of the competition and are more likely to up your game and not fear the other teams. I really don't want us to get Barca, I'm fed up of playing Barca or Bayern straight away in the CL, we've had plenty of recent games with both, I'd much rather play a different team. It's impressive that we have qualified form the group stage 16 years running, we always have a CL knockout fixture to look forward to.
