2012/13 UEFA Champions League: The Road to Wembley VII

[Back Door Skip]

Hahahahahah, ManU getting raped.

 

[fender]

Hopefully it will be as entertaining a tie as when they met in 2003

Celtic!!! Thanks Platini, true juventino this guy.

My reaction upon openining this thread 30 seconds ago

Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich

*chuckles* (screaming) YES!!!!!!!!

Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(loud enough for anyone in the house to hear) YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's the chance of Dortmund having a non-CL experienced break-down?

I really wished Shakhtar drew one of the lesser 4 teams.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I mean, they are 12 points off the top in the Bundesliga.

They're really good though and they SHOULD beat Shakhtar. I see those two teams as very very similar, but Dortmund has the advantage at Keeper by a lot, defense, and striker.

 

[Zlatan]

United vs. Real, it couldn't become worse ...

but at least it would be very entertaining

Don't complain. We've drawn Real three years in a row. In the group stage mind you.

I think it should be a really good game, hopefully Shakhtar can lift and make a game out of it, I don't think any result is a given at this stage

 

[Bobby]

Worst possible draw, I wanted to avoid the German teams, especially them. Wanted Barca.

 

[MaestroZidane]

Great draw for us, Ronaldo will return to Old Trafford, as will Mourinho.

 

[4ndr3i]

Shakhtar will beat Dortmund IMO.

 

[poet11]

My dream of a fully fit and in form Bayern and Barcelona playing each other have little chance of coming true. When ShiftyPowers feels lucky and proud my dreams always turn to a nightmare-like last season CL for example.

Sorry Bayern and sorry ShiftyPowers but the mighty Arsenal have to do this. You have let the football loving people down too many times now. We will try to show mercy but I cannot promise as promises are meant to be broken.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Arsenal have no chance in hell. Probably THE biggest foregone conclusion of the draw, even more than Barcelona vs Milan.

I reckon the only British team in the quarters is gonna be Celtic.

 

[Xifio]

Moudrid v Man Yoo?!! love it!!

happy for Calcio Central; only Celtic would have been better than drawing this (current) Valencia ...

sad for Milan ... can't imagine the euphoria Milanisti would feel if they (El Shaarawy + 1 random) pulled off the impossible ...

there should be at least 2 Italian teams in the quarters ...

 

[Sir Calumn]

Celtic will surprise you. They may not win but they will put up a hell of a fight.

This is my ranking of desirability of opponent from least desirable to most desirable:

Bayern
Barcelona
Real Madrid
Manchester United
Dortmund
PSG
Shakhtar
Schalke
Juventus
Malaga
Porto
Arsenal
AC Milan
Celtic
Valencia
Galatasary

I put Bayern top because Barcelona actually seem more beatable this season and Chelsea showed everyone how to do it (mind you we also showed everyone how to beat Bayern)

 

[Deisler]

Shakhtar will beat Dortmund IMO.

I don't even know what does BVB need to do anymore to get the respect they deserve. Easy, well sorta, draw for Schalke.

Although i think Arse is not the easiest of the draws, we could have very well been in United's shoes so i ain't complaining. It kind of bugs me that they are the most German team in England with Mertesacker, Podolski, Gnabry & Eisffeldt. Wouldn't be surprised if they get that extra motivation needed by the fact they are playing us.

Mehh the fvck with that, we will Arse rape them like no team ever has. Not worried at all not one bit.

 

[Sir Calumn]

BvB had a very strong group stage campaign - taking four points from defending Spanish champions Real, four from defending English champions Man City and six from defending Dutch champions Ajax. They cemented themselves as a CL force with those results.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

there should be at least 2 Italian teams in the quarters ...

3 German teams hifty:

 

[Xifio]

hah, enjoy! calcio enjoyed that hifty: feeling this time last season ... and unlike this season, no one had as many or more ...

also, PSG totally counts as an Italian team ...

 

[4ndr3i]

Dude, I respect Dortmund and I like them A LOT. But I think this Shakhtar team has what it takes to take them out. They're amazing, they have like 17 wins, 0 draws and just 1 loss in the Ukrainian league. And it's not just that but it's how they play, when on form they can fuck up any team, and that's including Barcelona or Real.
