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

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

PSV would be my number 1 choice simply to show the rags how it’s done.
Gent are probably the weakest team left in.
Benfica – not to bad in terms of quality of their league and location
Kiev – A long way and very cold + some good players.
Roma – too much recent history I’d prefer to avoid.
PSG – Easily the best team/players amongst the options. But an easy trip.

PSV, Gent or PSG would be easiest and cheapest for travel but I imagine tickets would be in limited supply for PSV and especially Gent, and we don't want PSG for obvious reasons.
Hope we get Benfica, as I stand a better chance of getting a ticket and the travel should be reasonable.

We have a habit of facing the same opposition (Barca/Bayern/CSKA) so I'm going Roma

Do we know which of the dates 16/17 FEB or 23/24 FEB City will play away yet? Appreciate its not been drawn but sometimes it's all mapped out in advance with these things...!!

I don't think we'll get PSG as UEFA, or should I say Platini, will want PSG to get as easier tie as possible, so they'll draw Gent

I think they'll fly us off to the Ukraine

What happens if Zenit and Kiev get through to the final, will it be called off?

No, that is decided after the draw is made (usually an hour or two after)

As the final is in Milan it may not be a problem. I think they're kept apart currently to avoid having to travel into "enemy" territory.

Thanks for the reply. Think I was getting mixed up with world cups where you know where you'll play and on what date if you win the group...!

Uefa's so corrupt, nothing should surprise us ;-)
