I'd like Ajax. Good team, plays nice, positive football, great "heritage". Should be a great tie.

It’s a bonus that we made it here to be fair so bring on whoever. We’ve got to beat someone good at some point if we’re going to win this.

Plus it may be a last CL tie for a while if we don’t finish 4th or higher, so embrace the likes of Barca I say.

Porto should be the easiest. Atletico, if they get through, will be the hardest in terms of style I believe. Also I hope we dodge City.

Juventus/Atletico/Barcelona will be a certain loss because they are a horrible matchup. We will want to either play a team with less quality or a team with more quality that wants to give us space in behind.

Ajax and Porto are the easy choices.

We'll probably get Barcelona or Bayern/Liverpool. City will get Porto.

So I think we would be favorites against Ajax, Schalke and Porto (at full strength).

50/50 against Tottenham, Lyon.

Slight to heavy underdogs against the rest.

Surely we'd be favourites against Lyon? I mean, we've just knocked out fecking PSG!

Ajax would be interesting. Our style might cause them problems and vice versa. Wouldn't like Atletico if they get through.

I want to save Spurs for the semi finals. Easy way into the finals...

In all seriousness, might want to avoid City and Barcelona, other than that, don't care

Ideal Porto or Ajax but we'll get Barcelona.

Before people start bleating about Ajax, they are still a very inexperienced outfit. We did them with utmost ease in the final played 2 years ago and I back us to do them over the course of 2 legs even though they have improved a lot.

Should be an interesting draw, all the teams left in it, minus a couple of obvious underdogs, have to fancy their chances. If not as favourites, at least on the night.

Well after what has happened today - no team scare me. But Porto does sound nice!
