Much ado about nothing

in the end we got arguably the easiest of them all. surely the most Boring and geographically closest 

uefa showed what we all knew. They are not only corrupted but also incompetent botching a fkin draw

 

Yeah, Dippers going from Salzburg to Inter was a bonus, whilst Atleti from PSG isn't as big of a drop as it could've been for Utd. City kinda of stayed neutral not much between Sporting and Villareal.

Anyone mind telling me please what is this redraw thing? Why did they redo the draws?

There are teams that cannot be put together to be drawn against each other in the round of 16, same country, same group..etc. The first draw they screwed up and had teams together that should not have been so they had to do a redraw.

Nice! I will be able to see both of those.

From what I have seen it's 22nd February first leg. Which is good for us considering CWC final in Abu Dhabi is on February 12th.

Yup. Feb 22 it is.

Abu Dhabi is 4h time difference to London, so still a bitch but manageable. If everything works out fine and no postponed games with covid, we will have a full week to prepare for Crystal palace which is almost a homegame on the 19th.

also there is a blank in the schedule just before the cwc between 23rd Jan and 9th Feb so i guess there will be a fa cup or league cup weekend in between?

That is two and a half weeks actually because now teams have break in winter. Just before CWC on weekend 5th-6th February we will have 4th round FA Cup tho. Which is good thing to get momentum after the break. Play half first team players there and other half in semi final CWC so they are ready for final where we should go full strength.

We already have 2 PL games postponed because of CWC. If we get to the Carabao Cup final game against Leicester will also be postponed. And QF, semi final and final of FA Cup are also on the dates when we have PL games.

So if we go all the way in all comps it will be very tricky to find free dates for postponed PL games.
