[Bensars]

thats as good a draw as united could have hoped for !

What time is the draw for the wooden spoon competition on?

[Denn Forever]

Europa league draw at midday.

Will Hargreaves be hoping to be back for the Bayern game?

[thebigfella]

That was definitely fixed, I hear Fergie emailed his prefered draw through last night.

Well in that case he's an idiot cos he certainly shouldn't have picked Bayern to play either side of the Chelsea match.

Fcuk me some people cannot take a joke or do you spend all day on this thread looking for things to wind you up?

IMO Bayern or Bordeaux are the what he would have been after. Avoided the 3 other big teams, Lyon would be tricky and CSKA would be a pain considering the distance. Bayern are average enough and very lucky to be at this stage of the tournament.

That sort of shit just gets a bit tiresome after a while.

[DirtyDozen12]

Underestimate the Germans at your peril.  this will not be an easy tie, Bayern will be stiff opposition, they have a right bit of quality in their team.

NEVER WRITE OFF THE GERMANS.

You heard it here first.

[mountainboii]

They're no Barcelona but probably have enough quality to cause one or two problems. I'd be very surprised if United weren't able to turn them over though.

Is Ribery fit these days, seems to be in and out of their team? Looking at a few of their recent lineouts they're likely to look something like this:

Butt

Lahm  van Buyten  Badstuder Alaba

Schweinsteiger van Bommel Muller

Ribery   Robben

Gomez

The 'oul saying of 'nothing easy at this stage' etc etc is true but the draw is the best Utd could have hoped for as Inter & Barca have been avoided until the final if Utd get that far.

Bayern wont be easy & if Utd revert to pre-Christmas form or Rooney gets injured then Bayern will go through.

If not it will be a Utd/Lyon semi

[ross4life]

So Bayern it is! i certainly won't be thinking of a Semi final until united Play the German's! last Year Porto almost knocked united out so nothing easy at this stage & having to play Chelsea in between the bayern tie's makes it s a extremely difficult week

bayern were lucky in the last round i hope their luck runs out for this one 

p.s i have feeling maureen will make the final this year

[EC Unique]

As easy a route to the Final as could have been hoped for. Is the first match home or away?

[ross4life]

Away first on the tuesday, chelsea on sat 1245 & home to bayern on the wed 

if united get to the semi it's at home first

[EC Unique]

Not too bad. Would have been worse if it was away on the Wed before Chelsea. Utd have lost serious points in weekend games after away European games.

[full back]

Lets hope there is plenty of this on Sunday
