Champions League Draw, 16th December *UPDATED*

Re: Champions League Draw, Mon, 16th Dec.

We get Real and beat them and the Daily ToryGraph call it a farce. We get Barcelona and we beat them and the Daily Torygraph call it a farce. We get PSG and lose and the Daily ToryGraph calls it the most abject abdication in the history of the CL and Pellers should be hanged from the bar at The Dave Ewing End (South Stand)! Or we beat any team yer like 3-2 on aggregate and the entire RagMeedya are calling for the Good Sheikh to sever all links with Manchester 'cos it should have been 4-2 on aggregate.

If Napoli were to beat Arsenal could we get them?

By three clear goals that is....Unlikely to be fair.

I don't know why many seem to be worried by Atletico, plenty of time for the wheels to fall off. Whilst they are suited to European football they are in a group where all the teams are struggling to decide whether they want to qualify or not. They are a good side, but I wouldn't be worried. If we can win in Munich we can win anywhere. PSG, Atletico, no problem, Real Madrid are for me the team I would be most worried about. I think Barca's possession based football is something we can cope with, Real will drive at our defence directly and quickly but even then I see weaknesses we can exploit.

Their style matches up to ours very well, i'm not worried about the fact that they're a good team, but the way they play i think would cause us a lot of problems.

Because they're like Southampton on steriods, and we seem to really enjoy struggling against them.

Very. Although, according to some on here, finishing second in our group didn't matter. That's fine then.
