both english teams get drawn against the two best unseeded teams, clearly UEFA is trying to eliminate all english sides from the CL

lol of course. those poor epl clubs and epl fanboys. it's all about what it looks like from their perspective. what about serie a fans? two of their teams draw against two big names in world football (arsenal and chelsea), also have had a 4th cl spot taken away from them. yes uefa is out to get italian football too. some other conspiracies is with uefa and favouring barca and platini fixing the lyon and zagreb match. yes uefa is doing all these things. but i still can't figure out what they're trying to achieve by doing these things.

i was being sarcastc but hey whatever
as for that, the reason you lost your CL spot is because Serie A sides ignroed the europa league/UEFA cup (eg juve last season) while german sides took it much more seriously and they built up their coeffiecent that way, thats what you get

yeah i know. there's a system to how uefa do things. just like the coefficients and just like how they work out the draws. they're not conspiracies. im not a serie a fan btw. just saying the serie a fanboys could be thinking the same as epl fanboys. "uefa is out to get them".

The worst option we had :facepalm:

BAd draw fpr the English. Milan is only team to match Barca this season and Arsenal is weaker than before. Napoli has easier with Chelsea than ManC. Inter very, very lucky.

by Iceman Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:21 pm

Unlike Milan, Arsenal actually beat Barca last season. There have been a lot of changes, but the team right now is a lot more defensively secure than it was last season and we are getting better offensively with each passing game. If RVP is fit, then I rate our chances to be really high.

by McLewis Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:27 pm

Chelsea-Napoli is incredibly intriguing. Napoli have been poor domestically, but when it comes to Europe, I think they are more than a match for Chelsea.

Milan have a good chance to avenge their loss to Arsenal the last time they met in the CL. Don't think their backline will be able to handle RVP though. Thiago Silva will give it a good go, but there's not enough quality around him at the moment.

by RealGunner Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:45 pm

ffs

Why milan Why!!! Although, what a terrific match, potentially

If chelsea can hold on to a 0-0 draw away, they can win the tie.

Stoke vs Valencia LOL. Beauty and the beast ( beauty, stoke ofcoarse )

Man utd are through

Man city vs porto Very Happy

Hulk will score a hatrick and sign for City the next season

All 5 english teams really unlucky though

by halamadrid2 Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:49 pm

why are united through lol, this isnt basel we are talking about....oh wait

by RealGunner Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:52 pm

touche lol

by Zealous Fri Dec 16, 2011 2:53 pm

CSKA Moscow are a good attacking team but they weren't the toughest team we could have come up against.

If they play like they did against Lille in the group stage we'll win.

Arsenal v Milan is a great tie. Add that to all the potential upsets and we have a tasty round of 16 coming up banana

(Ajax to knock out United Razz

)

didnt the ref disallow a legit goal for barca though in that 2-1?+ we only lost because of a dive from xavi.

Anyways why are we discussing who gave barca a run for their money?lol

Even though Arsenal is better defensively now i think that you guys lost attacking power and i really dont see RVP performing very well considering that (IMO) we have the best CB duo in the world in Nesta-T. Silva.My main worry comes from Walcott.
