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

I wouldn’t mind anyone in the quarters on a level playing field.

However, as it’s not going to be a level playing field, I’d prefer Porto or Spurs.

Amazing, I actually guessed right.

Loads of nice little potential narratives and stories.

City vs Liverpool or United in the final is blockbuster.

My fave is the possibility of City playing Ajax in the semis followed by Barca in the finals, in a type of Cruyff Legacy Gauntlet writes itself.

Do have a feeling it could be a Barcelona vs Juventus in a final Ronaldo vs Messi showdown, though.

A lot of nice story lines. Think uefa wants Juve v Barca, Ronaldo v Messi.

Can’t really complain about our draw though. Barcelona, Liverpool and rags all which I wanted to avoid are on the same side.

Spurs won’t be easy but we should go through. Bonus is possibly playing Juve in a semi final which will be a hard test.

Liverpool might even be arrogant enough to rest players against Porto. If they get through which is likely they have the harder semi final so it benefits us in the league especially considering we have the much better squad.
 
PEP (Reaction to #UCL draw) We (Tottenham) know each other quite well. We play each other many times. I have a lot of respect for them. I know quite well the quality of this team.

“A lot of respect [For Spurs]. They are a top side. 50/50.”
 
So long as we avoid liverpool in the CL. Game raising divers who would get cynical calls for them and trying to get our players on a red.

I’d rather we play against teams willing to play football, even the new rags.
 
For those of us that grew up with City well before our modern, glorious era (and, unfortunately, after our earlier glorious era), could you ever imagine in those days reactions like these from another club’s supporters when a draw with us was announced (and the reactions not being ironic)?

Happy days.

 
was not that bothered who we played, and don't really care about uefa and their piss pot cup it can do one for me, just give me any one from english premier league and the cups
and i am happy, europe and its uefa members are bent and competitions are fixed

If I'm being honest, I really don't like the Spurs matchup. The idea of playing them 2ice in 4 days annoy me. It just changes how teams react to each other.

Anyway, hopefully we win the first leg. Coz I think that's the key game.

This. I always think the chances of one premier league team beating another 3 times in quick succession are slim.
 
Not sure if it has been mentioned but it feels like an advantage that we do not have to travel out of the country for our away tie.

The season in turning very interesting for the top six English clubs - the wife is going to moan more than usual if I watch all the games!
