CL QF Draw - City V Spurs ===== SF V Ajax (If we get there)

[Craig]

Whod have thought UEFA would manipulate towards a Messi v Ronaldo final in Madrid...

FFS is there any length the conspiracy theories wontw stretch to?! We've got another decent draw so we can't go down that road yet again.

 

[Beanhead]

I had the teams ranked:
Porto
Ajax
Spurs
Juventus (they're better than United but didn't want the derby)
United
Liverpool
Barcelona

I think we've avoided the 3 teams we didn't want until the final, I'll take that.

Exactly the same here.. made up with the draw. Also Spurs coming to ours twice inside a week could destroy their confidence if we are on point.

 

[Gordyola]

Just so I am clear:-
We have avoided Rags, Dippers and Barca until the final.
We play the poorest English side in the quarters (an English side suits us IMO)
We will be the home 2nd in the quarters and semis
We will be the home team in the Final.
But the draw is fixed against us-all good?

Only reversed if the rags win the quarters

 

[Ifwecouldjust.......]

Tight, I'd say, but doable.

The local trains will be clogged.
Walk/jog to the tube station = 20-25 mins.
Tube to Euston = 15 mins.

The new stadium is only a few streets away from White hart lane station

 

[JGL07]

Difficult as there’s no tube or train near WHL and it’s an 8pm kick off
Wembley is another matter

White Hart Lane Station is on the London Overground.

It's all about the ratings brother.
:)

As an aside ard we playing at Wemberly or have Spurs been allowed to flout the rules again?

Manipulate? Please show me any combination of draw that someone somewhere wouldn’t claim was rigged for one reason or another. Show me it.

 

[Ancient Citizen]

We could win it wearing mankinis and I wouldn’t give a fuck.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Didn't want an English team but if we did Spurs were the ones to get

Anything can happen over two legs

Not over confident but happy.

 

[solley attwell]

If we get through to the semi. Are we home or away second leg?

 

[cleavers]

Only reversed if the rags win the quarters

If they get through its their game reversed not ours, so if we get through we're at home first regardless.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

After that draw we will be in the FFP newspapaers again. I am finding it isnt only just when City win we get the FFP headlines!

Give it a rest

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

If we get through to the semi. Are we home or away second leg?

Away

 

[gingerprince]

As others have said, would have preferred semi final @ home 2nd leg.

We can beat anyone of the teams left either on the day or over x2 legs

so nothing to fear, just hope we don't get other key injuries in meantime

 

[Manchester33]

I'll take that draw. Don't get me wrong, spurs wont be as easy as some people on here are making out. They could definitely cause an upset at the new stadium etc. Let's hope they don't regain form before then!

Nice to be on the opposite side of the draw to Barca (who're the second best team after us IMO) and the victims and the rags, don't think I could handle a semi v either of them. I just pray neither get to the final!

Looks realistically like City v Juve and Liverpool v Barca in the semis, however you can't tell in this competition!

 

[lasereyes]

It's not a foregone conclusion that Juve beat Ajax any more than that we beat Spurs. Ajax upset Real and can do the same here too.

 

[UUJblue]

Great draw all the way to the final.

No better chance to win it!

 

[cleavers]

Away

Wrong its home, we were drawn home first, so in the event united get through their fixture will be reversed not ours.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

If we get through to the semi. Are we home or away second leg?

Away, unless the rags beat Barcelona.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Wrong its home, we were drawn home first, so in the event united get through their fixture will be reversed not ours.

So we play away second leg then in semi
