Probably getting ahead of myself here, but get Olympiakos in the QF and we have a great chance of reaching the semis, and from there, anything is possible.

Avoid Madrid and Bayern de Munich and we might be in for another great Champions League campaign.

I stand by what I said earlier - both Chelsea and Mourinho are massive names and I don't think UEFA is stupid enough to go for a Chelsea/Mourinho - Madrid or a Mourinho - Guardiola in the Quarter-finals. Just like they won't go for a Madrid - Barsa. These are games destined for Semi-finals (TV, big money involved, you know, stuff like this) or the Final so my guess is Chelsea will get one of Atletico de Madrid, Paris, Borussia or Barcelona maybe. Hope for United (Oly) though.

after those heroic efforts last week by Man City and especially Arsenal ,, Chelsea managed to struggle though against the minnows from Turkey

do you believe politicians as well ..I wont ask about the tooth fairy

So happy that we're through, I was really impressed by how fluid and controlling we played, esp. in defense and the midfield. This is wishy-wishy talk, but in a way I would love to meet Barca, Bayern or Real and give them a huge unexpected spanking if we play at home first, like how the German teams humiliated the Spanish teams in the SF's last season. It feels like a lifetime ago since we've totally (unexpectedly) humiliated a big club scoreline-wise.

I'm not naive, but I havent seen a single consistent (and rational) conspiracy theory on why FIFA and UEFA would try to cheat the draw!

For instance, FIFA would have never drawn Sweden and Portugal in the World Cup qualification round if they were manipulating it...

Fifa also got paid to have the world cup at Qatar.

[Eligius 121]

I think we are going to draw either PSG or Dortmund.

I have a feeling atletico is going to get bayern next round.

Real vs dortmund

Barca vs olympiacos

FIFA executives (not the institution itself) got payed to have the World Cup hosted in a certain country every single year. It was not just Qatar!

However, that is a whole other discussion. I am specificaly talking about sports (in-game) related draws. I honestly believe they are not prescripted...

What the fuck is going on with ponies, dark horses, small horses and horses in general this season? It seems like every manager and player uses this metaphor.

I know, right? It's complete horseshit I tell you!

[Kieran. 6,317]

I'd be a bit disheartened if we draw Madrid or Bayern Munich in the next round, but any of the other teams I would look forward to. I think we'd take Barcelona down again.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I'd rather Bayern than Barcelona

[haranr 485]

We are the Dark Horses! COMMON Chelsea! We are not afraid from anyone. Real Madrid?? No problem. Bayern?? Let's get it over with
