CL Last 16 (Dinamo Kiev) (NO City away fans) (24 feb and 15 mar)

What time is the draw on Monday ?

Straight after they have warmed a couple of select balls up!

I don't know. I'd just like to avoid them as they are always in the latter stages and I have seen previous Porto teams play very good football.

Do you want Chelsea and Arsenal to go through? I'm not sure how it affects their League form. Could work both ways. Rest vs low morale

I'd have Chelsea go through and Arsenal pit. If arsenal go out I'd imagine it'd kill them. Morale wise and would put huge pressure on Wenger.

Valencia, Benfica or Porto would be nice in terms of an away trip.

PSG it is then. What's the chances of us getting Gent, eh?

Gent is already reserved for the chavs

PSG would be the worst draw. Still a better bet than Barcelona, Bayern or even Real. Don't underestimate PSV who have a strong homerecord. Gent are topping the Belgium league and even the likes of Benfica, Leverkusen, Roma (Dzeko), Kiev and Porto will be no walk-overs by any kind with us being clear favorites. Finally I'm not sure the 2nd leg at home is an advantage. We seem to be better away from home and let's be honest, we hardly created a fearfactor from the stands so far when we play CL-football at the Etihad.
It's too far ahead anyways, so I just look foreward to the draw, see what comes out, plan the trip and hope we have our best players available and matchfit.

On a different note, would a run to the semis get us in the top seeds for next season?

Top seeds are decided by league winners from the top 7 countries plus the Holders

 

[Silva2021]

PSV for me!!

Porto, get revenge for charging us so much for Fernando!
Gent or Kiev would be ok, anyone but PSG really.

Might be wrong but I don't think we can get Porto unless Tel Aviv get a result against Kiev. If Porto beat Chelsea they go top. If they don't they go third behind Kiev (assuming Kiev beat Tel Aviv). So it would be Kiev if we drew 2nd from that group.

Valencia for me purely for the look on Nevilles face when we knock them out. Oh and it'd be a decent away day
