> I however support Liverpool.

Woo!! Another one.

Maybe someone else to travel with from Dulwich!

[Keef]

Arsenal 0 Liverpool 4, would love it if you were right, but think that may be just a tiny bit optimistic!

[matthew123]

I just got a crazy hunch, it sort of came to me the other night, 4-0 to Liverpool! Might be totally wrong and be on the end of another Arsenal beating but I think Sunday might be Robbie Keane's day! :)

[Ladygooner]

I think matthew123 must be a bookmaker and is just after your betting money!

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Champs league draw taking place.. its very exciting

[Rhinestone Cowboy]

Chelsea vs Juve Ranrieriee going to smash you

Lyon vs Barc Barc look very pleased with that

Real Madrid vs Liverpool unlucky Pool you out

Arsenal vs Roma hmmmm

Inter vs Man utd nice to see that one

[Sandperson]

There's some good ties there. Not sure about Real, one can only hope, but they don't look good this season.

[mockney piers]

Yep, Real pretty rubbish this season by their standards.

[Ladygooner]

Rome in early March - should be quite pleasant at that time of year!

[Keef]

Decent loking ties. I don't think the pool have anymore to worry about than anyone else to be honest.

Need a fit Torres though!

[Sandperson]

As they say, there's no easy ties at this stage. United had a couple of amazing games against Real a few years back and I think we only lost to them because there was a bit of a 'wow' factor. I think that still plays a part in these games sometimes because we romanticise these Italian and Spanish clubs.

[Annasfield]

Wonder if Ronaldo will be in Madrid then. Not that he can play as he'll be cup tied.

[Sandperson]

Maybe, if the rumours are to be believed. I wonder if Torres will be fit...

[Keef]

I think those rumours are nonsense.

I remember Macca having one of his best performances for Real at Old Trafford, and being roundly booed when taken off late in the game. He walked of with the biggest grin on his face!

Man U & Liverpool definitely have the harder draws I think. Saying that, a former manager will have something to prove to Chelsea!

[matthew123]

I think by far the toughest draws are for Arsenal and Chelsea, who will have to play the second legs in Italy, in Rome and Turin respectively.

I'd say Liverpool have the easiest of the draws for the big 4, even if the 2nd leg was not at Anfield.

[lard]

Interesting Champ League matches.

To be honest, any team can beat any other so it doesnt make that much difference. Saying that though, I'm glad that ManU havent got their usual Sporting Lisbon or the like.

Villa and Spurs are going to get cold.

[Jah Lush]

You're not wrong there lard. Gonna a be a very tough draw for both teams especially Spurs against the very rich Shakhtar Donesk.

[SimonM]

Real have been living off their legend for several years now..I bet they are more pissed at drawing Liverpool than vice versa

[Keef]

Villa and Spurs will meet in the last 16 should they both get through this round...
