Lyon or Athletic Madrid, and think it will be the latter.

One thing for sure is that no matter if we are in a slump or not, no fucker will want us in the draw.

Because of the criteria of not playing the other team from your group and any of the sides from your own association, the draw is very much dependent on who is drawn out of the bowl first.
The runners up get drawn first so if Chelsea or Spurs come out earlier on it reduces the sides we can play, I hope that doesn't happen.
Whoever we get it is not going to be easy but at least with all the teams being from the top European leagues there will be no long trips for our supporters.

Let’s hope we just play the team we are drawn against, not also against corrupt officials and VAR
Well given the current situation where it looks like we will have to concentrate on the cups this season a failure to get into the quarter finals would be very bad.
I dont fancy us against Real and Atletico. They have serious knockout stage experience of getting really far in it.
Lyon, Dortmund would be able to hurt us but we would be clear favourites before the tie of course we were vs Monaco 3 years ago too.
Napoli is a dark horse now, Gattuso coming in, there was bit of chaos there recently not sure if its solved with Ancelotti gone, as some payers want to leave maybe, allso they are shit in Seria A so far, they are not in top4 currently, they are the hardest to say how strong they are really, I mean only them were able to beat Liverpool this season.
Thing is no easy draws, we were quite lucky with Basel and Schalke last two seasons for the 1/16 round and they were one or two level below the current possible opponents.
Even Carabao, when we beat Oxford after that the semifinal will be like City, Leicester, United and Liverpool. Hell of a two game semi for us whoever we get there. We need to sort our defending otherwise we are in for a shock.

I'd take anyone other than Real Madrid. They're UEFA's blue-eyed boy and you know every decision would go their way.

I doubt they will get past Aston Villa with a youth team.
But there's always a helping hand should they need it. As for the CL, Atletico for me.I doubt they will get past Aston Villa with a youth team.
