Champions league omens!

The disappointing thing is they will or should have wrapped up the title before they play us so any league games they can take the foot off the gas while we are still scrapping for 2nd or 3rd in the leaue.

 

I do not think it will be the cake walk for City some seem to think. We beat them at Anfield and the game at City was close until Manes sending off. I think away goals are going to be important though.

What is it about UEFA and us getting drawn against other English teams? In the Rafa years, we were drawn against Chelsea four times and Arsenal in the space of four seasons. Barca and Real have NEVER met at this stage even though both teams are in the draw every year. Spooky.

Poxy draw...not only do we miss a proper big European tie but we probably have to crash out of Europe in front of a load of gloating mancs.

 

Poxy - it isn't even about how tough it is, all ties at this stage are gonna be tough...it is just not what Europe is all about.

Looking at the fixtures I don't think City can win the league before we play them however could win it away at Man Utd. But if results go "against" them before the match at Old Trafford they may decide that their lead is so comfortable they can afford to rest players for that match.

5 years with Chelsea! We drew them in the group stages as well.

Would have preferred to be home second leg. It's going to be tough, but then they all would have been tough.

 

They said that about the last 16 but it was a piece of piss.

 

I reckon we would have shredded Roma, Juve and Sevilla to, um, shreds. 

 

As it is, I'm not so confident.  Rich twats with their shiny bald genius manager.  Fucksticks.
