My initial reaction was 'Shit this is a really bad draw and how the fuck did man u get roma and chavs get feners?!'

But Im coming round to the prospect of playin pool 3 times in 2 weeks.

We should resign Julio Bapbeasta tho!! :lol:

good draw, we are on course to take out Barca in the final.

my only concern was united over two legs, now we've got liverpool and the chavs i've got no fear.

with Toure and RVP back, its all turning out nice :wink:

sweet.

I wish i was as confident as you guys.. This is going to really hard. With the second leg at anfield aswell. We will do amazingly well to get through this one.

Nervous times ahead. :(

I dont see the 2nd leg at Anfield as a problem as long as we get a decent result at the Grove. We played Milan at home 1st, didn't conceed and were in good shape for the 2nd leg.

My mate who is a scouser reckons we were the last team they wanted to draw - its going to be tough but we can do it and they may not fancy it. If torres didnt play they would really struggle.

If all these scousers didn't fancy getting us then we should be full of confidence. They watch their team week in week out and see something about us they dont like. Lets 'ave it Arsenal

I Hate Hleb wrote:IT WAS INEVITABLE THAT WE WOULD GET AN ENGLISH SIDE AND GIVEN THAT, I AM HAPPY TO HAVE DRAWN LIVERPOOL. 8)

NOT BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT WILL BE AN EASIER TIE. IN FACT, IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF LIVERPOOL WERE FAVOURITES DUE TO THEIR EUROPEAN PEDIGREE AND THE FACT THE 2ND LEG IS AT HOME.

NO, THE REASON I AM HAPPY IS BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONE ENGLISH CLUB LEFT IN IT THAT I COULD ACTUALLY STOMACH LOSING AGAINST - NOT THAT I'D WANT TO LOSE, OBVIOUSLY.

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A MASSIVE RESPECT FOR LIVERPOOL AND THE WAY THE CLUB CONDUCTS ITSELF, SO IF WE WERE TO GET BEATEN BY THEM, I WOULD BE CHEERING THE SCOUSERS ON AGAINST CHELSEA (WHO WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BEAT THE TURKS). IT ALSO WOULD MEAN THERE WAS ANOTHER TEAM CAPABLE OF STOPPING THE CHAVS FROM BUYING THE EUROPEAN CUP - AND THAT ALMOST MEANS AS MUCH TO ME AS ARSENAL WINNING IT!!

OF COURSE, THE POSSIBILITY OF MEETING THIERRY HENRY IN THE FINAL IS STILL ON AND PERHAPS A CHANCE TO REPAY CHELSEA FOR THAT 2004 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER FINAL DEFEAT ALONG THE WAY. ALTHOUGHT I DON'T THINK I COULD BEAR THE THOUGHT OF LOSING TO THEM AGAIN. - SO COME ON FENERBACHE!!!

THE NIGHTMARE SCENERIO IS A MAN UNITED - CHELSEA FINAL, ALTHOUGH, PARADOXICALLY, IT MIGHT END UP BENEFITTING OUR TITLE CHALLENGE IF THEY BOTH STAY IN THE COMPETITION AFTER THE 1/4 FINALS.

ANYWAY, I'M RAMBLING NOW SO TO SUMMERISE: A DECENT DRAW WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE; WE HAVE A CHANCE OF PROGRESSING TO A DREAM FINAL AGAINST BARCA AND A CHANCE TO GAIN REVENGE; I WOULD FEEL NO DISGRACE IF WE DID GO OUT TO LIVERPOOL (UNLIKE LOSING TO CHELSEA OR MAN UTD); IF THE WORST CAME TO THE WORST, EXITING THE C.L. MIGHT END UP HELPING OUR TITLE PUSH.

ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN - THERE ARE EXCITING TIMES AHEAD. 8) :lol: :wink:

Well said IHH...Top Man! 8)

Still think our boys will do well though! :D
