A few interesting match-ups? Actually I think these match-ups are about as uninteresting as it gets... I'm looking forward to Real Madrid v Bayern München though.

From an Italians team perspective, the draw (on a scale of 1 to 10) was favourable as follows, in my opinion:
Porto v Chelsea
Celtic v AC Milan (8/10)
PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal
Lille v Manchester United
(4/10)Roma v Lyon
(I'm afraid it all ends here for Roma...still, should be an entertaining duel)
Barcelona v Liverpool
Real Madrid v Bayern Munich
(6.5/10)Inter Milan v Valencia

Porto v Chelsea is the Mourinho bowl.

Is Porto as good as they have been in the past?

IS

No.

They will lose but the press will play this out of proportion in England.

Pretty shite draw. I look forwardto Barcelona battering Liverpool to annoy all Liverpool supporting mates of mine. Should be great.

Joey, you're right about the whole Porto/Mourinho thing. I may try and get out of the country for the amount of bullshit thats gonna be in the media.

These are my predictions even though there still 2 months away!



Porto v Chelsea -------- Chelsea wins
Celtic v AC Milan ------- Celtic wins
PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal ------- Arsenal wins
Lille v Manchester United ------ Man utd wins
Roma v Lyon ------ Lyon wins
Barcelona v Liverpool ------ Barcelona wins
Real Madrid v Bayern Munich ----- Real madrid wins
Inter Milan v Valencia ------ Inter milano wins


I would really like to see a Barcelona vs. Lyon Finals match this year!

I agree with all the winners posted by Hooligans. Celtic will be the surprise result of the round of 16.

Totally agree with your predictions!!!!!! I think the toughest match is for Real Madrid, i think they have never won in Germany and will be interesting the arsenal-psv matches, i think any of one could win this one but have to give the edge to the experience arsenal!!!!

<H1>Wenger bemoans 'tough' draw

Arsene Wenger maintains Arsenal have not been granted an easy draw, against PSV Eindhoven in the last 16 of the Champions League.

While Liverpool were paired with defending champions Barcelona and Celtic must take on Italian giants AC Milan, both Manchester United - who will play Lille - and the Gunners seem to have been handed a favourable tie.

'The draw was not kind and not unkind,' Wenger told reporters this afternoon.

'PSV have experience of this level. They dominate Dutch football and every year now they are in the last 16, quarter-final, semi-final even of the Champions League against Milan.

'So it is a tough draw.'

</H1>
Wenger is a nice guy, but he's fucking delusional sometimes.
