CL last 16 draw - Monaco

Get yourself prepared for Atletico, should be a 1 in 5 chance but the statistics say different (load of bollocks, I get why under the current system but it's still a load of bollocks). To be completely critical it should just be an open draw, anyone finishing 1st can play anyone finishing 2nd, teams from the same country should be able to play each other at this point.

Nothing really THAT complicated. Group winners play runners up, no teams from the same country can be paired, and no teams from the same group (thank fuck, no Barca!).
 
I enjoy my European jaunts so I'd be pretty pissed off if we ever got a English team in the latter stages, even if they are on paper an easier option.

I was pretty angry when we got Celtic but it felt like a European trip as no one could speak English :)

There's other considerations as well - If Arsenal get put into the 1st half of the draw, we have to go in the other half because of TV reasons (so we'd play on different days)
