Who do we want in the last 8 of the Champions League?

[TheBlueRooster]

Any of the European sides for our first CL match at the new stadium, I don't think any of the home teams will be quite the same.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Are Huddersfield still in it?

If they are out I'd like Ajax with the second leg at NWHL

 

[jamesinashby]

For me, Porto or Ajax and preferably not any of the British clubs. The easier the journey to the final, the less stressful.

Anything can happen in a 2 leg CL cup game. But, as we proved against all odds from a poor start to the competition to comfortably seeing off Borussia Dortmund, this team can perform on its day. We are not the bookie's favourites, but the favourites often don't win.

I dare to dream but with fingers well and truly crossed.

What are the chances we get Porto and they knock us out I wonder

 

[bubble07]

Less than a 3% chance that 2 English sides won't be drawn against each other

 

[bubble07]

Porto and Ajax would want us and we would want them. So let's make it happen

I don't think that's right? For the first pairing it's 4/7 that it's English vs Foreign (if it's an English team out first, there'd be four foreign teams they could draw vs three English ones, and vice-versa). If that happens then for the second one it's 3/5. Then third would be 2/3, and the last would be 1/1. So the cumulative probability is (4/7)*(3/5)*(2/3) ≈ 22.857%

It'll be fixed I reckon. Uefa won't want 2 English clubs in the final ensuring at least 2 go out next round. Likely they'll want Juventus v Barca final. We'll get either above next while ManC will get Porto. LFC ManU to fight it out.

What did the QF draw look like the last time 4 English teams were in there?

Chelsea played Liverpool (epic 4-4 draw in the second leg). Arsenal and United kept apart.

 

[@WHL]

Ajax v. Spurs, Liverpool v United, City v Barca and Porto v Juve.
I can dream ?

 

[Mate]

Man City v Porto
Barcelona v Ajax
Juventus v Man Utd
Liverpool v Tottenham

My gut feeling...

 

[Spurger King]

My guess...

City v Spurs
Liverpool v United
Barca v Ajax
Porto v Juve

 

[mark87]

Porto v Juve
Tottenham v Man Utd
Ajax v Man City
Liverpool v Barca

 

[Shadydan]

Porto v Juve
Tottenham v Man Utd
Ajax v Man City
Liverpool v Barca

Wouldn't mind that.

I make it 7/1 and zero (in that order)

 

[Krule]

I'd take Man City Vs Barca, Utd Vs Lpool, Ajax Vs Juve and Spurs Vs Porto all day long

 

[tobi]

I'd be happy with Porto, Ajax or Man Utd.

Messi or Ronaldo can wait till the final.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Hmm. The same people wanting us to draw Ajax or Porto, because they'd be the easiest opposition.

I bet you would also want us to play the likes of Burnley & Southampton as we approach the business end of the season and hope to cement our place in the top 3 and keep pace with the 2 teams above us.

I'm not meaning to be negative. The games we've actually performed in (in parts) recently, were against the likes of Chel$ki, United, Arseanal & Dortmund.

Maybe we'd be better if we had a tough draw?

I should point out that I obviously do understand the desire for Porto or Ajax & I actually do hope for the same. I'm just thinking more from the teams point if view based upon recent performances, or lack of them.

 

[DiscoD1882]

Probably crap. But worth posting. Pretty sure we get one of these every year.
