Be interesting to see the potential damage limitation/burying of heads in sand from the Russian authorities when Liverpool go Zenit.

Exactly, I think it will be close but I'd make us definite underdogs. It's an exciting tie though and we haven't much to lose as Tom rightly pointed out. Going to have to sell a kidney for tickets to the second leg I imagine but it will be worth it.

This, unless united pull out 2 performances that are similar to the first 30 minutes against City this season, we've not got a chance.

Praha is Prague. They're third in Czech Gambrinus liga at the moment.

Ah, standard Chelsea draw then

Is there a tree view of this somewhere so we know what the possible 1/4 final matches are?

The quarter-final matches will be determined by an open draw which will be held on the 15th of March.

None of the British teams will go through, all 3 play against superior teams.

The Old Lady is getting bent over by Celtic, hope she's got plenty of lube

Im not sure how much the form of Real MAdrid will come into play. its a big game and im sure their players will be up for it, regardless of what they are doing domestically.

Think whoever gets Barca or Real really have the two toughest ties.

I worked out the probability of the draw that happened today and got 1/6300 but for the rehearsal draw they came out in a different order so the odds might be different. Anyone else had a go at working it out?

United can usually muster one decent european performance a year, can see them going through

That'll stand us in good stead if your lot can win the trophy with one decent half.

Well I mean your lot did it with 3 flukey minutes so anything is possible
