Champions League Draw

[hans kraay fan club]

The draw ALMOST guarantees one English team in the final. *unless CKRs mob can knock out 2 of them.

From an English clubs perspective that is an excellent draw. I would imagine 3 English teams in the semis. Also a very real possibility of an all English final if Man U can beat Barcalona.

Final = Liverpool vs Man Utd

God, I hope Man U don't win the Champions League, I'd never hear the end of it.

arsenal will cruise through against liverpool. im certain of this.

liverpool never even THREATEN the goal when at Arsenal. easy pickings.

also the whole 'anfield euro atmosphere' wont quite be the same against arsenal as it would against chelsea or a foreign team.

 

[Pavilionaire]

So potentially Liverpool's winning route is to beat Arsenal, then Chelsea, then Man Utd?

The draw doesn't do much for me. You'd expect Man Utd, Barcelona and Chelsea to get through fairly comfortably. As for Arsenal vs Liverpool - big deal - it's only the Quarters, and not as if we haven't seen them play each other recently.

you will get to see them 3 times in one week next month.

cant wait to see what the two managers do with their squad for the league game in the middle. vital for arsenal, not so for liverpool.

Keep telling yourself that and remember how many scousers will get tix at the Emirates which WILL make a difference, I think the whole LIVERPOOL IN EUROPE factor will tell. I am of course assuming that the ticket allocation will be far greater for the visitors than a league game?

I am hoping for an Arsenal win, as long as they can actually go the whole way for the 1st time, I'd really hate United to turn Arsenal over like they did the other week in the final.

It does beg the question, that if an all English final happens, will it be moved to Wembley? I think as UEFA are in charge, we already know the answer.

Can you really imagine thousands upon thousands of scousers and mancs all travelling to Moscow and behaving themselves?

The Juve - AC Milan final a few years ago was played at Old Trafford. They didn't move it to Italy.

Liverpool still fighting for 4th so fairly important I would have thought.
