I'd like

Bayern - Madrid

Chelsea - Barcelona

Milan - Apoel

Benfica - Marsella

 

[Sir Calumn]

Why, you want to go out next round?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'd like

Bayern - Madrid

No thanks. I want

Bayern - APOEL
Marseille - Benfica

Chelsea - Milan
Barca - Madrid

If Breitner is doing the draw again, I like our chances!

 

[Arnau]

I also want Obvrebo

Usually the winner of the tough semifinal win the title

 

[ShiftyPowers]

That's just a cliche. Usually the best team wins the title, and the best team will be in a better semifinal.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I quite fancy that actually, I wanna take out Milan just to show Arsenal how it's done. Real would obviously beat Barca, and we will easy beat Real because we know how Mourinho plays, so basically we would be guaranteed a place in the final against an underprepared Bayern team. TREBLE ON.

 

[Arnau]

Barça madrid in 1/4 would be nice too but i have always dreamed in a CL final against them

 

[ShiftyPowers]

LOL, underprepared? You know we were in the final 2 years ago, right? And the team is like exactly the same.

 

[Sir Calumn]

LOL, underprepared? You know we were in the final 2 years ago, right? And the team is like exactly the same.

What I meant was if your road to the final is Basel, APOEL, Benfica - and ours is Napoli, Milan, Real - you count as underprepared!

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'll gladly take the better team, the better coach, and home field advantage, but whatever gives you confidence.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Your best player is Arjen Robben, who we threw away like a used tampon because he wasn't good enough

Wouldn't make our reserves these days.

 

[Sir Calumn]

I'm gonna regret all this cockiness very very soon

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Arjen Robben would be the best player on your team. So would Ribery. So would Schweinsteiger. You can make a case that Gomez and Kroos would be too. Lahm as well. In fact, if you combined the teams the only Chelsea players to make the First XI would be Terry and Luiz or Cole depending on where you play Boateng; Mata might not even beat out Muller.

Robben got poached by Madrid within 30 days of Mourinho leaving.

But you know all that, you're just being a douche.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Bayern would kill for a player of Sturridge's class

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Sturridge isn't even as good as Shaquiri.

 

[Juventino]

Yesterday it looked like Shaqiri was bought for Bayern II. Really disappointing performance. Then again, I missed out on Basel's good matches.

 

[Arnau]

Not his fault whole team sucked. I liked xhaka though.

 

[Sir Calumn]

Sturridge isn't even as good as Shaquiri.

I heard Bayern are gonna offer Gomez + 20m for Romeu. I think we should hold out for Gomez plus 30m.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, it wasn't a great showing, but it was the entire team. That 4-4-2 wasn't doing them any favors against our pressing and 3 man midfield.
