Worst possible draw. Not just because I think they'll beat us over two legs, but because it's an English team it doesn't even feel like a CL game. If we drew e.g. Barca then I'd be saying that's what the competition is all about, bring it on! But because it's another PL team it's not special in any way now.

That fixture might actually just come at a good time for us. They play us at the Lane, Palace away, us again in the CL and league and then United away.

They're squad is deep as hell but there will most likely be and Fa Cup semi final for them to consider as well around that time won't there?

CL will be their #1 priority.

Team fucking optimism out in force again then.

I'm normally very optimistic but this draw has just pissed me right off! Surely the most difficult draw we could have had, especially playing at home first. And, as someone points out above, it would be more fun to play a big European team rather than another English one - and I genuinely think we would have had a better chance against Juve or Barca.

Still, my optimism will soon return and hopefully it'll still be a great tie, whatever happens...

Every single bloody time those scouse bastards get the easiest draw. Every time!!
Except last time, when they drew Bayern Munich in the Last 16. Or the time before that when they got a group of death with PSG and Napoli. Or last season when they got the same QF draw as we have now.

Man U fans moaning they have a 6 day gap when two ties have 8 day gaps.

We weren't even supposed to get out of our group.

Still capable of beating any side on our day, if we want to do the very unlikely and win the CL, we have to beat the favourites at some point.

Over 2 legs, it's doable...so much doom and gloom.

Exactly. Every time you see a team you don't like get an easy draw, you remember all the other easy draws and not the hard ones, Pool have in fairness had a tricky campaign to get this far.

I'm leaning towards some sleep first. Otherwise I'll drink to much! Lol

UEFA games air at around 21:45 here in SA, so I usually have a sleep from about 18:00 to 20:00 thus giving me 2 hours to add to the 5 hours I get after the game before work the next day. Tactical napping 101.
