2. Alkmaar

3. Beskitas

4. Debrechen

 

I predict Chelsea will get;

 

1. Chelsea

2. Porto

3. Stuttgart

4. Unirea Urziceni

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

don't the Mancs have a bye to the Final?

[ManxRed]

That last one in Chelsea's group is an infectious disease of the liver isn't it?

 

You're right about us getting Real Madrid though.

[Ostrich Man]

I predict if liverpool end up with an easier group than UTD you wont be back on saying "ok i got it wrong, Im sorry but Im just a whinger who likes to think the reason other teams have had more success in the last few decades rather than liverpool is cause theres some big conspiracy going on to help them win trophies, its nothing to do with them having better players, better managers and a better will to win coupled with the fact liverpool just havent been good enough"

Well.. History of most of the last draws have really backed up your argument the..

 

Oh.

 

Hang on.

 

 

D'oh!

[Ostrich Man]

Be interesting to see which teams you've got compared to us in all the stages.

 

Given we've had pretty much every top European side in the last x years and you seem to get a bye pretty much every other round, it would be interesting reading. And yet despite that your manager is so rubbish that even with all his money and influence, he's still only won the thing twice. I'd expect even a woefully average manager splurging the money he has to spend in comparison with other teams would have won it 3 or 4 times minimum.

 

But that can't be right can it? Surely Ferguson is the best manager in the history of the Universe isn't he?

 

(Ha ha ha)

[Ostrich Man]

is european success the only indicator for greatness now then?

 

 

hmmmm

Good job it isn't the only thing, otherwise Manchester United would be the laughing stock of World Football.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Utd will get Real Madrid just to ensure they cant get each other in the last 16

"good job" ? Idve thought you would have liked that.

[Andy @ Allerton]

I do like it. 21 years in the job with near-limitless funds and more influence in the game than probably anyone else before him and he can only manage 2 wins?

 

Brilliant.

Who can deny we shouldve won more european cups in that time though as you say andy good job the other 30 odd trophies hes won during that time including 11 league titles and 5 FA cups not to mention the 10 trophies for Aberdeen along with those two european cups that have him held in such high regard, as one of if not probably the best british manager of all time, throughout the footballing world.

 

 

good call on the Draw though Andy youll be lucky to get a win at all.
