Champions League, Final 16 - Draw 11/12, 11am

[Joe Strummer]

We were lucky in the group. I think we're due a big boy. United will probably get Seville.

[El Rojo]

Just did mine.

 

Tried it 29 times and Manchester United got Basel 19 times and Porto 10 times.

[Jay86]

[TheHowieLama]

I've done it 5 times and we got Porto x 3, Shaktar x 2.

 

Juventus it is then

 

5 times, he's done it 5 times.

As long as we’re away first I don’t really care.

I absolutely do not care who we get.

[Guest]

What the fuck am I looking at there?

That chart seems to suggest that there's very little difference between the odds of us playing any of the teams at all. 

 

I feel like I studied a very complex chart and learned fuck all.

[TheHowieLama]

I feel like I did after listening to Moof's record of the week - confused.

[chacha shakoor]

If stuff falls our way it's possible we face Basel first and then Porto/Besiktas. Probably never going to happen though

[Chip Butty]

Everyone has teams they do want to get and teams they don't won't to get, though I know 100% no one wants to get us in the draw. We're a feared team, so fuck it, we get who get and let them do the worrying. 

[Allan]

As long as we’re away first I don’t really care.

 

We are. As group winners, we play the second leg at home.

 

I'd personally want to avoid Shakhtar, due to the travel that will be required for the first leg.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

We will get Juventus, Bayern or Real. United will get Porto.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I might have a midday beer to make it more exciting.

Never trust a Monday, G.

 

Any nice Russian grub to report about from lunch yesterday?

I cooked mate, so no Russian food. We did have this Russian cake for afters, which is one of my favourites. It was lovely. 

 

Just dropped the youngest lad off at a school pick up point, they are on a 3 day mini holiday which his class won from some spelling competition. Fucking freezing out, especially waiting around for 30 minutes once we got there. 

 

Beer chilling in the fridge and building up for the draw. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Xabi Alonso doing the draw, looking as smooth as ever. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Come on Xabi, Basel, Shakhtar or Porto please.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

As long as we’re away first I don’t really care.

 

All group winners are away first with the advantage of playing at home in the second leg. 

[Oh Buoy]

Please don't be us.

 

Phew, Juve v Spurs!

[Red House]

Juve-Spurs

[Red House]

Basel for us please, XAbi!

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Porto away first
