Champions League Last 16

[Bring Back Pires]

I know it's quite early, and we haven't yet qualified, but the groups are starting to take shape and I thought it'd be worth seeing who we could be likely to face. Assuming we win the group, it looks as though we'll be up against one of the following:

- FC Copenhagen

- Valencia

- Spartak Moscow

- Roma

- Schalke 04 (or Benfica)

- AC Milan

(and possibly Werder Bremen or FC Twente if/when Spuds fuck it up).

The Italian sides are definitely ones to avoid. Valencia have been a CL bogey side for us in the past. Moscow is a relatively easy tie but another long journey.

So ideally, FC Copenhagen please.

I was hoping for them in the group stage, fingers crossed!

Benfica or Schalke for me. I want us to do well this year, and simply getting the easy ties wont keep us on our toes.

Spartak Moscow could be a pain in the arse, if we get them, a tuesday away game would be best.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 3 day drinking fest in one of the finest cities in the world!

Probably not Shalke then, they're really struggling in the league this season, although do have Raul...

Correct. And I think we now know who does the Gooner covers that keep tempting fate!!

Oh come on, surely I don't need to start a 'Will we qualify from the group stage' poll!

Unfortunately you have now planted the idea in the heads of a few of our more retarded members!

[cusamano]

I think the Spurs will finish second in their group, but we cannot face them in the group of 16.

[Connolly55]

I have always wanted to go to Valencia.

Valencia is a quality place to go.....

But the Mestalla has to be the highest i have been inside a football stdium, makes the away section in Camp Nou look like terra firma
