In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I bet you fecking would
There’s a 1.43% chance that the first two ties don’t have an English team involved.
So when is the draw then?
I hope we get Ajax.
Typically the team everybody will cheer for against us, that will play "fancy football" and that we'll still beat easily like in 2016
We do so well against these kind of hipster teams.

There is an article on BBC which says the chances of no English teams being drawn together is 22% possible.

Nice maths to be fair!
Knowing our luck we'd probably draw Barca or Juve
To be fair if the Juve group games were a knockout tie, we would have gone through on away goals. We’ve definitely got shithouse qualities in the CL this year. I think we’ve a better chance as the underdog. Getting Ajax wouldn’t be great for us IMO. I’m happy with anyone aside from Pool.
Wait, the article says that the draw for tomorrow will also determine the potential SF matchups? I thought last year there was a new draw after the QFs?
Avoid Pool and City and I'll take it
I didn’t see that and to be honest I’m not sure mate. Looking forward to seeing this tomorrow though.
Scrapped
Yep, the whole remaining brackets will be drawn up tomorrow.
At Wanda's place.
Is she hot?
Is this a serious question?
"There is a Friday in every week" argument
Madrid. Just applied in the tickets' lottery for the final. If we get Porto in the QF with the winner of Spurs/Ajax in the Semis and I miss out on the tickets
.Conversely if I've got the tickets and we get Juve in the QF with City/Barca in the SF.
Bet their 2 or 3 fans will dine out on that one
My guess:
Ajax vs. Spurs
Liverpool vs. Man United
Man City vs. Juventus
Barcelona vs. Porto
Ajax vs. Spurs
Liverpool vs. Man United
Man City vs. Juventus
Barcelona vs. Porto
Cheers, didn't know that. Will be interesting to see some paths to the final.
I desperately want Man City and Barca to fight for elimination. They are definitely the two strongest teams in the CL.
Edit: But the gut feeling says Barca will play Juventus for the good old Messi v Ronaldo

Glad they got rid of it to be honest. I remember in the past where your route to the final was mapped out already and it makes sense. There's only a week between the QF 2nd leg and the SF 1st leg ties anyway so there wouldn't be time to do a draw in the middle of that
Barca City would be fun.
Juve Liverpool. Hopefully they wouldn't shit themselves or not bother turning up like every other team in the CL against them.
Us v Porto for ease but Ajax would be more interesting.
Who cares about Spurs?

Who cares about Spurs?
City to get Porto @6.50 at my bookie, same odds for them playing Ajax. Feels like easy money, no?
yes I know it's random and these are not very good odds for something with probability of 1/7

Thanks mate
The "leaked" draw doing the rounds this time is:

Man City vs Porto
Juventus vs Liverpool
Spurs vs Ajax
Man Utd vs Barcelona
Obviously take it with a pinch of salt. I wonder how many more "leaked" versions we'll get
. But I do think it's City's title this year and I do think they'll get Porto.

From this year they will draw QF and SF at the same time so i want:
United-Porto/Spurs-Ajax
Juve-City/Liverpool-Barca
It will be :
United - Spurs
Barca- Juve
City-Ajax
Liverpool-Porto
United-Porto/Spurs-Ajax
Juve-City/Liverpool-Barca
It will be :
United - Spurs
Barca- Juve
City-Ajax
Liverpool-Porto
I'd actually take that. Hardest route for Liverpool and yes, we'd have a very difficult quarter, though I'd rather play Barca than Juve or City at this stage and you've got to beat at least one of these teams to make the final barring a miracle that we'd get on a side with Spurs, Porto and Ajax.The "leaked" draw doing the rounds this time is:

. I assume you get odds based on 1/7 to get each team now. A fair bookie would give 6.8 times your money since in random chance no skill should be able to beat the system unless it is rigged.Ridiculous how many of you claim to be confident of a certain outcome from a completely random exercise. It's so irrational my head hurts.
It's the same with people saying with a degree of certainty, ah they're definitely having a boy, about pregnant people. Feck off, you're just making a 50% gamble stop pretending you're some sort of fertility medium. Cnut.

According to UEFA, Man Utd will have to play away in the first leg of the QF if Mn City are drawn at home in the first leg. It doesn't matter if Utd are drawn to play at home first, it will be switched if City are drawn at home. UEFA have said that the team who finished lower in last seasons Premier League, i.e. United will have to move their fixtures around
You are so anti-betting.
I think the only thing which is ridiculous is to be place trust in UEFA to hold a random draw. We've already heard reports of bribes for the FIFA World Cup draws:

You'd be favourites for sure but I think it'd be quite a demanding 2 legs.
