Is Batman cracking up?

My guess is that the UEFA wants a Barcelona - Chelsea or Barcelona - Man United final, so I predict these quarter finals :

Porto - Barcelona

Bayern - Liverpool

Arsenal - Chelsea

Manchester United - Villareal

You think UEFA want Liverpool through that badly ?

Porto, Arsenal & Villareal are all weaker than Bayern IMO.

There might even be a chance that the UEFA does *not* want 3 English semi finalists (for obvious reasons) and the ref at Liverpool - Bayern will get "instructions"....

If you see the name Pieter Vink on the match sheet, I'd start to worry

Porto and Villarreal are not weaker than Bayern.

Arsenal ? No fucking way are they weaker than Bayern !!!!!!

Villarreal are small and weak like Sporting but a lot more intelligent/experienced at this level.

Porto are Porto.

Sporting are also considerably stronger than Bayern

stronger, maybe. just not as good at football.

I don't know why I feel there's going be Barcelona-Arsenal and Man Utd-Liverpool or Man utd Chelsea.

Here's my final predictions for this draw:

United Vs Bayern
Liverpool Vs Villareal
Chelsea Vs Arsenal
Barca Vs Porto.

why do they hold the draw in nyon, seems such an arbituary place.

why not just hold it in Geneva.

UEFA headquarters are in Nyon. In a hollowed out mountain.

Drawing Bayern is definately the best draw. They think they're a big club and would be favourites.

Porto and Villarreal I would be scared of because I don't think we play as well when we're the favourites. The rest are all a lot better than Bayern.

Bayern are no mugs. They actually have a decent team this year, only thing is that Klose is out injuried.

Bayern vs Arsenal would be good, Germany vs England with no German or English players

Didnt someone manage to "predict" the second round draw a couple of seasons ago, and get all the ties correct

That was inside info or something

Im predicting:

Arsenal vs Bayern
Porto vs Barcelona

United vs Pool
Chelsea vs Villareal

Be to obvious to have all the english teams on one side of the draw, so just have the weakest on one side, and hope they get knocked out.

Man Utd Vs Liverpool

Arsenal Vs Barcelona

Bayern Vs Villarreal

Chelsea Vs Porto

So does it start bang on 11 or is there a bit of preamble first?

Prediction:

Bayern - Chelsea
Manchester - Arsenal
Porto - Barcelona
Liverpool - Villareal

Starts at 10.45 they usually waste half an hour going through the rules, explanation etc.

Just as long as we get an easier draw in the quarters, I'm not too fussed who's in our side of the draw in case of us making the semi's.

Ourselves vs Porto or Villarreal will do.
Then if we get past that bring on someone like Liverpool, Chelsea or Barca in the semi finals.

Don't know why everyone's saying Barca are favorites...haven't people learned that an English side will clearly win the champions league? Liverpool and United should be favorites IMO with Chelsea and Barca second favorites. The rest have no chance IMO.

O RLY?

Not at all likely that all English sides will stay apart, so hopefully this time Man Utd are on a side with another English club this time out. Second leg home ties the only thing that really matters, but even then Arsenal have managed to nick second leg away results.

Barca are favourites because they apparently have 27 world class players luis.

Barca are favourites because they arnt English

God i hate UEFA draws.

Fuck off Uefa, just get on with it.

Any links folks?

And then you get annoyed when players or presidents of other clubs make predictions about their team winning
