Don't care who we get. If your gonna win it you gotta beat em.....

Would not mind getting the bin dippers at this stage. They are set up nicely for a knock down... When are these matches to be played?

el_cuervo_fc · March 20, 2009, 09:45:28 AM

The first legs will be on 7 and 8 April and the return legs on 14 and 15 April.

Chelsea v villarreal
Bacelona v Porto
Bayern Munich v Liverpool
Arsenal v Man United

United are nailed on to get Porto or Villareal.

Practice run just brought up Liverpool v United and Chelsea v Arsenal.

Don't fancy meetin utd at all.One reason being I'll feel physically sick for the duration of both matches

winsamsoon · March 20, 2009, 10:22:41 AM

Chelsea v Barcelona
Bayern V Man Utd
Porto v Liverpool
Arsenal v Villareal

United always turn the easiest draw with the second leg always at home. Liverpool are the same arabs.

Does the actual draw start at 11am?

There is always a bit of shite talking before they start pulling the balls out.

www.uefa.org usually have a wee pop-up graphic as it happens (or near enough) so I'll be leaving it minimised in work until the fun starts.

I really only fancy Barca, United or Liverpool for it this year. Unfortunately I think United will end up playing another English team in teh final again.

I think UEFA are due to announce that United are getting a bye to the final and the other 7 teams will have a round robin playoff to see who qualifies to face them. Seems fair to me.

Current prices from Stan James

Man United    5/2
Barcelona      5/2
Chelsea      11/2
Liverpool      6/1
Arsenal      9/1
Bayern Munich    10/1
Villarreal      25/1
Porto      33/1

See how much they change?

Hope for Liverpool United, a winner takes all match with the losers having to delete their official thread from the non gaa discussion section... Agreed?

Never understood that saying. A lot of championships have been won with the help of someone taking a favourit or bogey team out somewhere.

are all teams in the one hat and anyone can get anyone?

Yes.

I'm convinced it will be United v. Liverpool.
