So, favourites have been drawn against non-favourites. Conspirative theories will have a field day.
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.
The Cafe is fairly obsessed with Liverpool, I'm sure it's the same with their equivalent.Why is everyone moaning about Liverpool’s draw? It’s really cringey tbh
We only have a 7 day break if we lose to Wolves tomorrow. Otherwise it'll be the FA cup semi on the weekend before we play Barca. What are the odds we end up playing City in that semi?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).
Can see Spurs drawing one of the matches but it wont matter.
One could argue that drawing Napoli, PSG and Red Star in the group stage is not very lucky at all.Of course Liverpool drew the worst team left in the competition. I've never seen a team be as lucky as they have been this season. It's absurd.
You got it.With Pogba scoring from a long range shot
oh gosh, youre right. And I can see that happening. Or us getting watford / palace as they play Millwall.We only have a 7 day break if we lose to Wolves tomorrow. Otherwise it'll be the FA cup semi on the weekend before we play Barca. What are the odds we end up playing City in that semi?
You have to be naive to think they are not influenced in some way. It is like hearing the other day Fifa got 850m for Qatar and be shocked. Look at Citys draws in every competition this year, it is an absolute joke.So, favourites have been drawn against non-favourites. Conspirative theories will have a field day.
We should get evra in the tunnel at OT to feck with his head just before kick off.Suarez will shed a few pounds and play like a man possessed.
It’s unreal isn’t it? As if they even need the luck of the draw.Bloody City.
They are going to be in:
The semi finals of the FA Cup after playing Rotherham, Burnley, Newport and Swansea.
The semi finals of the Champions League after playing Lyon, Hoffenheim, Shaktar, Shalke and Spurs.
Winners of the EFL Cup after playing Oxford, Fulham, Leicester and Burton Albion to reach the final.
They are the poxiest team in every single football draw they're entered into. I'm not totally sure Porto would've been an easier draw for them than Spurs.
Never happen, they play the day before us in the CL don't they! Be the best draw all round really!We only have a 7 day break if we lose to Wolves tomorrow. Otherwise it'll be the FA cup semi on the weekend before we play Barca. What are the odds we end up playing City in that semi?
The FA Cup was made to be sacrificed in circumstances such as these.We only have a 7 day break if we lose to Wolves tomorrow. Otherwise it'll be the FA cup semi on the weekend before we play Barca. What are the odds we end up playing City in that semi?
I think you have to be a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist to think they are rigged.You have to be naive to think they are not influenced in some way.

It's time United got some revenge on barca for those finals. Can't wait for these games.Pogba winner v’s Juve in the final then.
Seriously though...United/Barca...proper European glamour tie. Buzzing for it.
I'm not excluding corruption, just saying that draws like fuel conspiracy theories. Some of which might be true, actually.You have to be naive to think they are not influenced in some way.

If only that chap misses both matches it would be perfectNot afraid. Beside Messi, we have the tools to give them a torrid time.
Of course it isn't rigged, but City will likely make easy work of Spurs.Surely if it was rigged in City's favour they would have got Porto and Liverpool would have got Spurs?
I don't believe it's rigged but I'm not sure they'd prefer Porto.Surely if it was rigged in City's favour they would have got Porto and Liverpool would have got Spurs?
I'd say that's irrelevant. Because ever since City have sorted out their backline Spurs can't get near them. It's grimacing watching City play the ball around Spurs players like they aren't even there. In the last three games, I'd say Spurs have created less than a handful of good chances.City wouldn't have wanted all that EPL physicality as well at this late stage in the season.
That really is an absolute disgrace.Bloody City.

I'm sorry, but its a bit infuriating they got the easiest draw and we keep getting the hardest draw possible, the FA Cup and now Champions League. And as someone pointed out above, just look at City's route this year in cup comps. It's just laughable. Saying that I do like that we're playing Barca, feel it's doable and it will be a great night at OTThe Cafe is fairly obsessed with Liverpool, I'm sure it's the same with their equivalent.
i dont think you have. I think with all the leaks and whistleblowers in the last few years and corruption all over the place, people would actually be aware that some things arent running as it seems from the outside. Football isnt an exclusion to that, in contrary, with all the money and parties involved. Some things will never come to light due to the sheer magnitude of football nowadays. But of course, everyone can believe in whatever they want. I also dont care at this point, we should beat everybody anyway.I think you have to be a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist to think they are rigged.
Phil JonesWe've got nothing to lose. Put Mctominay on Messi and we'll be fine
need to know myself. Ryanair already ramping prices up on both datesHave the exact dates and times been confirmed yet?
Roma.Don't see any chance against Barca. Unlike PSG, Barca dont bottle.
But hey ho. This is what CL is all about.
