A tricky draw for us - the 2nd toughest pot 1 side and probably the toughest pot 4 side we could have got. The only real positive is we missed all the long journey's in pot 3. A very easy draw for Utd, ok(ish) for Chelsea and a very tricky draw for City. In a strange way City would have been better off getting a tougher pot 4 side because when you get 3 decent sides and a whipping boy, it basically becomes a shootout from the games vs the top 3 and it leaves you less margin for error.

Don't look forward to it, you'll only be disappointed. They're not far off being the Italian Burnley - maybe not quite as physical but spend 90 minutes trying to ruin the game. When they missed out on CL qualification I was relieved as we always seemed to draw them - we ended up with Atletico instead :o

I'm sure you're right, but I've always had a soft spot for them so hopefully it wont be that bad. As for Atletico, you have my sympathy!
