Champions League - QF: Real Madrid, SF: Arsenal/Bayern, (H) for 2nd legs

[SWP's back]

We are so unlucky with this draw. We are in our worst form in a decade and RM are in their best form since Zidane was their coach.

What’s your favourite flavour of crayon?

Football fans are nutters. I see on the Spurs forum (The Fighting Cock) some posters are up in arms because they think Arsenal have been given as easy draw in Bayern who have Eric Dier at the back.

Then on Marca there are some Barcelona fans saying Madrid have an easier draw than they do because they think City will be knackered from playing in domestic cups and fighting for the PL.

So Arsenal have an easy/difficult draw (delete as appropriate). And City is an easy/difficult opponent for Madrid (delete as appropriate).

PSG; more likely to win the competition than Real, Bayern or Arsenal? What a load of shite. They'll never win it; they don't have the mentality to do so.

They don’t have to beat City to get to the final. The other three do.

Just noticed that Courtois and Militao are expected to be back for Madrid for the matches against City.

It's because they are on other side of the bracket to all 4

Courtois being back sounds a bit ambitious. Back in April from an ACL tear just before the start of the season feels way too soon. I think that one might be Ancelotti mind games.

No Munich fans allowed at Emirates. Decent advantage that for Arse.

Allowed to fill the away end with home fans as well I think.

Also what is the reason for drawing the semi finals at the same time as the quarters? I don't see the point.

Mine differ, City drop from 33.07% to 31.63% which is similar, but after that some have a big variance looking at current chances:

City	31.63%​
Arsenal	15.15%​
RM	12.99%​
BM	11.37%​
PSG	10.10%​
Bar	8.27%​
Atl	6.99%​
BD	3.50%​

Yours is in line with what the Bookies see who have City as favourites and Arsenal 2nd favourites.

Can't decide whether this is a wind up or not.
If it is you've got the reaction you may have been looking for.
If not, give your head a wobble.
Ps. I'm guessing you were one of the few not at York.
