Champions League thread 2010/2011 (1 Viewer)

[Unicron]

Draw takes place at 5PM today I think although considering it's UEFA the bullshit will probably start around 5 and the actual draw at 6:30.

Anyway, here's who is in the respective pots:

1:

FC Internazionale Milano
FC Barcelona
Manchester United FC
Chelsea FC
Arsenal FC
FC Bayern München
AC Milan
Olympique Lyonnais

2:
SV Werder Bremen
Real Madrid CF
AS Roma
FC Shakhtar Donetsk
SL Benfica
Valencia CF
Olympique de Marseille
Panathinaikos FC

3:
Tottenham Hotspur FC
Rangers FC
AFC Ajax
FC Schalke 04
FC Basel 1893
SC Braga
FC København
FC Spartak Moskva

4:
HapoelTel-Aviv FC
FC Twente
AJ Auxerre
CFR 1907 Cluj
FK Partizan
MŠK Žilina (if you're wondering, they're from Slovakia)
Bursaspor

Bearing in mind that no 2 clubs from the same country can be in the same group I'm saying that ...

Group of death:

Chelsea
Real Madrid
Spartak Moscow
AJ Auxerre

Or possibly ...
Bayern
Real
Spurs
Auxerre

Group of life:
Olympique Lyonnais
Panathinaikos FC
FC København
MŠK Žilina

Whatever happens whoever in pot 1 gets Jose and Real Madrid will be really upset. God, please let it be Rafa.

[Unicron]

Nasty trip to Shaktar in store and Braga knocked out Sevilla. All in all though it'll do me. Nasty draw for Spurs.

Spurs are fucked. Basically. Even Twente will be a difficult match.

Real, Bayern, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Inter and Barca in the last eight again. Pity there's no Turks around to make shite of a big side at home.

 

[washingcattle]

Wait one.

Burarspor are Turkish and United have to go there.

Brilliant.

 

[Bladez]

I think Arsenal's group is really tough. Shanktar and Braga are both top sides. And Partisan are no pushovers either.

just out of interest, what's the turkish sides record, at home, against "big" teams. isn't the tough-place-to-play thing a bit of a myth?
apart from liverpool being beaten by besiktas, a team they beat 8-0 in the second leg, has there been a shock lately?

 

[Cormcolash]

Champions League is so fucking boring now.
Can they not just draw the fucking quarter-finals already? Just add Lyon to the previous list, that'll probably be the line-up anyway fuck sake.

Yeah your probably right but I absolutely love the crowd noise during the matches. It makes Landsdowne sound like a fucking library.

wonder what they'll do for the return leg in glasgow,would have thought that'd be the more 'interesting' of the two off the field.

 

[Cormcolash]

Man U fans are scumbags too, so I'd imagine there'll be a bit of ruckus somewhere

well,i never thought i'd say it but 'come on united'

 

[Cormcolash]

This game is like watching a TV debate between Hitler and Stalin

 

[тхеодоре кацзынски]

well that was extremely frustrating to watch.suppose the ger's will be happy with it,game plan worked out and they came away with the point.united never looked like they were gonna score,think gibson had the best chance's for them and most of them were 20 odd yards out.

 

[washingcattle]

first hour of Spurs Werder was class. Neither can defend Wesley and the right winger for Werder seemed decent players. Huddlestone is the fattest lad ever to run 100 yards.
