Ollie

If we win the UCL, i'll cry lol seriously, it'll be a huge weight lifted. In normal circumstances i'd say prem but look how we keep getting knocked out. Ive said this all before lots of times n i'll undoubtedly say it again somewhere too. 2004 - After knocking Arsenal's untouchables out at highbury, we thought it was ours. Monaco and Porto were 2 average teams. We faced Monaco in the Semi and they had a man sent off thanks to Makelele's theatrics so mr tinkerman decided to go all out to win but left gaps at the back and we lost 3-1 when 1-1 wouldve been fine. In the 2nd leg Ibarra's handball goal just on half time for Monaco to make it 2-1 on the night completely took the wind out of our sails and we went out 5-3 on agg. [semi Final] 2005 - Knocked out Barca in an absolute epic, then knocked out a very good Bayern team that knocked out Arsenal in the previous round, we went out to Liverpool with a goal that never went over the line 1-0 on agg. And who can forget Eidur's last minute miss. [semi Final] 2006 - Del Horno's harsh red card at home to Barca changed the game n losing 2-1 at home made it very much mission improbable in the nou camp. [2nd Round] 2007 - Liverpool again, Drogba's miss from right underneath the crossbar was a pivotal moment as we lost on penalties. [semi Final] 2008 - The amazing win over liverpool will be remembered almost like the win over Arsenal in 2004 but like then, it meant nothing as we suffered the most painful and frustrating night in our history. Drogba hit the post late in the second half, Lampard hit the bar late in extra time and JT missed the penalty to win the competition by slipping and hitting the post before Anelka's failure handed Man Utd the European Cup. [Final] 2009 - After an epic 7-5 win over liverpool in the quarters, we met favourites Barcelona and after a 0-0 draw in Spain, we knew a win of any description would do and when Essien scored a stunning left foot volley off the bar, we were dreaming of the Moscow rematch in Rome. But after being denied 3 clear penalties to wrap the game up, Iniesta struck an equaliser in injury time with their first shot on target to put us out. [semi Final] 2010 - WHAT THE HELL CAN HAPPEN NEXT!

We have the best squad in the premiership and we've started well 4 wins out of 4 and playing the best football i have ever seen us play. I don't need to say anything else. Ok the attack is quite weak but we can use Anelka as the main striker and Daniel Sturridge is not just a young talent, he's got it and imo he's good enough to play and be trusted. Don't panic.

Really sad he's gone but we never played him so not surprised. Just wanted to see one more goal , he still had lots to offer imo and i hope he does awesome for Kiev. True living legend of the game and i still to this day wish he came on in the UCL final in extra time. Meh oh well, he's finally gone, most of u are happy now.

Awesome to know that he'll be our leader for another 5 years at least. 5 years + this to get his hands on that European Cup!

Ok cool, at least we'll know what happened to you if we dont see you for the last week of september and beyond. I wanna go to the QPR game because i fancy a good number of loyalty points will be up for grabs in the carling cup. Hope there's no shit, but wouldn't bet against it tho. I know about certain things that still go on outside the ground from time to time but i dont think QPR are quite a millwall.

He's gonna be a world beater in Germany. He seems to have changed them around, i wasn't expecting them to beat Wolfsburg 3-0 at all. Better than Malouda and yes we should've kept him or at least tried to bring him back imo.

Champions League for me 100% because we haven't won it and we have come so close. The last 6 years getting knocked out and the way we have been knocked out has been devastating. We've been kings of England, now its about time we became kings of Europe. If you ask JT, Lamps, Drogs, Ashley Cole and Petr Cech prem or CL, they would tell you CL.

He was good for Real Madrid, very good in fact but this money influx for madrid has fucked him up. Out of all the wingers we had since we started the 4-5-1 stuff under Jose, he was better on his day than anyone else on their day but his injuries just fucked him up, he was a bit of a bottle job in the EPL tho. Would take him over Malouda every day of the week tho and if i could bring Robben back, i would.

