Why's everyone so worried about Villa? It could have been much, much worse.

I'd have no problems in playing Villa if we get that far - be some right banter for that one :)

Again, Villa or CSKA could have been worse - imagine getting drawn against the AC Milan v Werder Bremen tie.

Was just thinking that.

Still, I never want to play fellow Englishmen in Europe

well as I said I'm not worried about Villa - I'll take that draw if we get far - we owe them one for some of the recent games v them

Will be very tuff game, such a shame we couldnt have got a 3rd goal last night as would have won the group and looking at who udinese got would have been far easier tie! Really do think it is the most stupid rule that teams who finish 3rd in champions league drop into the UEFA cup really devalues the compition!

but udinese have zenit in the round of 16 so.....
I agree with the CL rule being stupid, rewards mediocracy

Better to have avoided the Ajax v Fiorentina tie as well.

As for meeting an English team, well, guess it would have to happen at some stage if we wanted to win the cup

I'm engaged to a Villa fan. It doesn't get any worse...


...if we lose. They have to play CSKA first, which is a whole deal tougher than Shakhtar, and we play the second leg in both fixtures at home. I'm fairly happy with the draw, myself.
