they will also do the semi final draw at the same time

[Ronnie Whelan]

Its a very open competition this year. Several teams looking pretty good and all English IMO.

[Cauley1]

The draw starts (both quarter finals and semi finals) at 1pm UK time (2pm CET).

 

Arsenal

Manchester United

Chelsea

Barcelona

Roma

Schalke

Fenerbahce

Liverpool or Inter Milan

4 English teams and 1 each from four different countries. Platini won't like that at all.

 

What odds on all English semi finals.

to be honest it will be an english team or Bacelona (or maybe Inter!) who will win it

 

I hope that we can avoid Barca because If one of us gets knocked out it will mean a bigger chance for an english team to win it

Question. Bearing in mind that its a Friday afternoon, I'm bored in work and I've little else to be thinking of.

Why did you decide to highlight Liverpool in bold?

Is this draw completely open or is it two pots of 4?

[Raj]

Its a completely open draw

They will be using the UEFA fair draw method.......4 pots of 2.

Watch us get the Chavs and the Mancs get Fener.

[Hassony]

Is this draw completely open or is it two pots of 4?

 

2 pots of 3, 1 pot of 2, team from pot A to meet first team from pot C, team from pot B to meet second team from pot C, third team from pot A to meet third team from pot B

Completely random.

I think it was in case one was unsure which one of 'Liverpool' or 'Inter Milan' we are. Much better when you highlight it, as such: Liverpool/Inter Milan.

4 English teams

 

FFS. Talk about jumping to f*cking conclusions.

Its the best explanation I could have hoped for!!

[Hassony]

Only one English Owned team, and its the one with no english players!

[Ronnie Whelan]

So, 2 pots of 4. Do we know who is in each pot at this stage?

You can bet your backside there'll be no more than 2 English sides in each group if it is like that. If all the English teams manage to avoid each other, there'll be a massive chance of all English semi's, and there's no way UEFA would leave a chance of that.

[Cauley1]

Its the best explanation I could have hoped for!!

 

I have been known to do this without totally thinking this through.

 

Occasionally, when asked, I am unable to prove that this action was totally justified.

 

Please accept my apologies. I really must get a life.

It is one pot - completely random - not 2 pots!

[Ronnie Whelan]

It is one pot - completely random - not 2 pots!

 

 

Will they be smoking pot?

[Andy @ Allerton]

Will they be smoking pot?

 

 

Pol Pot?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]
