Stuttgart v Chelsea

not too bad for Chelsea, should go through handy enough, stuttgart don't have the experience to beat Chelsea's squad.

FC Porto v Manchester United

nice draw for Utd, nothing really to worry about for them

Real Sociedad v Lyon

both teams will be happy with that draw I'd say

Celta Vigo v Arsenal

Arsenal avoid the big hitters

Bayern Munich v Real Madrid

tie of the round, Bayern have a small chance of an upset, but I'd say Real will draw in germany and get a healthy win at home

Sparta Prague v Milan

Milan get lucky!

Deportivo La Coruna v Juventus

another interesting tie, Juventus should go through easily enough though

Lokomotiv Moscow v Monaco

both teams again should be happy enough with that draw, Monaco especially

Thanx 4 The Fish

Bayern Match is most certainly tie of the round. I can see Porto giving United some trouble though, they are not a bad team.

Of the Premiership teams, I reckon Chelsea face the toughest task, but I'd expect all three to go through. Real will wipe the floor with Bayern, who haven't lived up to their past achievements in the last two seasons.

mr_angry

I think Deportivo La Corùna vs. Juventus will be tie of the round. Deportivo are in the top 3 in Spain, and are well capable of beating Juve. Pity they sold Roy Makaay in the summer though. He's the only reason I wouldn't write off Bayern Munich - Madrid are dodgy at the back, and if anyone can exploit that, he can.

Bayern - Real .... nice draw and I am sure it will be a good match...

Stuttgart - Chelsea... not sure how happy Chelsea is with that draw. Stuttgart is very happy with it. They considered Chelsea as one of the intresting teams to play. They think they have a chance.

The advantage for the german teams could be, that they have a winter break, where they can get their players back to fitness, injured players can recover, and they can charge their batteries....

I think the winter break made it two years ago possible for Leverkusen to compete in the second half of the competetion the way they did.

Some intresting ties, but Bayern-Real and Depor-Juve are for sure the hits...

Third_Echelon

Go away troll.

Third_Echelon

comment withdrawn..

.. but isnt a troll someone else under a different username...

i think the word you are looking for is flaming????

sorry had to point that out..

back to topic...

from that draw i fancy Man Utd to go thru no hassle

Thanx 4 The Fish

That's a good contribution there Third. :rolleyes:

Is it any wonder that so many threads descend into United V Liverpool slagging matches. I cannot see what value that comment brought to the thread but in making this comment you are showing how much of a United, rether than football fan you are.

BTW, you are wrong, a troll is not somebody who uses a different user name. There is a newbie faq that you can have a look at which will explain alot of this to you.

Third_Echelon

actually quite the opposite.. dont support united at all...

thats what some mod told me it was....

Just struck me how many fairly ordinary teams are left in the CL this year. This is a good chance for an English club to win it I reckon. The Uefa should be interesting enough as well with Valencia, Gala, Pool, Inter, Barca, Parma, Lazio, Celtic and Gala still in it..

Man your like this online too...

Everyone, Third is an Everton supporter and is a bit angry that the Everton B team (Liverpool) are an infinetly more successful club than the A team. So we weill just ignore him I think.,..


I agree with angry, Juve and Depe is the one that is causing my nuts to swell

Tray

United will have a pretty easy run of things with Porto tbh.

Third_Echelon

causing my nuts to swell

thats a bit racey for the football board... i call for a ban...

jesus had an inferiority complex about liverpool.. so if you mention anything bad.. or say anything bad against them.. he immediately jumps to their defense.... damn houllier lover..

