[Irrational.]

Who's the most dangerous team? Inter?

 

[PoTMS]

I want Sevilla. Let's finally feck these pricks.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

I want Rangers

Anyone but Wolves... No one needs to see that (again)

 

[Member 90887]

It's weird that there's no French team in there this year.

I'd take the strongest right now, I'd say Inter or Arsenal. No point advancing then losing against one of the strongest teams. Just play them as soon as possible. Knocking them out augments our chances of winning it. Losing to them would let us focus on the league.

 

[Giant Midget]

Rangers. That’d be a cracking tie, and revenge for making us miss the CL celebrations in 2008

 

[No Love]

How is that Austrian outfit, LASK? Surely they’d be the ones everyone is looking for, no?

Have a feeling we’ll get Arsenal, oddly.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Who's the most dangerous team? Inter?

Can you imagine 2 more legs against Wolves.

 

[dwd]

Good tournament this year. Better than the champions league?

Sad face

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Avoid Inter, Wolves and Getafe.

 

[AshRK]

Anyone but Wolves. Tired of those feckers.

 

[Irrational.]

Can you imagine 2 more legs against Wolves.

Good point. Excruciating.

Even a tie against Stevie Me's Rangers would be pretty annoying.

 

[Shane88]

I'll shit myself with rage if we get Wolves.

 

[drdoityourself]

LASK please. If we draw Wolves I'm giving up football.

 

[Redplane]

Have Getafe or Wolves play Inter and knock each other out please. I tend to think Wolves would give them a better game but don't know about Getafe.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Good point. Excruciating.

Even a tie against Stevie Me's Rangers would be pretty annoying.

I mean you're definitely right, Inter on paper are the toughest team but playing Wolves 2 more times is soul destroying stuff.

 

[duffer]

Man United v Inter please!

 

[SirAnderson]

Watch us draw Inter.

 

[MsNuno]

Don't want Utd or rangers. Wolfsburg would be good

 

[dwd]

Wolves please.

 

[Paxi]

Some decent teams left in this competition. Roma, Inter, Leverkusen being obvious stand outs.

 

[Anduin]

How is that Austrian outfit, LASK? Surely they’d be the ones everyone is looking for, no?

They are really, really good (well, for Austrian standards obviously). It’s probably their second best team ever, since they’ve only won one championship over here in the 60s. Obviously they do not have any “stars”, but they have a very clear structure and plan, maybe like a budget version of Liverpool.... well, more like a tiny budget version, as they are operating on a roughly 10 million euros budget.

They are extremely well organized, efficient, with a clear plan on what every single player needs to do on the pitch in order to get the job done. I reckon we would beat them over two legs, but not if we change the team around like we did against Brugge. Don’t let their results at the start of the season against Brugge fool you, they are a much better outfit now.

They dismantled Alkmaar, the second best team in the Netherlands, with relative ease.

 

[Al-T]

Don't mind as long as it's not feckin Wolves.

Another two games against them will be like a protracted dental extraction.

 

[Rasendori]

I want Inter or Leverkusen
Roma vs Sevilla would be interesting
If Arsenal qualify, would like to see them draw Eintracht Frankfurt

 

[Bwuk]

Rangers please.

 

[Buchan]

There’s literally no team left in this competition that if we subsequently lose to, it’ll not be deemed an embarrassment (and I’m not saying that to be big-headed). United are a huge step up from every one of them in terms of prestige and worldwide fame. We simply have to go on and win this now. It’s a very decent opportunity we have although there’s quite a few tough opponents remaining (Leverkusen, Getafe, Inter, Wolves, Frankfurt and Salzburg).

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Come to Copenhagen.

 

[charlenefan]

Some tough teams there, going to be a lot harder to win than it was in 2017

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Suddenly the list looks more dangerous. That Round of 32 really did cut out some shite.

 

[stubie]

Hopefully kind ties for both us and Wolves

I want a United-Wolves Final

 

[Samid]

Come to Copenhagen.

Ole vs Ståle, the media here will wank themselves silly if that happens.

 

[Kazi]

Is whoever is drawn first playing the home game first?

 

[PoTMS]

The ones in bold are the only ones I'd be extremely confident about.

Basel (SUI)
Copenhagen (DEN)
Getafe (ESP)
Internazionale Milano (ITA)
İstanbul Başakşehir (TUR)
LASK (AUT)
Leverkusen (GER)
Rangers (SCO)
Roma (ITA)
Sevilla (ESP)
Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)
Wolfsburg (GER)
Wolves (ENG)
Arsenal (ENG)
Eintracht Frankfurt (GER) / Salzburg (AUT)

Funnily enough, I saw the Alkmaar result just after my previous post. Thanks for sharing your insight, I found that an interesting read.

 

[Judas]

Anyone but fecking Wolves, I don't want to see that boring match again for as long as I live, let alone twice more this season.

 

[w1thout]

I want an easy draw, as both ties will be sandwiched between City, Spurs and Sheffield.

 

[No Love]

Looks like I jinxed them and put an end to that idea

 

[jderbyshire]

Bring on Rangers. We need to milk that chant as much as we can before the Dippers' title win is official.

 

[diarm]

This is a good way of looking at it. Aside from Arsenal (lol) of course.

 

[Paxi]

There isn't going to be an easy draw except for that Austrian team.
