    I didn't suggest that Porto would be an easy win, just that they'd probably be the best draw from what's available.
    Our other options are PSG, Dortmund, Real Madrid, Bayern and Juventus, so it's no slight on Porto.
    They're an experienced European side and would give us a real test.

    Having said that, I wouldn't put a lot of stock in their group stage performance.
    They had an easy draw on paper at the time and the form of the clubs that they were up against has been poor.
    The 5th place Russian side, Turkey's 7th place team and a club that are 13th in the Bundesliga? Not the hardest group.
    No English, Spanish or Italians, plus they avoided the top German and French teams and anyone with silly oil money.

    Porto are 80/1 for the CL.
    Which is exactly Utd's level these days.
    That would be a great tie.

    Not very well, judging by the hack managing your lot...

    Fraudiola is whinging about De Bruyne being exhausted last season

    Here's a thought: maybe don't have him start 36 out of 38 Premier League games or play 90 minutes or both legs of the Season Killer Cup semi final against Bristol City. When you've got an expensively-assembled squad, maybe uses it a little better?

    Wolves 7th, West Ham 9th. I'm pleasantly surprised for Wolves to be where they are but not at all surprised where West Ham are considering the coach they have there. He's a top coach and should Poch decide to leave us then Pellegrini's the man I'd approach.

    I understand he only signed once he was assured that Phil Jones was staying as well. That’s some partnership guaranteed for the foreseeable future!!!! <laugh>

    Goon and Chelsea wins will really damage United...they could end up 11 points off 4th tonight needing 2 teams to screw up.

    Arsenal are gonna win this. Saints can’t defend. And Chelsea are 2-0 up, so we’re relying on united getting a result, basically. <yikes>
