I would have preferred to play them in the final. In one single match, anything really can happen. But I think it is weird to suggest that we are not the underdogs in a two legged match.

Totally psyched. This is what it's about. Beat them, we can win it

Not a lot of travelling is a real bonus, too - was dreading a trip to the Ukraine

I don't understand why (some) people are soiling their panties over this. We're a half decent football team too you know.

We're gonna beat them.

Dortmund won't exactly be looking forward to facing us either.
They'll know how well we are playing, plus our league position.
Either way - 2 cracking ties to look forward to.

Looking at the draw, a lot of big names are going to get taken out at this stage.

Shakhtar play Anderlecht, so that'll be a weaker team in the next round. Same with Braga v Fenerbahce. I also think Lazio v Prague is a weak tie, and even Sevilla v Basel doesn't look like it creates a fearsome next round opponent.

If we beat Dortmund...it is fucking on. Potentially like Donkey Kong.

Spot on...........we beat them we will win it....if we lose better now than in the semi's and all those extra games for nothing, i think its a great draw....bring it on.
Exactly my thoughts, if we lose and go out no shame in it and we have just the league to focus on, if we win it then nothing will stop us from winning the comp IMO and the motivation we get from beating one of the world's best teams will help us in the PL, It's a win/win.

weirdly this is the tie I wanted. To quote Rawshack 'we're not stuck in a match against Dortmund, they're trapped in a game WITH US'

Winner comes from this tie. Teams around Europe will be buzzing about this draw.

But United are second favourites apparently

Good draw for stopping Liverpool or United getting a Champions League place. One of them will go in this round and then ourselves (hopefully) or Dortmund can beat the other one in the later stages!
