Good Greebling,
As the time of writing we are merely a hop, skip and guaranteed beyond tedious address from UEFA away from knowing who we’ll face in the quarter finals of the competition.
For those just visiting this planet – the names in the hat other than us are, Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Shakattack Don’tAsk, and FC Shalke 04.
The ties pulled today will be played on 5/6 and 12/13 April. With the semi-finals taking place on 26/27 April and 3/4 May. The 2010/11 UEFA Champions League Final will be held on Saturday 28 May at Wembley Stadium KO 20.45hrs.
Nobody is making up the numbers here. Jose is looking to achieve something extraordinary and win the competition with three different clubs. Quite simply, ‘wow’ Don’tAsk are a different side to the one we met in what was the UEFA and what I’ve seen of them would really inspire me if I was a supporter.
Inter came back from behind to beat FC Bayern Munich to get here and that to me is them having already played one quarter final. FC Shalke did the same to Valencia and underlined the fact that they have won all of their home games so far in the tourney.
I don’t fancy Real. I think there are better equipped sides in this to dismantle them and it would also require us to wear that dreadful, jinxed, bad news in blue away kit.
Should we exit mid April, it would be duller than house dust if it were at the hands of a Premiership side.
Bring on Barca. The outcome of that tie would genuinely define our Champions League run and whatever the outcome, we’d be spared a Steward’s enquiry. This is all about scalps and positioning ourselves for the next steps onwards. We’re building here. So let’s be bold and in the solemn words of Alan Latchley, ‘Dare to fail’.
spot on H, no to an english team and no to Inter, it would be equally as dull to play them as it would chelsea or man utd. 3 trips to the san siro in one year is a bit much.
Anybody else is fine by me, sod it bring on barca and lets go out to the best club team ever assembled. It would almost be an honour.
Bring it on. Away tie first. The bigger the better. With the a full squad fit lets see what we can do. Wembley, COYS.
Spurs v Schalke
Man Utd v Chelsea
Barca v Madrid
Inter v Shakhtar
My ideal line-up. I am expecting 2 English teams to be drawn together, just hope we’re not one of the. Anyone else but Chelsea or United and I’ll be content.
His name is Gareth Bale.
Barcelona will annihilate us over two legs. Schalke or Shatonyourdesk please.
Who gives a fuck we have to beat the best, so at this stage 90 mins we can do it easy like a walk in the park, have confidence. As we have all read the SPURS players saying that they can DO any of them, so don’t give a shit who we draw we will win and don’t forget there is a 1 in the year.
