Champions League Draw | QF - Bayern Munich | SF - Real Madrid

[Eccles Blue]

Eeehhh, I never realised how pessimistic some of our lovely fans can be!
Are we, or are we not, the Best team in the Land and all the World?
The Boys in Blue never give in so the Fans in Blue should never give in either. :-)

Was that Vicky Kloss sat with Tiki?

On the plus side the quarter finals aren’t in a midweek prior to or after our games v arsenal or liverpool. However I note we play on the Sunday before both legs, so in one of the weeks it’s going to be Prem Sunday, CL Tuesday?

No. Leicester has already been moved to a Saturday (not officially yet) but we're swapping with United's Saturday game as they can't play Thursday-Saturday.

Southampton will move to Saturday if we play Tuesday in the 1st leg.

Would have preferred the away leg first, but bring them on. They'll be, at the very least, as worried about us as we will be about them.

Doesn't matter if we did, UEFA have already set a precedent that loans can play against parent clubs in UEFA competitions.

Surely they can’t override the terms of a loan deal

Personally, I like the draw. If we win this then no one can say we had it easy. I also think it’s better to play them now then get to the final and have to do it.

Bring it on !

Like your upbeat attitude. On the downside if we make the final and play Napoli in Istanbul! Fucking stab happy cunts in a shady city!!

2 English clubs get the 2 hardest apponenents

Don't rate Madrid because their defence is shite.

You have to say, the prospect of a Champions League Final, in Istanbul, against Napoli isn't for the faint of heart.

That'll be a quiet night in at the library - not!

When is the first leg ?

April 11/12 at home.

Great draw for the Italians!
Let all the good teams knock each other out then have a one off game

My only concern now is how it affects our FA cup and league chances

Would concentrate on those as we won’t win chumps league
