PSV

[aws]

Am I right in saying we can't draw them until the semis?

[coop]

Not sure on that mate. I thought it was an open draw now where you can be picked against any other team.

[Neil G]

It's an open draw from now on:

 

Knockout phase

From the last 16 until the semi-finals, clubs play two matches against each other on a home and away basis with the same rules as the qualifying rounds applied. In the last 16, group winners play runners-up other than teams from their own pool or nation, while from the quarter-finals on the draw is free.

I'd settle for PSV, without question. I'd rather avoid Man U and Chelsea, to be honest. In the best of all possible worlds, they'd draw each other...

[Red Mist]

Hope ManUre and Chelski get one another.

[Neil G]

I'd prefer to avoid Chelsea and Milan. They would both be fired up to get revenge for 2005, and these things often have a funny way of evening out.

 

I expect the Mancs to get PSV as they're the weakest side left in the draw.

[RedKnight]

Arsenal out again the shit cunts. Love it.

[Sponky]

over to legs we have no one to fear. i dont think it matters who you draw at this point. the most you can really hope for is a home draw.

Thanks Neil. I thought when we shared the group with chelsea that we were free of them until the semis. I must have been wrong unless they've changed the rules.

 

Anyway it's good news as it increases our chances of avoiding the mancs or chelsea.

Their fans were out before they were.

don't we now do last 8 last 4 at the same time

[Carradona]

Yes.

Gooners are wankers.

the Mancs are "lucky, lucky bastards " when it comes to cup draws. I fully expect them to draw the weakest side left in the comp.

I dont think Uefa will seriously allow 2 English teams to contest the final.

They will fear a bloodbath at thier showpiece.

Two of the teams will draw each other in the 1/4's and if there are two left next round they will meet in the semis.

[Stephen Adams.]

Anybody know if the first team drawn out is home first or do they have a separate draw for that too?

You never know with those jokers at uefa.

[coop]

I agree with Anny Road is set on. Hopefully that will mean Chelsea v Man Utd in the quarters and we beat Chelsea again in the semi.

unfortunatly theres nothing they could do about it. then again platini would love us & the mancs to self destrut so they could ban us again & let the 3rd team in the likes of moldova get through.

Unfortunately I think if it did happen and we got to the final against the Mancs, we would self destruct. I honestly could not see any other outcome.

If we are going to draw the mancs let it be before the final. I want a good festive time in Athens, if we do get through - not a hate filled atmosphere.

Thats what i think. Two english teams will be drawn against each other. So I hope its United Vs Chelsea with us against PSV or continuing our Spanish odyssey against Valencia. But in reality I see us getting the Chavs and United getting PSV.
