Champions League & Europa League Draw

For the 2nd time in 3 years we have a realistic chance of all English finals in both competitions - Utd & Arsenal certainly should be making the EL final.

I'd think that the winner of Bayern/PSG vs City/Dortmund will go in to win the competition.

City will fall to pieces in a game and go out. I will eat my pants if they win it. They just don't seem to be able to do it when they have a great side. Kind of like how Manu used to have the best team and fail to win what should have been European title after title. They will implode, most likely against an English side.

PSG vs Liverpool final.

Oh my Arsenal and Liverpool win the competitions and Everton finishing 4th would be absolutely incredible.

Everton will be lucky to finish 8th, let alone 4th. Especially now Rodriguez has decided he would rather do anything else rather than play for Everton. I can't even remember the last time this season Everton played well, October?

Same I will eat my hat if City go on to win it. That top half of the Champions League is brutal. Liverpool have a very easy route to the final to be honest. If they can get most of their team back by the final I fancy them to win it.

It would make my day if Liverpool beat City in the final if they make it that far.

We have an easy game to be fair and whoever wins our semi final will go on to win it imo.

I think Arsenal will lose to Prague. They absolutely bossed Leicester don't forget and made Rangers look like a pub team.

We're not getting anybody but Henderson back by the end of the season. I made a tongue in cheek comment earlier about VVD but as I later said, Klopp's already sending messages to the Dutch national side not to pick VVD for the Euros and Gomez & Matip are further behind him in their rehab. We could make it to the final but to suggest it's anything like easy given the state of us at the moment is a bit mad.

Doesn't matter if VVD does make it back this season or next, I doubt he will be the same player again. How many players at his age come back from something like that? Even younger players sometimes need years to get their heads round it.

Theres a real possibility we don't even show up for the quarters, not sure why anyone would be thinking further ahead. Chelsea turned us over easily enough at Anfield too.

Really hope it isn't an all english final in either competition. I mean, whats the point. Its just another domestic game which isn't the point of the CL/EL.

What else can you do though if they allow multiple teams in especially now they've bundled the CWC in with the UEFA cup, not England's fault if they are too good and keep getting teams to the latter stages. At least if it's a final it makes it more of an event, played at a foreign venue, all the razzmatazz etc.

Its not even that the England sides are too good...the usual suspects have absolutely plummeted in the last few years. Barca and Real are a shadow of what they once were.
