My only concern with Chelsea is that although we're much much better than them, they're not completely shite and a run of WWWWWWWW or whatever it is against them won't go on like that forever.
I'd like to avoid them, our record is terrible against them English sides in this comp
 
IF we get through and all teams currently winning all go through I'd quite like the last 8 to be Chelsea vs Napoli, Bayern vs Benfica on one side then us vs Madrid and Milan Derby on the other side. Fancy a difficult game in the quarters but I do think we're more than capable of beating Madrid and would like to make up for last year. For me I'd like to avoid Chelsea, Napoli and Bayern at all costs
Agree with this. Madrid’s Champions League magic spell becomes more potent as the tournament goes on, get them in the quarters and we’ve got a much better chance of beating them than in later rounds.
 
Beat Leipzig first of all but Hoping we're away second leg next time. Flights to all the teams left look really expensive just after Easter weekend

Wait until you see hotel prices in some locations (Milan/Munich), they’re crazy

I’ve booked hotels for both CL Tue/Wed in all locations, and can cancel as teams get knocked out and once we know the draw (yes, I’m a bit OCD)

Deary me just seen . IF we do get through wouldn't grumble at Chelsea
 
You sound organised to me.
Don't know if this helps anyone, but just in case, here's what I've got. Choices will not be for everyone, as I lean towards Hilton/IHG (I get free perks from them), considering location compared with stadium (public transport options) and obviously price/comfort (I don't do anything worse than a Premier Inn). Based on who is still in the competition, I have cancellable reservations at;

Munich; 11/12 Premier Inn Munich City Schwabing (or Hilton Munich Park), 18/19 Premier Inn Muncih Airport Sud
Madrid; 11/12 & 18/19 Indigo Madrid Princesa
Naples; 11/12 & 18/19 Holiday Inn Naples
Milan; 11/12 Doubletree by Hilton, 18/19 Doubletree by Hilton Milan Malpensa
Porto; 11/12 Se Catedral Hotel Porto, Tapestry by Hilton, 18/19 Arts Hotel Porto, Tapestry by Hilton (or Porto Palacio)
Lisbon; 11/12 & 18/19 Hotel Acores Lisboa

London; 11/12 & 18/19 Doubletree Chelsea. London still has plenty of reasonable priced options if willing to use tube/bus to get to Stamford Bridge

Already cancelled; Frankfurt, Paris, Dortmund & Brugge :D

If you're OK making cancellable reservations, I would suggest you do so for Munich & Milan, as one, or both, potential dates have some crazy pricing for accommodation, that will only get worse once the draw is made.
 
Let's try and get past Leipzig first.

Assuming we do, every draw is going to be relatively tough in the Champions League QFs... I'd probably pick Inter or AC just because they're big teams that we haven't played recently - could make for a special atmosphere at the Etihad.

Whoa there fella. That's a bit radical, innit?
