Really dont want the scousers today
Prefer not to get Barca either
Teams in draw
Man Utd
Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
Barcelona
Villareal
Porto
Bayern
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?
The first legs will be on 7 and 8 April and the return legs on 14 and 15 April.
This is the my prediction for the draw
Chelsea v villarreal
Bacelona v Porto
Bayern Munich v Liverpool
Arsenal v Man United
United are nailed on to get Porto or Villareal.
Chelsea v villarreal
Liverpool v Barcelona
Bayern Munich v Arsenal
Porto v Man United
Thats what i reckon
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
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 (http://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.
Hope it is ... it'd be a bit of craic
I must say this old Liverpool 'we don;t fear anyone in Europe' is a bit warped.
I don;t want United, if we meet United will rightly be favourites.
Is the draw on Setanta? I am sure LFCtv will have a touchline reporter in Istanbul for it anyway.

What was it you said? If they sold Berbatov and signed Ibrahimavoic they would be worth going over to see?
Told you United would get Porto !
Easy draw for United, there'ds a surprise.
Pool get Chelsea. Away second, which is a major blow.
And just to compound things, United get the easy semi-final draw.
Villarreal v Arsenal
Manchester United v FC Porto
Liverpool v Chelsea

Referee has said Cech would have been sent off and a penalty awarded. You have also no evidence to support it being a ghost goal as it was inconclusive, so a bit of a stupid post.

It is certainly on the cards. I would say United should get their ok, Chelsea or the Pool to reach the other.
Arsenal Should have too much for Villareal over two legs, Utd to beat Porto setting up a very tight semi, Utds record at Arsenal is not good. Other half Chelsea Lpool is a toss of a coin game, ghost goals and John Arne Risses head not likely to appear this time. Barca v Bayern could be a goal fest heres hoping. When are the matches played?
Excellent Draw from Utd point of view. Should make the Final but nothing easy at this stage.
I will go for:
Arsenal
Utd
Liverpool on pens
Bayern
with Liverpool v Utd Final ;D ;D
Chelsea have to be happy. Home in 2nd legs of both 1/4 and semi..
Huge advantage..

Man United 11/5

Odds changed again:
Man United 15/8
Barcelona 11/4
Chelsea 6/1
Liverpool 13/2
Arsenal 7/1
Bayern Munich 12/1
Villarreal 33/1
Porto 50/1
I think Arsenal will beat Utd in the semis. Liverpool Chelsea is too close to call
I just hope Liverpool are not too cocky playing Porto in the final.
Think the scousers are looking the best bet of the English(purely based on price) at 13/2 they will chin chelsea by boring them out of the park and sneaking a wonder goal by Gerard
Truth be told i wouldn't mind who wins it aslong as they weren't english. It would be worth it just to hear the ballbags on tv crying about why they didn't win it. It would be even better on RTE to see the Irish ones who know more of that culture than their own.
Nail if you get a chance lad can you see what price the bookies are giving for a non English winner ??? (if they have this bet0 good stuff.
Bayern could be the best value. they've started to show some good form recently and cruised through the last 16
Arsenal will not be too far away. Will have everyone fit by the semis and will defo dispose of Villareal. 7/1 on them is best value.

I would rather have got Barcelona than Chelsea, really tough draw especially with Essien back & Drogba in a bit of form. I have a feeling Arsenal will be hard to beat over two legs and will beat United.

My two-pennies worth:
Think Arsenal will go through against Villareal by an odd goal
United will coast through
Liverpool and Chelsea is too hard to call in my opinion
Barca will squeeze past Bayern
If Chelsea beat Pool I think Barca will beat them in the Semi's, but if Pool beat Chelasea I fancy Pool to beat Barca in the semi's. Still with me??
United should squeeze past Arsenal.
So for me it's either United vs Barca/Liverpool. If I had to choose, I think it'll be United vs Barca. Think the second leg at Stamford Bridge could sway the QF chelsea's way!

Who said it was flawless? Even the most bitter anti Liverpool/Benitez person would have to admit his record in Europe is tremendous, especially when you look at the quality of some of the players he had for those games. Inter, Barcelona, Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea and Arsenal have all been beaten in the knock out stages under Benitez. It could be argued they were underdogs in every one of those ties. Marseille over two legs was Uefa Cup under Ged Houllier.
A lot of silly Liverpool fans with short memories complaining about United 'easy' draw.
If United get to the final this year the 4 teams they are likely to play in the knock out stages are Inter, Porto, Arsenal and possibly Chelsea.
In the knock out stages of last season's CL the 3 teams that Liverpool played were Inter, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Did Rafa fix the draw last year too?
Dont be daft AFS, Fergie fixed the draw last year as well so that Utd would win the CL
He is allowed to take his pick of teams every year, he even gets to pick the next round possibilities

I see.
He was a bit of an eejit making us play Lyon last year when we could've got Fenerbahce, Olympiacos or Celtic. Then the idiot made us play Roma when we could've got Fenerbahce again, or Schalke.
He ballsed up the year before too. Making us play Roma in the quarters when we could've had someone shit like PSV. Wonder who it was the got PSV in that round?
view on the draw is
utd v porto- to cruise past porto obv the draw wasnt fixed but arguably the three teams united may have wanted to avoid are on the other side of the draw plus bayern had a ridiculous win in previous round so are obv no mugs. ronaldo be in for a fierce reception in away leg. united underestimated porto in 04 slur alex wont let them do this again
barca v bayern- could be the most open draw of the round. barca from midfield up should have 2 much. bayern will be able to get at barca's defence though with klose out 4 8 weeks cant look past barca
pool v chelski- will be nip and tuck again.from a lpool perspective more pleased mascherano not available for the home leg, though whoever deputises will have to step up to the mark. drogba on great form, so to essien. torres and gerrard both flying. should be an intriguing tie too close to call.
villareal v arsenal- arsenal will be favourites for this one. was talking to a arsenal supporter in work today before the draw he said this would be the type of game arsenal could lose on something like a stupid away leg. with arsenal having a number of players coming back though this is a good draw for them. arsenal to go through 3-1 over 2 legs

I fancy the a scouser/Utd final now
Chelsea & Barca are arguably better teams but the fat spanish waiter knows how to get a result over 2 legs in Europe
That would be tasty
CL Semi Final 2008
First Leg: Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea
Second Leg: Chelsea 3-2 Liverpool
I don't get it?
Rafa has overcome Chelsea twice in recent years... ???
Just making the point that Benitez's record over two legs is not flawless depsite what 5Live and ITV would have you believe. I seem to remember losses over two legs agin' Marseille and Benfica over the past few years as well.
Nobody said it was flawless, but losing two two-legged matches in the times he has been there is pretty impressive.