Third_Echelon

Brondy v Barcelona - defo barca for that one...
Parma v Gençlerbirligi - parma will go thru
Benfica v Rosenberg - tight one there.. couldnt call
Marseilles v Dnipro - marseilles defo
Celtic v FK Teplice - celtic should win that

Valencia v Besiktas - tie of the round i think.. tough one
Glatasaray v Vilareal - gala winners i think
Brugges v Debreceni - who the hell are debreceni?
FC Sochaux v Inter Milan - Milan i think sochaux will give them a good game though
Liverpool v Levski Sofia - liverpool should win this.... see jesus i am no biggot...lol
Spartak Moscow v Mallorca - moscow
Gaziantepspor v AS Roma - roma
Auxerre v Panathinaikos - auxxerre should win
Valerenga v Newcastle United - hopefully newcastle...

I think the 3 English teams will be more delighted that Real got Bayern and Juve got Deportivo tbh. Even though Bayern aren't firing on all cylinders at the moment and Depor are a bit hit and miss, things could be very dirrerent come Smarch.

As for the UEFA Cup draw

Levski Sofia...founded in 1914...ah it's all here...

The homepage of FC Levski

Third_Echelon

that Levski Sofia site has to be the worst webpage that ive ever seen... it hurts your eyes

Space Coyote

...and head

Not a whole lot of effort went into the design methinks!

Makaveli

Don't write off Celta Vigo. They are a handy enough side and could certainly dump Arsenal out of the competition.

johnor

Think space coyote was right there, its good for the english teams that brian munich, depor juve and real all drew each other, no matter what form a tema like this is in they can always lift their game for big games.....


look forward to the football, should be some good games....

That draw could have been alot worse for united. Thank god they didnt get munich

i think that munich will put Real out of the competition

kida

Arsenal have been troubled by sides a lot worse than Celta Vigo.
Still think they will get through over 2 legs.

Chelski could find it tough against Stuttgart- they don't give anything away. Can see it being 0-0 at the end of 2 legs.

United should have no trouble against Porto - decent team but should cause no problems.

Delighted to see 2 of Real/Munich/Depo & Juve going out.

United should have no trouble against Porto - decent team but should cause no problems.

Porto must be the most underrated team in the CL. They are a super team and they are one of the three teams (Deportivo and Bayern the others) that everyone needed to avoid. I think this will be the upset of the round but if Porto were given enough credit it wouldn't actually be classed as an upset.

The Muppet

Theres no easy matches in the latter stages of this competition as theres very little between the teams. Porto are a good side and UTD will have to play at their best to go through.

evilhomer

Valerenga v Newcastle United

Newcastle definetly for that one

Valerenga are in the norwegian first division and are about 4 places from bottom of the table!!!

I can see Newcaslte going through

TwoShedsJackson

Most of the people who post in this forum have never heard of Porto's players, apart from Deco maybe, so because they're not household names in Britain they think it inconceivable that they could beat Manchester United :rolleyes:

sporting lisbon?
Ricardo Quaresma was the other young fella that was being hyped up as the next Figo

RasTa

No he came from Lisbon, Real Whooped Porto 3-1 there in Portugal and i expect United to do the same

Space Coyote

Well Porto are the reigning UEFA Cup holders so they are a half decent side, even though they only had to beat a rubbish team like Celtic in the final. What English team did Celtic knock out again, I have selective memory ?
Anyhoo, I can see Man Utd losing maybe 2-1 away but comfortably beating them in Old Trafford.

P.S. If persons don't know that Fake Ronaldo and Ricardo Queresma came from Sporting Lisbon, then look it up on the net first and at least pretend ye know something about football ! :rolleyes:

Quaresma , people should check the net for spelling or something before posting,
not trying to be a pedantic fuck or anything...

They have a winter break in spain dont they?


Might be telling when Arsenal go to celta vigo.

Do they have a winter break in Portugal?

I don't think so.

Stuttgart - Chelsea, well except of Lyon maybe the easiest team Stuttgart could get. As long as they don't get Juve, Milan or Real Stuttgart has to be happy. Maybe they are able to make a wonder and reach the next round.

Bayern - Real, I wouldn't say it is that easy for Real. Bayern played very bad in the last months but i am sure they will come back in the next months and when they reach their old strength again real has to be afraid. 4 looses in the last 7 matches against them.
