Champions League Draw

[SwiftBlade18]

So what do you guys think of it? If you dont know here it is:

Real Madrid vs Tottenham
Chelsea vs Man Utd
Barcelona vs Shaktar Donestk
Inter vs Schalke

Semis:
Real/Spurs vs Barca/Shaktar
Inter/Schalke vs Chelsea/Man Utd

Being a Spurs fan myself I am quite happy to have Real Madrid, should be a good game - bit harsh that even if we do manage to win we then have to face (most probably) Barca in the Semi's though.

Its just lottery. I cant say il be watching the matches.. football doesnt intrest me

Meh... more interested in why England can't seem to play consistent ODI's.

Having said that... why does it annoy me greatly that Terry is even considered for the captaincy again?!

OT: Go Spurs (if only because I'm British, hate ManU and hate Chelsea even more)

Cant say I can answer why it annoys you but only agree, I dont like John Terry...something about him - namely his face

Well, United supporter here, and I'd say it's a good opportunity to make things right after what happened in the Premier League between the teams.

I'm still pretty pissed at Martin Atkinson.

I'd say United are capable of seeing it through to the semi finals, where they'll most likely face Internazionale. I haven't seen any of Schalke's matches, so I'm not sure how they're doing at the moment in terms of form.

Real Madrid will likely beat Tottenham (sorry) and face Barcelona in the semi finals.

Some good matches coming up, that's for sure.

As a man Utd fan I hoped we wouldn't get Chelsea, we never seem to play well at Stamford Bridge even though we were unlucky last time we were there, but it is still winnable though.

At least we didn't get Barcalona, phew! I think Barca will win the title, in my 22 years on this planet they are the best team I have ever seen imo.

Given that I dont think we (spurs) are going to make it to the final...semi final possibly who knows but not the final. I want Man Utd to win the competition.

2 reasons really...One its a english club and Two wouldnt it mean the qualifying spots in the premier league nudge to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th if we have the winners in the competition.

I do realise Chelsea are a english club obviously but being another London club I prefer them not to win...plus it makes me laugh they seemed to have wasted £50,000,000 on a single player

edit: just to start a side note...who would you want Torres for 50mill or Van der Vaart for 8mill

Even though I have much man love for Torres, I would definitely want Van der Vaart. He may be prone to injury but he's always on form and I think he's the best signing this season.
I don't know why Torres is playing so bad, though watch him next season, he probably won't stop scoring then.

I wouldnt hold your breath, as a Liverpool lad I've been watching Torres slide down the quality hill over the last 2 years, occassional flashes of brilliance, but not the types of performances you want from such a big name and an utterly ridiculous price.

OT: I hope Spurs progress, it seems that they're Englands default neutral team when your own crashes out. Though the prospect of a Barca - Real Madrid final fills me with a sense that it will be a bloody good match. So yeah, for me its:-

Real Madrid beat Tottenham (unfortunately)
Chelsea beat Man Utd
Barcelona beat Shaktar Donetsk
Inter beat Schalke

Real and Barca would meet in the semis if they both progressed.

I'm a Chelsea fan, should be exciting! Will be really interesting to see how Spurs do as well, is Bale fit at the moment? Sergio Ramos is also bloody quick, would be an interesting battle.

Well, since BOTH my teams just got knocked out -.- (Milan and Arsenal), my interest in UEFA has kinda dwindled. If a good fixture come up, I'll definately watch though, like Barca and Madrid, and I'll probably watch Man U and Chelsea. I also just wanna watch Messi play. He's my idol. =D

Barca will win no matter what, they have the Messiah.