Brilliant decision and i hope he gets banned for 3 games now too. I actually put that on my Facebook status as soon as he did it not realising that punishment actually can be done so that was cool lol. The video evidence clearly shows him cheating, he was going down all the time and its so good to see UEFA are finally doing something about it when it causes a moment in the match such as a penalty. Saw Wengers reaction on SSN, absolute disgrace the guy. The little respect i had for him has turned into no respect and my hate for Arsenal has got even bigger amazingly. Hope they get stuffed on Saturday, really hope they do.

We will progress because its finally gonna be our year. Can't wait to go to the home games now, really wanna go to the lot.

It will be tough but they are nice games really and only 1 is fairly far from home but they might enjoy in it Cyprus lol. Man Utd have to go to Russia and Turkey and Wolfsberg are a bloody good team, they wont enjoy that group. Liverpool go to Fiorentina and play Lyon, again not easy and they wont fancy going away to Debreceni Arsenal i think have it quite tough, we saw how good Standard looked against both scouse teams and AZ won the Durch league by a mile last season. Then they have a dodgy trip to Greece which is never easy.

FULL DRAW Group A - Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bordeaux, Maccabi Haifa Group B - Manchester United, CSKA, Besiktas, Wolfsberg Group C - AC milan, Real Madrid, Marseille, Zurich Group D - Chelsea, Porto, Atletico Madrid, Apoel Nicosia Group E - Liverpool, Lyon, Fiorentina, Debreceni Group F - Barcelona, Inter, Dynamo Kyiv, Rubin Kazan Group G - Sevilla, Rangers, Stuttgart, Unirea Urziceni Group H - Arsenal, AZ, Olympiakos, Standard Liege

lol Atletico Madrid n Porto, interesting stuff. Decent traveling anyway so far lol. Liverpool have Lyon and Fiorentina

POT 3 could be dodgy. Hoping for Marseille because its a nice footballing team and small distance. Don't want any long dodgy travelling

Bit on an anti climax really, looks like all the English teams going through again lol, how boring.

We've drawn Porto, so thats not bad at all! Real Madrid vs AC Milan, interesting.... Lyon vs Liverpool Inter have got Barcelona (Eto'o vs Zlatan) Rangers will play Sevilla, toughie for them AZ Alkmaar vs Arsenal Juventus vs Bayern and the last of the good games will be CSKA vs Man Utd Bit Crappy really, wanted Chelsea vs Rangers, Man Utd vs Real Madrid and Arsenal vs Milan or something like that

John Terry defender of the 08/09 UCL again woooo

Pot 2 is fukin strong lol. Pot 1 has 4 English teams out of the 8 teams, its madness really. Can't wait to see our pot 2 opponents lol, really wanna get rangers but wouldnt mind Real Madrid because i would like to see Real at SB and be there and we would probs both go through anyway. Surprised Sevilla are in pot 1 ahead of Inter, Juve, Real Madrid, Porto and Lyon

The last one is definitely real. I'm gonna buy the England home shirt using this method and make sure its from the middle east to see if they are real. The England Shirt (is horrible) is £50 in JD, i want £25 or less. If it works, i'll expand to Chelsea shirts.

Just seen the highlights on SSN, just mental, and the West Ham players celebrating in front of wall fans lol. I went Chelsea vs west Ham in 04/05 when Kezman scored then got a coin chucked at him. Fucking cunts they are. Was also the Carling Cup

Jack Collison is in tears, apparently lost his dad at the weekend and they just showed him in floods of tears. Its terrible and devastating stuff, Can't imagine what's going on outside the stadium. .

showing footage now on SSN live after the whistle. Fans on the pitch and all sorts

Its crazy and it was always going to happen. This thread was started anticipating it, some ppl said nah wont happen in 2009 but it has happened again. Its literally green street live.

Can see a day of absolute frustration, might nick it 1-0. If we score early it could be 5 but if its 0-0 at half time, its gonna get really dodgy. Need an early goal
