You gotta be kidding me.. X3 in a row.

Hopefully last season's exit should teach us to give it more of an effort in bigger games. Our tactics in the tie last season, especially at home was embarrassing.

We had the advantage twice and PSG's backs were up against the wall, we couldn't defend corners for quite some time,

that was the problem, imo.

Otherwise we would have knocked them down. So i don't think the match plan wasn't that bad.

PSG have a great team, but you don't fuck with Mourinho in the knockout rounds.

Tight game, we'll see how it goes, but i for one am quite hopeful, most likely we'll go for UCL glory this season.

Gent vs Wolfsburg, FIXED !!!

Nice draw. I hope that our approach will be different this time. Can't wait.

BTW, if we pass 1/8 we can have easy ride to the semis (Gent vs Wolfsburg and Benfica vs Zenit).

Look France is fantastic.

When using the ferry from Dover to Calais, the French had real hamburgers -not nylon- and tomatoes the size of a small melon.
When from Calais to Dover it was back to Spartan existence.

The English tomatoes for instance were a downright regulatory offense.
Don Juan the king of Spain when student in England made the same remarks but in vain. Nothing changed.

Used to get Liverpool all the time now PSG

PSG again. We have to get our revenge

[cosmicway 1,323]

We could use the transfer window to improve things.

In any case we just have to have a go.

Mourinho named four players who are underperforminh. Cahill was one of them but rather wrongfully. For the other three age is the factor and Diego Costa was not among the four.

Oh my god. PSG again?! As if playing them 4 times within the last 2 years isn't enough!

They're 17 points (SEVENTEEN!!!) clear in the league and they can practically just rest players all the way until February. That's without mentioning the fact that they have a winter break coming up while we have to slug it out through the busy Christmas/New Year.

Euch. Worst possible draw for us.

Thier midfield will dominate.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

We will fuck them

How things change in a short space of time. This stage last season, huge chunk of fans were very happy with the draw and just envisaging Costa embarrassing Luiz. Now, this season, nearly all of us are dreading the tie despite majority of our team still being here while PSG main addition is Di Maria. Maybe the underdog tag may just work in our favour. Who knows...

First leg is on 16th February (Tuesday) - in between Newcastle and potential FA Cup 5th Round games

Second leg is on 9th March (Wednesday) - in between Stoke and Liverpool league games

Logically, I can't see us advancing if all their key players are available and in form. Miracles happened in 2012, who knows what 2016 has in store!

God i hate UCL draws, same games all the time. And obviously Barca-Arsenal and Bayern-Juve, 2/3 of the best games, are being played at the same day.

And it always happens.

[Jase 43,479]

Just wait for PSG to start their banter on Twitter.....

[empire of emotions 247]

im sure we will knock them out

Forgot about that. Well, that will mean multiple screens or avoid scores and watch a replay. The latter is hard though.

Anyone know why they don't play one game at 18.00 and one at 20.00 (UK time)?

[Azul 1,615]

Hopefully we'll be in a beast form when we're playing PSG. This really looks fixed though. PSG again? Barca-Arsenal again? Nah fuck this shit.
