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

[neilhb]

We play Arsenal, Villa, Palace away, Real, Luton, Real in less than 18 days. And if we beat Newcastle, we play after the 2nd leg vs Real at Wembley vs Chelsea, Wolves or United/Liverpool.

April will be brutal and exciting :)

The first 10 days after the international break will be particularly challenging as we play 4 games in 10 days, two of them vs Arsenal and Real. Guess Pep will rotate heavily vs Palace and bring in the big guns in the last 20-30 minutes.

Coventry and Leicester fans say Hi!

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.

Worst form in a decade shut up

They say exactly the same stuff about the Allianz arena, Camp Nou and Anfield. And if they’re smart they’ll start saying it about the Etihad given we’ve not lost a European game there for 5 years.


In fact we’ve only lost 1 two legged tie in the last 5 years of Champions League football.

that would definitely be corrupt!!

Easy solution, since Madrid have plastics all around Spain they can move the game to Bilbao, Sevilla, Valencia etc…. Nah I know I am dreaming.

If you’re of the opinion that you’re going to have to beat them to win it, then the preferred option by far is getting them in a two legged match, with the second one at home.

Ours may be switched. Atletico at home as well and they came out first.

Bollocks. I'd fancy City over any team in the world when it really matters.

Tough draw no doubt but fuck me, Quarter final of Champions League v Real Madrid, tie of the round quarter final of the FA Cup v Newcastle and still fighting away for the title!!!! Pinch me when I wake.

This is our seventh successive season in the last eight of the Champions League.

Not bad for a little club that was in the third tier only a quarter of a century ago.

"quarter of a century"? What on earth are you talking about; we were only founded 15 years ago.
