Bat on here folks

The strange thing about the Gerrard assault was just how muted the media reporting was. If it had been any number of other players, and that player had also been fortunate to escape a ban after their previous match, we'd never have heard the last of it.

Good draw for United. Not so good for Arsenal.
Now just to wait for the Europa League draw to see how Fulham go on.

Those Arsenal-Barca games will be brilliant entertainment

Dont worry I can guarantee they will be going out in the next round no matter who they get



You can quote me on that

How many weeks of furious masterbation from the media do we have to endure re the Ar$enal v Barca games????

The Champions League quarter-final first legs will be played on 30 or 31 March, with the returns on 6 or 7 April with the semis over two legs on 20 or 21 April and 27 or 28 April.

United fans might as well book plane tickets now.

Why do they always get the easy draw ffs

quite - the very inventors of football - locked together

Now the draw for the big boys

Wenger wont be happy.

Are you being ironic??

Last few draws Nited have got in the CL...
2009
Arsenal (avoided Chelsea, Barca)
Porto (avoided Bayern, Liverpool, Villareal)
Internazionale

2008
Barcelona (avoided Chelsea, Liverpool)
Roma (avoided Arsenal, Schalke, Fenerbahce)
Lyon

They've certainly not ALWAYS got the easiest draw and I don't think they have again in this round. I would have thought that everyone in the draw was praying to get CSKA.

Its so good they dont even show it on t.v



Thats how we know its good

Eurosport



Benfica

, probably the last side I wanted. I fancied Atletico or Standard, but oh well!

[uEUROPA LEAGUE S.F`s[/u
Hamburg/ S.Lierge v Fulham/Wolfsburg
Valencia/A. Madrid v Benfica/Liverpool

Se its so good no one bothered to tell me and I watched it online

I think at this stage, we shouldn't be too fussed on who we get. All are good sides and we should be considered the favourites for the tournament. I think Benfica are good, they have some fantastic attacking players and they've enjoyed a good season in the league. I fancy our chances but I still remember Simao's goal back in 06.

Fulham seem to have the easiest route to the final I bet Oldham Rhino is fuming

I was only fishing before. Seems I've had a nibble



But I'd rather have Fulham's draw than Liverpool's lol

Don't forget:
[uEUROPA LEAGUE FINAL[/u
Valencia/A. Madrid/Benfica/Liverpool v Hamburg/S. Liege/Fulham/Wolfsburg

Couldn't really have gone worse that. Definately the hardest side of the draw although as my mate's just texted me: "at least we can pretend we're in the CL with that draw"



Really wanted Valencia or Atletico in the final as a return for Rafa or Nando. At least if we get past Benfica one of them will be happy.

Yes, I am sure they will be delighted to perform at the highest levels of the consolation cup.

However, maybe Benitez can drop off some of his Spanish duds on the way home.

Pleased with the Utd draw although the Munich tie will be a tough one if Robben and Ribery are firing for them.

The Arsenal/Barca tie should be entertaining also.
