Gone are the days of playing knockout ties vs Marseille, Chelsea and Schalke en route to the final...

They aren't all that apart from Messi. He's all that and more.

I knew this would happen. If we win the FA and Euro cups they'll be well deserved.

What’s the point of having David Gill if he won’t rig it for us? He needs to do better in the future. :)

That's how it was drawn but because of the Manchester police we'll have to play at home first so that there aren't two big CL games in the city in the same week.
Ah yes I remember that now.. Feck we have the odds against us.

Barca play Atletico on 6th April 3 days before the quarterfinal. They can't rest Messi for that.

Hopefully they give Barcelona a tough match which leads them to being knackered against us..

Spurs have been absolutely fecked by this draw. 3 defeats to City in the space of a week will kill them. Will be similar to when Arsenal got slapped twice in 5 days last season.

Hmmm,ideally I would have loved us to be drawn against Porto or Ajax,but the CL is all about testing yourself against the best so a CL Quarterfinal against Barcelona should set the pulses racing.They are the favourites going into the tie,but there’s no reason why we can’t push them all the way...I”m dissapointed that Liverpool have been drawn against Porto though...

Good shout. Even got the home and away draws right too (before Barca v United was reversed)
Well he just gave United the hardest tie and Liverpool the easiest! I'd say most Liverpool fans were praying for that outcome!

Dunno how I feel. It's great to be back watching the big occasions and at least go into it having some chance, but it's bollocks seeing the media darlings get the easy draws.

Don't think Barcelona will be too pleased about drawing us either. Pique was at United when the spirit Ole has revived was still in operation, so he will know its not the same United they would have been expecting to face under Jose!

Can anyone point me to a list of all the teams we've drawn in cups so far this season?

Our run of fixtures isnt the worst around the Barca game. Looks like we have 7 days prep for a home game. And then West Ham at home isnt a bad game to rotate / rest and make use of squad (and everton away after the second leg).

Spurs have been absolutely fecked by this draw. 3 defeats to City in the space of a week will kill them. Will be similar to when Arsenal got slapped twice in 5 days last season.
Can see Spurs drawing one of the matches but it wont matter.

The stars are aligned for Ole. I see us winning the CL this year.

Don't be surprised of Messi misses the two games for running tummy or something. :lol:

Why is everyone moaning about Liverpool’s draw? It’s really cringey tbh
