That's an excellent draw for Gers. There are no easy teams at this stage of the competion but of all the teams we could have drawn, we have avoided the big guns.

We're not long back from Spain there and we talked about going back if Gers were drawn with a Spanish team, seems it all going to plan

Chelsea v Barcelona - what a cracker of a game that will be! Seems all the British teams have been paired with the Spanish other than Liverpool of course who no doubt will show Man U how it should be done

Afternoon Hay
What do you think of drawing Villarreal? Must be considered a good draw, you could have drawn us

I'm happy to get Benfica, and chuffed for Arsenal and Chelsea

Brian

It's alright Bri, I'll sort it out for you and move it to the correct thread

As you can see above I'm delighted with drawing Villareal, if we approach the game in the right manner I see a real opportunity there of progressing to the next stage but it will still be a tough game. It's important that we keep a clean sheet at home and hopefully we can score at least once - if Lovenpants can be bothered

Real Madrid aren't exactly firing on all cylinders at present so if there was ever a time to play them it's now, having said that Arsenal are not having the best of seasons either.

Chelsea definately have the toughest game but it will be a game not to miss, I will miss it though as there's only one place I'll be I'll get the re-run on Sky at some point no doubt!

I'm sure Liverpool will be able to defeat Benfica. They played some good stuff what I saw of them against Man U though or perhaps that's because it was Man U making them look good

Come on the British teams

Thanks Hay
we old geezers need our hands holding

Liverpool looked ace yesterday with 3 great goals but i guess the oppostion wasn't up to much, Sunday will be a sterner test.

Form of all the teams could change by the end of Feb but all the british teams must be in with a shout.

The draw good but we are likely to have another boring boring final.
There will be no time for Barca's "Show Bizz". This time they may concentrate to winning.The blues have a mantle to defend their last win though.
Arsenal may beat the fallen and stambling gallacticals while Liverpool has to blow their little finger every time.I am just happy about thier improved game apparently, they may tip-toe through like the last league.

You thought the last final boring!!!!!

 

[Mile-O]

Yeah, it was all one-sided passabout stuff.

Then the gods decided to have a change of mind in the dying mins.
It was a lucky save for them, but there is no survival this time.
We need a game that looks like that of Yesterday.

We need a game that looks like that of Yesterday.

In black and white?

In black and white?

Not necessarily. It may be in Blue and Red(with black stripes)

Let's hope all the British teams do well...that goes for you as well Rich, don't be spiteful just becasue Man U aren't there

I'll support any British team that has a chance, of course that'll restrict it to England

I think you'll find you do have to be in it to have a "chance" at all, more than what can said for Man U for example.....at least we lasted longer in the competition...

Besides you have to support the underdogs Don't let me down now Rich and get cheering for The Gers

The Americans aren't playing, are they?
Nah, they can't be, it's not a world series.
