UCL Draw Thread

Lol, it's clear that he was, just like when Benayoun sang "You'll never walk alone" and took nr 10 shirt just to stop the progress of Kakuta and disrespect the club thinking he's bigger than us

Did he stand up and say 'Hahhaha Benfica!!!' as a direct insult? There is no logical proof what so ever

No game is easy when it's a quarter final, Benfica, Apoel, Barca or Leicester. Cup games are so different to league games. I went to the quarter final in 2008 against Fenerbahce and you could feel the tension although we were much the better team on paper, we scraped through so nervously 3-2 on aggregate. I really hope no one under estimates Benfica because after the season we're having, we can lose to anybody and Benfica are a very decent team. We should progress though especially with the 2nd leg being here. I reckon we can get a win out there too but i'd rather draw just so the mind is focused rather than confused what to do like Liverpool 09.

Let's make history.

I Wont, we don't want to win Champions League and we just spend 20 millions per year in players and you are so frustrated to win it (only in your dreams) that you spend like 100 millions on players and still play like sh1t.

You will learn good football 27 March.

In all seriousness what is the reception DL4 and Rami going to get?

Oh, you're the new guy around here

p.s. we really need that irony font

[capriccioso 2,545]

Which one player in the world can contain Messi?

How I wish it would be 2009 again. The worst defender (Bosingwa) in the world keeping the best attacker in the world in his pocket and Drogba bullying the shit out of Barcelona's ball playing defenders.

Oh dear. It doesn't look like a repeat of our relationship with Napoli's fans is on the cards.

Unlikely, but one fan(atic) doesn't represent all of them.

[Madmax 9,219]

That Portuguese guy seems a troll.

[Naked Mole Rat 437]

This way of thinking was what cost the elimination of manshitty.

FINE. A RELATIVELY easy draw.

[Ollie 4,400]

Didn't Benfica lose 4 in a row before scraping past Zenit? Benfica are a good team but they can be got at defensively and concede goals. We need to go for an away goal or 2 and go for the throat.

[Kezza 1,965]

Sweet, another confidence boosting game. Imagine the critics if we get into the semis? God I love this exciting club..never a dull moment.

[capriccioso 2,545]

One huge disadvantage is this potential semi-final with Barcelona. We'll have to hope AC Milan can beat them, its much more difficult to be attacking at the Camp Nou without conceding a few in the process, and if we're more attacking at the Bridge they could grab an away goal or two and end the tie.

FINE. A RELATIVELY easy draw.

Its a CL game and Chelsea has to win, no matter the name of the opponent, WE ARE CHELSEA, and if Chelsea keeps playing the way they did against Napoles, the chances of winning CL are big, i believe.

[zolayes 14,489]

its going to make for a very hectic schedule.

I’ve just been searching through a Benfica forum, and their fans are extremely arrogant and seem somewhat delusional, don’t be fooled by this ‘don’t underestimate us’ attitude, as they are totally convinced they will progress.
