Champions League Draw

[DaGaffer]

Chelsea v. Juve
Real v. Liverpool
Arsenal v. Roma
Inter v. United

No easy draws this time round. Can't see there being all-English semis this year. Having said that, Inter aren't playing that well, and neither are Real, but I think with Chelsea's shit Euro form Juventus can definitely turn them over. Arsenal could annihilate Roma the way United did two years ago, or get beat 3-0, its impossible to tell with them these days. Interesting draw all round I think.

Think Liverpool have got the easiest tie tbh, Madrid are floundering. I suppose it could depend on who they sign in January, Huntelaar will be there by then, but they really need defenders that can defend.

Fucking lol!

I'd take any of the others over Real any day of the week...

I wouldn't. Juve looks like a much trickier proposition, and I bet Arsenal and Chelsea are pleased they didn't get Barca.

We've already beaten Juve recently but we haven't met Real since 1981

I agree that Arsenal and Chelski are probably well pleased they didn't get Barca tho. They haven't got the pedigree to go to the Nou Camp and win, like the Scousers did

Assuming the English sides are not missing key players then the only one I wouldnt bet on is Arsenal.

If Torres is back and Gerrard uninjured Liverpool will trounce Real Madrid.

Chelski will no doubt be back on winning ways by Feb with Drogba back to something of his old potency.

I cant see much stopping Man Utd and Inter are certainly not strong enough to challenge em.

Poor old Arsenal tho - I dont have great hopes for them splashing the cash in Jan so are unlikely to be radically different from now - they may still go through but I doubt it currently.

Dunno, Roma are just as hot/cold as Arsenal at the moment. It depends which Arsenal and Roma team turn up that night, we could be in for a treat with those two fixtures. The other games are going to be boring tactical encouters, bar Barca v lyon which should be a trouncing by Barca.
