.. it’s funny because it’s trueAll those European greats
and City and Spurs
Other than City, I wouldn't be that arsed by an English team draw.We’ve had shite luck with cup draws this season and I don’t expect that to change tomorrow. I think we’ll get Barcelona or one of the English teams.
Are you suggesting UEFA are ..... .... ..... corrupt?!City vs Juventus would be the tie of the round. Can’t see Uefa not making this happen. It would be quite the battle to witness
Oh, absolutely. Thrilled to be in the draw myself but at this stage, it’s only natural to start plotting ways to the final and every fan hopes for the easiest passage possible. I don’t want to face any English team just yet if I’m honest (they’re all ahead of us in the table for a reason) and it would be soul-crushing to exit by their hand.Other than City, I wouldn't be that arsed by an English team draw.
Not saying it's a gimme but on current form, we'd definitely have a good chance. We'd have a chance v City too (less though) but I want them playing Barca.
Given where we were three months ago (and where we were 8 days ago), happy to be in the draw
Ideal is City v Barca, Spurs v Ajax, Liverpool v Juve, us v Porto.
Nothing of the sortAre you suggesting UEFA are ..... .... ..... corrupt?!

Keep that prediction to yourself, nightmare scenario.My prediction:
Barca vs. Juventus
Spurs vs. Ajax
Liverpool vs. Porto
and... United vs. City - big call I know, but I think our terrible luck with cup draws will overpower City's unbelievable fortune in cup draws.
I'm sure we'll see Messi vs. Ronaldo at some point, so I'm predicting that for the next round.

I want essentially anyone but an English team. it's slightly less special playing them in these games rather than a team from another country and I wouldn't be that confident about playing any of them, they're all ahead of us for a reason (although I would say we would probably be favourites against Tottenham now). Anyone else would be OK, if it's Barca or Juve then we would be underdogs but I don't think it would be beyond us to beat either of them and the two legs would be brilliant occasions while if it's Ajax or Porto then I would confidently back United to get through.Pretty inevitable we'll get all English tie in this round I think.
Just wondering which of the three Man. United would most/least like to meet. I'm obviously guessing City to avoid and Spurs you'd quite fancy over two legs.
Yep Fear most of it will happen though...Keep that prediction to yourself, nightmare scenario.
At this point in the game it doesn't matter who we get. All those teams are qualityHoping for Porto or Ajax, would settle for Spurs, really don't want the rest. I'm fearing for the worst.
Well, at least we're ahead of Porto...Tweet

That is the dream although I’d prefer Porto QFCity Barca Juve Pool on one side of the draw please
United Spurs Porto Ajax on the other please
...I don’t ask for much
Sure, but the gulf in quality between Porto and the likes of City Barcelona, Juventus and Liverpool is pretty maasive.At this point in the game it doesn't matter who we get. All those teams are quality
They need a few days to sort the results out.I want Barcelona.
Also, Friday is too late. Should have been today.
There is a 22.86% chance that every English club plays a non-English opponent in the 1/4 finals.Pretty inevitable we'll get all English tie in this round I think.

I agree the standard goes up, still rather play Porto than barca or Juve.At this point in the game it doesn't matter who we get. All those teams are quality
I’d take thatCity Barca Juve Pool on one side of the draw please
United Spurs Porto Ajax on the other please

Hope it’s Liverpool that play one and not City.There is a 22.86% chance that every English club plays a non-English opponent in the 1/4 finals.
If Utd have to play one hope it’s not city.
Spurs I'd fancy us against but I'd be knowing it will be very difficult. City I'd say is the one I want least and Liverpool I actually would fancy us to edge it out but the build-up would be too much to take.Pretty inevitable we'll get all English tie in this round I think.

Yep, same here.That is the dream although I’d prefer Porto QF
Let’s make it happenI’d take that
