If we win the group we will get a second place, non-English team. If not, we'll get a first place, non-English team. I'd really like to win the group, so that we don't get Roma again. Aside from their great form, I'm just so damn tired of playing them and Celtic.

whoever gets through to final 16 of CL is gonna give you a good run for your money.
the main benefit is that you get to play your 2nd leg at home if you win the group.
i personally think winner is going to come from england again this season. Preferably us but all of the top 4 have been in a CL final over past 3 seasons which is pretty amazing really.

Agreed. Inter Milan have an excellent squad but they don't dominate small teams like Chelsea, Barça and United are known to do.antdevil78 said:
Anfield has it's aura and it works, Liverpool can hustle a lot of results in that stadium. I reckon it's between Barça, Liverpool, United, Chelsea and Inter except Barça aren't as organized as the British and Inter aren't as ruthless.

Personally I'd like to see how Mourinho puts his squad against us. After so many fixtures with Chelsea I'd be curious if he plays us as if it were a CL or EPL fixture as far as tactics, aggression, etc.

Like i said on the CL topic, there's 4 groups finished at the moment:
Group A
1º Roma
2º Chelsea
Group B
1º Panathinaikos
2º Inter
Group C
1º Barcelona
2º Sporting
Group D
1º Liverpool
2º Atlético
So if you finish 1st, you can play chelsea, Inter, Atlétic or us.
Group E doesn't enter into it, group F, Lyon play bayern, so they're gonna decide who goes 1st and 2nd, i'd wager bayern going 2nd. group G, i think Porto will beat Arsenal at home, wenger left a lot of 1st team players home, and Porto have a score to settle, after the 4-0 at Emirates, and group H i think Juve will stay top, and real 2nd. so i predict this:
Group E
1º Manchester
2º Villarreal
Group F
1º Lyon
2º Bayern
Group G
1º Porto
2º Arsenal
Group H
1º Juventus
2º Real Madrid
So my take is Manchester gets one of these:
Chelsea
Inter
Atlétic
Sporting
Bayern Munich
Arsenal
Real Madrid
My money's on Real Madrid

you clearly don't know us, sir.
I would not love to face real given that they just got a new coach but it would be one hell of a game and if it as exciting as the last time then i would take it albeit with a different result.
Love the way they play merry go round with their coaches when that should be your first point of stability. Should start a thread somewhere on how long Ramos is going to last.

I'll answer that question after this weekend's Barça-Real game.shanky said:I would not love to face real given that they just got a new coach but it would be one hell of a game and if it as exciting as the last time then i would take it albeit with a different result.

If it goes like I think it will, he won't last long...
Yeah good guess as the reason why schuster was fired was because he communicated to the board that the team were not in the right mindset to "possibly" win the El Classico and might end up losing. Now that said why would you want to say the truth outloud when the results already show the same.
But thats a discussion for another topic and i am going off topic. Congrats on getting through the group stages.

I could be wrong and i will stand corrected if so.
Bring on Real Madrid or Bayern Munich for me.
First choice....Munich, just for personal reasons and memories.

Well, he's fired because results are lacking, so he was on a thin rope as it was, and you NEVER EVER say in public that your team can't win against a rival.shanky said:

In the last 16 there can't be matches between teams of the same country.
