Any conjecture now is pointless - in 11 weeks strong teams could have a string of injuries/suspensions.

Then if we win it's Rosenborg or Fiorentina away first.

Norway will be a home from home for us Evertonians with all the Liverpool supporters over there

Bloody hell, didn't want Barca.

I fancy Milan to beat Arsenal. Of all the teams Arsenal could have faced I think Milan is the worst. They're the masters at stopping the opposition play and Arsenal need to play. They can't rely on a Kaka or a Ronaldo to win the game for them.

Nice money spinner for Aberdeen.

Inter - Liverpool. Gona try and get tickets for the Liverpool game. Inter all the way

DSB · 21-12-2007 05:49PM

Celtic are gonna get absolutely taken apart.

eirebhoy · 21-12-2007 05:56PM

We know you really love Celtic DSB.

I dunno, they said the same of Liverpool last season...and Barca aren't the same team they were when they won the CL a few seasons back...Celtic could well make life difficult for Barca

Barca are probably a better team now. Iniesta and Xavi have really perfected their game, Henry will continue to be a superstar with them. Messi is just out of this world whereas he was still really finding his feet back then. And Celtic really aren't good at all. Wouldn't be a match for any of the top 7/8 in the Premiership. Nowhere near the quality of Liverpool. Liverpool beating Barca wasn't THAT big a shock like.

Eto will be back for the ties also i think....i cant see celtics defence holding up against him no matter who strachan signs in the window.

Its true, Toure, Milito, Abidal have made their defence stronger... Iniesta is in my opinion better that fabregas, he has grown into the complete midfielder... Xavi has become even better, his passing is second to none...

The only big losses to barca are Ronnies form and the loss of Henrik... Minor losses being Marquez has become pretty dire (he's improving lately though)...

Im in no way dismissing Celtic, they are a great club and there fans were really nice last time they visited, its just i personally think we will still get through...

eirebhoy · 21-12-2007 07:24PM

Yeah Stachan was asked who he thinks the best of the lot is. "There's 3 or 4 in there who could be world player of the year the last 6 years but I think the one who excited most just now is young Messi. And they've also another fantastic gem in Iniesta. He's a fantastic player".

Not too bothered about getting Inter. They are a good side at the minute and flying in Serie A but they normally fúck up at the business end of the CL. We should be able to take them if Agger is fit to look after Zlatan.

I think United fans might be underestimating Lyon though.

You think Inter will be that much of a stroll in the park?? I think liverpool fans are definitely underestimating inter... Should be a quality game nonetheless...

A glamour tie for Celtic although we will be lucky to get away with anything but a loss. I really enjopyed my trip to Barcelona for the UEFA Cup tie a few years ago.

That's very clever and interesting too. Wish our maths teacher had shown us stuff like that. Any odds it'll be the Liverpool and Arsenal games shown on RTE?

Don't bet on RTE showing an Arsenal game, don't quote me but I think it is more than 14 champions league gameweeks since Arsenal have been live.

Thankfully I have other channels to watch the gunners...should be two good games

eirebhoy · 21-12-2007 09:34PM

The fact is that they'll get more viewers if they show Man Utd. I do think they'll show Arsenal though as they seem to be copping on recently.
