Milan away

To be honest I'd rather get anyone but the Mancs. Its not that I'm afraid of them or anything, but the rest of the teams left in the draw are there for the taking imo, except maybe Yernited and Roma.
Chelski are far from the team Moaninho managed, and only got so far in EVERY competition this season because they got what seemed like ridiculously easy draws, seriously, Accrington Stanley would have put up a better fight than Olympiakos, and don't get me started on their FA cup draws.

I'd actually like to play Barca in the final (assuming we get there), and get revenge for a game we were dominating until mad Jens had ones of his unfortunate brain cramps.

No I could live with playing the the germans. Just the last time I went to Germany we lost 3.1 to B Munich in the snow and we were crap. Just dont want 1 of the english clubs and don't realy want Roma cos been there done that.

Really want a trip to Schalke, last time we lost, but it didn`t matter as we still got through, would like to spend a day in Gelsenkirchen as I missed that last time. Beer allways good and not too expensive in Germany, so definately my favorite ball in the draw.

I'd take Schalke or Fenerbache, wouldnt mind barca to be honest, return of Thierry an all that also i think we'd do them.

don't want Roma because finding out what the wrong end of a trungeon feels like isn't fun.

Don't fancy Istanbul at all thanks. Think I would rather go to Manchester that Istanbul. Can't see that being much fun.

theres plenty of near airports to schalke (ive been researching in case we get them) i.e. dortmund, cologne isn't too far. my preferred way of traveling is fly to the dam then train from the dam to gelsenkirchn.

Besiktas this season is my best euro away ive ever been on it was superb apart from the result, dunno whether that would be the same for you lot if you have to go to Istanbul considering what happened with the Gala fans in the Uefa cup final.

WELL DONE MATEY. WE ARE CERTAINLY IN FOR A HELL OF A WEEK. AS I'VE ALREADY STATED ELSEWHERE, LIVERPOOL ARE THE ONLY ENGLISH CLUB I COULD STOMACH LOSING TO SO IF YOU DO BEAT US, I'LL BE CHEERING YOU GUYS ON. 8)

P.S. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN HAVE A WORD WITH RAFA AND ASK HIM TO REST A FEW OF THE PLAYERS FOR THE LEAGUE GAME? 8) :lol: :wink:

I HAD TO SHOW MY PASSPORT ON THE WAY IN.

ALLOW PLENTY OF TIME TO GET TO THE GROUND.

THE ROADS WERE CONGESTED, AND THERE WERE TWO CHECKPOINTS AS WELL AS THE TURNSTILE.
